2006 NAS Oceana Airshow - F-14 Tomcat Beach Blast

F-14 Tomcat Beach Blast Flyover

2006 NAS Oceana Airshow Beach Blast
31st Street Park and Beachfront
Virginia Beach, Virginia
Saturday September 9, 2006

IN THIS VIDEO, for the very last time ever, an F-14 Tomcat flies over Virginia Beach in full afterburner during the Saturday night airshow portion of the Beach Blast of the skies of NAS Oceana and Virginia Beach as part of the 2006 NAS Oceana Airshow, which was the very last airshow that F-14 Tomcats from the U.S. Navy took part in. This aircraft belongs to VF-31.

For those who are wondering, the person yelling "Cats Rule, Baby!" is actually one of my friends.

Like what you've seen? Well, if you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

one of the best aircraft ever made by the US...still the no.1 in the world....

NAVY RULES - PERIOD. What pisses me off all the time is these morons who think that anything in the air is Air Force, DUMB ASSESS.

Look at the Facts. Navy was first in SPACE (Shepard), first to Orbit (Glenn - yes I know Marines, still a Sailor), first on the Moon (Armstrong). Vietnam - first Ace, Air Force you loose.

I worked on the F14A and we had the TF30, what a piece, TF34 from GE was great and I know the F100 was excellent.

Nothing is better. BIG BAD AND HONKING - F14 TOMCAT.

@swillmaster1 the F-100 was the original engines in the F-15 and F-16, to my knowledge, the navy never had an airframe that ever used the F-100 engine.

[TheScrumpty]

@bobbycv64 you are right about most of these facts, but the tomcat only ever had 2 different engines, the first was the pratt and whitney tf-30 and yes it did have its problems, but those problems were taken care of very well with the GE f-110 engines. never heard of the tf-34 though.

@1bearcatf8f

the f15's will be burning wreckage long before they would ever have a f14 on radar

CATS Rule and the phoenix is a missile on god mode

[swillmaster1]

@bobbycv64 F110 actually..sorry got all warpped up in yer f100 shit

[swillmaster1]

@bobbycv64 F100 indeed made for a big bad and honkin CAT! I was among the very last VF-143 Airframers and may I tell you the tale of one bad ass F-14B her name was 111 thats right..triple stix..she survived AAA over Baghdad and SAMs...she also bore my name cuz I was her PC..this story is losing focus just thought you would like lol.

@flamingarse1 1,500-600 Nautical Miles. Not sure if that's with Fuel Tanks or not. Got to think if they get to a good altitude, maintain average throttle/power that would make things better. In the video "Tomcats last cruse" or something similar, the Tomcats flew for 8 hours only being air refueled 2 times.
