Absolutely PERFECT demonstration flying. As a CFII myself I get flak from other CFIs... "why do you make your suddents go right to the edge of the runway before turning to line up for TO." I keep telling them, "any RWY behind you is useless," I always teach "use every inch of the rwy." Another one I teach is calling outloud A/S on TO roll, and ALT and A/S while in the air, during flight such as entering the pattern, etc, I have other CFIs say, "you talk too much" all I can go is SMDH.... On here Rocco did a low transition short-field take off high AOA on initial climbout, followed by pitching down to keep the nose on horizon during normal climbout. Everything was textbook. Excellent video. I always tell my students, "it doesn't matter if you fly a c172, Piper, B737, or f-14, flying is flying and if its down correctly its all the same."
That’s an D model HUD for sure. What tripped me up for a second is that the pilots helmet markings are from VF-154 Black Knights, and that unite only flew the A model while they were an F-14 squadron.
I was there Rocco! Thanks for the amazing show. The Tomcat was always my fave! Thank you for your service and ability!
Very effing cool.
Lots of teamwork in that cockpit during the demo.
Thanks for the upload

Amazing crew coordination right there folks!!
Will your other Tomcast demo's be made public again currently the 'Columbia MO Memorial Day 2004 Rocco Linus' demo is listed as private?
Looks like Ft Lauderdale at the end. Would be nice to see more. Thanks!
Great video.
28:17 *NEGATIVE GHOSTRIDER, THE PATTERN IS FULL!!!*
Is that a Black Knights flight helmet I see?? I was on the Kitty Hawk 2000-2002 when we had VF-154 onboard. BKR!
Good comms and great teamwork. He was gaining that much speed on the roll, I thought he was going unrestricted on the climb.
The tower told him to maintain 3000’. Were you not listening.
@@mikefromflorida8357 I might not have heard it. I am damn near deaf in my right ear.
He was also told to maintain runway heading, but started a left turn for some reason
Is the Rio calling out the air speed and the maneuver?
Yep. That's Joe "Smokin" Ruzicka.
@@jiceBERGthanks for the response. Watching again because I miss this jet! 😥💪
Did the RIO do all of the radio work?
So the pilot can focus on flying the demo only. RIO assists quite a bit in a Tomcat demo.
オ～～懐かしき、ブラッナイツ❣
anybody else think this is a f18?
😆 No.
@@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM that HUD looks like an f-18....maybe this is the D model? its a tomcat, i stand corrected
That’s an D model HUD for sure. What tripped me up for a second is that the pilots helmet markings are from VF-154 Black Knights, and that unite only flew the A model while they were an F-14 squadron.
