Crazy Cooter here. Ghostrider from 1982 to 1991. I miss you guys!!!!!

[@roscoepm]

O yea! My favorite F-14 squadron. Served on the IKE when you guys were there in the 80's. Was an ABH and always launched 142 before the "lost dogs" of 143. Great times.
Thanks

[@ossi8219]

yup

V3, 1981 to 83 IKE

I was never in the military service , but my father and brother were, now I was living in Upstate New York in 90 -91 , till this day my father never understood how much i loved him , and how much the thrill to go into Roosevelt Roads and see the F14 on the tarmac,or even just being there to see them...I had such a fascination with the F14 ,and wanting to enjoy the base ...only went inside 3 times ...never got to enjoy what he never knew inside my heart ..Good bye Tomcat and Roosevelt Roads...

[@Tailhooker2]

I understand the feeling. It was an incredible aircraft and a lot of fun. Really enjoyed my time in Rosie Roads too!

[@ysanchez7292]

Tailhooker2 you were a pilot?

[@Tailhooker2]

I was a RIO and took all the video. Unfortunately we didn't have digital back then. Got more raw video I need to put into another post!

[@ysanchez7292]

Tailhooker2 yess !!! You guys rock , Seriously ! Always was in more Curious the RIO , part too ... Please do down load more, please forgive me , I was person that read and watched videos on jet Aviation , after my 30 year I lost alot of my interest in Aviation and forgot alot too...But maybe you can clear something for me , Were RIOs trained to fly aswell , I had certain doughts the were left in the past ?

God I miss the Cat...

[@MechanizedGhost17]

I envy the tomcat pilots, that will always be my favorite plane. I wouldnt want to replace any of those pilots tho, they all had the privelege to fly it, and I wouldnt want to take that away from them

[@gummybear41283]

what do you mean you dont want to replace the pilots? if you make it you make it

[@phillipeubanks7471]

Tomcats ...with new supercruise engines...top avionics...would be bad to the bone!

[@curtekstrom6600]

I did 2 different Assignments with 142. One while Enlisted and again when Commissioned for my "Nugget" Cruise. Sadly VF-142 was Disestablished in 1995.

[@Rueda456]

...standing up, ...I Salute them as they still FLY BY

[@Leonhart306]

If the A-10 can still be in service, why not the Tomcat? This video makes me sad that the military retired the F-14. #TomcatLivesMatter

[@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM]

The A-10''s a relatively simple plane, therefore cheaper to fly & maintain, whereas the Tomcat, is nowhere near any of those things.

[@IntrudersForever]

Amazing

[@frankielaureano3666]

Nice vid!! Flying over NAS Roosevelt Roads Puerto Rico.

[@pedroivansanchez3856]

Wow i was just asking , i only got to go in about 7 times and only was able to take a picture of a few back in 1987...later in 1996 saw 2 flying over the Urbanization were i used live in the Island....that base was huge...!!

[@SilentGunner13]

@Leroshaft to bad it got retired to make room for the F-18, this was a truly kickass plane

[@Therising121]

Hey I am part of Sea cadets and my unit is called VF-142 and im init its pretty cool to see real pilots back then and now im the next naval aviation :D

[@markschroer5940]

[@rearspeaker6364]

+ILSRWY4----a shame you hate a country western classic from 1948.

[@ILSRWY4]

This was kick ass until 0:35 sec in... then it became as cheesy as all the rest these flying videos.... for the freaking love of GOD... stop it with the crappy music and flying videos. What the hell is wrong with just playing natural sound???

[@benjaminperez7328]

Are you dissing Johnny Cash????
Get some taste and take the stick out of your fourth point of contact.
