Question : Hi. Are all U.S. Navy F-14s now retired, or are there some F-14s that are waiting to be retired and are still on active duty? If so, what squadrons are they in Thanks! -Bret   Answer : Hi Bret, All of the U.S. Navy’s F-14 Tomcats have been retired. The official final flight of the Tomcat was on September 22, 2006 at Naval Air Station Oceana. The actual last flight of the F-14 Tomcat in US service took place October 4, 2006, when an F-14D of VF-31 was ferried from NAS Oceana to Republic Airport on Long Island, NY. The remaining intact F-14 aircraft are preserved at the Davis-Monthan "boneyard". Some of which still remain in War Reserve status ready to be reactivated for service if needed Thanks for asking, EAA Young Eagles   Was this answer useful to you? Back
