What about the F-14 Tomcat? When was it first interception?

See: http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/j3/john_f_kennedy.htm

It's possible the period was when JFK was homeward bound from the Med
in January 1976.

This part however is interesting:

"The highlight of John F. Kennedy's voyage to Rota occurred on
Independence Day, 4 July 1975, when an E-2C Hummer from VAW-125
detected two Soviet Tu-95 Bear-Ds. They overflew the ship approximately
400 nautical miles west of the coast of Spain. Ironically, with all of
CVW-1's Tomcats temporarily "down" due to engine problems, the
lot of interception fell to Corsairs, two A-7Bs from VA-46 and two from
VA-72 ..."

There's nothing mentioned in Enterprise's O/L expanded DANFS history
indicating any Soviet intercepts by VF-1 or -2 during her 74-75
deployment.
