The F-14B, an upgraded version of the original F-14A, featured improvements in avionics, radar systems, and overall performance. While not directly involved in conflicts during the NAS Oceana Airshow in 1997, the F-14 Tomcat had seen active duty in conflicts like the Gulf War, where it demonstrated its air-to-air combat capabilities.
