FoxTwo Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 I don't remember ever seeing an F-14 flying with bags until well into the 80s, are we going to have the option to finally remove the pylon from the model with the F-14A release? Thanks. 1
BreaKKer Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Pretty sure the F-14A 95-GR will be the only one without fuel tank pylons BreaKKer CAG and Commanding Officer of: Carrier Air Wing Five // VF-154 Black Knights
FoxTwo Posted November 13, 2020 Author Posted November 13, 2020 Pretty sure the F-14A 95-GR will be the only one without fuel tank pylons Why, though? It's not like they didn't fly without bags/pylons. If they're removable from the model for any version, they really need to be for all? 1

Swordsman422 Posted November 14, 2020 Posted November 14, 2020 The F-14 fuel pylons on all models were not permanent and could be removed. By the 1980s it became fairly uncommon for deployed USN F-14s to fly without the external tanks.

LanceCriminal86 Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 So the Sparrowhawk upgrade seems to have happened in parallel with the other -B upgrades such as PTID. First Sparrowhawk and updated VDI flew in 99 and process completed in 2003. So which Bs specifically did have the HUD and didn't get the rest of the -B Upgrade stuff? Got actual BuNOs and data on those or are we just guessing? Because the previous posts and discussions on the F-14B Upgrade programs, aka OFP 317, OFP 320, and OFP 321 seem to indicate that the BUS upgrades included the PTIDs on the first upgrade path (317) testing completed in 1997 and was then pushed to the fleet. Sparrowhawk apparently came from somewhere between 99-2003. And in there as well were the 320 and 321 that added GPS, updated the INS, and added JDAM. All those things are where the documentation is missing for the -B Upgrade, Same story for the -D, and why HB aren't doing the -B Upgrade at all at this point. It doesn't seem too much like you can cherry pick just the HUD but not have PTID and the other upgrades. Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™ VF-11 and VF-31 1988 [WIP] VF-201 & VF-202 [WIP]
