The only thing I can think of to explain the lad's comments are that he may
have seen some long focal length approach-to-landing video that shows a Turkey
coming in from nearly head on - from that view through a long enough lens, the
F-14 seems to practically hover, then slam onto the deck. Its just a trick of
the eye and the only way to confuse a Turkey with a VTOL a/c.
