The Tomcat Legacy; 35+ years from Fleet Air Defender to Recce to Precision Strike

many tomcat threads, content-less responses, beating of dead horses. Glad my thread is going in the right direction..excellent! Does anyone know what song is in the video? great track.
 
Iranian Tomcats on Google Earth

Did a search and couldn't find this posted before; one in the top left and one in the bottom right.
 
If it's on Google, I'd imagine other people have known about their location for a while, but still, I would guess that Tehran isn't too happy.
 
Why? Were they hoping that we forgot about selling them 30 years ago?
Of course not, I was just saying, if I was in Tehran, I wouldn't want the public to know where my best fighters(I'm not sure that 30+ year old F-14A's are the best Iran has, but they're better than the average fighter Iran has) were being kept.
 
Are the planes even flight worthy?

I would venture a guess and say, not many, if any at all. There have been some recent articles posted here about various individuals trying to buy decommed F-14 parts, so maybe Iran is trying to keep the program going.

I just can't see the value in trying to keep a platform like that flying when they have fairly ready access to much more modern aircraft made by the likes of Russia and China.
