A rare guest visiting Austria. This F-14B 'Tomcat' from Fighter Squadron VF-103 "Jolly Rogers", from CVN-69 (USS Dwight D. Eisenhower), was one of the highlights in the static display at the Graz Airshow 1998. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower was deployed to the coast of Yugoslavia at this time as part of NATO operations in Kosovo. This F-14 was scrapped in March 2008.

This once F-14A-120-GR was delivered to the US Navy as AD-167 with VF-101 in 1987. Before its conversion to F-14B(U) in the late 1990s, this Tomcat flew with squadrons like VF-74 (see here), VF-101 and VF-102. The Cat was then transferred to VF-103 where it flew from July 1998 as AA-103, AA-110 before it was stored at Davis Monthan's AMARC with inventory code 1K0173 from 26 January 2005. The Cat was unfortunately scrapped in March 2008

Fighter Squadron (VF) 74 "Be-Devilers" was established on 16 April 1944 (as VBF-20) and disestablished 50 years later on 30 April 1994. It started to operate with the F4U Corsair, and these were followed by the F6F Hellcat, F8F Bearcat, F9F-8 Cougar, F4D-1 Skyray, F-4B Phantom II, F-4J, F-4S before transitioning in 1983 to the F-14A Tomcat and, from August 1988 this F-14B. With the Tomcat, the squadron was heavily involved in combat operations in Operation El Dorado Canyon (Libya, 1986), Operation Desert Shield (Iraq, 1990) and subsequently Operation Desert Storm (Iraq, 1991).
