=Mac= Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Coins are jiggling in my piggybank already. You release it, I'll buy it... maybe even twice! My old squadron eventually moved from the F-4Js to Tom Cats. (Yeah, I know, I'm old...) The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

F14s older than the APPLE 1 or the Altair 8800 You can thank the F-14A'ss Mach sweep programmer for giving IBM their plan for the CPU.

=Mac= Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I saw a video that spoke of the Tomcat's huge radar which was one of several attributes that made them so awesome. Swept wings, long legs, two humans, and that radar with multiple target tracking and launching. The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground.
