Question on the sponsor, do you take it? Also would you buy it if you was not sponsored? I keep reading about it; I most find people saying it's over priced and you can buy all the ingredients in it cheaper than the 100 dollar package that only lasts 30 days. Example someone said taking a multivitamin and green tea extract does the same as this, and getting a yearly supply of that for the same cost of a month of ag1.

My father worked on the F-14D when he worked for Grumman he offen says that if production of the F-14 didn't stop when it did Grumman would have likely not had to merge with Northrop and he would likely still be an engineer. He still keeps models of the plains he has worked on the shelves of his office and a model of the F-14 proudly placed on his desk.

Kudos to your Grandpa, for designing and building 1 of the best and most beautiful Jet Fighters ever, The F-14. It's a shame that the Super-Tomcat 21 never got into service. Thank you for this video, I love everything about the F-14, there will never be a more Glorious Jet Fighter, for me, what a Masterpiece! The F-15 is a close 2nd, even when it has some better features than the F-14; the rest are just some kind of modern imitations only.

The USS Mississippi deployed to the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean, (3 August 1981-12 February 1982) imitated the Nimitz during a confrontation between the United States and Libya. She operated as part of the screen for aircraft carriers Nimitz (CVN-68) and Forrestal (CV-59) when two Libyan Sukhoi Su‑22 Fitter-Js threatened the task force (19 August 1981). During GQ, the Captain announced over the 1MC (to the best of my recollection), " the Libyan pilots expected to find the Nimitz deep in the Gulf of Sidra, but found us instead. They radioed for permission to fire on the Mississippi after a fly=over. Those jets were engaged by Tomcats before they started their attack run. A Russian cruiser is bearing down on us and illuminating us with fire control radar" and I don't remember the rest as I prepared for the worst as a damage control party nozzleman. You could see the fear in our eyes. One ship cruise-book page said a Tactical Operational Deception team had been onboard.
