Today we’re talking about the last Tomcats on Earth - Iran’s F-14s. Iran acquired them during a period of the Cold War when the US and Iran were aligned against the Soviet Union. After the Islamic Revolution American support was withdrawn and Iran was on her own to keep the planes flying without spare parts and tech support. This is a story of aviation history, espionage, Iran’s military and middle eastern conflict all in one.
