YKTV: Project F14 Tomcat Restoration - Patriots Point 

So do I !.it would be great!😀👍

if i win the powerball... this is on my list of stuff to go bankrupt attempting

@@banzaiib A worthy endevor for sure!

Let's be honest, a properly restored F-14, in flight-worthy condition,... given modern avionics,.. do you think the US government would really want to risk that falling in to the hands of anyone wanting to do evil? Even unarmed, a Supersonic fighter jet used as low level projectile, in to a LNG tanker ship parked in a port,.. it'd make the Beirut blast look like a firecracker. There's a Harrier in private hands (ex US Naval Aviator who flew them), and the loophole to that sort of ownership was closed.

i know Im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any help you can offer me.

@Charles Antonio instablaster =)

@Houston Korbin i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

@Houston Korbin It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass !

@Charles Antonio No problem xD

Never happen. No support, equipment, parts for this bird, especially with a potential black market with Iran still operating the type.

Ditto. All engines, parts, avionics, etc were shredded.

give it iran, at least they are using it

@@User-nu6km tanx honey

@@User-nu6km Yikes. Terrible idea. The United States is so serious about not letting foreign countries obtain F-14 hardware that they shreded almost all of them aside from the demilitarized airframes (that are really just shells) that have been stripped of anything of value by the United States government that are in muesems. Thats also a quite poor choice considering the Iranians are enemys of the U.S. and have been trying to keep their fleet of Cats running for a very long time. If the Tomcat was not such a big asset to them they would have just sold their old aging fleet to some smaller country or would have scrapped them a long time ago.

...just the body I assume?

I don't agree, it would be like using a 1970's F1 car to race today's races. It was great relative to it's contemporaries and it's required role but has nothing on today's tech. It would however be amazing to see it flying at airshows etc. (Unless that's what you mean and it's just our differing definitions of "in service" :D

@@FatterTony No Tomcat Should Be In Service again But Fully Upgraded new Radars and more Even the Stealth Tomcat Should Be In Project

Sub Zero In work on the A-6 restoration now. Same group, with some awesome ex A-6 maintainers doing the job!

Hi Roy, The running lights are solar powered.

terry waller No, they were removed from service because Navy brass were fawning over the F/A-18 Hornet.

panda dragon jolly roger that!

Sean Hsiao it has to be covered otherwise the sun will destroy the cockpit over the years. They should have just done it with a chrome mirror finish instead

I have to say it adds drama to the exhibit and gives the impression the aircraft is throttled up and about to launch.

It’s a money issue. Museum ships are fearfully expensive, and they are spending the majority on the Yorktown which itself is badly in need of an overhaul. It has been in water since 1977 so you can imagine what the hull and keel looks like. They are doing the best they can with what they have.
