Sorry for the jittery/shaky cam. I didn't realize it until after the fact (and no one mentioned it in the stream) but I guess OBS was hanging up slightly and having issues rendering. A thousand apologies. Will do better next time (although sadly not in part TWO because it's the same session). Had a blast flying the TOMCAT.
Don't worry mate i mean it's better than nothing am i right?
For sure. And I decided to use it and not delete it because it was my very first reaction and I didn't want it to be fake/forced. I really did enjoy flying it and checking it out for the first time. Plus, Ray is hilarious!
@@CWLemoine yeah i don't really like RUclipsrs that just 'Fake' There vids
You were just excited to see Penny😉
Ray sounds WAY to relaxed to be your RIO! You need someone who sounds like Chris Farley, trying to light his hair on fire😁😁👍
Rio: "This aircraft requires smooth inputs and finesse."
Mover: *Over-Gs at 600 kts* "TOMCATS!"
SWATKATS
Oh yeah. Easy to rip the wings off a Tomcat.
I’m laughing just thinking that the original pilots flew around randomly proclaiming TOMCAT.
just at the fancy restaurants where the waitresses were smoking hot. queue up zz-top's "she's got legs"
And had a projection of the chat window on the inside of the cockpit, where everyone watching would also type TOMCAT at random intervals.
Instead, when our friends asking "what are u guys gonna fly today?" ,we usually yelling, "F14 Tomcruise!!!" rotfl.
Apparently it's like a deadman's switch.
If you don't say TOMCATS at least once every 10 minutes, every system shuts down.
@@TheVleckChannel Rotfl so true!!! The best moment when both of you and ur wingman/rio to yell it after winning the dogfight.
"I sense the need for...."
"(both)TOMCAAATT!!"
33 minutes of Top Gun references and Tomcat tomfoolery.
I love it.
TOMCATS!
We find that the F-14 flat spin was induced by the disruption of airflow into the starboard engine. This disruption stalled the engine. Which produced enough yaw rate to induce a spin which was unrecoverable. There was no way Lt. Mover could either see or avoid the jet wash which produced the engine stall. Therefore the board of inquiry finds Lt. Mover is not at fault. His record will be cleared of this incident. Lt. Mover is returned to flight status without further delay!
Oh wow Angry Drill Sgt has family on here?

@@breemangaming6948 whoosh
I think this is how goose died in top gun, it looked like he said he lost engines, but then he also loath the other ones, so can the flat spin because just by a few seconds without an engine, or is it that after losing the second engine it will stop the spin?
@@emanueleg.4106 Mate, he's literally quoting the Top Gun script, try to keep up...
Lmao...you guys need a weekly show flying together in this
This! Yes pleas!
They'd make flying a 747 funny lol
"Tuesday Tryouts" with Mover and VTB_Ray! Tryout a new aircraft, or new adventure!
I second this, and third it. I could watch the two of you fly all night. You are an excellent Pilot sir, the best there is. EASY with it.
That flat spin recovery was primo teamwork. You guys are two peas in a pod in the Tomcat
"Sir, I'm already task saturated . . ." Pretty much me every time I boot up DCS.
Ain't that the truth! I love it though. I can spend 10-15 minutes trying to remember all of the startup checklist items and that will sometimes be as satisfying as actually flying. When I get it right of course. Lol
"steep learning curve" really doesnt do it justice !! I think im now learning, purely through ptsd 😂
Shift R sir. Keep at it, you'll end up getting 4 Mig29s in the F16 and FA18 after this video motivated me to learn it.
In 1988 I was 13 years old and living just outside San Diego, for a short while, and my neighbor was an instructor at Miramar. I think the instructions name was Mike. Well Mike pulled his Ford Bronco out his garage one day and asked his son if he wanted to go to the base with him. I was so jealous and stunned when his son said no! Then Mike turned to me and asked if I wanted to go with him 😲 I had to ask my parents permission but that didn't take long! I had one of the most memorable days of my life!
