Default Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.

Basically testing is proceeding more-or-less as planned.
Bugs and teething issues are being found and worked out.
It took about 4 years (1970-1974) between the time the F-14 Tomcat first flew and it's initial deployment with a US Navy squadron. And it was designed by and for the US Navy, and only the US Navy. Far fewer hoops to jump thru and people to please.
