Hello Crunch and Bio: Thanks for hosting and producing “The F14 Tomcast”. I love it. It is a fantastic show. It gives the audience a unique insight into the history of the F14 and the people who fight and mateine it. I wonder if you could interview one of the crew members of the VF 74 who interceded on the 737 during the Achille Lauro incident in 1985. They were lunch from the Saratoga. I think that could be a cool program. This program of the Tomcats in Desert Storm was fantastic! Thanks again for hosting The Tomcast.

3:09 Serving in the same fighter squadron as your own Father has got to be up there with some of life's greatest personal accomplishments.

I grew up loving to hear stories and see pictures of VF-84. I also had the Jolly Rogers F-14 Model. I did not truly know the history of this Iconic Squadron till much later in life. But the movie The Final Countdown was my first introduction to this Iconic Squadron. Nothing like a pair of F-14s with the Skull and Crossbones tracking down a Japanese Zero.

How do you find your carrier in a combat situation ?

A combination of eyeballs, vectors from applicable agency, last known position + direction / speed of intended movement.

Question, could an avionics upgrade allow an F14d to go head to head with an F35? Why dont they have munitions designed to take out fighters with Fod? Imagine flying a jet into a cloud of 5 million dispersed bbs.
