Navy F-14 Airshow HUD Part 2 of 2

This is part 2 of a HUD* view of an airshow done by an F-14 crew.

Check out near the end, when the pilot causes the aircraft to bow to the crowd!

Location: NAS Moffett Field, California.

(* HUD = Heads-Up Display. There's a forward looking camera in the nose of the aircraft. Its view is combined with the electronic display shown to the pilot and recorded onto tape. This is also known as a "gun camera" view. The symbols show the aircraft's attitude, altitude, airspeed, "alpha" (angle of attack).

In combat various other information can be included, such as gun trajectory aiming point, aircraft "predictor," aiming point for radar missiles and circle of sensitivity for infra-red seeking missiles. The Navy uses black-and-white video, some Air Force aircraft use color.

Hey btw... you mind if I throw these up on the Tailhook Daily Briefing (I'm the editor of the Tailhook Association's Blog)

No, of course I don't mind - thanks for asking, though.

I don't know who the pilot & RIO were. Maybe one of your members will know. I'd be glad to add their names to the description. It was a cool tape.

Enjoy!

Actually looks like Moffet field maybe... not Miramar with that big blimp hangar on the apron.

Oops, you're right. I'll correct that.

Thanks!

There is so much more going on with 2 crew performing aerobatics, the communication between the two, and almost the reassurance from a second person that you completely trust just adds a different element to the audio and show, too mad moffet is not as active as it was in the 90's still see a f18 now and then , great video
