Navy mulls common fighter as F14 troubles mount
The Pentagon floated adapting the Air Force F15 for carrier use if the F14 swing wing program falters. Navy officials cite rising costs and tech issues delaying the F14B and may reconsider joint procurement with the Air Force to save money. The plan recalls past McNamara era efforts to share a single aircraft between services. The White House said Nixon’s New England weekend trip was nonpolitical and will be government funded.
