It's not just F14s. See the section about half way down titled: 2,669 'SENSITIVE MILITARY ITEMS'. |
Yeah, still no big deal. I even talked to the guys at the Museum of Flight (Boeing) and antennaes built in the 1950's and 1960's are considered 'sensitive items'. He had to smuggle one in to complete their YF-12. I won't tell you which one, but if you look at that YF-12, one of the antennaes on that display is still considered classified even though it was built 60 years ago! BS. THere is better civilian equipment developed 20 years ago!
The point is, this is why no one cares that they are selling 'sensitive' items. The reason they are still classified as 'sensitive' is that the military never removed them from the 'sensitive' list back when they should have 50 years ago!

PS. Remember one thing - this is AMerica you are talking about here. In this land, if you really want an F-16, and you have the money, you can have one. Don't forget that. THink how much sensitive items are on an F-16 for example, yet you can buy one and fly one here!
