14 million ? are you sure ? that seems a bit low

Each F-14A Tomcat cost more than 40 millions dollars and is one of the most costsome plane in the US Navy.




Yeah, but the Tomcats are way past the "A" variant and are being retired from service anyway. Bird strikes can bring down any plane (the Air Force lost a four-engined AWACS to a gaggle of geese in Alaska a while back).
