They were decommissioned because they were too expensive to maintain but unlike most decommissioned aircraft none of them were sold off. They chopped them all up (except one), and the reason they were all sold off was because they didn't want Iran getting any spare parts for their F-14s.
So the only chance you’ll get of ever seeing an F-14 fly again is if you go to Iran.

The Jolly Roger Squadron F-14 Tomcat,1-18 scale this is a very detailed static display model.Just a little to much money for me,but I'm sure someone will be bidding.

Hey guys, lots of info over on this beautiful bird over here:

I run a board for 1:18 scale stuff and can say the F-14 was a dream come true. My partner is working on a full blown review as we speak.
Cross your fingers for the F-15 Strike Eagle and SU-22 this year.