I remember us driving down a road inside the base and there was a manhole in the road with wisps of steam or something rising out of it! Then we parked and walk towards the jets with the hanger on my left. There was some training jet to my left that was white and red and looked like a pregnant guppy. There were some "training" missiles on some trolleys there too, must have been sidewinders and I was convinced that they weren't training missiles, they were real!!!
We went inside the empty hanger and went upstairs. We went into a room that had pictures of some Russian jets on the walls and a picture of Gorbachev I think. Maybe a Russian flag?
Then we went back downstairs and outside where I walked up some stairs next to an F14 and did my best to look inside! Oh my hat I was in heaven! But the best was yet to come!
Next we walked out onto the runway and stood out in the open. Mike had a radio that he was using to talk to someone, that someone was one of the guys flying one of the several F14's that I could see making a right turn to line up with the runway! I remember the soot out the jets as the pilots adjusted speed but the best was when they did their touch and go only a few meters away from me and hit the afterburners!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The flames out the back of the jets engines were blue with a bit of orange in it and the noise was so loud I thought the atoms in my body were going to fly apart!!!!!!
What an amazing experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My family came back to South Africa after 3 months in the USA but I will NEVER forget that trip to the base to watch the F14 Tomcats!
Next bucket list thing is to watch a rocket launch... I'm sad I'm going to miss SpaceX's launch next week but i'm sure it's just the first of many launches.
🇿🇦 SA!
Lucky
Ey a fellow South African
@@user-is2nn8mc9q oh boy, you bet!!
Dammit I'm jelly.
WE GOT MOVER IN THE PAPA TOMCAT MY DREAMS ARE COMPLETE.
I'm not a pilot. I'm not in the military. Why do I love this channel so much? I can't get to work in the morning until I watch a couple of these videos. Love the random words just before takeoff. LOL
To me it is a genuine first-hand, experience-based knowledge delivered in engaging and easy to understand way.
Tbh I do not really watch Mover flying...usually im doing something else but i listen to his one liners and witty banter.
So wait...the squiggly lines don't matter on the take off procedure?
they were freestyling but most were real calls
I am a sim pilot... do I count as one???
"Well, there's a lot less sound now."
I'm dead. OMG I haven't laughed that hard since I was a little girl.
The comments from the back were hilarious. This might be the best episode yet.
This is some of the most hilarious content on this website. I lost it when ray said "the gun must be misaligned sir"
“Your g meter is down on your bottom right”
“Oh yeah you mean the one that says 9 I’m just gonna go ahead and punch that off”
"We're not gonna tell maintenance" I nearly cried
So THATS why the tomcat required so much maintenance per flight hour 🤣
"Are you looking straight up", Rio: "What? No" . i dont know why but it got me lol
“A good Rio keeps his mouth shut”
The VR pilot's movement just matches beautifully with the dialogue. I just burst out laughing everytime
This had me dieing as well 😂😂
“No, no. Nothing to see up there. Nobody in an F-5 painted black flipping us off. But don’t look anyway.”
Yeah I heard that and almost choked to death on my drink.
That is neat. My father in law worked on the Tomcat on board the Nimitz. As a mechanic, he hated it tho. He said that nothing on it was simple and absolutely everything was complicated and took a very long time to work on.
Truth! But damn it was an awesome jet!
@@toddie4usa1 Agreed
My father served on the Nimitz as well. ASW in HS-9 Sea Griffin.
I worked on legacy and Super Hornets with a bunch of prior F-14 maintainers. They hated working on that bird. They said they would have to create tools by using duct tape to get to bolts.
Daniel Dunlap Exactly. He worked on both the Tomcat and the F-18. He said that changing a hydraulic line on the F-14 took three times as long as those on the F-18. It is still a very cool jet but I wouldn’t want to work on it.
