Ah the F-14s against the fake Zekes from I think it was "The Final Countdown" <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

A 45 has a muzzle.
A 9mm has a bullet vent.

BTW, the F-14 executes the Cobra at the 2:18 point of that video. ;)

Also, here is the full 106meg version of that video, for those interested:

the full version gets 2 thumbs up, funny

now the "cobra" was that a tomcat only move? because ive never seen anyone else do it.

the only funny line from "that movie"

Merlin: "hes moving in on us, hes gonna get a lock on us"
Maverick: "Im Bringing Him In Closer"
Merlin: "YOUR GOING TO DO WHAT!?!?" (insert wide eyes)

Bubba O'Riley was a great choice for the intro of fighter fling...

If you pay attention to the flight sequences in "The Final Countdown" while the VF-84 Tomcats are hamming it up with the Zero's, one of them actually experiences a departure, cool shot watching Tomcat recover...



I understand that there are a few F-22's at Oceana right now, while the runway at Langley gets a makeover. VF-31 is still operational untill they stand-down in September, probabaly a good time for the Tomcatters to fly some DACT for the F-22's, to replicate the Iranian F-14's...
