"The what" is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable geometry wing aircraft. The Blank was the United States Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor and tactical reconnaissance platform from 1974 to 2006. It later performed precision strike missions once it was integrated with the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night LANTIRN system.[2] The F-14 was developed after the collapse of the F-111B project, and was the first of the American teen-series fighters which were designed incorporating the experience of air combat in Vietnam against MiGs.

My high school to junior year college boyfriend's father was an ex-Navy pilot who worked for Grumman as a liaison with the Navy.  Tom's family moved from Long Island (Grumman's hq) to Virginia Beach, VA to Olympia, Washington to San Diego as the F-14 was delivered to carriers home-ported in all of those places.  I remember this well because I went to visit with the family in each of those places.
