It's a good job you don't care what anybody thinks, because that's total bullshit ;-)

​@Parker75452 not necessarily. Newer Russian Sukhois could be a worthy opponent. But I'd still expect the win to go to the F15EX

Don’t know where you heard that. The F35 is the only fighter set for production from now on. There is no need for anything better for a loooong time since nothing can compete. Before anyone smart chimes in with the SU57. We’ve already produced 875 F35s. There are currently only 3 SU57 actually able to fly, and they only use them for Air Shows lol. 10 were test models. In total only 13 have been produced, and Russia doesn’t have the economy or infrastructure to produce any more. Especially with the losing war they’ve got going on with an inferior Country lmao.

Correction. There were 17 built. 10 test and 7 in service. Let’s see how 7 SU57 fair against U.S DoD’s 450 lmao. Which by 2040 they plan on operating 2,500 of them. Maybe by 2040 Russia will have built a couple more 🤣🤣🤣

And just to add insult to injury, because I find it hilarious and forgot to include it in previous comments. Even the UK could take on Russia’s 7 SU57. Since they have 26 operating F35s. I don’t get why everyone hyped up Russia so much. They are a failing Country and have been for a long time. Their economy is complete crap and they have no infrastructure. Just because they have the “most” military equipment is what people bring up. Just because you have 1,000 tanks doesn’t mean anything if 900 of them are in various states of disarray and inoperable, and the soldiers that run them are inexperienced and undertrained. Or you have an airfield with 50 fighter jets but only 10 of them can actually fly, and the pilots are again inexperienced and don’t get to train for actual combat. That’s Russia in a nutshell.

@@SPFLDAngler He's referring to the Navy F/A-XX 6th Gen program to replace the Super Hornet by 2030. It won't resemble the Tomcat but will hopefully provide the increased speed, range and endurance that a fleet defender would need, especially in the Pacific.

flysupertomcat1 the music is gay af. Lol

How is that porno music? It would make my boner fall off.

we miss you Flex

Agreed!

Yes, maybe a fixed-wing version for weight reduction.

My dad used to work with them to back in Atsugi Japan. Those were my childhood days. I still remember seeing F-14 in the hangars just sitting there while i observe them up closely and to not touch anything like my dad told me. Back then they use to party a lot get drunk and it can be a pain when my dad gets drunk. All those beers gave him one big beer belly.

RetroCNY, according to the book 'US Navy F-14 Tomcat Units Of Operation Iraqi Freedom' by Tony Holmes, 2005, F-14As were in service well into 2003 and 2004. Chapter 4 begins with the story of I believe 4 F-14As from VF-154 deployed aboard Kitty Hawk in February, 2003 at the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). These jets focused on air-to-ground and training missions with coalition aircraft. There's a nice shot of F-14A BuNo 161293 from VF-154 Black Knights on p. 68 while flying over CV-63 below. The caption reads "March, 2003" as the date of the picture, and that 51 laser guided bombs (LGBs) were dropped by this particular aircraft against real targets during the campaign.

But anybody noticed that F-14As were modified to have the same capabilities as the F-14B?

While the later models were a better aircraft because of the new engine, the "A" model just looks right with those nozzles in back.

lefthook613, I see the blurry spot you're referring to. I think it's a spot of dust/dirt on the canopy which appears blurred in the video due to the proximity of the camera. I don't think it's another aircraft.
