Top Gun down

I wonder if any Iranian Tomcats are still combat-worthy?

There will be no more dogfights for the F-14 Tomcat.

The [US] Navy's last two F-14 squadrons came home on Friday, ending the final combat deployment of the cold war-era, two-seater fighter jet with moveable, swept-back wings that was glamorized in the 1986 movie "Top Gun."

All 22 Tomcats of Fighter Squadrons VF-213 and VF-31 soared together in a wedge formation over the Oceana Naval Air Station as a crowd of hundreds cheered...

The Navy is replacing the aging F-14's with the F/A-18 Super Hornets, in part because Super Hornets are easier to maintain, said Chief Petty Officer Blane Fike, a member of the crew that maintains the F-14's of Squadron VF-31. The Tomcat requires 50 to 60 maintenance hours for every hour it flies, while the Super Hornet needs 10 to 15 maintenance hours per flight hour, he said...(Canadian Sea Kings and Hercs?)

The pilots of VF-213, called Blacklions, will begin the transition to Super Hornets almost immediately. The Tomcatters of VF-31 will continue flying F-14's until September, then begin switching to Super Hornets in October. Until then, the F-14's of VF-31 will remain operational and could be recalled to duty if necessary...
