To all the "old" F-14 pilots. you have no idea how much I and "we:" wish we were you! You think you do, but it's not even close. That plane was one of the most sleek and beautiful aircraft of our time. Now all we have is the "virtual " joy of flying with you from old videos. At 65 years old, I am to old other than to go with you in my dreams. May my dreams live on forever!
there are old fighter jets for sale at prices some can afford.Go to Controller,com and see whats available!:)No f14 or really modern stuff,but there IS an F4 available.
Il reste toujours le plus belle appareil , et ce n est pas le f35 qui dira le contraire 😢. Peut être que tomcat 21 renaîtra de ces cendres bientôt 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
There's a reason why they're retired it because the Iranians actually operated it I know American politicians and Americans are actually stupid but I think people are just dumb and the truth I've heard a tiny rumor that the f-14 there should be at least 30 of them at least in a top secret base
Great tribute. My favorite fighter, versatile and nimble. Operations Specialist 2nd Class, Air Intercept Controller USS Constellation CV-64, 1979-1985. Air Wing 9, VF-211 Checkmates
hello ! you say that you work with F-14 and i have a question....we can not see on the film but if you watch the movie "The Final Countdown", some F-14 have a rope in front of cockpit (only F-14 with a black color around the cockpit) and if i have not dream....some others planes too...but i don't know the name (i think saber...but not sure)......do you know why this "rope" ?? , why use ? thank you if you have a answer and sorry for my bad english
My God ! How can mere men create such a thing of beauty. Never before or since has something so sleek ever graced the clouds. A Ferrari of the Sky with Teeth and Claws. Loving it since 1974 and I'm now 65.
As an added note. The interior video of the formation flight brings some of the most " respected " tears I can give. Phenomenal display of strength and coordination. I would never ever want to be on their receiving end.
I was born disabled so my dream of being a pilot was done from the get go. That being said I've always been in awe of these beautiful cats! Top gun is still one of my favorite movies of all time! Guys that got to experience flying one of these are truly blessed! This is probably my favorite f-14 compilation well done!
They never made one better than the F-14 Tomcat. Thanks for making the video and posting. And thanks to all the men and women in the Military that protected my family and friends. I salute you all and God Bless you Charles Reeves.
Thank you TOMCAT for 30 plus years of service and for keeping AMERICAN skyies free from danger. And thank you for taking care of your pilots. Rest in peace TOMCAT.
Pilots of any plane which takes off & lands on an aircraft carrier are - DEFINITELY- the MOST talented people. It especially takes skill to land on carrier while the sea is choppy &/or when there is a storm !! You must have to admire those excellent pilots !
As a young man working at the Fort Sill Officers Club in Lawton, Oklahoma I had the pleasure of serving and meeting the two generals, both named Tom, this planned is named for.
it's almost 0140am and it's like a rush and a hard on at the same time...what in the world !!!? Pilots have to me the most Emotionally stable people to just keep themselves at ease when flying those baby's...I think!?
A part of America died the day we got rid of this gorgeous bird, why we chose stealth fighters over it I will never understand, May the tomcat live on in the hearts of the pilots and mechanics who worked with it
With the new long range anti-ship missiles now on the scene, the need for a long range, blazingly fast interceptor/fighter plane like the F-14 Tomcat to intercept enemy planes before they can fire those long range missiles at the aircraft carriers, has arisen. The need for the F-14 Tomcat has been reborn. An updated version with better, more powerful, fuel efficient engines and upgraded avionics would fill the bill. The F-14 Tomcat is about 400 mph faster than the F/A-18 Super Hornet and F-35, making both of those planes very lacking in the speed department and ability to defend their aircraft carriers. There is now a big need for the F-14 Tomcat once again. Without the F-14 Tomcat, our aircraft carriers are at risk. Bring her back!
