Grim Reaper comes calling for F-14 training unit

From PilotOnline.com.

Yes, I stole the headline, but it says it all. The last training squadron of the F-14 is getting rid of the plane next month.

There is another blog you might want to check out. At FlightJournal.com, there is a long article comparing the F-14 to the F-18E/F. The authors DO NOT like the F-18 and think the Navy is making a big mistake in not upgrading the F-14.

Its worth reading the article, but remember, the authors are advocates, not impartial so their arguments would need to be verified.

I'm still sad to see the F-14 go, but how much of that is nostalgia for the plane and how much is concern the F-18 cannot do the job of the F-14 I cannot say.
