I have spoken to pilots of both aircraft and it is unanimous.... The Hornet ain't got NOTHIN' on the Tomcat! But you know I think is a real crying shame? Not one Tomcat has been kept air worthy to fly in Airshows around the country or the world. How could this be? The F-14 deserves at least that tribute don't you think?

I used to joke that if they could teach them to hover the CVW would be totally ruined. I never thought of the rotodome joke though. Also I saw that Nimitz show when it was on. Pretty good I thought. But then it was Jet Porn as Lex calls it. Ha, great pic of the VFAQWS Hornet Pinch. I used to joke that if they could teach them to hover the CVW would be totally ruined.

A full third of the hour long show deals with your former squadron now assigned as VFA-14 Tophatters. I'm not sure if you can access it south of the border but here's a teaser link for anyone interested. Show times are listed under the video window. http://dev01.ctvdigital.com/discoverydev/Showpage.aspx?sid=13057 The USS Nimitz is being featured on Mighty Ships this weekend on the Discovery Channel up here in Canada.
