Don't be lazy, but check it there and you'll see that all similar
rumors about the US technicians "sabotaging" Iranian F-14s so these
couldn't fire AIM-54s are actually a complete and utter nonsence.

Considering that the Iranians are continuing to fly their F14's and indeed
*improving* them speaks volumes for their ingenuity.


We had some Pre-Revolution Iranian Warrant Officers (is hofmadors the right
term?) visit our ground radio shop for familarization for two weeks in
circa 78-79. We threw some troubleshooting problems at them which they
solved fairly easily. The NCO's in charge of my shop were fairly impressed
with them and the Iranians got bored fairly quickly. Both were not thrilled
to return to Iran due to the revolution going on at the time.
