From a RAF Brit.... A fantastic combination of good music, a fine example of U.S engineering, long live the TOMCAT....! Good memories of my career, sometimes in the U.S....
Brilliant video, great music too. Awesome aircraft, awesome active career. A tribute to all the professional crews that worked with the mighty Tomcat. Purrrrrrrrrrrfect.
I really enjoyed this footage. I can't believe these great crews stay in the air for so long! Wow. I also liked to see the crews having a sense of humor and enjoying what they do. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!
number one Iran does not need us anymore to keep the f14's in the air they just made the parts themselves by reverse engineering it and plus we could always use different parts and second Cough Cough f35. if they have the money to make this failure of a plane than Uncle Sam should be able to give a bit of pocket change to the f14
God the F-14 was such a beautiful looking bird! Even 40-odd years after it was being designed it still look a million bucks (especially when compared to that horrible F-35)
At 03:44, the only evidence ever filmed that the Tomcat was actually... a three seater. Other than that, this video is absolutely superb. Good mix of humour, boring cruise sequences and down to earth action. Made by soldiers for soldiers. I totally bought it. Thanks!
A crew chief basically is the boss of an aircraft, its his plane and the pilot is just the person who flies it. Kind of like an armorer giving a soldier a gun, its the responsibility of the armorer as to what happens to that gun.
@@scottyweimuller6152 1, The Tomcat is from the 70s, but the video has D Tomcats, which are from the 90s. 2, Even the old Tomcats had very advanced autopilot systems, including Altitude hold, Ground track, Automatic carrier landing, and limited auto-trim.
@@scottyweimuller6152 yup even the f14B has autopilot systems, like the guy above me said. (I know because i fly the f14 as a professional licensed pilot in DCS..)
@@scottyweimuller6152 You obviously didn't google anything. Because moron the f-14 had/has autopilot. In fact if you had, you would know that autopilot was first demonstrated in France on June 18, 1914. Thank's for playing though.
Wall Stretcher JPSC not exactly... he had not really autopilot as it is understood today. The only thing he could do was to maintain the attitude of the flight. For example: u cant turn the HDG knob to turn the plane, but u can switch a button in the right moment of bank for mantein this grade of bank turn. Same thing for altitude, u cant insert a flight level value, u can just switch the button in the right moment of pitch (up or down) for mantein this attitude of flight
Loved the year I did at MCRD Marine Corp Base San Diego by Coronado Pacific Fleet based alot of their tonnage there. Then off to DaNang Plenty of F4 Phantoms flying tree top level and loud u could see black exhaust dropping down from behind and could tell they were tree top level slow airspeed
I was on the USS America CV-66. The first carrier to transit the Ditch aka the Sues Canal. It was stressful for the whole crew. We all had our jobs to do and all were done with practice and pride. We did the ditch!!

The Gruman F14 was the perfect plane for carrying huge payload with becoup automatic firepower coupled with the RIO pilot properly painting these early MIGS with state of the Art radar and saying hello from 2 or 3 miles or more . It was long over due since the Phantom ,F4 didn't cut the mustard. I started seeing these very fast and maneverable . I was n the Marines 71 saw these works of art showing up . Then came another carrier based fighter with plenty of Moxy. McDonald Douglas delivered n Spades. Great Planes and a great time to grow up. The F18 with 2 J30 turbo fans tremendous amount of thrust and Gs. This plane talked the talk and walked the walk
@@windshearahead7012 I agree with you... no one cares about DCS when you have this awesome footage.

Because we want watch the greatness of a fantastic aircraft. Not some noob playing a game. And as always, have a nice day.
Though the F-14 is retired, I still regard this fine aircraft as the torchbearer of naval aviation. The Tomcat, being able to carry a whopping load of firepower while being incredibly nimble was a true and proven workhorse without rival or peer. I loved everything Grumman Aircraft ever built, dating back to the F-4F Wildcat and the F-6F Hellcat of WWII. They were the hallmark of naval aviation even back then.
asparwhite86 in a video of the f-35 wrote here, this is big S ... Only Nortrop-Grumman is capable of producing military aircraft in USA. F-14 best an YF-23 bestest. And i am not fun of Americans

What a beautiful bird the F-14 is... IT is sad that it retired; but I guess it got old and the maintenance was getting a little crazy for it. I hope they are well-preserved in museums.
There are a lot of F-14s on display around the country. Most of them are on display outside of an aviation museums or at the main entrance of military installations. There are a few F14s that are inside museums and out of the elements. I'm not sure how long an aircraft can last outside in the elements just sitting there. But at least the F14s that are inside will be okay. it would of been nice if the government or a private company kept a couple of them in flying condition. to do demo flights at air shows that'd be cool to see one flying.
I agree. I think it is also bullshit how the F-14 is being replaced by obsolete jets like the Super Hornet, when the F-14 could have been given a modernization upgrade and would be cheaper and better than the F/A-18.
The Super Hornet isn't actually obsolete, but the A-C variants of the F/A-18 are. Let's also remember that the F-14 is a 40-year-old airframe and that upgrading avionics etc to provide capabilities for AIM-120D support etc is costly to develop and more costly to roll out.
I was armoured and drove recce because I didn’t have the brains to fly so I feathered the tillers of a piece of armour like I was flying a Tomcat. I wasn’t and I knew it but every time I climbed into the hatch and put on my crew guard and plugged in my headset and started the engine I imagined I was doing it in a Tomcat.

Being a young kid back then around the plane on the flight deck was very impressive I've around big machines in my life time and the TOMCAT beats em all

I was on, the last cruise of the f14. duck under the wings on your way to chow, every day. 64 ft of combat porn. Whats even better, is tying yourself to the railing on the port side slq 32 platform, at the end of cats 3 and 4... it drops with both engines literally in your face.... good times
I was born in Virginia Beach next to Oceana Air Base then moved to Baton Rouge then n the Marines 71 saw plenty of the F14s from Miramar east of Coronado I was at MCRD Base San Diego great days Bro

I love F-14s. Too bad they couldn't keep them in production and retain them in fleet service. They were the best part of any airshow.

I wish they would update the Tomcat and bring it back into service!
I wish they would sell them used to ordinary people for fun.
azerovc the reason they weren’t surplussed is because the F-14 is still operated by Iran and they don’t want them to get replacement parts.
It was too expensive to make. thats why it was never attempted.
