Pilot: I can't reach tony you're gonna have to pull it! Anthony Edwards: Nope! Not till u apologize for last time. Pilot: What? It was a movie! Anthony Edwards: The worlds a stage. This is us now, accept that.

Listen to this Day.. that's the most Bad Ass two seat jet fighter ever designed.. bucket list for sure... ride backseat..catapult takeoff.. Aircraft Carrier...

My tax money!

Did they base the top gun scene from this incident (test or not)? It cannot have happened that often

Os pilotos esperam o "melhor momento" para ejetarem. Essas naves são tão desgraçadamente bem feitas que cai em um perfeito balé. Sendo, apenas, ligeiramente desestabilizado, quando da ejeção dos pilotos.

Did he just fly through Iceman's jet wash? Is he headed out to sea?

Eject Mailman eject!!!

30 million dollar boomerang

Wonder if the pilots ejecting and the canopy firing off disrupting the flat spins airflow along with the cg changing and the air being thicker at lower altitude which allowed it to recover .if that's the case then the plane wouldn't have been able to recover with the pilot and his reo seated

Pilot error, what he should have done was get out of the flat spin

Drag chutes and lower the tires, should get better traction and control in the slipstream.

Liar; it was a test with a successful ejection.

Ilove how the cameraman just carries on filming and just stands there watching it happen instead of putting his arm out and stopping the spin. Some people care more about footage than lives.

Power off, nose down, neutral ailerons. Then bail.

Oh great Maverick and Goose.

The plane leveled itself without a pilot. All it took was kicking the rudder in the opposite direction and suppressing the elevator. The catapult was premature.

Fun Fact: bless those blacks in the Congo that let the white people have the COBALT MINERAL that makes the not ever ever tear apart no matter how fast. Thank you African King mr.patrice lamumba who purposely kept the mineral from the white people. They killed you and took it anyways. They had this future technology in mind and sir.......and you never would had imagined it's use today.

Man, hats off to the test pilots who fly these sorties! The absolute iron willed fortitude it must take to deliberately fly aircraft past the edge of the envelope to see a specification valid or invalidated is gut wrenching to watch. I always wondered since the Tomcat has swing wings and if sufficient altitude was available would manually sweeping the wings aft provide enough center of gravity change to break out of the flat spin. It's crazy to watch the Tomcat break out of the spin and almost recover itself after the ejection.

Try Swinging the wings into supersonic mode. To gain forward momentumn. Also think about parachute deployment for the Blacked out pilots. Could save a few more lives.

The plane recovered naturally about 1 sec after the pilot bailed. Its likely the aircraft could have been saved still leaving some safety margin on the clock/altimeter.

Had an f14 tomcat go down about 300 yards behind my house near moyock va from oceana air base..both pilots ejected but were driven ten feet into a muddy bog still in their seats but each hole was about the size of a basketball.. the suction force after such a violent impact actually contracted the openings from about 3 ft x3 ft down to a 12 inch hole..nothing but debris for almost a mile..1982..

Soom after i got to Boeing 767/747-400 as an Aerospace Engineer & glider pilot -- the F14 was talked alot by other x-military pilots there,& private pilots, Engineers -- to this day the F14 design & capabilities is still talked about. I was amazed at its swing-wing Engineering by Grumman Engineers. Swing-wing fun facts: F14 compensates for wing movement by pumping fuel into forward and aft fuel tanks to deal with the change in Center of Pressure (CP). RE CG, He conveyed his understanding is CG remains at a fixed location. & added every aircraft performs most efficiently when the CG is located as far back as possible because doing so minimizes drag. As an added bonus, i hope to find time to start my yt channel to go over synthetic engine oil vs plant-based oil. Boeing aircraft, at least when the 777 was on the drawing boards -- used sythetic engine oil. And it changes engine oil mid-flight. With my new law studies -- Engineers out there who are working for an aircraft manufacturer and you have an invention in your mind -- pursue a patent as a private individual, never broadcast it at the corporation because they jump your claim so to speak & the 'company' robs you of 'your' breakthrough idea. I strongly recommend Patent book <Patent It Yourself> by Patent Attorneys David Pressman & Thomas Tuytschaeveds, published via Nolo books, on Amazon. Its a step-by-step guide to filing your idea at the U.S. Patent Office. Its key point is people with an idea can perform their own patent search. Compared to paying a Patent Attorney to do that. It educates the latest pantent laws and guides the reader in preparing and filing your patent application

I believe deploying the drogue chute in any flat spin situation helps in recovery.....

“Watch the canopy!@

Well done!

A flat spin for the F-14 was irrecoverable once established, but apparently the pilot had to really screw up for it to happen in the first place. It wasn't as easy to spin the Tomcat as _Top Gun_ makes it look.

RIP Goose

IF theyd stayed with it n stick neutral........................................

The "funniest" thing is that the plane stopped spinning without pilots inside... :/

How is it fatal if they ejected and survived?

Ok. Who died? The fish it hit in the water? Both pilot and rio punched successfully Do your homework, guy.

finally they could have control it... couldnt?

Poossies....it corrected itself. Why didn't they sweep the wing? CG would have gone forward. The making of future Cirrus pilots I guess.

One of my first flight instructors was a P-51 pilot during the war, he said if the Mustang was still spinning by 10,000, bail out.

in ace combat 7 i just give it some gas and that pretty much fixes everything

Title is misleading. It was not fatal, no one died.

Probably 🤔

Hmmm. I've seen a lot of posts saying a flat spin is unrecoverable, and the reasons they give all make perfect sense. Found some interesting articles on the nature of flat spins, too. But it seems the Tomcat was notorious for it. Was there a design flaw?

this is and was a waste of tax funds.

Thing was nose down which could have been recovered from there if it had of had sufficient altitude

3 Words: Center of Gravity. That and the denser air down low caused the plane to stabilize on its own. The loss of 300-400kgs shifted the CG back and made the plane tumble out of the spin. Usually, it would be tried to move the cg forward. I heard it's the reason why many Tomcats flew with at least 2 Sparrows below the nose, to keep always the CG a bit on the forward side. A quick change of GG, like demonstrated here will also help immensely, even if it'd not forward. I tried to demonstrate this in DCS on my channel, take a look if you want.

When I was a kid in 5th grade, the smartest kid in my grade told me about this phenomenon. That was about 55 years ago and this is the first time I've actually seen it.

Why didn't they try changing the wings position backwards? That would have made a huge difference in CG and aerodynamics and almost certainly taking it out of the flat spin. Am I wrong?

Dual compressor stall at rotation number two and a half.. unless they closed the fuel valves which I doubt they would do in a simulation. Looks like it got out of the spin (but remained in a stall) on its own just prior to impact despite the increased aft CG incurred by the ejection. What a fascinating piece of footage. Hats (helmets?) off to test pilots who go out and do this stuff to collect data so that others may live.

Can someone explain what causes this? I’ve always loved the F-14. Is it still flown today?

I’m amazed how balanced the plane was on its way down continuously righting its self during its tumble.

The G-force on the pilot would have been immense. 2.3 seconds per rotation. I just counted 30 rotations and took the time. This is an Angular Velocity (ω) of around 2.73 radians/second Estimated Distance of pilot from Center of Rotation (r)11 meters Using ω²⋅r/g G-Load: 8.36 Gs Sustained 8Gs for over a minute 😲

That wasn’t fatal. Next.
