- Share via
The Navy restricted speed and afterburner use for its F-14 jet fighters and ordered air crews to undergo refresher training in a variety of flight operations after three recent crashes. The limitations were issued to allow the troubled aircraft to resume flying. The restrictions will be in effect at least until investigations into the crashes are completed, the Navy said. The new rules suggest investigators are concerned about the F-14’s behavior during low, fast flight.
