Hey Bman, how long has it been since you flew an F14(seriously)? I have a friend who flies for United(yeah another friend of a friend of a friend story!), he flies with a Navy reserve pilot that told him the F14 has now been limited to +4g Max., due to stress cracks found in the wing pivot points during NDT. If that's the case, Blades dogfighter argument sort of loses it's punch. Although I watched the F14 Demo all three days at the FLL airshow this year, and I think that particular pilot must have left his Natops in the Ready Room and put all of his faith in the ejection seat! Whoever is right in this argument (if there is such a thing) one thing is for sure, it's THE most awe-inspiring aircraft to watch at an airshow. The flying equivalent to a TopFueler/F1
Car with a tank turret mounted on it.
