Anyone know of the Tomcat being used in the role of a tanker; especially
during the current period? Can the F-14 pass gas? Thanks

If true, can anyone say, "Tankcat?" g

"They had a profile of John Kerry on the news and they said his first wife
was worth around $300 million and his second wife, his current wife, is
worth around $700 million. His intern (with whom he supposedly had an
affair) was worth several more million. So when John Kerry says he's going
after the wealthy in this country, he's not just talking. He's doing it!"

Can anyone address this:

Defense News on 28 June had this snip: "With F-14s as the only other
carrier-based aircraft flying tanker duties, ..."

It was in reference to the S-3 being retired and the F/A-18F [doesn't
mention
the -18E g] having the ability to act as a tanker.
