9.2 max g on that last video... (showed on the hud in the D) for all the people that seem to think she was limited to 7g. She was a 10g airframe, boys.
They should have updated the Tomcat with new engines, avionics, aesa radar, electronic warfare suite, HMCS, etc, would have solved the maintenance problem and been a better partner for the F-35.
This archival material is phenomenal and of very good quality, which is unfortunately what I miss about the F-14. The Tomcat had a unique look - it was beautiful. Some military aircraft without armament and suspended pods look like they are naked. But not Tomcat, this plane looks great even in its "pure" version. I like flying it... in the DCS World simulator 😉. By the way, great music around the 6:30 minute mark. What piece is this?
F-14 "104" was likely not in TopGun...Why? Every Carrier Air wing back then had two F-14 squadrons...One squadron had A/C numbered from 100 to 111 typically...The second F-14 squadron will have side numbers from 200 to 211...There are 12 carrier wings back then, so at any one time there are 12 F-14's with the side number 104...Secondly as aircraft are swapped between squadrons including the training squadron their "side number" changes..For example if Squadron "X" needs a plane for deployment they ask and get one from a different squadron....If they give up plane "104" and get plane 111 then they must paint their "new" plane with "104" so that they have proper numbers. A side number is a temporary given so that you know what birds you have in your squadron and everybody knows that those birds are from that one squadron.. A Bureau number is the number permanently assigned to that plane. It is a 6 digit number, but yo will only see the last four digits on the side of the plane in numbers smaller than the three digit 100 to 111 numbers. Ask me how I know.
@@PriscvsNobilis man, I was so happy and excited to see a reply on this... now I'm just sad that you're just trolling. I really needed some happiness today but you just threw me deeper in the pit.
@@vigi86 sorry bud, I couldnt resist and I do hope that your spirits improve. But in all honesty, this is most likely a 1980s style public domain track of some kind.
Naval Air Facility - it's smaller than a Naval Air Station. Kind of like how we named installations in Iraq and Afghanistan based on size - Camp, FOB, COB, COS, COP, PB, etc.
Bonjour, en plein construction d'un f14. Svp .. pourquoi les lumieres blanc en bout d'aile ne s'allume pas? .. il n'y a pas de lumière clignotante sur le f14? Merci
Most beautiful jet ever!!!!
what a sexy aircraft!
God, just the way the f14 looks when taxiing down the runway with wings swept back, it just looks sexy and dangerous. I love it.
The sound of freedom.. the plane is a legend 👍
9.2G pull at near supersonic in the Tomcat. Watched it in the "Tomcat Tales" movie. Amazing.
The PC with the mustache and "Ziggy" on his cranial is my dad. I'm doing the same thing now, with super hornets.
That was me standing next to him in the green jacket!
Awesome
That is awesome 👍
Thanks to you and your Dad for your service.
the "father-son job" i wanted
Great video, gosh Japan has beautiful landscape with Mountains, the Sea and green forests. Probably a hoot to see it from the cockpit
I've never seen video with such quality with the Tomcat having the main role. Great footage
Just browsing and came across this. Been in those Atsugi hangers and airfield but it's been a very long time. Atsugi was my favorite base overseas.
Love that every crew acknowledged the camera and gave a thumbs up!
Worked the hot pits at Iwo Jima with VA-115 in 1994. God I miss those days!!! Fantastic video!
F-14 Tomcat forever! Best of the best "Anytime Baby!"
Hello ! Really nice video ! 😃👍 Thanks for sharing.

Magnificent & awesome plane. No actually wicked fleet defense fighter!

VA-93 / CV-41 1986. Very interesting flying around there. Then VFA-25 /CV-64 1988-1990. I remember Flex in VF-21 (the Free Loaders)

Nice to see F-14's at Atsugi. Was there with VA-115 & VA-185.
Awesome!!
That F/14 104 was one that was used in TopGun

9.2 g pull up at .9 mach...GEEZ!! i bet that feels insane!!!
I remember the day they filmed this launch.
Looks like early 90s
It was. Late 94-95
OMG, I need the song at 16:29 please 😭
SoundHound couldn't find or a browser extension that listens to tabs...
Does anyone know??
1980s pr0n music hits volume 2, Track 69.

What’s the reason for the touch and go’s? Is for a failed carrier landing?
practice landing pattern/procedures. Lots of reps creates muscle memory when it comes to landing.
Tomcats are really the best!!! That's a mean bird!!!!
Prowlers forever.

I don't know what a NAF is in the Navy we call it Naval Air Station aka NAS.
Naval Air Facility - it's smaller than a Naval Air Station. Kind of like how we named installations in Iraq and Afghanistan based on size - Camp, FOB, COB, COS, COP, PB, etc.
Out of US, NAF. In US, NAS. The Airforce has AB (Air Base) outside US and AFB (Air Force Base) in US.
F-14 TOM CATは世界一美しい可変翼戦闘機です！！
Fighting 21. Freelancers forever, tomcats tomcats forever
The f-14 glazing is wild the aircraft isn’t that goof
It's the greatest airframe the Navy ever had
No it’s not the f18 was
@@tjtomcat1849 But you're wrong.
Stop glazing the tomcat just because you watched top gun doesn’t mean it’s the greatest airframe ever
@@tjtomcat1849 That's not the reason it's the greatest though.
That was sexy !!!

.. pourquoi les lumieres blanc en bout d'aile ne s'allume pas?
