Nice vid this (no jingoistic anthems, salutes, flag waving or Faltermeyer). The most successfull F-14 Tomcat pilot ever, as gauged by enemy kills, is quite likely Jalil Zandi of the IRIAF (yes, an evil Iranian). Hes been credited with shooting down some 11 Iraqi aircraft during the First Persian Gulf War of the 1980s (hey, when I was a kid it was just called the Gulf War . . but I guess the BBC didnt know, back then, that someone would reset the counter in 91). Despite American embargoes, and even completely banning the sale of Tomcat spare parts, the IRIAF continues to operate Tomcats. Hey, if only wed been on Irans side back in 80 . . the trouble we might have avoided.
