Here's a place to start, keeping in mind that wiki is notorious for being subject to personal bias.

highly expensive and highly advanced avionics at the time of the A variant...
first use of all titanium wing box...
one dropped in the drink in '75 leading to a mad scramble to raise it before the Soviets...
varying sources state Iran has about 13 operational A's and their inventory of phoenix missiles have been updated with replacement hardware - all remaining F-14A hardware in the US has been/is being destroyed in reaction

Looks like the F-14s aged better than she did. What about the F-14s in Iran, I think they still fly?

Dear god, McGillis took a nose dive in the looks department. She had those awesome legs in the movie though.

IFLABS:
The photo of McGillis is 1-2 years old, so she probably looks even worse now. I read an article which said while filming TOP GUN, McGillis' gal pal was in constant attendance. She also supposedly had an affair with co-star Jodie Foster while filming THE ACCUSED.

I have seen Top Gun a hundred times, does that count for anything?
