F-14: The 1970's Perspective

I try to get some insight in the envisioned career of the F-14 at the beginning of its service life. The TF-30 engines were due to be replaced and following variants (B and C) were due to follow in considerable numbers. Also did the Navy think that the USAF might adopt the aircraft. Does anybody have background infos about this and can possibly timeline it with other programs (like F-15, F-16, F-18 and F-4M).

This is a rather low quality impression of the LTV contender for the USAF LWF-competition. It was intented to serve as USN-aircraft, too.[ATTACH]150833[/ATTACH]

@moderators:
I like to have this topic in Modern Military Aviation as it fits the usual discussion and might be misplaced in historic forum.
