The Lightning was knocking on 30 years old when it left service (1960 - 1989).

Its something like that. I am sure I put in an earlier post when it was first flown and first entered service. That would tell us, I am just to lazy to look.

I remember when Grumman was testing the prototype and the test flight crew had to eject short of the runway - happened at their facility in eastern Long Island, Les' stomping ground....

I watched a documentary on the F-14 about a year ago and they showed that crash. Good thing the guys got out.
