The “Tomcat” provided an impressive operational performance. Thanks to its two General Electric Afterburning turbofans, it was able to reach a maximum speed of Mach 2.34. It was armed with a 20-mm M61 Vulcan rotating gun, and it could use, in addition to the more conventional AIM-9 Sidewinder and AIM-7 Sparrow, the AIM-54 Phoenix radar-guided long-range missiles. The best pilots of the U.S. Navy Fighter Squadrons took part in combat training courses at the famous Fighter Weapon School, better known as "Top Gun". The F-14 pilots could improve their combat skills and capabilities on the F-14 when confronting the A-4 Skyhawk and F-5 Tiger II used by the school to simulate the flying characteristics of the Soviet Mig.
