Film shows A-4T's doing 2 ship tactical turns. No F-14's, no ACM per se. Roughly equivalent to what we learned in basic: when a formation turns, the inside columns slow down to allow the outer columns maintain formation without double-timing.
Well, you could always become a slouchy pilot. Man that repertoire is way looser than the army stuff of the era. Its a different animal. You can read it in the books about air to air combat too. The way how they do things. They sure did have some great achievements, and you would not want to go into battle without them during the Vietnam war, especially without the supportive fires you would have with artillery. With helicopter insertions, your only fire support is these air force pilots, and maybe some mortars you can carry with you in the helicopters. You would be out of range from artillery fires like 15 miles beyond the line of contact (front line), or firebases if you were to use Vietnam as an example. For extended engagements, the only real option is these fighter bombers and calling in supportive fires on the radio. Really cool material! Thank you for sharing! Greetings, Jeff
Technically, there were some F-14s at the beginning but yeah, overall it was using the A-4. However, the maneuvers were so basic that they are not specific to a particular aircraft.
TA-4E . A TrainingHawk distilled of most combat black boxes, and deprived of int guns. Skyhawk family has got to be the most cultish tactical aircraft, short of Spitfire.
Periscope Film, your digitized version of this film is poor at best. I'm surprised you're selling this video version with all the film projection issues not fixed. You should reconsider taking the original film to a professional film transfer house to have those issues corrected. They *should scan each film frame, thus negating the film projection errors, also each frame scan would need color correcting and refilling of missing image data. Otherwise, you end up looking like amateurs with this current release.
This film was scanned in 2010 on a Sniper-16HD, not the best piece of equipment in the world but at least had 1080i resolution. However since 2014 we have been scanning (and re-scanning) films from our archive on a LaserGraphics ScanStation in HD, 2K and 4K. Films scanned on the newer equipment end in "2" and "4" digits respectively, and you will find their audio and visual quality is much improved.
You are following the aircraft in front of you turn for turn with no deviations. Almost like both are attached by wires and doing the same thing. If you are out of phase you won’t be able to get a gun solution.
PeriscopeFilm propably does not undestand the terminology or did not watch the video himself.. This episode is TACTICAL FORMATION of Air Combat Maneuvering series. There was nothing of combat nature in the video. Misleading title with F-14 additive to attract more viewers.

Cool! In the first shot, there's F14, A5, A6, A7, and F4.

Nice pr0n soundtrack. The Navy was groooovvvvyyy back then.
Cool vid... we operated A-4 Skyhawks with our RNZAF.. thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿
This has Cpt. Thatch(USN) flavor , on those tactics.
"Do not stall or depart the aircraft to ensure a kill for the bogey.." I detect sarcasm..

amazing and instructional video, thanks for sharing.
Top Gun MAVERICK brought me here.
I hope you can find the tape that goes more into working the Loose Deuce

Background music is soo groovy
Loose deuce revolver was my problem solver. Had a def girl; didn't want to involve her in the life of a gangster.
Ok, Ok, I did see one Tomcat on the deck of a carrier. But I thought too that could be the ship's cat or something.
Suggest you change the title ... remove F14 Tomcat and replace with A4 Skyhawk ... anyone that knows US Navy jets can pick this glaring error.
I can smell this video
Why wouldn't they teach this in High School?
"do not depart the aircraft" lmao

...TA-4J Skyhawks not F-14 Tomcats...
I'M INSAINE AS WELL
This video has not aged well.
What does it mean to be "in phase"?
You are following the aircraft in front of you turn for turn with no deviations. Almost like both are attached by wires and doing the same thing. If you are out of phase you won’t be able to get a gun solution.
I have no choice
Dcs anyone😁
