A F-14A Tomcat from VF-154 Taking off in full afterburner.

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat was initially fielded with the TF30-P-414A turbofan engine as the F-14A. This engine was carried-over from the US Navy's failed F-111B project.

I had to do some minor editing and touching up using GIMP, mainly to get the heat blur and vapor effects I wanted. The background airfield is supposed to represent NAF Atsugi Japan.
