This Tomcat on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center of the National Air and Space Museum was built as an F-14A but was one of 18 upgraded to Super Tomcat D-configuration in the early 1990s, designated F-14D(R) for rebuild. This aircraft flying CAP with VF-32 from the USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) is credited with one MiG-23 Flogger kill which was earned on 4th January, 1989 off the coast of Libya.
