MNA – Experts and technical staff at Shahid Babaei Airbase in Isfahan province have overhauled a grounded F-14 Tomcat fighter.







According to Army’s Public Relations Department on Tuesday, experts and technical staff at Shahid Babaei Airbase in Isfahan have overhauled an F-14 Tomcat fighter, which had been grounded for several years.

The overhaul process took 35,000 man-hours to make the F-14 fighter jet fit to return to the operational phase.

The overhauled fighter was successfully ran through a test flight, and joined the operational fleet of the Army’s air force.
