Funny, the F-14 had range AND a gun... Too bad SECDEF was a douche.. :: steps off the F-14 turtledeck::

I use the snap view for 'snap looks', if i'm tracking something, I'll padlock it, and if it's a/a, I totally cheat and use the shift F8 view.

Found this in the local ops room this year:

Well, if that was the case, then the politicians should be ousted out of office for buying shoddy equipment and wasting the people's money! Funny, I don't see A-10's falling apart, and I seem to remember that they have a gun...

Glad to help! I use the pan when I'm concentrating in the cockpit, mostly while in transit or IMC.

For years I've been trying to figure what model a/c this is. If anyone can get me info on it, it'd be greatly appreciated! I've tried google, my books, etc. The best guess I can make is that it was an unsuccessful contender for the USAF's 1982 Next Generation Trainer program.

We've got a winner! Thanks!

0:23 -> electrical power from either a GPU or plugs from the ramp. Airstart hoses look like this: Fueling hoses look like this: Hope the info helps!

Nice pics, thanks for sharing!

Excellent! Just out of morbid 'rivet counter' curiosity, does the armament selector switch on the joystick move when you go through the different A/A weapons? Just wondering! :: runs away fast, and runs far away!!!::

RIP

Wendy's, and Panera if you can count that. I'll need to go there when I'm out there :)

Happy birthday!

Excellent work! Thank you very much! Side note, forgot about the Quail!

Saw that on the F-14 Assoc forum. Good stuff.

Nice bar Mako.. see you've even got the Sam's on tap!

JM, I'm with you on waiting for reviews. It would be nice to get a set of pedals though... never used 'em.

WOE should have the AIM-7... Make sure you're trying to load it on the correct weapons station. :)

Guys, the debate, discussion, exchange of opinions, whatever you want to call it is over. In the words of De Niro in 'Heat'.. "Walk away."

Will this muzzle do? I'm all for freedom of speech and freedom of press, but sometimes there's a need to STFU.

Kabooom???
