Background:
The F-14 received its first of many major upgrades in March 1987 with the F-14A
Plus (or F-14A+). The F-14A's TF30 engine was replaced with the improved
F110-GE-400 engine. The F-14A+ also received the state-of-the-art ALR-67 Radar
Homing and Warning (RHAW) system. Many of the avionics components, as well as
the AWG-9 radar, were retained. The F-14A+ was later redesignated F-14B on 1
May 1991. A total of 38 new aircraft were manufactured and 43 F-14A were
upgraded into B variants. In the late 1990s, 81 F-14Bs were upgraded to extend
airframe life and improve offensive and defensive avionics systems. The
modified aircraft became known as F-14B (Upgrade).
Strike Fighter Squadron 101 (VFA-101), also known as the "Grim
Reapers", was a United States Navy Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) based
at Eglin AFB, Florida. After the West Coast FRS for the F-14 Tomcat, VF-124,
was disestablished in the mid-1990s, VF-101 became the sole F-14 FRS. At the
time it was based at NAS Oceana in Virginia. With the retirement of the F-14,
VF-101 was deactivated in 2005.
