Cat peeking out of the bag?

Woody,
I've got your points already, don't worry. ;-))

Anyway, in conclusion, it can be said that at least some within the USN
should have got and seen these documents.

It remains unclear, however, why specific people haven't ever got them nor
heard about them. This especially when it comes to people who were in - I'd
say - decisive positions for the stance of the whole USN in regards to the
F-14.

That's at least something to think about. Perhaps some day somebody would
care enough to find out why (I do not think this is our job: Farzad and me
have already enough to do with Iranians and Iraqis).

Okay, my last input about this. Just got the Fall 2004 issue of 'Hook mag.
Little story about the F-14 since it's about outta here. Page 32, "The IRIAF
Tomcats participated in the Ian-Iraq war and scored an undertermined number of
kills while suffering some losses."

Story contributors were the likes of Capt Monroe Smith, RADM Jay Yakeley, CDR
Tom Twomey, CDR Dave Baranek, and some others. These F-14 guys, particularly
Capt Smith, are no slouches when it comes to F-14 history and knowledge
but......
