Default One more confirmation

:-( I've had to pull my leg of the trip to Seattle. Wont be able to fit in
everything I want to do.
although, if the snow keeps falling, I may not be able to drive from Wyoming
to Masachusettes so may have to look at doing Seattle :-)

But I really want to do the drive across the top.

I'm told that all the F-14 aircraft are now razor blades.
That from a very reliable source.




Its what I have heard as well,
except for the approx- 88 De-milled ones in museums
they don,t want the Iranians to get ANY parts for the Tom-Cat at all so
IIRC: even those have been stripped of any useable parts..

We have one of the 88 at Seattle's Museum of Flight. Repainted by the
museum; not sure it ever wore this scheme in real life, it was in the
barfy 'tactical gray' scheme when it arrived.
