    Declassified Dogfight NAVY F14 Tomcats

    "On the morning of January 4, 1989, the aircraft carrier USS Kennedy was operating off the shore of Libya near the declared Libyan territorial waters of the Gulf of Sidra, when radar indicated that two Libyan MiG-23 Flogger fighter jets were aggressively approaching their position."

    "Two F-14 Tomcats moved to intercept and escort the Libyan fighters away from the carrier group. As the floggers approached, the F-14 pilots turned on their missile guidance radar to deter the MiGs from coming any closer. The Libyan pilots ignored the warning and kept on with their aggressive approach.The lead Tomcat was forced to fire two air-to-air missiles, which missed their intended target. The wingman wasted no time in sending Sparrow and Sidewinder missiles at the Libyan aircraft knocking them both out of the sky and ending the threat to themselves and the rest of the carrier group."

    Here is a computer animation of what happened to better put it into perspective

    I tried to edit your post to add the videos but that didn't seem to work. The only thing I can think of is that it may be an issue with the font from when you pasted the text, but I'm not entirely sure. I'll try to post them here and see what happens.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    In the simulated description it says the E2-C Hawkeyes from VAW-126 notified them of the MIG's taking off and told them to engage if they felt threatened.

    Twas as the planes I worked on when I was active duty and was the squadron I was in!

    Good post man!
