The F-14 was a bit ahead of its time, but even more ahead of its engines, so the power and throttle response of the F110-GE-129s would have made for an amazing upgrade.

An even better plan would be to "navalize" the YF-23 the same way the YF-17 was "navalized" to become the F/A-18.

Guess we'll never know...

Another YF-23 fan that hopes it or a variant is being produced as a black project.
