F-14 Tomcat out of service?

[ignacioc91 101]

Hi!!! I heard that both the F-14 Tomcats and AIM-54 Phoenix missiles are out of service in the US Navy. Is that so?? I am not sure, so I ask you guys!

 

By the way, does someone know what does AIM stand for in AIM-9 Sidewinder, AIM-7 Sparrow, etc.???

 

Thanks!!

Yes F-14 has been out of USA service since 2006. Iran still flies them

 

AIM-54 retired in 2004, Iran still use them too

 

AIM stand for Airborne Intercept Missile
