Here's the article from USA Today....

F-14 Tomcat
i personally think the F-22 nd F-35 are the coolest. ;-)

maybe its a generational thing?
But, those planes never had a movie with TOM CRUISE as the second-billed star. (First-billed would be the planes)

" I feel the need ... the NEED for SPEED"

" You can be my wingman anytime"

" No points for second best"

"I think she's lost it...
..Lost what ...
(cue music ) You've Lost that loving feelin' "
"Too close for missiles! I'm switching to guns!"

"You can't think up there. You think...You're dead!"

F-14, GREATEST... NAVY... PLANE... EVER

I'm pissed. Thats what I wanted to fly when I graduated, now it looks like a choice between F-18 and this goofy looking JSF. 03-hissyfit
JSF is state of the Art.

i'd pick it if i could.

Depends on which flight school class you graduate in... you may get your choice of P-3s or Helos...

But as far as fighters, they Navy essentially has two. Harriers don't really count cause they suck. Of course, this is all dependent on actually getting into flight school.

More importantly where you are ranked when you graduate. When my dad graduated flight school his class had over 30 fighters. When my brother graduated flight school his class had only 4 fighters. Sometimes it is definitely luck of the draw.

And a pain in the ass to fix, plus they break down constantly and fail to fulfill their purpose (give the Marines an aircraft capable of use close to combat with a short or no runway at all). (And they don't have a movie starring Tom Cruise)

Is that supposed to be a good thing?

I love this quote!!! lmfao lmfao lmfao

I loved watching the Harriers take off and land. Lot's of power. Wonderful in close combat support. Sucked when they were doing it 24/7 and I had to listen to it while on post!
