First, how can you get so many incorrect information in one shot??

The aircraft you are flying (the figther) is a F-14B Tomcat, and NOT an F-15..

The aircraft you are flying besides, is a De havilland Dash
8-100, NOT a Otter.. (a Otter only has one engine..)

And neither of these aircrafts flew before the 70's!

Dude...you can appreciate the picture you know? Roll Eyes

I think he might've meant the De Havilland Twin Otter...It's easy to get mixed up...nobody's perfect...

I like it...simple and nice 8)

well, the corrector has now been corrected.

The F-14, if my information is correct, flew at least before or during 1969, that was when the figther weapons school (or as the flyers called it TOP GUN) was established, and they flew the F-14s there.

Sorry i had to say that as you were being rather harsh about chris' information. Grin

Nope, you're wrong also.. Grin

F-14: Initial operational capability in 1973; first flight on 21 December 1970.

Yeah, Top Gun was created in 1969, but the F-14 was not their first aircraft.

Even if you had only seen the movie, you would know that they first flew F-4s. Thats because it was during the Vietnam Era, and we needed our KDR better than 2:1
