Hi.
As we have a community of F14 Tomcat enthusiasts on the Forum, i thought i would post another Vid for those who may have missed it. Apologies if you have already seen it.
There has been some debate, as to how effective the AGM-54 Missile really was and how it would have performed in a real shooting war.
It would seem it performed admirably.
This is pretty impressive stuff. Remember this is the Iranian Air Force. No backup from America,
Now imagine the F14, fully and correctly maintained and supported by Grumman. The Missile, supported by Hughes with constant upgrades. All these flown by Tier One US Navy Pilots. I think it is fair to say it would have served its purpose with distinction.
Interesting talk at the beginning of how the the Demo Pilot essentially won the Iranian contract.
