Like the Grumman Cats before, the F-14's Legacy will live forever and her mark on history has been made. It will never be forgotten. They now join the F4F Wildcat and the F6F Hellcat in being the most ferocious and legendary Air Superiority Fighters the world has known. Long live the Cats! Anytime Baby.
The actual last flight of the F-14 Tomcat in U.S. service took place 4 October 2006, when an F-14D of VF-31 was ferried from Oceana to Republic Airport on Long Island, NY
i think they should have just made it a land based aircraft because its just to freakin huge for an aircraft carrier but overall a great aircraft but it is was aging and it was time for it to retire
F-22 may be better, but the damn thing isnt used by the US Navy for carrier operations either. Nor are we currently producing anymore Raptors due to its radically high costs. Nor has it even come anywhere close to rivaling its elder cousin, the F-15 Eagle's service record either. Advanced technology doesnt always mean its the best, when older airframes like the Navy's Tomcat and the USAF's Strike Eagle is still outclassing any and every opponent we face.
How loved is this airplane? Just go to your local hobby shop and ask them which airplane kit is the best seller. At my store there are about 25 kits and die-cast Tomcats. You do the math.
Y see the movie Top Gun a lot of times, and im still seeing hahahaha. We miss you tomcat. Beautiful machine and musical sound. Y love that plane. Is the best forever and ever.
If I was the pilot or RIO I would probably be crying when it took off. Your video is a toughing tribute and fitting farewell for one of the greatest jet fighters of our if not all all time. F-14s I salute you!!
lol goose died during this song. aside that, this video is sad. my dream plane got crushed. all i can do to remember it is to keep buying F-14 models and build them.
I never really thought of an airplane to be much more than an airplane, but this video made me change my mind. I really loved that you used the Top Gun song. I have allot of small models of the F-14 Tomcat from my childhood. I always loved the Tomcat and I still do. I also love the Top Gun movie. I consider this airplane to be my favorite. Thanks for making this video. It was really great!

@Skybolter I will admit, the tomcat was a good plane. But he F-22 is better in my opinion, and if you have a problem with that, fine.
