The AWG-9 radar was one of the systems that made the Tomcat a remarkable fighter when it was introduced. It had exceptional range and multi-shot capability but required specialized maintenance to operate at full capability. We talk to two former Aviation Electronics Technicians – ATs in Navy rating language – who give us a different perspective on the F-14.
Guests Barry Shumate and John Kovar talk about how they learned their craft: Navy schools, spending free time in the shop, sharing tricks with other ATs, and more. They describe repair methods you won’t believe and pranks they pulled.
