  2. It would be cool to see Guatemala with F-14 aircraft. I think the only other nation to use them outside of the US is Iran. Guatemala would have to worry about age and spare parts, but I think they should try more modern trainer/light attack aircraft like Honduras has the Spanish made C-101 and Bolivia uses the Chinese made K-8. The Russian Yak-130 is an option too. It is great that there are so many choices in the defense industry these days.
