the most fierce fighter jets ever !! i got to see them up close when i was stationed in norfolk. these planes are the only ones that could make a mig turn tail and go home!
beautiful tribute to the F-14 Tom cat , had the pleasure to see this jet while my service in the Navy. I never thought I would say this but I sure do miss my Navy days out at sea lol. go Navy fly. go Navy 🙂🙂🙂
Audit The Fed The F4U Corsair, the F6F Hellcat and the F4F Wildcat would all dispute that point with you. Even the late war F8F Bearcat was a better air-superiority fighter for it's time than the F-14 was for its. In a modern sense, if there were a Top 5 Modern Air-Superiority fighters it be from 5 to 1: Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor, Grumman F-14D Super Tomcat, General Dynamics F-16C Fighting Falcon, Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet and the Top Gun is the McDonnell-Douglas F-15C Eagle.
David O. Having hours on the F-14D, the P-51D and the Supermarine Spitfire Mk IVb, as well as a Crew Chief on the F-22 on the Civ side, I have to say in a modern sense you're wrong. The F-22 is the undisputed belle of the ball, great lines, clean performing, easy to fly and a breeze to maintain. The F-14 is a big, brutish plane that needs constant babying to perform at 100%. Overall. I'd have to tie the Mk IVb Spitfire and the Raptor at No 1 for looks and effectiveness.
@@mjcandy9153 No disrespect, the F-22 is in it's own right a fine piece of machinery. But as laymen, I'd compare it to something like a rapier, while the f-14 is something like a claymore. It is an odd personification of power and majesty, with variable wings reminiscent to actual birds in flight. The F-22 can do some neat tricks all it's own, but I'd argue that it lacks presence (probly by design), and when compared to the F-14, it has something of a rouge-ish demeanor, almost flimsy. Not ugly by any means, but with all things machinery, heft is the pinnacle of aesthetics, and the f-14 does a fine job of conveying that.
We had an airshow about 25 years ago in my small little town. An F-14 came up from California I believe, and I was standing outside my apartment when the thing flew over. It was like making a turn slowly to line up with the airport. I swear the tomcat was 200 feet above me and the damn ground shook at how much horsepower this American Marvel has ,(it has 50,000 THOUSAND , horsepower). I was in total awe and thought what if that plane was loaded for war? I would just go on vacation until it was over. The F-14 is the Most Beautiful plane next to the P-51C Mustang. If you ever get a chance to see or hear a tomcat, please do it, it is a total TRIP.
Yeah I know if only we had Men in the DC who had the foresight to see that China might be the next greatest threat to the US in the future. Then they would not only retired the Tomcat, but a lot other great Navy jets would still be in mothball for the future. And that Grumman would been given the go ahead to start designing and developing the F-14D and ST-21.
Superimpose some shades over the cockpit and a cigar out of its nose because that was one, bad-ass war bird. It not only looked bad ass, it could kick ass 7/24 and twice on Sundays. Load that bad ass with ordinance and you had one, mean machine looking to take out bad guys. The F 14 was an awesome jet all the way around.
That's one hell of an editing job to pull as much flying footage out of the Speed and Angels movie. Apart from the music, I'd say that's a job well done. PS Tomcather, looks like I took the user name you were after!!!
Not that the f-14 isn't the best ever but it would be far too costly to to introduce a 21st century f-14 but the Super Hornet and F16 are just as affective and will remain in the frontline until the F-35 Lightning enters service.
One issue the hornet isn't a dedicated fighter and USN is needing a dedicated fighter for fleet defense the F/A-18 hornet doesn't have a radar that can reach out as far as the F-14 Tomcat and the F-35 Lightning can't carry the necessary payload that the F-14 Tomcat can. Edit: it'll be hell of a lot cheaper to upgrade than it would be to put a whole new jet into production to put the F-35 Lightning into service and production the price can range any where between $94.6 million to $121.8 million USD
I see lots of "why did we discontinue this fighter?"... folks, the reason for the MASSIVE radar array, the specialized missile systems, the subsonic/supersonic flexability was all for a single role. She is not a dedicated fighter, she is not a general, high flexability platform like the -16... she was made to permit us a 50% chance of STOPPING NUKES. At 100 miles out, no missile is rated to take out fighters... but dumb rockets heading into orbit she can. Carriers do not carry birds they do not need. Limited space and all. Without the CRITICAL need for anti-missile platforms... we stopped using them. But they are on ice waiting.
This is all footage from the documentary “Speed and Angels”, it follows two fresh F-14 graduates learning to dogfight the aircraft and then going to the fleet. I dare say majority of that training is subsonic.
Can't ANYONE come up with something better than "Quick Start My Heart" by Motley Crue????? Every video on this site uses that song. I had to turn off my speakers so I could enjoy the video. What are those of that HATE Motley Crue going to do when we want to watch something this great. LEAVE out the rotten music (if that's what you call it. It's really just a bunch of noise). Use some DECENT music for your background.
This is decent music. Far from noise....if you want to hear some noise listen to modern techno. At least he didn't pick a rap song. Kickstart my Heart, not quick start...duh!, is an adrenaline song, much like flying an F-14 is. And if you don't like it, find a better video.
ScreenwriterKat Kat then thankfully this is "Kick Start My Heat" and not that dreadful Quick Start My Heart. I agree, that song sucks. But Kick Start My Heart is pretty good.
+Jack Tumlinson lol......great reply man. I don't even know what she's on about. maybe she'd prefer the homosexual crap from 'One direction'. I wonder if those fans sing....... "quick start my heart "
+ScreenwriterKat Kat If you are gonna shi* on the CRUE...GET IT RIGHT...it is KICKstart...NOT NOT NOT Quickstart. And just because you don't like them CHANGES NOTHING. I bet that they have a crap-load MORE money than you do, so someone likes them for sure.

