The real issue is that if these planes are so dangerous then why did we stop
using them? Or, conversly, why are we scared of them? Are a few
operational planes that big of a threat?

Apparently Iran still has quite a few operational F-14s with all the goodies.

It is unlikely that any of Iran's F-14s remained operational for more than
a few months (if at all) after the Grumman crews bugged out.

Forget that one. Bad info. Just got an email from a Navy pal, see my
other post.
