-description:
-  "The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a two-crew, variable wing-geometry, maritime\
-  \ air superiority fighter that served with the US Navy for 32 years and continues\
-  \ to serve with the IRIAF in Iran. The F-14 was the US Navy's frontline fighter\
-  \ from the 1970s to the mid-2000s. Over the course of its long service it also became\
-  \ the US Navy\u2019s lone airborne reconnaissance asset.\n\n\
-  \ Noteworthy features of the Tomcat are its swing-wing\
-  \ configuration, two-man crew, and the powerful AN/AWG-9 Weapons Control System\
-  \ (WCS) and radar. The AWG-9 allows employment of the long-range AIM-54 Phoenix\
-  \ air-to-air missile. The F-14 Tomcat was present in several historic events\
-  \ that include the two Gulf of Sidra incidents, Operations Desert Storm Iraqi Freedom,\
-  \ the Yugoslavian conflict, and Operation Enduring Freedom over Afghanistan. It\
-  \ was also immortalized in the iconic motion picture, Top Gun, and starred in several\
-  \ other feature films including The Final Countdown, Executive Decision, and others.\n\
-  \nThe Tomcat was also played a vital role in the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, where\
-  \ is flew for the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force."
