Interesting, I always thought the ejection sequence was Hollywood BS, turns out it is a read problem with the F14  :o

Could you imagine if the Tomcat had a 1:1 or better thrust ratio with F110's? Accelerating in a climb, with a 4 Phoenix, 2 Sparrow and 2 Sidewinder loadout? If I saw that on my six I would just go ahead, pull on the Loud Handle, and wait for the chute to open.

I know they got expensive and time consuming to work on, but that's no excuse. The F-14 should NEVER have been retired. PERIOD.
