My God… The F-14 Tomcat May Actually Fly Again Over The United States (As a "warbird" demo)
Long regarded as a flight of fancy, the "Maverick Act" could put an F-14 back into operation in the U.S. for the first time in 20 years.

I either fix it or break it permanently... there is no try.

I guess Iran is no longer trying to get parts for these.

I'm finding this thread quite triggering considering what's going on in the world at the moment.

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

Triggering 😂

I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.

My guess is the same... for obvious reasons.
