The only way to see an F-14 in service from now on is a trip to Iran... :eek:

My second fave military jet, closely behind the Sea Harrier.. it's a shame it's being retired, a monstrous but graceful bit of kit

WTH, I never had F14 - my keyboard only goes to F12. I feel robbed, I'm 2 keys short!

Sucha shame thats its been retired

, definitely one of my all time fave fighter planes. I was lucky in that i got to see a few of them at airshows when i was younger and they were simply awesome. The F18 is a capable plane but nothing compared to the delta winged F14.
