What?

The AIM-120 entered service in 1991. The F-14 was not retired until 2006.

Mea culpa, you are right, I looked at the end of production date, not the end of service date. Well, that’s my mistake for this minute

Tis cool, nobody's prefect.

And throwing back, while the AIM-120 was indeed modified and certified to be used on the Tomcat, the Tomcats were retired when that modification was to enter service. And I just looked again, the information I was using as a source was dated to 2004. So it was accurate, but as the F-14 was about to be retired it was technically obsolete within a year.

During WW2 the FBI would be knocking on the former Seal's door for this kind of propaganda. Today it's part of the culture.
