I flew an exercise in Egypt, we had nearly perfect GCI, in the F-14, 4 of
us,
with working radars. The Egyptians put up 80 Mig 21s..I'll bet you can

predict
what happened.


Hmmm, four Tomcat pilots...I'll predict that when they landed they said
the score was 80 - 0 . How did they get so many planes in the air at the
same time? I would imagine managing airspace would get very tricky about
then!
On a related note, have you read (and have an opinion on) Tom Cooper's
book about the -14 in Iranian service? Lots of Tomcat a-a engagements there
that you don't find in other sources.
