The F-14A Tomcat made history during Operation Frequent Wind in April 1975. As part of the VF-1 Wolfpack Squadron, stationed on the USS Enterprise, it secured the evacuation of Saigon. The aircraft depicted here contributed significantly to the success of this largest military rescue operation. With its superior radar system and characteristic swing wings, the Tomcat revolutionized maritime air defense and shaped the image of the US Navy for over three decades.
