  1. The decision to save relative pennies on the F-14's engines needlessly cost several lives of US Navy fliers. However Iran (pre-revolution) was in the market for a heavy fighter. They evaluated F-15s & F-14s and chose the more costly F-14 IIRC, in their view it was the more agile yet could lift more ordinance.
