Default Iranians seeking F-14 parts

I think that we are missing an opportunity here. We should sell the
Iranians any and all parts for the F-14 that they want, and at full
retail price. We could certainly use the cash and their F-14s would
provide great target practice for us if we came to blows with them.
Don't get me wrong, the F-14 is still a very capable fighter, I just
believe that pilot skill is more important than hardware. Look at what
the Finns did with the Brewster Buffalo against the Russians in WWII.


Or what the F-22 could do to anything in the air today! I love the Tomcat,
and think it's arguably the best of the teens in it's D version, but it's
just so much meat for Raptors. Still, they could pose problems for Saudi
F-15s or Tornado F3s.
