Title: Tomcat ace
Post by: nooby52 on April 24, 2020, 01:48:26 PM

The link below leads to an article about anIranian F14 fighter ace who flew Tomcats during the 70s. I found his recounting of a particularly hard fight, exhilarating.

Yeah, like when you go to attack only to find out your guns dont work. I imagine it was a huge pucker factor, especially with those odds. He was simply recounting an event off the top of his head and it was so riveting. His style of narrating seems like he was relatively cool under pressure.