Great video, a buddy of mine I have known since our early twenties and I who are both retired pilots and in our late 60's fly like this on DCS. Sounds about the same with our conversations, laughing and screwups. Pilots bodies grow old but their mind's are still in their twenties. Fun to watch.
Best part, ejection with no notice...I could only imagine.. (parachuting down) RIO: “that was a fine display of flying sir” lol
Video starts with an actual flat-spin out to sea, with Mover directly quoting Top Gun. Never change Mover, never change. Your pilot shenanigans always make me a happy man.
I nursed out laughing when he reset the g-meter and said he wouldn’t tell maintenance. This is aviation life!
"Your G-meter is bottom right" - "Oh, that one that says 9?" haha!
My Grandfather was on the team from Grumman that designed and built the F14. You could tell from listening to him talk about it that it was something special. The F14 IMHO is a beautiful piece of art work.
Rio: I've got a daughter here, I've never met her. And um, I'm going to orphan her today" *in a calm voice* 🤣🤣🤣
Why will she be orphaned, what the hell did you do to her momma?
@@bjlewis5431 not me. That was what the guy said in the video during the tailspin. And it was a reference to the movie Top Gun. Goose died in a crash from a tailspin and he had a daughter.
@@ruinaar2495
It's OK mate, I knew all that, I was jesting.. being facetious..in an attempt at humour.
Oh, and Goose had a son..
It was Cougar that had the baby daughter, that he was so scared of 'orphaning' before he'd ever even seen her..
Which always made me wonder what happened to his wife, in the photo, and hence why I asked that question..
A child is only truly orphaned when both parents are lost, not just one.
So cougar's line in Top Gun, where he gets asked what's on his mind, he says:
"My wife & Daughter, sir..I almost orphaned her today, and I've never even seen her.."
This conclusion is both fallacious, and poor english, if the girl's mother, Cougar's wife, is still alive and caring for her, she's not truly 'orphaned' even if Cougar had been killed that day.
I think it was just a device used by the script writers for the movie to very simply & easily explain Cougar's concerns, and his earlier mental state & fear, without needing lots of extra weighty dialogue & scenes..
And in that regard it worked well,
I can forgive it.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Cheers! 🍻
"We are ACTUALLY in a flat spin headed out to sea". Perfect.
Can't believe Ray didn't hit you with "We've got no fuel for this."
Must say I am extremely impressed with the detail of that cockpit. I was a Tomcat mechanic for many years until they were unfortunately decommissioned. Spent many hours in the cockpit performing maintenance turns and that detail is spot on. Great job Major, always a pleasure to watch your videos. TOMCATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That actually sounds pretty awesome. if you can elaborate a little bit, I'd love to hear more. Did you guys had to do OBCs in the cockpit? Or you had some kind of other gear to test the systems with?
“How do I flip you off ?” 10/10 for realism 👍🏻👍🏻🤣
idea for some folds of honor fund raising: raffle to win a dog fight with mover in DCS
Mover and Ray in a Tomcat
To have mover as a rio
Mover vs The Grim Reapers
I loved this video. Just the sheer amount of TOP GUN references shows that these guys spent large part of their childhood watching TOP GUN over and over again, just like I did. LOVED it!!
Thanks for a great channel, Lemoine. Nice to see you have a good mix of informative videos (I have learned a lot) and entertaining ones. Keep up the good work!
LOL i lost it when after all of their tongue in cheek top gun references they get in a literal flat spin out to sea. This is great.
"RIOs keep their mouth shut back there" "Pilots get randomly ejected up front."
"You just have to make sure the bullets hit him." Best advise ever.
I was totally expecting you to yell out Tomcats as you ejected from the aircraft lmao.
“A good RIO just keeps his mouth shut back there.” Lol
"My helmet has more traps than you!"
Yep, that made me giggle like a loon. While at the office, so now my boss is looking at me with the "wtf are you doing?"-look :P
Worth it!
