Since you're ALWAYS right, I hate to tell you this, but f-14's have been out of the fleet and basically gounded for about 4 months. But, if you say you saw one, then

Maybe he was buzzed by an Iranian f-14. Did you think of that? :yuk:

ahhhh, nice to see you back.

I knew someone was still running the f-14 because I just heard about the f-14 retirement a couple of months ago. I had to look it up again to see who still has them.
The Wikipedia says they were replaced with f/a-18e/f. Doesn't the f-18 have much less payload for armaments? I thought the newest version of the f-14 was the most powerful fighter in the inventory.
Any idea why the change?
