Today? From all the references to "Top Gun", you'd think these guys
consider "Entertainment Weekly" a primary source. No mention of
Iranian F-14's, and a painful lack of any understanding of the F-14's


It was a pretty lousy article.

What really surprised me was that they never even mentioned stealth.

Proves that Stealth works against USA Today. If we ever go to war with
USA Today, the F-117 will work perfectly.

That. Was. HYSTERICAL. Especially the first point. Classic.

Although I also cocked an eyebrow at the one Navy officer's assertion
that the F-14 was the last of the pure fighters. I'm not sure, but I
think the F-8 still deserves that honor.