One of the Best carrier based fighters ever, yes ..the best ever ? , it's all about eras and if you flew for the US Army / Air Force or Navy / Marine Corps... i would say one of the best loved for sure. Remember... F15 Strike Eagle Pilots and Raptor Pilots would all have a genuine opinion about their fighter aircraft.
I don't think there will ever be a fighter plane as iconic as the F-14 in the US Navy, surpassing even the mythical F-4 Phantom II, and even in other navies and air forces. It had capabilities that are hard to match even today.
Was sad to see this one retire.Every weapon system is supported at the top of a pyramid of people and teams that keep it up to date and operational.Saw a LOT of these at Pt Mugu.I know they have the rcs of a flying barn and an IR signature of a magnesium flare on a dark night but still...can't bring myself to say they are obsolete.Iran still flies their remaining F14's with a re-engine program rumored.Iran has more combat experience with this weapon than anyone and they would love to pick thru the boneyard for spares.Not likely to ever happen tho.
@@erichoffman2243 I couldn't agree more. I'm still trying to figure out what the hell he meant. "like ever see the world on old the f*cking history." What the hell does that even mean?
I'm a enlisted flt specialist on 3 types of helicopters 46 s 53s Uh1ns watched from Norfolk nas and 5 different carriers triple,launches continues on the America As fast as 3 would launch 3 more would be loaded and watch 12 or 15. Beautiful To omcats launch within 2 minutes that's spell binding, mesmerizing, The looks on the tomcat was phenomenal it had balls and great pilots just looking for something to attack. My opinion is that it's the most beautiful fighter jet I ever seen
Is there anyone in the "High command" for the Air Force that thinks that this Beautiful Aircraft should have been let go and not upgraded to an infinite degree??
@@GJones462-2W1 I think my fingers were way to quick with my typing. Maybe I'll hit them with a hammer for punishment. You are absolutely correct. I can't argue that fact with you. Maybe the Air Force should have bought a few too ?
@@MatthewPettyST1300 The USAF's F-111 was going to be the fighter for both branches, but it was too big, heavy, and not very practical to be used on a carrier, so the USAF said we'll take it, and make a fighter-bomber out of it. Very ironically, I joined the USAF from '87 to '92, and what did I do, you ask? Lol. I was a Weapons Systems Specialist (462X0) on the F-111D, and the F-111F. I know it didn't work for the Navy, but it was an AWESOME jet! I loaded 352,500 lbs of bombs on them during Desert Storm. Many of the videos you see of airstrikes, are from the PaveTac system on the F-111F.
@@GJones462-2W1 I was in Army Aviation Stationed in Germany back in 73-76. I was a Huey repairman/door gunner in an Assault Helicopter Company. that is after spending 6 months training to be an Airborne Sensor specialist on an OV-1 Mohawk, a 2 seat (Martin/Baker) Aircraft. The Pilot had one and I had the other.A typical waste of Government spending.
@@MatthewPettyST1300 Any weapons related MOS/AFSC in the military is an awesome job! Did you love that job as door gunner, or what? Damn, I'd have woke with a smile on my face each morning, because 1) I get to fly, and 2) I get to shoot killer weaponry! That sounds like a job for me! I know you spent time on the Mohawk, but did you ever fly in the OV-10? That would have been the one I would have loved to be in the back seat on.
I noticed that there aren't any remarks about how this aircraft was a maintenance nightmare. Sure, everybody loves it, with the exception of all the mechanics who had to perform endless maintenance, far, far beyond other fighters ratio of hours worked on deck/ hours in flight. Something like 25/1 hrs.

it should of been called the F-14 Eagle as it's silhouette looks like it has bird wings.
IKR I like that
Should still be flying!!!
I'm still crying.....
Tears in my eyes, thanks for the vid man.

F-14 was an absolute unit of a fighter. I suspect we'd be seeing modernized versions to this day if the Cold War hadn't ended.
More of a jammer and intercepter then fighter.
@@JMAC-rs6ey Interceptor is a subcategory of fighter.
Dude! Your video is right on the mark! Rock Solid! I can't say enough good about it!!!
Just the sweetest looking jet of all time!!!
miss those beautiful noisy birds.pmnas.

Merci grâce à toi tous les jours j'écoute cette musique en pensant à mon f14 chérie .
