Mission: To Preserve the History of the Greatest Fighter Jet the United States Navy Has Ever Flown.
The F-14 Tomcat Association
Our primary purpose is to maintain contact among the members of the Tomcat community, keep members informed of developments in Naval Aviation, provide support to museums where F-14s are on display, and sponsor annual reunions of the F-14 family. Membership is open to anyone who has flown, worked on, or just plain love the F-14 aircraft.
This website is dedicated to the aircrews who risked their lives fighting for our freedom, the maintainers in the hangars and shops who kept these jets flying, the managers and support personnel who continually found the funds and supplies needed to hold it all together, and finally, the engineers, scientists, technicians and artisans who designed and built the F-14 and who through the years came up with the improvements to keep it in the air for 36 years.
ALWAYS, BABY ...!
President's Message - Spring/2020
President’s Message – Feb 2019
Dear Tomcat Flyers, Fixers, and Fans,
I hope you are staying safe and well during this trying time. Please read the entire message, but I’ll get straight to the most important topic – Reunion 2020. Your board of directors created a wonderful plan for the 2020 Reunion . . . . . and then COVID-19 hit the stage. Our dates are still on the books for 20-22 August of this year, and you should have received a complete package of information and registration form from Carly Monteith (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). However, as I write this we are evaluating postponing the reunion until April or May of 2021. Given the location near New York City, and the uncertainty over when public events will be allowed and advisable, we will make the final decision on postponement by mid-May and announce that via email, on our web page, on the F-14 Association Facebook page, and through emails from our Reunion Coordinator – “A Complete Reunion.”
To register, please visit:

The flight plan will remain the same regardless of the dates:
