It was just the combination of swept wings and the maneuvers - for a
freakin' model, that's really impressive.

Yes, it's VERY impressive. I wonder if he has telemtry and/or a better
than stad range control transmitter. It would suck to lose that model...
it has the fastest landing speed of any RC model I've seen.

Did the gear come up? I wasn't sure, on that outside loop it looked like
the gear was up but it was hard to see. I definitely didn't see the wings
sweep back.

It's a shame the Navy only has one squadron of these still flying. They're
really expensive, and getting old, but they are still the best naval air
combat platform... by far.

I wasn't aware that the Navy only had one squadron still flying the F-14's.
I was under the impression that the F/A-18 E/F SuperHornet's were still
working their way into the line squadrons of the USN and USMC.