"you gotta let him go sir" saddest moment in the entire movie
Bro that shit still makes me cry to this day.
I refused to watch that part for a few times but now I've seen alot of video from the wars and some some odd reason I still want to fly a fighter. Even if it's not a tomcat. A Mustang would be surreal.
'Talk to me Goose'
“Roger i got them on radar 200 hundred miles closure”
Peace was never an option, Mav
*ejects*
love how he goes to the end of the runway and then tries to squat the tomcat into the vertical like a hornet lol
If you don't get in a flat spin on your first TOMCAT flight, you're not doing it right. 😅 Great video Mover.
True, True.
Permission to buzz the tower?
Harry Eames || negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.
@@LabiuhCrusader No, no Mav, this is not a good idea!
@@pineli6752 Sorry Goose but its time to buzz the Tower!
@@chickentakeover2076 *Tomcat buzzes tower*
"God Damn! Son of a bitch!"
You and Goose get your butts outta that flight gear and up to Viper's office now.
The F14 is just a big ol’ beautiful beast. It really is a large aircraft.
It’s kind of like the Cadillac of road cars. Just a classic that always looks good and rides good. 😁
Court Martial and FAA inquiry: "Why did you run off the runway?"
Tomcats!
😂😂😂😂
“Is that an boat over there”
“We can make it”
“I’m going to start the ditching checklist...”
"Oh, i think we're good...I'm gonna go ahead and run the ditching checklist..."
Best video so far Mover! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Enjoyed this one a lot Mover. As Ray said; definitely one of the more ‘alive’ modules in DCS. A tonne of fun to boot
Analogue as hell for sure
Tomcats!
Oh you're here
He is the best Rio ever. Ray has such a calming voice right before you die.
I stopped the video to like and comment. The first five minutes are pure gold for 80s kids. You sir are a true Kenny Powers level American 🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸
Oh my gosh that was so funny! You two ought do this team piloting all the time, I've not laughed so hard in weeks! Your GTA video is just priceless!
Tomcats! This was a fun one to watch. Thanks for the vids, Mover!
Man, DCS has gotten so much better over 2 years
I'm calling it Kuh-nots from now on, thank you :D
Kuhkniff is finally not alone anymore.
I would have spelled it canots, but yeah :D
Better than GB-12... ^^
3 minutes in and, ''Can we bomb the motorcycle?'' pops up. Knew this would be fun :)
"I'm just going to eat my sandwich back here, remember, land parallel to swells or into the wind."
This is hands down my favorite DCS youtube video.
6:22 "GET R DONE!!!" and hits the throttle. Love that part. Sounds like it would be great battle cry.
For flat spin recovery I'm usually using asymmetrical thrust, and rudder :) BTW Tomcat is not an easy lover, she is very powerful, but headstrong. At low speed if you are not handle her with care, she is going to the opposite direction haha
*Pilot pulls 9g* RIO - Sir, I’m after spilling my coffee back here! 😅
He finally flew it! The mighty f14!! Heatblur did an amazing job on this module, my favourite by far!
Pukin' Dogs! My Dad was a Tomcat RIO in that squadron back in the early '80s. Awesome.
Say “Tomcats” again. I double dare you.
TOMCATS!
C.W. Lemoine lmao
T O M C A A A A A A A A T S
TOOOOMCAAAAAATTTSS!!!
@@CWLemoine TOMCATS
RIO "Sir you can over g the aircraft, and the wings will separate"
MOVER "Well, the night is young"
Your most entertaining DCS video to date (by far). Good stuff.
lmao "should we jettison the air craft?" That was the funnier DCS video by now! TOMCAT!
"This Hud is in Spanish!". LoLs "Wait wait, you just fired 2!". "Ya, well, he'll die".
"What did you learn about the F-14 today?"
