      F-14 has two vertical stabilizers too.

      Its the shape of the wings that gives it away. An F-14 with its swing-wings back has the silhouette of a delta wing, and from a distance it might appear like it has no horizontal stabilizers.

      The aircraft in the above photo has horizontal stabilizers that are clearly separate from the fixed wings.
