The Grumman F-14 Tomcat served as the U.S. Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor, and tactical aerial reconnaissance platform into the 1990s. This pedestal F-14 Tomcat greets visitors at the entrance of 'National Museum of Naval Aviation' at NAS Pensacola. It was only the fifth Tomcat produced and was one of the prototypes used in the early testing of the aircraft. It is the first F-14 Tomcat ever placed on public display. A/C has been restored displaying the markings of Fighter Squadron 41 (VF-41, "The Black Aces").
