The F-14 was not only a fighter, it's an 80's icon, a legend in the skies and in that decade children and youngsters, a truly lifestyle. Long live the F-14 Tomcat!
I don't care what they come up with tomorrow. The Tomcat will always be the greatest fighter jet in the history of history.. If I could, I would buy one that is still together, and display it in my front yard!
People will never forget this plane. It's like the Wright Brothers. You just don't forget such legend. I bet you anything if you put it back in 20 years later you'll be beyond astonished by what it could do. Never forget!
Some disagreement: SecNav had his knees cut out from under him by Cheney and his pal, Rummy, who stopped F-14D production and natural upgrades. I don't "blame" the Super Hornet, but the F-14D had capabilities that are yet to be matched by the Super Hornet.
Thanks Tomcat you are beast for us,,, 150 hunt,, we lose just 5 Tomcat in war..! ( iran vs iraq ) this is awesome..! i love American aircraft,,and i love american people with my heart. my name is Cyrus. i'm from iran
Very happy to said the legendary F14 tomcat lives on in Iran , as before revolution SHAH(King) of Iran(Persia) supports Grumman to produce F14. best F14 pilot ever is an Iranian(Jalil Zandi) , also 11 hours flight with a F14 is registered for an Iranian pilot !(longest flight with a fighter at all) and also killed 3 Iraqi fighter with just 1 Phoenix missile !! are all of these come easy ? i don't think so and i'm pretty sure you won't all these subjects are verified and you can easily search about them Legends never die , F14 best fighter ever built Thank you
NAAAIIICE.. The dopest fighter ever.. There are faster, more reliable, and more advance fighters out there but NONE are as sexy and as cool as the Big Cat. I spent about 8 hours with the #105 from VF-31 that's in the 2 shot at the 5:07 mark. It's on display in Lakeland Florida. Awesome to see it in flight. Great job my boy.. FIGHT'S ON!!
i cant belive they could stopped using a fighter like this, it can whipe out a whole mig-29 squadron, i've always wnated to fly one them when become a pilot but now is fucked up.
After you have been flying the F.14 what more does a pilot want !!Great aircraft ...since TOP GUN i had a dream to fly an F.14 and still is a dream .Nice video ciao
@SuperHornetTV Ummm. As a submariner that was serving during that time I'm going to have to call shenanigans on that one. It was Dick Cheney, plain and simple. The NAVY was pushing the Tomcat XIX at the time. Dick was pushing the Super Hornet. Not that it isn't a fine plane in it's own right. But it was no replacement for the Tomcat. The fact that the NAVY is already talking about replacing the SH is substantive enough considering that the Tomcat ran for 32 years of service.
Ladies and gentleman, The F-14 Tomcat...another victim of the cheney/bush cabal. The Tomcat was more than a superb fighter. It was a symbol of American ingenuity. The sad truth is that we are a morally bankrupt nation in decline. We care more about telling people what god they can believe in, what color a person is and who can get married. The lunatics are running the asylum. Awesome video. It has been "favorited."
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. Farewell Almighty F-14 Tomcat. I really miss you and wish that you were here in Australia. I love you too much and can't stop thinking about you. Serve Iran well and farewell. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
one they fix the engine issues it was having ion it's early yrs it really began to shine and become one of the greatest if not the greatest fighter ever built in the US but that's my opinion
@kempmt1 Iranian still fly on their CATS. IRIAF have 60 cats in very good condition..... if i have millinos of dollars i by one cat and put in my big bedroom, and when i wake up in the morning first ill se it CAT
I don't care how old this aircraft is I demand that it joins the Australian Navy because I love it and never will love the hornet and I also want to see this amazing aircraft in real life. I understand that the hornet may be a little more agile but the Grumman F-14 Tomcat is actually faster than the hornet despite the size difference between the two aircraft. I also demand that Grumman builds more F-14 Tomcats because in my opinion 712 is not enough. I just wish that more than 712 were built because I love this amazing aircraft too much and will never stop loving it for the rest of my life.
It's a shame that the Iranians still have Tomcats, but I'm not sure if they're still flying. And it upsets me that the Navy replaces the Tomcat with a bombtruck (F/A-18E).
F14 forever navy needs f14 back it the only plane today that has the legs to go the distance and get back thank to Cheney. The new tomcat 21 was going to be great more power just great still under 70 million not 200 to 300 million and can't go any where Cheney how is the f18 doing the go no where jet no legs we the real Grummman people know who has the best f14 ea6b E2C/D if the navy needs to put the planes back on the aircraft carrier we will come back and do it so we can sleep at night send out the call we Grumman will make it happen f14 Grumman plane forever Grumman Knight forever I'm ready f14 p/c country flag and the navy
I know that this comment is older than prehistoric times, but I'd like to tell you some good news by correcting you: The F-14 also scored numerous kills (around 50, IIRC) with the IRIAF (Iranian Air Force).For these kills, every missile the Tomcat could use (including AIM-54s) were employed.
The F-14 was not only a fighter, it's an 80's icon, a legend in the skies and in that decade children and youngsters, a truly lifestyle.
Long live the F-14 Tomcat!

