Jim "Rookie" Robb flew F-14s in the US Navy for 25 years, accumulating 4,000 hours on type in the process.This is the second part of a two-part 10 Percent True interview, in which Robb discusses attending TOPGUN as a student, instructor and Commanding Officer, and reflects on the air combat manoeuvring characteristics of the F-14. He also sheds light on some of the analytical thought process behind comparing fighter performance. You can see Robb at TOPGUN as a student in the following film, but these guys wanted me to pay $25 per second to put it in my video, and that's just greedy. So, take a look for free when you're done watching my video! https://youtu.be/r0wXvxXQ_RQ?t=172Robb flew an exchange tour with the US Air Force's 4477th TES, Red Eagles, and commanded the Navy component responsible for flying CONSTANT PEG sorties. His experiences as a student flying against America's MiGs were captured on the opening pages of my book, "Red Eagles: America's Secret MiGs": https://www.amazon.com/Red-Eagles-Americas-Secret-MiGs-ebook/dp/B01DPPTRD2/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=GDJU6CM3GWZTN)
