Maybe i'm slow to get this but there is no such thing as a -4g dive. If you are upside down and you pull (to dive) you are going to be putting on positive g. If you are upside down and you push you are going to be experiencing negative g.  

This some kind of Topgun joke along with the fact that there is no Mig 28 ??

The F-4 and F-8 were much better looking

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

-The F-14 used the engines and radar that were originally designed for the F-111.  The engines proved to be extremely prone to compressor stalls.

-The F-14 was not a 9g fighter.  It was limited to +7.5g and later +6.5g as the airframes aged.

-As seen in Topgun, when the F-14 was in an unrecoverable flat spin, there was not enough airflow to sufficiently separate the canopy from airframe.  Several RIOs were actually killed by striking the canopy.

-The F-14 proved to be a very capable bomber in the first Gulf War, and later in the Serbian war it acted as both bomber and forward air controller.  F-14 controlled strike units had the honor having a much lower friendly-fire rate than Air force units.

-The 8 foot spacing between the F-14s engines were a direct result of lessons learned in the F-4, in which the destruction of one engine usually threw enough debris and shrapnel to destroy the other engine.  Ironically, this wide spacing is what caused such tremendous yaw during engine failure in the F-14, causing its high accident rate.

Would not thrust vectoring, if it was ever to be incorporated in the F-14, get it out of a flat spin?

We'll never know now!

- the F-14A+ was the first American fighter to be able to cat without being in burner

-The Phoenix missile was never fired in anger. All opponents ran from F-14s.

- the F-14D had a new radar the APG-71 and could not fire the Phoenix. It used AIM120s. It also had an advanced avionics package. Was replaced by the F-18E/F Superhornet
