Side Note Grumman proposed in 1968/69 the German Government the F-14 as Fighter for Bundesluftwaffe. Even with deal were those F-14 are build in Germany or with german build parts. Why it not happen ? First the F-14 prototype had not flew yet. Second Germany was in European program called Multi-Role Aircraft 75 to replace the F-104 Starfighter. It was original a F-14 like fighter, until Britain join the program and MRA-75 turn into Panavia Tornado. The Bundesluftwaffe bought additional F-4 Phantom as interceptors support the Tornado. and began on Project Taktisches Kampfflugzeug 90 transform to Future European Fighter Aircraft what became the Eurofighter. Now I'm interested, any leads on sources ? Would look good if it had flow with the Lufwaffe.

Did not know that Japan also was a potential buyer of the F-14, it would look verry good a F-14J.
