Is the Navy saying the loss of life caused by F-14s is due to pilot error? If so, then the Navy pilots must need more instructions with additional on-base training!
The F-14s have flaws that no one seems to detect. Whatever they are, there must be some experts in the United States who can analyze and correct the problems.
To junk this aircraft may cost the government, but their total cost is not as precious as the life of one pilot.
The military in all branches should put more value on human life.
