Naval aircraft get punished. Thats why all the "Cats" are known to be "Grumman Iron works". It was Prs. Bill Cliton and his congress that killed the F14D program. Now Grumman only makes trucks. ..with forieng parts. There has always been a Grumman bilt aircraft on the flightdeck.
Hey guys i found a tomcat 3 miles away from my house and it had a landing gear failure and took a belly landing. But they fixed the gear and it sitting at the aboned airport still . if any one wants pics let me know.
Nice vid! Thanks for posting. I really miss this jet. Wish I could go back to the day I checked into VF-74 and do it all over again. I miss the flight deck! My wife doesn't miss the deployments, but I do! Flight deck troubleshooter is the GREATEST job in the Navy!!! So glad I chose to be an airframer!
@jm431 At some point, every jet reaches its lifespan limit. Too much fatigue, wear and tear on the airframe. A fighter jet isn't meant to last more than 25-30 years.
Thanks for uploading this video. I'm watching it again and again. Makes me feel the need, the need for speed ! I want the Tomcat to be back in the sky !
damn! it's about 1 year i don't see this video and now i watched it again and ... damn, in some pats is totally different! did you edit it or is it just my impression?
Been obsessesed with Tomcats since I was kid. Made so many models, have a metal replica, books, squadron insignia, you name it. This vid is a keeper! Nice work.
even though the f-18 hornet is more sophisticated than the f-14 tomcat, and therefore will replace it, there's no plane that will ever take the same place in history that the tomcat did. It will be missed.
For sure man, thats for DAMN sure. The Tomcat is unlike any other, the f14 may be old but in history it is far superior than all others. end of story.
F14Dits the most capable fighter not the F18 nor the F18E/F.the f14 was just to expensive an dificult to mantain an even so the airframe was geting to old bla bla bla.the f18 it`s just the newest airplane but that doesent mind more capable.
hey, just a reminder: the f-14 is an interceptor, not a dogfighter. the f-14 D is a variant which has more powerful engines, and therefore, can exceed speeds up to mach 2.4, but that doesn't mean it's the best fighter around. the f-14 is a fighter designed to attack enemies at a distance, whereas the f-18 is a dogfighter, in terms of air to air combat.
F-14 is very nice form and body!!

See, the Navy doesn't need the F-14 anymore. All they have to do is play this music over any guard frequency, and the bandits will crash themselves.
