The F-14 was a fantastic airplane. My favorite of all time (except for MAYBE the A-10, F-4, or the spitfire).
Unfortunately, it was too expensive to maintain and didnt perform a role that couldn't be performed by more advanced multi-role fighters (e.g. the F-16 and F-18) at the point it was retired. Similar to the A-10, really, in that the F-35 will likely take it's place.
