- Grumman F-14 A Black Tomcat Vandy One US Navy Test + Evaluation Squadron VX-4 Naval Air Station Point Mugu/ California USA 1990 Aircraft Background Information The manoeuvrable F-14 is one of the most effective weapons systems used by the wester air forces & is still one of the most modern interceptors in the US Navy. Developed as an air superiority fighter, it has an outstanding performane range &, with its AW G-9 fire control radar, can fire its AIM-54 Phoenix guided missiles at up to six targets simultaneously. The prototype was already in the air in 1970 & was thoroughly tested by Navy Test & Trial Squadron VX-4 at Pt. Mugu, before deliveries started in 1972. The initial P&W power unit was later replaced by the more powerful GE F 110. Since 1973 more than 29 US Navy squadrons have been using the F-14. The predominantly black painted F-14 Vandy One of the Navy Test Unit VX-4 in Pt. Mugu (California) was a sensation in 1990.