*TOMCATS!*
C. W. LeTOMCATS is a great teacher.
I joined the Navy shortly after TG came out. After doing two Wes Pacs aboard the Carl Vinson and Ranger I got "bored" with seeing, hearing, smelling and feeling Tomcats. The Navy was in a real transitional phase so at any given time we'd have F-14's, the "new" F/A -18, A6, EA6B, A7, S3, Hawkeye, COD, CH46, HH-70's, "Desert Ducks"(CH-53E's) and probably a couple more I missed. Even had an old hangar queen F4 Phantom for the crash/deck crew to practice with(shell only). Even had a C9 do a shit hot one day while out near "Santa Clause"(San Nicolas) island one day. On a carrier, the fwd mess is almost directly under Cat II. So everytime someone was shot you'd hear the shuttle. Out in the fleet, the Tomcat was nicknamed the "Turkey" because when you see them in the groove, you can really see those big control surfaces flapping around...as well as the long straight wing. Last time I saw one was at Oshkosh about 15 years or so ago. Capt Dale "Snort" Snodgrass was doing the airshow demo and a form flight with a P-51 and an F4U Corsair IIRC.
Mover. This is so funny. I've watched it 3 times now and laughed every time. I'm waiting eagerly for part 2.
"you can stop talking now, its time for pilot stuff" "oh im sorry sir" LOL
Also did you just call Mover Mavlet?
Yeah, it's an entirely different kitty than an F-18 or F-16: there are no computers that point the jet where you point the stick at for you. That, together with her mass, huge sweeping wings and those top spoilers, make it an art to keep her in the envelope. But, if you can master her, and learn to take advantage of the bucket loads of thrust you have at your disposal, she's hard to beat in a dog fight. ;-)
There are a lot of f15 pilots that will refuse to admit you are correct ;)
Completely unnecessary flame war begins.......
Now!!
The f14 and f15 wargamed against eachother often during the cold war with one of the 2 pretending to be migs with a whole host of requirements and restrictions. So a straight comparison between the 2 almost certainly can not be used from the results of these war games blah blah blah. Both are absolutely amazing aircraft :).
@@martinsharrett1872 Well, as with most match-ups, the determining factor is, who's at the stick. ;-) The Eagle is definitely also a great platform and absolutely deadly in the right hands. Though, with those huge wings out and great thrust, the F-14 has an awesome ability to stay in the kill zone at lower speeds and also has the power and swept wing config to extend... It's a close match so, like I said, it's down to who's at the stick. :-)
That was one HECK of a recovery out of that flat spin....I know DCS does its level best to be as real as it can with physics compared to the real world.....sooooo....as far as THAT is concerned that was one HECK a recovery, Mover! :)
I admire your hard work that allowed to fly without any hands. That’s some dedication and it’s inspiring!
I love flying that aircraft and once you learn it I has the potential of being the best air superiority fighter in dcs and it can be so fun having a radar intercept officer in the back working everything
I am waiting for Dale "Snot" Snodgrass to come in as the pilot. He was the commander of all 714 Tomcats on the east and west coast. He also has what a lot of people called the greatest F-14 photo ever taken. There are plenty of videos here on RUclips of him along with that pass and the video it came from. The single greatest fighter pilot of my lifetime. Google images also has that famous photo.
TheJer1963 Wasn’t his call sign “Snort”? Lol
0:20
Man Im no expert but at that point id probably eject and say peace out suckers.
ChickenTakeover that’s how we lost Goose...
@@jonathanknight89 ruclips.net/video/yZKRkAKVyig/видео.html
Better idea move the wings to full sweep so the nose drops and the tomcat pulls itself out the spin
@@brycepeterson1969 i believe youre supposed to have opposite rudder and pull back on the stick
@@brycepeterson1969 that won't do much, it doesn't affect the CG enough to make a difference, nor does it provide additional rudder authority.
I lost my officer scholarship as it turns out I was colourblind. Never got to fly, despite it being my dream from childhood. This channel is great and gives me a glimpse of what I would have experienced. Thanks. :)
Keeping the bandits in your sights looked like Vader trying to keep the X-Wings on the crosshairs haha
TOMCATS! LOL
“Can we bomb the motorcycles?”
