Scale: 1:175 Length: 4.25" Width: 4.5" (wingspan) US Navy Fighter Squadron 84 (VF-84) Jolly Rogers was established on July 1st, 1955. three US Navy squadron have used the name and insignia of the Jolly roger: VF-61 (originally VF-17), VF-84, and VFA-103. while these are distinctly different squadrons that have no lineal linkage, they all share the same Jolly rogers name, the skull and crossbones insignia and traditions. VF-84 adopted the name in 1960 while operating the FJ-3 Fury. The squadron transitioned through the F-8 Crusader and F-4 Phantom II before upgrading to the F-14A Tomcat in 1976. VF-84 deployed several times aboard the USS Nimitz and USS Theodore Roosevelt before being disestablished on October 1st, 1995, and handing over the Jolly rogers title to VF-103. Grumman F-14A Designed to carry the formidable long range AIM-54 Phoenix missile, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat was first flown on December 21st, 1970. Made famous by the Hollywood film Top Gun, the F-14 replaced the F-4 Phantom II as the US Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter. Its design includes a variable geometry wing that can sweep back for high speed supersonic intercepts and forward for improved positioning in air to air dogfights. Nicknamed "Bombcat," the F-14 spent much of its late career in an air-to-ground role, carrying the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) system.
