Most #tomcat fans know #iran was the only non-U.S. country to operate the #f14 but they likely know little of the Persian Cat experience. This discussion with a former Iranian #f14tomcat #pilot takes viewers where few have gone: into the Iranian F-14 program.
We hide the identity of our guest for his personal security, but we get the full story of his experience: his selection for Tomcats, what he thought of his instructors, the condition of the aircraft and facilities, and even some war stories.
