The Tomcat is such a great plane...
I think it holds the record as the longest serving fighter aircraft in the US Military...
Just as I'm pretty sure the A-6 Intruder holds the record for the longest serving Attack aircraft too. Not sure if its Electronic Warfare configuration (The Prowler) or its Aerial Refueling configuration are still in use or not, but I think so... We don't use it as a attack craft (what they call fighter sized Navy Bombers these days) anymore, since we use the F/A-18 Hornet and SuperHornet in that role now. But yeah...
Both the F-14 and A-6 are great aircraft and very long serving regardless
