He did an interview with the history channel about the event, said the fuel and smoke pouring from the tank obscured his view and he was unaware until he got out of the jet and the ground crew was in disbelief.Originally posted by majorownage View PostOh he knew, he was going to eject, but the he realised his plane was still flying. The F15 was the first fighter with adaptive methods for lost surfaces.

Trust me I know. I have to listen to the damn Blue Angels practice every morning. It was cool the first time, but not since. I'd rather listen to the T-6s or the T-1s going to the break right over my house every day.Originally posted by akfodysvn View Postnothing worse than listening to F15's all day on kadena... loses the wow factor in a month or 2. Just like the B1's...
Yea when they plug in the burners they move, feels like a small child sitting on your chest lol!Originally posted by shumpertdavid View PostCan't imagine the rush of taking off in one of those. Just the first minute gave me goosebumps. Afterburner has to be like the ultimate shot of nitrous.

Performance wise no way. I know f-15 is a better platform. I just like the way the F-14 looks. No, Top Gun did not have any factor in it...Originally posted by bottlerocket View PostYou prefer the 14 to the 15? Talk about rooting for the underdogSome cars and a bike...
Some say... they have been raced, some a lot

The F14 is truly an Iconic plane. Each era has a plane that represents it.
P51, F4U, F86, F4, F14, F16, etc.

Would be cool though if they could figure out how to strap those ole Pheonix's underneath with full RADAR... " 100 miles out and a threat? Sorry bout your luck fecker"Originally posted by Gargamel View PostI got ya beat...
