I love being able to identify variants of the F-14, like I feel like an expert even though I very much am not, for the record. I consider myself more of a knowledgeable enthusiast.
Like this guy? I immediately know it’s an F-14A
And that’s a F-14D Super Tomcat
Probably a F-14B
F-14D again, they’re the easiest to tell head on
F-14A
Also totally an F-14A
That guy right there? F-14D
It’s fun, but tough cause not every aircraft can be identified by a single picture, it depends on the angle. But here’s how you can learn to identify the F-14 Tomcat variants almost instantly. It’s so easy! I promise!
