If the movie's set in the present day or near future, they'll have to
use the Hornet, Super Hornet or maybe the JSF, since the
F-14s are gone (except for a few in Iran).

Which is too bad, because Tomcats rule!:

Note: I know the above video is just CGI, but watching the
cannon-firing scenes made me wonder if the F-14 ever
had gun-gas ingestion problems in the left engine when
the Vulcan cannon was fired?
