ive used this video for a presentation in my technology class. was looking for it for YEARS because the original video got copyright striked. In 2011 i found out the song name, in 2013 i found the video with an alternative RUclips song and in 2014 i found this version which got lifted from said strike again. been visiting ever since
TOMCAT ! my all time favourite there is no plan that can move so smooth like the tomcat .......when i was a kid i had a big plastic kit of the tomcat ....
Nice vid! Thanks for posting. I really miss this jet. Wish I could go back to the day I checked into VF-74 and do it all over again. I miss the flight deck! My wife doesn't miss the deployments, but I do! Flight deck troubleshooter is the GREATEST job in the Navy!!! So glad I chose to be an airframer!
my cousin was a mechanic for vf 31 2002-2007 he said that the tomcats systems compared to the f-18 was a big difference but the tomcat was better because it was faster and more versitial than the super hornet and the hornet
Didnt help that cheney put a stop to new airframes being built. This fighter could still be protecting our fleets and being used as multirole fighters. The proposed upgrade was better at everything and cheaper to boot. Cheney didnt have friends and stock at NG though, did he? Nope he had friends and stock at MDD and Boeing though.
Antifaith29 Ain't it always about following the money and whose hand is in whose pocket? My other thought, is that government and the military are not into getting maximum utility out of military hardware. And it does not seem that there is a real care or concern to spend taxpayer dollars efficiently but to look at how to spend what they were budgeted before in the past year or years and spend more. If they spend less, their fear is not to get the money they want in the future much less the money they need to new hardware, maintenance etc. Look, as an example of many, how the Air Force tried to screw the Warthog out of service because they simply wanted to spend money on new faster, gimmick filled toys, that surely would not be as effective to ground troops. Where budget and spending money is concerned, Government works inefficiently that way. I can attest to that.

damn! it's about 1 year i don't see this video and now i watched it again and ... damn, in some pats is totally different! did you edit it or is it just my impression?
@jm431 At some point, every jet reaches its lifespan limit. Too much fatigue, wear and tear on the airframe. A fighter jet isn't meant to last more than 25-30 years.
F14Dits the most capable fighter not the F18 nor the F18E/F.the f14 was just to expensive an dificult to mantain an even so the airframe was geting to old bla bla bla.the f18 it`s just the newest airplane but that doesent mind more capable.
One of my first RUclips Videos i ever watched. Took me months to find it again when you dont remember the name from 10 years ago

what a beautiful bird
the breaks at 1:36 absolutely gorgeous and powerful
TOMCAT ! my all time favourite
there is no plan that can move so smooth like the tomcat .......when i was a kid i had a big plastic kit of the tomcat ....
When music and footage work just right
Big, loud, bad and beautiful. Wish we had at least one still flying air shows. ❤️ Tomcat.
Long lived the Tomcat
I regret myself not trying to be a jet fighter
After all this time…I finally found this video again
OH Damn! I got a huge rush after watching this vid man. The F-14 is a damn sexy plane.

thank you for your service to the U.S.Navy!
Great music, great bird.
See, the Navy doesn't need the F-14 anymore. All they have to do is play this music over any guard frequency, and the bandits will crash themselves.

The Super Hornet can out perform the Tomcat in Air to Air. The Tomcat could fly Mach 2.4+ but only for Short bursts
Thanks so much for posting this. Damn, I want her back...
Missing ya, babe.
F-14 Tomcat FOREVER! R.I.P Best of the best! "Anytime Baby"

Wohoo !! God damn .. awesome video man !
Excellent video.
Very Nice....
the best plane of the world
YEES! worked on her proudly for 8 years! Aviation Electricians mate VF-114 Aardvarks Miramar, VF-201 Dallas Tx.
AIM-54C Phoenix+AN/AWG-9 , lethal combination
great video. she will be missed. it will be my favorite always.
superb Video .. Tomcats forever .. anytime baby
F-14 is very nice form and body!!
It was much easier to buy into US military propaganda when this thing was tearing up the skies. What an awesome piece of machinery. RIP Tomcat.
damn! it's about 1 year i don't see this video and now i watched it again and ... damn, in some pats is totally different! did you edit it or is it just my impression?
2:30 wow, awesome :D
@Jim21680 a faint voice recording of goose saying "great balls of fire" is also quite effective I've heard
How much fun does that look.........

Il Gatto !

what's tha song in the video? i want to download it in mp3
everyday everytyme F14 tomcat the big love jet fighter
@spectrecat30 I'd like some assuming you still got 'em.
0:42 Music is HORRIBLE, but i love this take off sequence.
It's gotta suck being the last flight. A Jaguar XJ is the closest on land I come to...sigh...not the same though.
Que pena que por decisiones políticas la NAVY haya prescindido de un caza capaz y emblemático como el TOMCAT...
Agustín V. After getting translation help, I agree with you:).
God bless the guy's who flew them cat's for the sake our freedom, then again they, probably did it for the RUSH!!!
f16 นี่ผ่านยากมากดูจากหน้า RUclips ถ้าไม่แจกไม่แถมหนักๆมีขายไม่ออก
ah well.....too bad the cats were maintenance and fuel dogs. TOP GUN just wouldn't have been the same without it.
