Dang, that is painful to watch.

I sure hope they keep a few of them around for private collections. It sure
is nice to be able to see a F-4 at an air show, and the private owners are
the only way to make that happen.

I hope that my grandkids can see a F-14 flying, in 15 years, but if they
crunch them all up, that won't happen.

I realize there is concern about them falling into enemy hands. Couldn't
they just put a self destruct on them, so they could blow them up if the
enemy got ahold of one? g
