Well, you're technically wrong about that, and right about that, lol. The F-14 (IS) was indeed capable of supersonic speeds, in his case, he was flying at subsonic. Russia has the best manueover ever, the Kvochur Bell. I think I mispelled some words in here so you can roast me for that if you want. 🤣
Also, yes you can and do block out distractions in situations like that. But, I was trying to add some humor into it. Lol
