F-14 Tomcat Demo @ 2002 MCAS Miramar Air Show

[soviet1956]

thumbs up if the F-14 is your favorite navy aircraft

[soviet1956]

I would rather see the F-14 fly again than the F-18

[soviet1956]

Why did the Navy have to take it out of service

[violinbubi]

the F14 was my first love...

[MajSolo]

Sorry, but it wasn't a great demo, if this is all it can do it won't survive a fight against a F16 or F15.

Lets just excuse it all by the pilot "holding back".

Check the F15C demo in avalon from Patrick. The best I ever saw almost 10 years ago and never sen anyhing better. Check out Patricks, he had a camera and he used it. ;D

[soviet1956]

best naval aircraft ever:)

A demo by an F-14D Super Tomcat was one of the most powerful displays I have ever seen in 40 years of attending airshows.

Those new engines with aprox. 14,000 lbs of total additional thrust rocked the world!

[flysupertomcat1]

@rampking1 One single GE-F110 has over 20,000 lbs of thrust

[rampking1]

@flysupertomcat1 Where did you get these thrust numbers from?

The original F-14A had P&W TF-30's which had only a little over 20,000 Lbs Thrust with afterburning.

Perhaps you are talking thrust without afterburner ??

I can look it up but I've believe max. thrust numbers were about 27,000 lbs per F110 engine.

[flysupertomcat1]

@rampking1 Yeah, I didn't check my resources I was just going from the top of my head. I did know that it was over 20K though :)

[rampking1]

@flysupertomcat1 Thanks, when I saw your channel name was flysupertomcat I was a little hesitant to say something....

Saw a F-14D rock the world at the Reno Air Races many years ago...awesome performance.

Went ballistic and into the clouds on take off....something you would never see in an F-14A.

[glazuna]

Just simply the best....

[SoccerBoy77]

Who was the pilot of this demo?

and LOVE the afterburner!!!

[spencerhughes2255]

I have no idea about the pilot...

[Fishingstyle101]

Amen Brother!!!

[2SLipo]

The F-14 Tomcat is still the most beautiful fighter jet I've ever seen.

[NickolaiVolkov]

@2SLipo Always loved having had the ability to see 'em fly whenever I wanted while on board the USS Constellation. NEVER got old - ever. :)

[ibravsha]

[KJDfan]

[f39eagle2]

[8081rt]

This is awesome! I wish I had my '04 footage at Nellis. Great vid.

[spencerhughes2255]

Thanks!

[Scott11078]

Great vid! I used to live in El-toro as a kid, went to all the airshows till 94.

[melissauhi]

Do you happen to know who the pilot was?

[spencerhughes2255]

No i don't...Sorry:/

[blewett76]

gotta love all those grumman cats from `41 to today!

[eldorkothegreat]

I was watching this very demo from the 15 freeway stuck in traffic. Last time I saw a Tomcat in action. :(

[CLK15]
