F18 dogfighting
TV wrote: The question speaks to turning engagements in the visual arena. Objectively, the F/A-18 is a better turning fighter than the F-14A, but the thrust to weight of the B/D makes it a more difficult opponent. The lack of compressor stalls in the B/D also probably helps  .Has the Hornet had a history of engine problems? Or were you referring to the problems of older F-14's?
