Developed for use with the U.S. Navy, it became the backbone of the carrier aircraft, quick response fleet for over two decades. The aircraft still remains in service with the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force, the only foreign operator of the type. The aircraft is most notable for its appearance in Top Gun, a film based an elite fighter pilot school which operates the F-14.
