Take a selfie or fun photos with the F-14 Tomcat during your next visit to the air museum. | Palm Springs Air Museum | Facebook

The F-14 Tomcat (S/N 160694) sitting on the deck of the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi, TX is one of a valiant few that was used in the 1986 Blockbuster Movie, "Top Gun". The museum has been working to restore this F-14 to a VF-84 "Jolly Rogers" paint scheme and protect it before the elements deteriorate this aircraft movie star. Thanks to the USS Lexington Museum Staff and to Matthew Lawlor for many technical insights! Video by: Aces In Action - Craig Tinder | Grumman F-14 Tomcat
