Matt Lauer, Greenwich H.S., CT alumnus is in Tehran, Iran

MSN "Ask Matt Lauer" for 9/13/07

The former Grumman F-14 test pilot, Tom Gwynne at the "Cradle of Aviation" museum on Long Island, reported we had sold 80 F-14's to the Shah, which as I recall TV reported we would blow-up if the USSR moved to invade Iran (in the student started "hostage crisis", Savak was spying in the US on Iranian students they allege) as the air-to-air missile technology was top secret. I was at his house for this, a belayed birthday. Are F-14's (the only country ever sold them) still flying in Iran?
