Yes, but are any of the F-14’s still flying?

The USA destroyed all of its Tomcats to keep the parts from flowing over there. There are some in museums and on static display.

The one I saw in a museum (video), the cockpit was almost totally stripped.

If you go to Wiki, supposedly Janes has estimates of about 60 F4 Phantoms, 20 F14 Tomcats and maybe 50 Russian fighters with a smattering of Chinese.
