## Cockpit

The **F/D-14** is a swing-wing interceptor.

It is one of the aircraft used by Monarch, leader of Sicario's Hitman Team.

## Gameplay

The F/D-14 is fast and has decent maneuverability. It can carry six hardpoints' worth of Multi-Lock Anti-Air Missiles, backed by abundant ammo reserves (108 if all three slots are used).

While classified as an interceptor, the F/D-14 can fill two of its slots with bombs and the third with High Velocity Standard Missiles or High Impact Standard Missiles, should the player deem it appropriate.

## Skins

1. Three-tone gray and white woodland camouflage with black nose and light grey underbelly, mercenary and Monarch markings.
2. Two-tone blue version of Skin 01 with white nose. Federation Navy markings. Seen throughout the campaign.
3. Dark green fuselage with worn out paint and white nose, Cascadian Independence Force markings. Seen throughout the campaign.

## History

F/D-14s are the main staple of aircraft carriers in major military powers, to the point they are replenished upon every loss.

Monarch and one other Sicario pilot used the F/D-14 during the *Meilynx* Incident. As well during the Cascadian Conflict, both the CIF and the Federation used F/D-14s in heavy measure in Operations Red Coast, Guillotine, and Anticipation, all of which incurred high casualties on both sides.

Master Goose Squadron, before and during the civil war, used F/D-14s as their main arsenal before defecting and upgrading to F/S-15s after deciding to betray the CIF. F/D-14s and their pilots were stationed at Wensleydale Range and the Solana Communications Array during the conflict, and were used to escort the Federation air train, eight of them.

The Federation used F/D-14s sparingly during the later stages of the war, in four and two-plane flights at Brite Fortress and the Prospero ruins. A dozen-strong mercenary flight of them were among Sicario Commander Arnold Frenken's reinforcements in Operation Welder, and took part in the Second Battle of Presidia.

## Trivia

* A squadron of eight Federation F/D-14s can be seen flying in formation in the main menu.
* The F/D-14's name in the game files was "Giant Cat".
* Skin 2 bears a loose resemblance to the blue splinter camouflage seen on the NSAWC F-14A No. 20, which is often seen applied to generic enemy F-14Ds in *Ace Combat*.
