It was more of knowing that somehow, someway they just had to shoehorn in an F-14 to pay homage to the original. Not that I minded.Brian Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563309422791320114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-21482830068026620682022-07-06T12:26:56.219-04:002022-07-06T12:26:56.219-04:00While it is one of many SOMEWHAT far-fetched eleme...While it is one of many SOMEWHAT far-fetched elements to the movie, the F-14 isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility, since the Iranians still have some and still fly them.

Our little Marine outpost was just off the runways--our job was prepping Marine equipment and gear for transport on the Air Force planes. Like many military duties, there was a lot of waiting, so we watched the jets take off. F-16's and F-15's were the main fighters and occasionally, we'd see a Japanese F-4 taking off. It was cool. So loud. jasonhttp://jsaphara.comnoreply@blogger.com
