The Super Hornet is newer, but it still doesn't match up to the Tomcat in many areas. That is a fucking JOKE. Hornets by mandate, Tomcats by choice.....ANYTIME BABY!!!

@ 4:10 Goose "Mav what are you doin', we've got no fuel for this!"

That was an awesome demo. You could tell the pilot was pushing the plane hard by the wing-flex. Love it......a pilot who shows people what an F14 can do. A+

The opening maneuver in this video is the Dirty Bolter followed by the inverted 45 degree exit to set up the entry into the min radius turn. This was taken out of the Tomcat Demo after "Cobb" almost lost it during his practice demo at NAS Oceana in May 2000 and it killed "Dewar/Fur" ( they got slow over the top) at the NAF Willow Grove airshow 2 weeks later during their F-14A demo in June 2000.

@SoccerBoy77 Snorts last show at NAS Oceana was sept 1997. This was probably flown by Mark"Crunchy" Burgess, "Cobb" or "Dewar" who was killed (along with his RIO "Fur" ) at the Willow Grove airshow in June 2000 during his F-14 Demo.
The F-14 was and still is an awesome bird but the Super Hornet is better in every way. I have a feeling we will see a tomcat some day fly again at an airshow.

@scupking it's better for today's Navy, but I would say the F-14 is better in some areas.

@scupking but yeah, the Super Hornet is definitely the way to go now and for the foreseeable future.
