I can't believe I'm 'swooning' over a JET! :: falls over, palm face :: military brat.. suppose if you grow up around jets, you end up loving 'em someway.. heh..I kinda miss the sonic booms and such...
Woocha! I love that shot!
Just as it's breaking the sound barrier...
I don't care if the F-14 IS over 30 years old, it's still potent fighter, eben if they need to be heavily maintained, even if the F-14A wasn't such a great thing to start with because of the engines; but still... Has quite a powerful FCS and a nifty arsenal... ^^ best combo IMO.. AIM-54, AIM-7 and AIM-9.... granted landing on a carrier with 6 AIM-54s 's bad, but meh.... they rarily take on all 6, 4's the norm, but they can take up to 6 if needed, tho they'd have to go with two AIM-9 instead of 4 on the wing pylons...
