The video for the PBS NewsHour for Jan 23rd, 2012 did not say "File Footage", which is really really odd, because they showed more than a half dozen F-14s parked on the deck of an aircraft carrier in motion.

Perhaps these were Iranian F-14s? Razz

So you're saying the media didn't check their facts when it concerned military technology or accuracy?

Go figure?

IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!! THE USN IS SECRETLY BUILDING ST-21s!!!!

Yeah, we wish. It's another case of 'everything American is an F-16, everything Russian is a MiG'. The MSM is hardly noted for even remote understanding of military hardware and operations.

Looking at pictures of the "Super-tomcats", wouldn't the wings need to have parallel leading and trailing edges for effective stealth?
