“Who doesn’t love an F-14 if you are American”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
Boyd HATED the F-14. Father of the F-16 (and by association the F-18 hornet).
One of the best books I’ve read:

There you go, he can't have split loyalty.
We were stationed in Germany and got to go to the Paris airshow in 1976 when the F-16 was still a prototype and the Harrier was first introduced. What a great trip.
If there were female pilots when I was young, I might have tried to become one. I was born 20 years too soon😒
