I have to admit that getting info off of Wikipedia is dangerous. I can’t find anyone who knows what the difference is between “French and “standard”. I’ve never heard of these two terms used in this way…

Some what off the question….So what are the specs of the AL-31? What does it weigh?

Please add the faked moon landing, the Roswell cover up, the Kennedy assassination and hurricane Katrina relief plot to your list. Somehow, they too have been used in some nefarious plot by the super competent U.S. government. They are able to organize and keep silent hundreds, if not thousands of people to fool the entire world!! Fool everyone except for a few incredibly insightful lone heroes on the Internet that can see through it all. That they are not able to silence these great beacons of light gives us all hope that even these super giant brains cannot think of everything! I just wish the incredible continuing genius behind this “Dr Evil” of a government could stop getting caught in men’s room sex stings. Your ignorance and stupidity is beyond all reason.

Hey! I earned that name! Anyway, why would this be so far fetched? I have read several stories regarding Soviet offers to re-engine F-14’s. Are those not accurate? If that was the case, wouldn’t it make sense they would need to have examined them…closely?

Also, why are we so sure there were no F-14’s in Russian hands?

It’s a pity the photos were fakes…red star didn’t look too bad. Ok, so it was a little off center.
