The Navy has retired the F-14 Tomcat.

This video is a fitting tribute.

Thank you for posting the link. It is indeed appropriate.

Thanks for the link.

As I recall, it was Macross that first led me to the F-14, but I soon learned to love the real planes just as much.

Time to rent Top Gun and watch Iceman take on 5 opponents with one engine out, that is real flying, not like that punk Maverick who freezes up at the worst time.

It's very good. and I feel you'd be a resource I could ask... When was Teenage Wasteland released???

The song is "Baba O'Reily" and was released in 1971. First track off Who's Next

I thought it was from the year I was born :D It is a true testament that a song that is 35 years old is still pretty damn good. Somehow I don't think "My Milkshake Brings all the boys to the yard" will last...
