[QUOTE=Freiwillige;1352877]Funny I had an Uncle that flew F-14's in the 80's. Did you know that for every hour that bird flew it took 80 maintenance hours!!! Great aircraft but a bit labor intensive to say the least which is why they were fazed out early.

Really? any idea what squadron(s) he was with? Uncle has some cool memorabilla in the guest house/manspace in his backyard, some cool videos and pics form his flying days, he retired about 4 years ago but still regularly flew.The Tomcat's maintenance load was high, he has talked about it but can tell he never minded because it was a great plane.
