The first 2
of 79 Grumman F-14 Tomcats were delivered to Iran in January 1976. Along with
the aircraft Iran also
received 284 AIM-54A Phoenix missiles. In 1980 an eight year war broke out between Iraq and Iran where the
F-14s played a major role in Iran winning the air war.
Iran’s top F-14
pilot scored 11 victories. Later in an effort to extend the life of the F-14s the aircraft underwent a modernization
program (MA) and 3-6049 / 160347 (cn H-49) was the first aircraft to receive
the improvements.
