This isn't worthy of it's own thread but if you like hearing stories about some of these older jets, I just listened to a great interview with a former F-14 pilot (he was one on the pilots in the movie 'The Final Countdown', for those of you familiar that classic WWII film
).
Normally, I wouldn't post and recommend a link to a 2 hr interview/video...mostly because I wouldn't watch it myself. But this was on one of the very few YT channels I follow and I started listening last night and it sucked me in. It was so entertaining I couldn't stop listening, next thing I knew, 2 hours had gone by
EDIT: If you don't want to listen to the whole thing, I see the interview was also segmented out into smaller clips, so you can look for those.
Anyway, if you like that kind of stuff, here's the full interview:
