We got our money's worth out of that one, didn't we. Can you imagine how long we'd have to fly F-35s before we could say the same thing?

Outstanding service from an absolute solid airframe. It's amazing that it has lasted this long. Thanks for sharing SSgt Robert Jorgensen !

It is sad that at one time we had 4,000 of these planes in 1994 and now we have so few left since most were shot down as drones. I wonder how many are still flying today in the USA? We know Iran has old F4 they rebuilt and they still have a few flying F-14 tomcat A models still in service.

I think I heard that there were/are only 2 flyable, and 1 is civilian the other a group is trying to save from the military before it gets cut up.