Best fighter ever made...or will ever be. Nothing is as sexy as the cats!
TOMCAT'S, MARINE'S, AIR FORCE'S, MILITARY..LOVE FOREVER..🇺🇸🇺🇸💖🇺🇸🇺🇸
The greatest fighter ever made. Period.
my fave airplane. Great video, thanks.
Tomcats were, and always will be Boss!
I AM thankful my parents let us listen to you all and go to your concerts. Know not what else to say.

Thank you for your service mate.
I heard Navy wants to bring them back. The best air superiority fighter the navy ever had.

@@mjcandy9153 he's only talking about the Navy
Yea, but the F-4 Phantom is a close second.
F-14 was objectively inferior to F-15 and F-16, and on par with F/A-18E. F-35 and F-22 are in a league of their own.
@Micro Wave And because Iran's F-14 Tomcat.
Goose, she's lost that lovin' feeling.
Look at that big bird kickin’ ass!
Most beautiful aircraft ever...

I had a refuiler and three a10s fly over my house while I was weedwhacking once, that was insane, everything shook
You meant D model mustang...but i totally agree.
The F-14 Tomcat was the pinnacle of aeronautical engineering! That I am forced to refer to this great plane as past tense, makes me very angry!
Yeah I know if only we had Men in the DC who had the foresight to see that China might be the next greatest threat to the US in the future. Then they would not only retired the Tomcat, but a lot other great Navy jets would still be in mothball for the future.

Agreed. By far, the best fighter FOR A FIGHTER PILOT, THE F-14D SUPER TOMCAT, THE NAVY HAD!!!!!!
Good plane, terrible engines… TW-30
@@ryanthompson2893 - That situation was quickly rectified in the earlier models of the Tomcat when they were retrofitted with better engines.

still may favorite war bird...always will be.
Rock n Roll !! God Bless America and all or Troops and their Families !!!
If the U.S Air Force had this as their AD, their recruitment will probably increase by 75%

Tom - top among the cats
First, the Navy retired the F-14 and now I've been hearing that the Air Force wants to retire the A-10. WTF is wrong with our military?!
Como eu sinto falta de um bom filme de aviões

That song could make a water ballet video look cool. Ok, maybe I'm reaching.

It's too bad the f14 is in Iranian hands....
Yes. Because the f14 project was bankrupted and iran payed money to restart the project 50 years ago
I could count maybe one shot with F-14s with the wings properly swept back in the delta shape. This is all lame subsonic footage here.
