Probably the world's worst dogfighter, as the Libyans can attest to...

Thought those were SU-22s.

No, the ones that VF-32 shot down on January 4, 1989 over the Gulf of Sidra were definitely MiG-23 Floggers.

There were two Navy F-14 shootdowns of Lybian aircraft. Su-22 in 1981 and MiG-23 in 1989.
