Going to admit something here:
Went and saw an advanced screening of "Top Gun 2 - Maverick" last night. (Spoiler Alert: It did not "take my breath away". Talking to the old farts with US Navy caps on was fun though. AT LEAST half the audience had some kind of pilot rating because of TG1. It was like Oshkosh, only in a theatre)
There's this scene where Maverick and Goose's son "Rooster" steal an F-14 for plot reasons.
The F-14 was pretty bad arse 35 years ago. Even the RIO looked cool.
Now (and the plot TG2 alludes to it), it looks like junk.
This is what the "modern" 737 looks like compared to your basic CRJ.
An anachronism.
How is this even possible?
