F14 is great plane, maintenance was not problem with tomcats, big problem was i lobbing by other firms. one hour of flight on cats cost more then 20000 dollars and near 20 hour maintenance per 1 hour flight....
Its bullshit when some one say its very expensive for maintenance....it has better performance then F18 in all aspect....AtA, AtG...CAP...

@jdhiner1 More capable, no. Easier to maintain, yes.
The F-14 was an incredibly capable airframe but an absolute nightmare to maintain. The FA-18 was designed with the exact opposite ideals in mind. It did not push for bleeding edge performance but rather was created for extreme reliability, ease of maintenance and low cost of operation. The FA-18 is kind of like the AK-47 of naval aircraft.

@1337yalla i don't think GRIPEN can destroy up to 24 targets on distance of 212km.... like f-14
Iranians made a good choice, they keep F-14 Tomcats best fighter jets in the world.
But the most funny thing is that America build this fighter and they destroy all their aircrafts...
