Default The F14 vs what we are doing now

"Typhoon502" wrote in message
ups.com...
The only heritage that the F-111B really passed along to the F-14

was
the AWG-9 radar and the design spec to carry Phoenix. The airframes
have no commonality, other than they're both swing-wing and
twin-engine. For some of the F-14 run, it used the same engines as

the
F-111 but that diverged as well.

SLAMRAAM = surface-launched AMRAAM.


The warning tone one's ECM suite gives as one is targeted with this
system is, of course... wait for it... "the SLAMaRAAMa ding-dong."
