The F-14 Tomcat was a carrier-based two-seat aircraft developed by Northrop Grumman to replace the F-4 Phantom fighter and entered service in 1972.

Catseye night-vision goggles have been installed in the F-14 since 1996 and are supplied by BAE Systems. The F-14D front cockpit is equipped with a head-up display and two multifunction flat-screen displays. The rear cockpit for the radar intercept officer is equipped with a display that presents fused data from the AN/APG-71 radar and from the suite of aircraft sensors.

The airframe that reached such a top milestone was a Grumman F-14D and it was last but one Tomcat (or Super Tomcat, as the D version was also known) built.
