The Grumman F-14A Tomcat is the definition of naval air power. Immortalized in pop culture and feared by adversaries, this air superiority fighter was the mainstay of the US Navy's defense for over three decades. With its unmistakable variable-geometry silhouette, the Tomcat could intercept Soviet bombers at long range using the powerful AWG-9 radar and AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, or engage in close-quarters dogfights with surprising maneuverability for its size. It is a machine that exudes brute force and aerodynamic sophistication.

"Fighting 31". The VF-31 Tomcatters Squadron holds a unique distinction: it is the second oldest fighter squadron in the US Navy in continuous operation. Sporting the famous mascot "Felix the Cat" with his lit bomb fuse, VF-31 has a rich history spanning several wars. The combination of the squadron's name ("Tomcatters") operating the "Tomcat" aircraft created a legendary synergy. They were one of the last squadrons to fly the F-14, ending a golden age with honor and distinction.

This exclusive illustration by Alexandre Guedes captures the F-14A BuNo 161858, Modex AE-202. The artwork highlights the vibrant markings of VF-31, with the iconic Felix the Cat proudly emblazoned on the twin vertical tail. Every detail has been recreated with technical precision: from the natural aging of the paint on the fuselage exposed to the saline environment of the aircraft carrier, to the details of the TF30 engine exhaust nozzles and the complex landing gear system. It's a visual tribute to the era when fighter jets boasted vibrant colors and a distinct personality.
