On Sunday, Sept. 18th, at the 2005 NAS Oceana Air Show located in Virginia Beach, VA. Presented by VF-101 "Grim Reapers" was the F-14 Tomcat tactical flight demonstration, ONE LAST TIME IN HISTORY!!
Note: You might've have seen this same video that was edited a different way by me and uploaded on a different video site called metacafe.com, but somebody somehow downloaded it and uploaded it onto his own channel and taking credit for it without my permission. His own link to it is right here at • tha last f-14 tomcat demo . His youtube channel is "Skylife" or @SkyLifeFlyer, and his formerly youtube title was "jorgemdllin", and I have kindly asked him to put it down because it's my own video, but he would not agree to it and he started cursing and swearing at me and calling me bad names online and he refuses to do so. And it looks like youtube will not do me any favors to delete it from his site. So it looks like i'll just have no choice but to let him get away with it, unfortunately.

If you want to bring memories back, install DCS WORLD Simulator and you can buy many full fidelity Modules like the F-14 A/B. I fly the F-14B in DCS and i can tell, that is a beast jet. I simply love this masterpiece. HeatBlur are the devs. and they did a perfect job. Nowhere you can find such quality, forget the MFS20 F-14/18 addons, they fly like a cessna.

Spelled “Corps” incorrectly, which is unlikely for a former Marine officer. The F-14 was a navy fighter, not USMC. 41 years in the Service would be on the far end of time, even for a flag officer. I smell bs.

If you can find video of any air shows from Iran, they have the Tomcats flying multiple times in every single air show that I have seen!!!! Search for videos and watch how the Iranian F-14 pilots talk about them and the crazy stories they have to tell about flying The Tomcat in combat! They ABSOLUTELY love them as much as we do! They call it the Golden eagle :) They've upgraded the engines and the weapons systems and the radar systems! They developed and manufacture the parts and technology to advance their old F-14A Tomcats to at least A+, not quite the level of F-14B that we had, but they are STILL flying them! Says a LOT about how well designed and durable the design is if it is maintained properly :)

@@MeMyselfI_69 They had an amazing concept with AST-21, but Dick Cheney and his Hornet mafia wanted the money to be routed to the far less capable Super Hornet with the promise of it being much cheaper. However, Super Hornet as it turns out, ended up costing $5+ billion in development. The Tomcats especially B/D variants ran circles around the Rhino when it came out. One pilot who transitioned from Tomcat to Rhino said, it was like going from a super fast Porsche to a Beetle. Grumman pegged AST-21 at far less cost because the airframe already was so ahead of its time on the Tomcat, that minimal changes were needed for the design,

I was at this show. I was in VA Beach for my cousin's wedding. His father, a retired USN Captain got us passes for the officers' tent out on the tarmac. Best air show experience I have EVER had. I was honored to see the final flight of a legend in US air power. Seeing the Tomcats, the Hornets, the Phantoms, and the Intruders in one show was just amazing. The Blue Angels didn't fail to impress and a JATO takeoff and reverse-thrust landing by Fat Albert was simply mind-blowing. And that rocket truck... yikes. Days like that one make you proud to be a part of the greatest and mightiest nation on earth.

@Evocatorum 10 месяцев назад

@@juanmora9148 The F-14 was an absolutely magnificent machine, but had some rather problematic issues: high maintenance requirements, relatively poor low-speed maneuverability compared even contemporary fighters, and oh, yeah, a rather unnerving tendency to explode due to the failure of 1st stage combustion fans and subsequent failure of the containment belt in that area. Tbh, all two of those things could be addressed in general overhauls (Super Tomcat-21's), but the third one has to do with the fact it wasn't designed to dogfight, it was designed primarily as an interceptor, but later morphed in to a "multi-role" fighter. However, the thing that primarily killed it was Dick Cheney's absolutely hatred of Grumman. There are F-14's still flying today, but ya'd have to be Iranian to see them. Hell, we may just get a chance to see them in a dogfight if "someone" manages to finagle his way back in to office...

Such a pity the F14 has gone to the bone yard, fantastic aircraft. She was the best jet powered carrier borne aircraft ever built and I personally think that the United States Navy would have kept them if it was viable to achieve, obviously the Tomcat had reached its finite fatigue life and would have cost a fortune in upgrades and maintenance cost, and that’s assuming that the airframe was still viable to extend its life, its truly saddening to see such an iconic aircraft disappear from the sky.

@yellowbonnetproductions5424 5 лет назад

Charles Harwood I wish that could be the case with the F14s as they were my favs but all of them belong to museums and aren’t able to be restored. There aren’t any parts either. The US purposely did this because they did not want the Iran to get a hold of any F-14s or parts because they were such good fighters and were never replaced with a better plane. The only reason why they were retired was because the airframes were getting old and too expensive to maintain. So they replaced it with the shittier, but MUCH cheaper F-18 superhornet. It was planed to make new f-14s but with newer technology witch was the smarter option. But the military didn’t want to spend the money. So now the military regrets getting rid of the F14s but there’s no going back now. That’s the sad story of their retirement. My point is that the US made it impossible for anyone to get a hold of and restore and F14.

I was there working the Airshow that day. It was sad to see the last demo. I got out in July of 06. I saw the last Tomcat leave Oceana in April of 2006. It was a sight to see. I was on Night-check. And was working in the Fuel-pits. And 11 F-14’s rolled past the pits and all the pilots waved goodbye. Everyone inside the hangers were outside waiting to see them take off. 10 of the 11 were airborne. The last one was flown by the CO of that squadron. I believe it was VF-101. All 10 were circling around then as he got airborne he went straight up and then met up with the rest of them and rode off into the sunset. I can still see it. And now my 8yr old son is so into the new Topgun movie. And he thinks he’s gonna fly one. It’s hard to explain t him that they are not around in the USA. They are no longer air worthy. The only air worthy F-14s are located in Iran according to a article I read online.

Me too! My favorite fighter jet! I sure miss them. What a beautiful piece of machinery and weaponry.

I remember seeing F14s and A6s flying low over Sandbridge Beach all the time back in the the day. Heading to and from NAS Oceana Virginia Beach, VA. Hell of a sight.

Incredible aircraft. I think most likely the most beautful fighter plane ever built. We always respected the Tomcat. It did not bleed speed like the F16/F18 and F15 high low speed high Gs turns, so it could get its weapons on you real quick. That’s what the variable wings gave you. That adaptability at high low altitude engagements. With the NGAD, there will be mission parameters that are more aligned to the F111 and F14 over what we are running now.

A 30 ton aircraft making those turns, can you imagine the stress on that wingbox? Amazing.

I was lucky enough to see them at NAF Atsugi, before they left in 03. RIP VF-154.

I'm neither an engineer nor a pilot so what I'm about to say may not make sense to some of you, but I've always been impressed by the strength of the front wings pivots. Normally, moving parts are not as strong as fixed ones, so those pivots impress me a lot. Was it because of those the F-14 was costly to fly and maintain? What are the reasons behind this design, over fixed wings? Thanks a lot in advance to anyone who can answer these questions for me.

@YZach This is not entirely true, F-14 has always been one of the best naval aircraft that the U.S. Navy ever used. Remember that the Grumman Corporation faced substantial contractual penalties if the jet it produced faild to meet the Navy's specifications. The Navy itself has admitted back in 1974. by ADM James L. Holloway III - Chief of Naval Operations, that the F-14 is the best aircraft for any job that needs to be done, and it performs magnificently.

My parents were Navy ATC when i was a kid. I grew up around rhis stuff. I really miss it. F14 was by far my favorite. It was my dream to be a Tomcat pilot. Didnt happen.
