I believe the F-14's wings position automatically for the flight
conditions.Â* I have no idea how quickly that happens.

Someone mentioned Top Gun.Â* I thought that was horrible.Â* Yeah, there
was eye candy for both of the only two real genders, and there were a

Top Gun - The opening sequence on the carrier is great. After that it gets silly like when Maverick goes inverted with the MIG separated by, what, 2 feet? Maybe the rudders happen to mesh REALLY well.

Technically the part that seems false is during the combat at Miramar where the swing wings on the F-14's keep going in and out and back in again in rapid succession one shot after another. Is that possible.
