Opportunity to Give: Help Preserve the Legendary F-14 Tomcat

back to articles

The F-14 Tomcat isn’t just an aircraft—it’s an American icon. From its debut at Naval Air Station Miramar here in San Diego in 1974, to its starring role in Top Gun, the Tomcat captured the imagination of millions and represented the very best of aviation technology. With its variable-sweep wings, powerful twin engines, and unmatched air-to-air capabilities, the Tomcat protected our nation for more than three decades and became a symbol of innovation, strength, and pride.

Now, the San Diego Air & Space Museum has the extraordinary opportunity to preserve this piece of history for future generations. But we can’t do it alone.

Your gift today will help us restore, display, and share the story of the Tomcat—ensuring that children, families, and aviation enthusiasts alike can stand in awe of this remarkable aircraft for years to come.

Join us in honoring the legacy of the Tomcat. Together, we can keep its story alive.
