Maybe Top Gun Maverick marketing played a role :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDQow_MfE0s&ab_channel=CityN...

Wouldn't Maverick convince you that sticking with F-18's is A-OK?

I heard that they wouldn't let Maverick take up a single seat F35, so the F-18 was really the only option...

If you look closely Maverick is always in the back seat... Same in the F14

There was no flying f14's in the movie, I think it was CGI over a f18. Same as the "darkstar", it was a blue angels f18 that did the low flyover of the guard post.
