"The F-14's grace and elegant design"

Now, that is funny!

The Cat is beautiful, but a beautiful BEAST. I'm glad the Super Hornet can diagnose it's own problems, but it doesn't take a computer to know when you are OUT OF GAS.

Bigger tanks don't mean crap if you make the airplane a fat cow at the same time. The Super Hornet is pretty; pretty gutless. The engines are a poor match for the airframe, it is slower than the original Hornet, but it's stealthy! Oooh!

The Navy already regrets the Cat's demise.
