The F14 wasthe air superiority fighter. Primarily due to that big awg-9 radar and the GIB. It wasn't as fast or manueverable as th F-15, but it had aim-64 phoenix missles that were fire and forget capable. You couldn't get close enough to it to test its variable geometry wings in a dogfight. It is what I always looked for at airshows. I would dig up some photos but they all pre-date my ability to take a decent photo.


I like the f-18s too, not the same though.
