F14 Tomcat in HD

[Moose242]

Alright so the Tomcat might not have been the best plane we ever had requiring 50 maintenance hours per flight hour (closer to 80 towards the end according to a board member who worked on them), and the US logged all of 4 kills with them over their 32 years of service (compared to the F15s 36, and zero losses) but it is a beautiful aircraft. Watch in HD if possible.

I consider it un-american to not have "danger zone" as the music in that video

Fuck it, I ain't got shit to do today. Might as well watch Top Gun for the 500th time. And it is close to Christmas, guess I will watch Die Hard too.

Outstanding video.

I was thinking the same thing during the video. If I don't try to find a range to shoot at today my ass will be parked on the couch watching Top Gun.

Great video. And Top Gun sucked.

What's up with that? I know every scene, every cheesy line, every stupid cliche.

But when flipping through the channels...........Top Gun......you fucking watch it!

Those where my favorite planes growing up because my dad was a mechanic on those his first year in the Navy until he decided he didn't like being a grease monkey and wanted to rescue downed pilots.

I want a ride in a fighter jet at some point in my life.

The most fun I ever had working my ass off was either:

1. In the cockpit of a tomcat
2. In the avionics bay of a tomcat
3. Getting a tomcat ready for launch on the flight deck

Tomcats Forever \ VF-103 Baby....

Here's one I made from some web footage from some old fighter flings:

Would've been better if there were sounds of the damn planes.

Jolly Rogers, can't hardly win a battle E to save your lives. Lol

Jolly Rogers, can't hardly win a battle E to save your lives. Lol

Actually, VF-103 was the "Sluggers" while I was in, and we won 2 Battle Es in a row (I think it was 91 and 92) and a Safety S.

VF-84 was the Jolly Rogers and we picked up Ensign Ernie after they were deactivated in 95.

When I was on the Independence, my fellow airframers that worked on the Alphas in VF-21 and VF-154 hated life. They worked their asses off. Those were some old-assed birds. One of the VF-21 aircraft actually had a Mig stamp (it was one of the ones that splashed a Libyan plane).
The last time I saw a Tomcat launch off the boat, it was a cold cat off the bow. They went for a swim, but my boy Danny got them both back on board in exactly 8 minutes.

[SC457A]

One of my favorite airplanes.

Cold cat? Im guessing thats saying it went swimming. as you said in post.. Fail
