No F-15s...nor will their be a navalized F-22 which Xlinton rejected back in '93, and sadly, yes,
the last F-14 squadron was already retired last year leaving an interceptor capability void....

I'm thinking this so called reporter is an idiot... While I'm not sure all the F-14's are history yet, never has an F-15 set wheel one on a carrier... being an Air Force fighter and not carrier capable and all... Just a SMALL point. It also seems that there are no F-18E/F's on carriers as well... Nor surveillance aircraft, nor... Oh I've had enough of dolts writing as if they know anything about carriers... The guys a dunce!
and the fact that the f-15 is a land based fighter...
Yeah, it's aimed at those Andaman Islands tribesmen who keep acting up. ;)
What I’d like to know is why we’re so wimpy about characterizing these maneuvers as “not being against China” when The Chinese & Russians made a point of telling us their joint-maneuvers were specifically against the US?
The F14 Tomcat is history. Many are being shredded as we speak/type, ostensibly to prevent their parts from finding their way to Iran (which has the only remaining examples still flying).

And F-15’s never were
Good read. Bump!
