I'm told that all the F-14 aircraft are now razor blades.

Its what I have heard as well,
except for the approx- 88 De-milled ones in museums
they don,t want the Iranians to get ANY parts for the Tom-Cat at all so
IIRC: even those have been stripped of any useable parts..

We have one of the 88 at Seattle's Museum of Flight. Repainted by the
museum; not sure it ever wore this scheme in real life, it was in the
barfy 'tactical gray' scheme when it arrived.
