The F-14 Tomcat was an advance fighter jet for the US Navy when it went into operation in the late 1960's. It was unique in that it had swing wings that allowed it to vary the wing span so it could fly slow and supersonic. It was made famous for the average citizen when the movie "Top Gun" was released starring Tom Cruise.
