Maiden flight 21 December 1970
The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable geometry wing aircraft. The F-14 was the United States Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor and tactical reconnaissance platform from 1972 to 2006. It later performed precision strike missions once it was integrated with LANTIRN.[2] It was developed after the collapse of the F-111B project, and was the first of the American teen-series fighters which were designed incorporating the experience of air combat in Vietnam against MiGs.
It entered service in 1972 with the U.S. Navy, replacing the F-4 Phantom II. It was later exported to the Imperial Iranian Air Force in 1976. It was retired from the U.S. Navy fleet on 22 September 2006, having been replaced by the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.[3] As of 2007, it remains in service only with the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force.
These dates for “Top Gun” reflects the love interest of “Maverick” to my real birthday and then in comparison to the birthdates for the actress that portrayed “Goose’s” wife with the birth date of Phoebe. There are probably little details Phoebe will pick up on too, if she knows now what to look for. For example, I wonder about the brown leather jacket "Charlie" wears that seems to have a U.S. Navy officer's crest on the collar as well as some form of pilots wings. I wonder if Phoebe wore one of my jackets like that.

Top Gun (1986)
Release Date: 16 May 1986 (USA)
This is similar to other clues I have found from 1986, such as "Heartbreak Ridge." In the 1986 movie "Top Gun," the character Tom Cruise portrays tell his girlfriend that his father had been shot down on 11/5/1965. I recognize the date 2/14/1986 as when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire somewhere in Africa and was a Prisoner of War in Libya. The date 10/25/1983 was the invasion of Grenada and I have written about my thoughts that I survived the bombing of U.S. Marines barracks in Beirut a couple days earlier. The thinking back then might have been that the enemy tried to assassinate me so I wouldn't be there for the invasion. There is also the thoughts I have suggesting that any attack on me was considered a pre-cursor to war. Other thoughts suggest that my wife was in danger, too, just because she was married to an officer of the U.S. military.

The Invasion of Grenada, codenamed Operation Urgent Fury, was an invasion of the island nation of Grenada by the United States of America and several other nations in response to a coup d’état by Deputy Prime Minister Bernard Coard. From October 25, 1983, the United States, Barbados, Jamaica and members of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States landed ships on Grenada, defeated Grenadian and Cuban resistance and overthrew Coard's government. October 25 is a national holiday of Grenada, called Thanksgiving Day, to commemorate this event.
