You should see some of the hunks of trash we take flying. I flew aging F-14As and every flight was a string of emergency procedures. :)

Do you still dream of your breaker sequences? LOL.

When was your last flight in the Tomcat? I think you missed the whole stuck spoiler deal. One day NAVAIR released a NATOPS change that said to fly with the spoiler override switches (yeah the red guarded ones) in the override position.

Another great one was the way they mounted the LANTIRN pod. I'm still convinced that because it wasn't flush mounted on the LAU that it caused some significant Yaw moment in the landing configuration.

I left the fleet right before they put in the digital SAS. When they first fielded it you would get some massive wing rock whenever you got above 25 units AOA. When the pilots complained to NAVAIR the engineers response was "Why would you ever want to get slow in a fighter?" AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHGGHHH!
