Rumors abound that PCAM’s Tomcat participated in filming the 1986 blockbuster movie “Top Gun” starring Tom Cruise. These rumors are incorrect. Our F-14 Tomcat (160889) assigned to VF-24 on board the USS Kitty Hawk for a Western Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean cruise while the movie was being made. This aircraft served long an honorably and its record needs no Hollywood embellishments.
