quote:

The Congressman mentioned F-14, 16, and A-10’s.


There are no F-14's in the boneyards, Cheney had them destroyed, ostensibly to keep Iran from getting spares for their own Tomcats, but some suspect he did it to spite Grumman, whom he had a beef with at the time.



And it's actually against the law to export A-10's. We don't want anyone getting the gun technology. Unless it's changed since then, this was put into law all the way back in the 80's.
