Description
Ten years ago today, the U.S. Navy retired its last Grumman F-14 Tomcat jet fighter and scrapped most of the planes to deny Iran an adequate supply of spare parts for its air force's Tomcats. One of the survivors is on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. Put on Top Gun, listen to "Highway to the Danger Zone," and tell your friend "I'll be your wingman."
