F-14B Tomcat VF-103 "Jolly Rogers" 1:72 Model

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a twin-engine variable sweep wing aircraft capable of supersonic flight. The aircraft is crewed by a Pilot and a Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) who share the tasks of navigation, target acquisition, ECM, and weapons use. The Tomcat was only operated by the United States Navy and the Republic of Iran Air Force. The name “Tomcat” is said to come from the call-sign used by Vice Admiral Thomas Connolly, which conformed to the U.S Navy tradition of giving Grumman aircraft feline names.

This model represents a Tomcat assigned to VF-103. This squadron can trace its roots back to WWII, when as VF-17 they flew the F4U Corsair and adopted the nickname, "Jolly Rogers."
