The F-14 was never intended as a bomber. It was a long-range interceptor, designed to defend carrier battle groups from Soviet bombers equipped with long-range anti-ship missiles.

True, that wouldn't have made it ideal for dogfighting, but with it's excellent radar and Phoenix missiles it could engage multiple MiG targets from well outside their range.

tl;dr would still have beaten the MiGs, but in a more direct and less exciting way.

And while my anorak is still on...
from my sketchy recollection of the film, they weren't even MiGs, they were actually Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighters with red stars on.

Wikipedia says yes and they were pretending to be Mig-28s

Which of course don't exist IRL.
MiGs never had even numbers - 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31 etc.

They are referred to as migs
'The aircraft used for the fictional MiG-29s are Northrop F-5E'
