Newsflash, we don't have enough F-15s and
just how many F-22s do you think
are in the active duty inventory? We could
have used the F-14 during
Vietnam but didn't.
FYI the F-14 was not considered ready until 1974. VF-1 and VF-2 made the
first cruise on USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) in 1975. They did participate in
Operation FREQUENT WIND on 28-29 Apr 1975 covering the evacuation. Several
were fired on by NVA triple-A but no damage or loss of aircraft. And no MiGs
came to disrupt the evac.
The ship had moved on to the IO when USS Coral Sea (CVA-43) covered the Mayaguez
rescue in May.
