  1. What is wrong with the nozzles on the F-14 model?


    The F-14 is used more as an AWACS in the IRIAF from what I've read in the past. It's also uncertain if the AIM-54As Iran has have been refurbished and are still functional as extended storage wasn't kind to US inventory Phoenix's.

    From what I understand the Iranians ran out of usable AIM-54s during the Iran/Iraq war, and supposedly Jerry-rigged Hawk missiles to launch from the F-14s.

  2. It's already up on DisneyXD's site, just watched it. Quick spoiler-free opinion:

    It's mainly just setting up a whole lot of other things I think. A few good moments, but don't expect anything as awesome as the Season 2 finale.

    You still have to put your Cable provider into the sight and if you don't have XD they wont let you watch it.

  3. There's a video of the event and you can see the smoke from the ejection rockets. It looks like it wasn't that high up, given you can see what look to be two shoots as well and it was all filmed from something with a zoom lens.

    In other words, I don't think they were at "normal" cruising altitude for a U2. Which begs the question, what went wrong and why did someone not make it? Very sad indeed.

    I'm sorry if i am making light of the death, but a U-2 cruising altitude in 60+thousand feet.
