The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a Cold War icon and a naval aviation legend. Developed for the U.S. Navy as an air superiority fighter and long-range interceptor, the F-14 was designed to protect the fleet against threats over 90 miles away. Its most distinctive feature, its variable-geometry wings, enabled exceptional flight performance at all speeds, making it one of the most formidable and recognizable aircraft of its era.

VF-33 is a squadron with a long and distinguished combat history. Veterans of the Korean War and Vietnam War, where they achieved the first air-to-air victory over a MiG-21 for an East Coast squadron, the "Tarsiers" (their original name) transitioned to the F-14A Tomcat in 1981, adopting the name "Starfighters." With the Tomcat, they participated in critical operations against Libya in the Gulf of Sidra and later flew air cover missions during Operation Desert Storm aboard the USS America. The squadron still holds the F-14 community record of 895 continuous sorties without a single abort, a testament to their excellence.

This exclusive artwork by Alexandre Guedes depicts the F-14A Tomcat, Bureau Number 162698, with the tail code AB-200. The code "200" identifies this aircraft as the "CAG bird," the personal aircraft of the Commander, Air Group, which traditionally displayed the squadron's most colorful and distinctive markings. This piece is a faithful record not only of a veteran combat squadron, but of its most distinguished aircraft.
