First flight of the TF-30 was in 1964 and production continued until 1986.
The F-14A entered service with the U.S. Navy in 1973 powered by Pratt & Whitney TF-30s. By the end of the decade, following numerous problems with the original engine the DoD began procuring the upgraded TF-30-P-414A's. While these engines solved the servicability problems, the fuel consumption and thrust was comparable to the inital model.
