I know this isnt a movie and i know some ppl cringe when i mention top gun BUT i think it's partialy because of the wonderfull aircraft of the time, the F14 in particular that a movie made in 1986 using planed made in the 70's is STILL the best fighter plane movie ever made. Nothing since then has topped it.
No matter what we can say the Tomcat Is history now. But she was a proud aircraft and undoubtedly the most beautiful. Thank you so much for uploading this terrific documentary
my good friend worked on tomcats in the late 90s on the Carl Vinson. He said they were always broken down and a pain in the ass to work on. Hence the superhornet...
I still wonder why the US have abandonded the F14, aircraft from the same era, like F15 and F16. These have been upgraded and are still flying today. I know the F14 had some modifications as well, but these turned the F14 in to a better ground attacker like the Bombcat, a role the F14 was never designed for. Nothing wrong with the Hornet and Super Hornet, but can they compete the performance of the Tomcat? I doubt it.
Well now I know where to go if I want to find the f-ing experts who know every g-dd-mn thing about fighter planes. And it sounds like you boys all flew these planes in the war too. Riddle me this, fighter jocks: who's gonna design the future warplanes for the USA? All the Chinese grad. students in our engineering programs? Cheney blew our wad with his wars. We ain't got the money to send our future engineers to kindergarten.
from what i know the f-14 could reach speeds up to mach 2,4 thats about 2300 +/- kilometers pr hour :D and its radar is still one of the best you can ever find in a jet fighter..its sad to see them ground tomcat its my idol of all fighter jets none can compete with it not even f-22 or f-35 and definetly not the f-18 d super hornet..the navy should have upgraded the f-14 instead of replacing it with the f-18
I like at 0:46 where he's got his head in the afterburner and it looks like his fingers are in his ears...
"No, don't worry mate, you'll be fine... anyone order roasted flight deck tech?" lol
I gotta say that the Hornet is a poor replacement for the Tomcat - a navalised F16 would've been better since F35 is basically a stealthed navalised F16.
the single most important difference between the f-16 and f/a-18 is single engine vs twin engine, do you really want to be 300miles out from the carrier when the single engine fails?
I would put up with that since CSAR would come and get me and the extra number of navalised F16s my nation could afford would have a much better chance of holding a CAP to guard me and my carrier, not only because there would be more of them.
Having said that, I must admit that I may be biassed because I LOVE the F16 and think it's the best fighter jet since MiG21.
@DavidRossThompson I know read my comment again I said the difference between and f-16 and f//a-18 is single engine vs dual engine. the f-16 is single engined.
Grate documentary!! for me their are tow aircraft's that i love the most : the f-4 and the f-14 both of them are out of service but they will be remember for ever.
The F-14 Tomcat is my favorite fighter jet of all time. I uploaded a tribute, which is covered in two videos, to the F-14 Tomcat. I know it doesn't quite do her justice, but it's the best I can do. May the Tomcat never be forgotten, and maybe, hopefully, one day, may she take to the air again. LONG LIVE, THE F-14 TOMCAT!!!!!
F-14's each engine able to produce 20,000lb of thrust, that's incredible:) which makes the aircraft go up more than 1,500mph, more than mach 2. In the end, i felt sad when i heard they retired this awesome aircraft in 2006.
@fauxsham oh, and those in the new PAK-FA/T-50 are just over 39,000lbs each, getting on for twice the power of the F-14 engines, in an aircraft weighing substantially less :)
@fauxsham it's true russian aircraft produce more thrust..sadly they didn't have much success against the F-14 & F-15, due to the difference in pilot. An su-35 & mig-31 would be a good airplane in the hands of an experience pilot.Thanks for the respond & info.
@ThunderHenshin32 And that's only the A model. With the upgraded GE engines of the B and D models, the F14 could reach upwards towards 50,000 pounds with each engine.
@shifty2757 sorry that is not correct numbers man the F-14 A models with the P&W TF-30's could produce 17,000 pounds of thrust without afterburner, and 27,000 with afterburner, the F-!$ B and D models with the GE F110's produced 28,000 without afterburner, and 39,000 with afterburner
I grew up in this era-the nostalgia is killing me-but good to see, thanks for uploading this series. Something like this also dates you-I don't feel old but I am getting there.
Compared to our present military technology this looks very quaint and primitive-but it was cutting edge back then naturally. Hang on to such documentaries/movies because they'll never look like this anymore.
Absolutely! Heck even the old shows like Buck Rogers were great for their time. I love the 70's and 80's-too bad they don't show any of that nowadays, people are really missing out. :)
pb-Buck Rogers is a bit like Star Trek-TNG, it was thoroughly entertaining, I own the series. There's a treasure trove of exciting and fun things to explore from that era. People from this generation are really missing out. Good luck on your search.
Nice series thanks for up loading

@vodkasvictim you are kidding right? a navalized version of the F-16? well lets count the ways in which that is a horrible and impossible idea.
#1 the F-16 has an airframe high time of 5,000 hours before it has to be stripped of anything useful and destroyed to be replaced.
#2 The F-16 is a LAND based SHORT range air superiority fighter, sort of.
#3 the F-16 can not perform the duties of fleet defense.
i could go on but what is the point?
