Did you know the Iranians are the last ones to have the F-14 Tomcat in their Airforce?
You have all seen the first Top Gun movie in which Tom Cruise fights off the bad guys in his Grumman F-14 Tomcat. Sadly the US retired the F-14 in 2006. Except for the ones in Iran. So in order to bring her back in the last Top Gun movie, they used visual effects for the flying scenes. The one used in the hangar shot was a museum piece borrowed from a museum in California. They restored enough of the hydraulic system to be able to raise and lower the canopy but had to tow it to show it "taxiing," as it didn't have any engines. They definitely made it work!
Now you know! Like and follow for more aviation facts every day.