Down a shot everytime they say "Tomcats!". Its actually quite scary how many one liners they know from the movie!
That was awesome guys. Great recovery from that flat spin. Love the channel "Mover".
F-14, best DCS experience. Period.
you have so gotta 'buzz' the tower...
Yeah, right after his high speed pass over Penny Benjamin, (Admiral's daughter) whom Mover was asking after, during his taxi out..
Priorities, mate..
First the hot girl gets her skirt blown up by a little Delta V, then the tower gets theirs, on the way back in..
This is the unwritten law of the lore.
I'm in tears. "You think he'll do RESCAP?" Literally the entire video I couldn't breathe from laughing so hard.
TOMCATS!
That was some dope content.....Ray is definitely the best guy out there for playin' DCS with...
This happend when a Hornet Driver try´s to fly the Mighty Cat ;-)
CW wouldve made a an excellent turkey pilot he has " the right stuff" 😆
TOM-CAT!
16:55 nothing wrong with the gun dude, you didnt have radar lock so no radar gunsight, youre using old school aiming lol
ps theres 3 pilot lock modes,
vsl vertical scan low youll see the diamond scan vertically (not with guns selescted though so select winders if you want to see it) something like -10 degrees to + 30-40 degrees cant remember exactly but youll see it.
vsh vert scan high, the diamond will be off the top of the hud so you wont see it.
pal (forgot the name lol) this scans horizontally, youll see it.
when you get the lock and switch to guns, when youre close enough you just put the thing on the thing and press the pew pew button
@@Scoobydcs PAL is pilot auto lock-on and will scan to first thing it sees within 5 miles I think, and then you forgot PLM (PIlot lock-on mode) which is used by the pilot to lock on targets that are on the ADL
@@Uollie plm was the horizontal mode i was talking about
Heheheh GREAT BALLS OF FIRE! Reminds me of a time when I went to go visit the USS Hornet. They had a Tomcat on display at the time and I remember me just in awe touching every part of it. And as a 8-9 yo boy I was given the chance to sit in the pilot seat. And since I was a tiny boy I couldn’t see out of the canopy. BUT BOY! It was such an awesome day. Not sure if the tomcat is still on display there but I wanna go see him again and relive the experience~
Comedy value of it is huge !!! I would suggest to keep this like it is :) Too much fun ...
Dude, I think the Tomcat is still the coolest looking jet. I really enjoyed this
“Wait you fired two!”
Mover: “Well, they’ll die.”😀👍🏼
Rio: I just want to get home to my kids
Mover: TOMCATS - FLAT SPIN
Rio: ooooo-Kay
To the RIO: Great sounds effects. "Uhh..I spilled my coffee.."
Definitely one of the best modules in the game. Heard some great stories about the Tomcat during a 50th Anniversary Facebook live event, one RIO describing a 65K foot climb using the Rutowski method by the pilot, where they hit mach 2.2.
Oh man, this is still the best looking and best feeling module in DCS. Especially in VR. Glad to see you having fun with it! And don't forget, that's 5 bucks fine for every Top Gun reference!!! :D
That was so funny and enjoyable to watch look forward of more.
LMAO...You made him squirm so much. It was like a sitcom. good stuff.
C.W., You can't be my wing man, anytime. :) "I think we're out of engine" That gave me a good laugh, so thank you for that.
8:03 "Are you looking straight up?"
"Huh?...No! no no no" 😂 😂 😂
right?! that was top. Rio was sleeping.
Looked like he was sleeping
That was my favorite part as well.
And then when busted hung the head in shame. Lmao
Best 'front seat/other guy' chatter!! Had me grinning from ear to ear😁
Mover would have had an incredible time flying the tomcat if he had been born 20 years earlier. Nice video.
