The Maverick is back after a long span of 36 years and so has been his need for speed. However, he has been missing his old steed, the formidable F-14 Tomcat and its unmatched capabilities with its Mach 2.34 top speed, complex variable sweep wing system and the powerful APG-9 radar capable of tracking & engaging multiple targets from beyond-visual-ranges with its lethal AIM-54 Phoenix missiles.
