    LOL, I had my “JETS ARE COOL!” phase when the F-1n fighters were the only active ones, so yeah. The swing-wing one from Top Gun is an F-14. F-16’s (provided by the Israeli Air Force, so… yay?) were featured in the, ahem, somewhat less well regarded Louis Gossett Jr. vehicle Iron Eagle.

      Hey, you leave ol’ Iron Eagle outta this. That was the best fuckyeah-milprop winter blockbuster that '86 had offer. Besides, at least LG Jr isn’t a gawdamn sociopathic cultist. 😅 I think.