6:20 that is F-15 ;- ]
The F-14 was the real star of Top Gun. U.S. Navy 1982-1986. U.S.S. Lexington.
Never get tired of looking at her.
The sad thing is there will never be another aircraft like this one again she was and always will be one of a kind
former mechanic for VF-142 the ghostriders thank you for this vid
BRING HER BACK!!!!!
Some disagreement: SecNav had his knees cut out from under him by Cheney and his pal, Rummy, who stopped F-14D production and natural upgrades. I don't "blame" the Super Hornet, but the F-14D had capabilities that are yet to be matched by the Super Hornet.
Tomcat=awesome. period. She only has 4 kills, but that is because people saw it RADAR and we're like, "Fuck this shit, I'm gettin outta here!"
Granted she was a paint to maintain however if you asked anyone whoever worked on her they would tell u they wouldn't have traded it for the world
the best and the most beautiful things ever flown.
God i want 'em back :'(
6:16min is a F-15 Eagle.
I´ve been told that many former F-14 pilots that fly F 18 Hornets now, miss their Tomcat very mutch.
it has a heart and it still is a beauty and i love it i would buy all of them if i could
Thanks Tomcat you are beast for us,,, 150 hunt,, we lose just 5 Tomcat in war..! ( iran vs iraq ) this is awesome..!
i love American aircraft,,and i love american people with my heart.

Legends never die , F14 best fighter ever built
Thank you
1200 models total were made dam i miss flying this thing

okay why is there a F-15 STRIKE EAGLE at 6:19 ? thats not a F-14 ha
Close.. It was Chaney..He ordered Northrop/Grumman to destroy all of the Tomcat molds.
i cant belive they could stopped using a fighter like this, it can whipe out a whole mig-29 squadron, i've always wnated to fly one them when become a pilot but now is fucked up.
I miss the F-14 :o(

@Skybolter Sure! Just as soon as they bring back the F4 Phantom.

i love it because it is the only jet fighter that it was not lose in any dogfight in the years of the cold war
80s.. moving on the 90s :(
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. Farewell Almighty F-14 Tomcat. I really miss you and wish that you were here in Australia. I love you too much and can't stop thinking about you. Serve Iran well and farewell. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
@Skybolter how? they understood the capability of the f14 and decided not to retire it unlike the us navy
one they fix the engine issues it was having ion it's early yrs it really began to shine and become one of the greatest if not the greatest fighter ever built in the US but that's my opinion
@Fishingstyle101 i felt the same that day
@Leeanmarjon agree with you, the most beautiful machine ever made
@kempmt1 Iranian still fly on their CATS. IRIAF have 60 cats in very good condition.....
if i have millinos of dollars i by one cat and put in my big bedroom, and when i wake up in the morning first ill se it CAT
good job with the theme song of top gun
Cool plane!... Iran has seen plenty of combat action with the F14 read: Iranian F14 Tomcat Units in Combat (Osprey Publishing) 👍✈️
sorry friend but we have to accept the bad thing in the end
now i love the Su-30 MK but i love the f-14 more
Thanks for a run down memory lane. This crafts life span was way to short
@Skybolter it is... just in the hands of the Iranian air force
I WISH TO SEE THE F-14 BACK TO LIFE
f-14 tomcat is one of my favorite jet fighter of all because that's the best jet fighter ever
A pain
Good Bye! old friends RIP, you'll be gone, but never forgotten
I don't care how old this aircraft is I demand that it joins the Australian Navy because I love it and never will love the hornet and I also want to see this amazing aircraft in real life.

F14... Bring that stuff.
Tower this is ghost rider requesting a flyby
Negative Ghost Rider the pattern is full.
@CalintzJerevian gives me chills. America was at her peak then! I am so sad today at the status of our country! How did it get so bad so quick?
I have one thing to say well done baby
@nintndogameplayer56 THAT THE F-14 IS OPERATED BY IRANIANS, THAT SUCKS
My favorite.... no other
@Skybolter whats bullshit?
It's a shame that the Iranians still have Tomcats, but I'm not sure if they're still flying. And it upsets me that the Navy replaces the Tomcat with a bombtruck (F/A-18E).
Right on!! You said it best!!
Once
