kboatright- How does the range of the F-18 E/F compare with the F-14 Bombcat,
with both carrying equivalent attack loads? BRBR Good point but the answer isn't the F-14D. NAVAIR missed the 'boat' in the 80s, when everything was being upgraded, new models introduced while the F-14 languished. It 'should' have been the USN version of the F-15E, the 'strike Turkey' but wasn't, isn't. The F-14D was a compromise from day 1, and it pales in comparison to some of the other modern aircraft, many of which were much older, like the F-15E. It needs to go. Upgrading the F-14 is just not possible today. P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.) Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey, Viper, Scooter and Combat Buckeye Phlyer
