The remaining intact US Navy F-14 aircraft have been stored at the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group "Boneyard", at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona.
By July 2007, many of the remaining 165 aircraft were being shredded to prevent parts from being acquired by Iran, the only other nation to buy the F-14. By July 2007, 23 F-14s had been shredded at a cost of $900,000.
Due to the strength of the landing gear, it was removed before shredding and cut up with a torch.
The last remaining F-14 after demolition will be located at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida.
Sorry but I've to say it... F*******

It breaks my heart...

"August 7, 2009 309 AMARG
— Lt. Col. Theodore A. Coiner
Last of the Navy’s F-14 Tomcats head for shredder; 11 remain in desert

A local recycling contractor, HVF-West, recently removed 20 F-14 Tomcats from storage at 309 AMARG, leaving 11 F-14 airframes remaining in storage. These
F-14s, once the Navy’s primary air superiority fi ghter, interceptor and reconnaissance platform, retired from the active U.S. Navy fl eet in 2006 were shredded at the
direction of the Navy’s Inventory Control Point."
