Dang, that is painful to watch.

The machines sort of made me think of those scenes in the desert in
natural history programmes, with the lions tearing apart a zebra that
they've caught.

I hope that my grandkids can see a F-14 flying, in 15 years, but if they
crunch them all up, that won't happen.

It's highly unlikely - at least, for an ex US F-14 (or US ally), since
they must all be made unairworthy. There may be a few static display.

The irony of the situation is the warbird of tomorrow's airshows will
be mostly ex-Soviet or British, with very little US hardware. It'll look
almost like the Soviets won the cold war to the airshow atendee of the
future.
