The F14 vs what we are doing now

The History Channel recently had a piece on the F14. I did not realize that plane came out of the F111 program. Nor that it could track 24 enemy targets, engaging up to 6 at a time (and at long range). Cynically wouldn't it be more correct to say that the US Navy would have done anything to avoid buying the F-111B? They essentially optioned it to death and then provide their own custom designed replacement. Scott Peterson -- At least I have a positive attitude about my destructive habits. (147/689)
