snip some crap

The F-14, OTOH, is a naval carrier-based fleet defense interceptor
with swing-wings, a backseat RIO, and a nasty ultra long-range
Maverick missile for knocking out (back a couple decades ago)
predicted enemy "Bear" long-range Soviet bombers. Both aircraft are 3
decades old and need replacing.


The AGM-65 Maverick missile is an Air to GROUND missile that in my
experience is generally used against armored vehicles.

snip some more crap

Absolutely correct, my bad... should read Phoenix... "Top Gun" was on

Thanks for the polite correction,
Rob
