Doug- Not to mention the fact that there wasn't enough money for AMRAAM
on
the
F-14. That hurt too. BRBR

Concur. Even the USAF F-16 weenies got AMRAAM, along with AIM-7-
P. C. Chisholm
CDR, USN(ret.)
Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey, Viper, Scooter and Combat Buckeye

Phlyer

And the cost for the software val/ver (it was already developed) was a
pittance. Personally, I find the decision to not configure the F-14 for
AMRAAM (could have been done in the late 80's) an example of unpunished
criminal behavior. Based on recent headlines, unpunished criminal behavior
is a fairly common occurrence within the halls of the pentagon.
