The F-14 and F-15 were developed only a few years apart, and their intended missions had many overlaps, so a rivalry was only natural. We talk to a USAF F-15C pilot who was assigned to a Navy F-14A squadron for an exchange tour and provides wide-ranging and entertaining comments on squadron environment, training, and other topics – as well as the fighters themselves: handling characteristics, engines, and much more.

Our guest is retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Doug “Norton” Carney, and he peppers the discussion with different terms for some familiar Navy items, such as calling the PLAT the “danger channel.”
