    F-14 + AIM 54 in fleet defense

    I'm very interested in this :) The 14s didn't intercept the missiles in combat, same as they didn't intercept the missileers in the form of Tu-22 or 22m/26. Let's not confuse capability with intent, and either of the two with what a random internet person tells us. The F-14s were not to be...

    Would the F-111B have really been superior to the F-14?

    Hello everyone this is my first post on here :) I was recommended this video by the "glorious" YouTube algorithm while watching some of Ward Carroll's videos. The person who did said video mentioned some things about the F-111B...how much better would it have been than the F-14 as an...

    F-14 with canted vertical stabilizers

    An early model, the G-303-1, I believe of the late 60's VFAX program featured canted outward vertical stabilizers like the YF-17 and F/A-18 family This feature was dropped in the later VFX program that resulted in the F-14 does anyone have an idea as to why and also what would be the effect...

    Royal Navy with F-8 Crusader instead of F-4 Phantom II

    The arrival of a new book on the F8 Crusader got me thinking of the old chestnut of giving the RN a fighter for Ark, Eagle, Victorious and Hermes I have always felt that if we had done what France did and purchased the F8 we could have kept a carrier force as long as the French did. We could...

    F-14 Tomcat Projects

    I was wondering if anyone has any more information on the version of the Tomcat II shown in the image below? It's obviously stealthier than the standard version and has inlets similar to the F-22, but I was wondering if anyone here has all three views or any renderings or pictures of models of...

    Vought "Advanced Interceptor" studies (SAMI, ADLI, HSV)

    These two photos were supplied by Garry Morelock (@elider) from his personal photo collection. He believes the first picture shows Vought's submission to SAMI (Strategic Advanced Manned Interceptor) and the second, possibly an early VFX project.
