The F-14 Tomcat, introduced in 1974, became an iconic American fighter jet known for its variable-sweep wings and twin engines. It could reach a top speed of Mach 2.34 (about 1,544 mph) at high altitude, making it one of the fastest fighters of its era. The Tomcat was equipped with the powerful AWG-9 radar and could carry up to six AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, capable of engaging multiple targets over 100 miles away. The F-14 played a crucial role in Cold War air superiority and in the Gulf of Sidra incidents, where it shot down Libyan MiGs. "Anytime, Baby!" became the unofficial slogan of Tomcat pilots, as a challenge to the U.S. Air Force F-15 Eagle, and also signifying their readiness to engage in combat at any moment.

Why are the stripes vertical?
Great question - and you're absolutely right that the U.S. flag is usually displayed with horizontal stripes. But in this design, we’ve reimagined the flag as an artistic tribute rather than a literal representation. We chose to depict the flag as if it were hanging vertically from above, similar to how it might appear draped at a hangar entrance or suspended during a ceremony.  This vertical orientation allows the iconic silhouette of the aircraft to really shine -with the red and white stripes running the length of the fuselage, it creates a bold, centred look while still honouring the flag’s spirit and symbolism.

Flex fit , embroidered lettering and good shipping time. That's all you need from a hat and I Love Hangar delivered!
