I heard Dawn Seymour tell her story on NPR StoryCorps at 97 years old. I was truly inspired by her strong voice and how she communicated her life story with inflection, voice modulation and a clear central message of her life as a pilot. By sharing her amazing life story at 97 she gave me a gift in the reminder women can stand up and teach others at any age if you have something of value to teach others.

Thanks for the insight

It’s definitely a beautiful fighter aircraft

I thought F-117 Nighthawk was officially retired in 2008?

I WISH Mustangs still went for a half mil.

Last AirShow I ever attended after leaving for Seattle! Best one ever Gary did a great job flying the demonstration for the 104th FW…🎉

Beautiful machine! Greetings from Brazil.

F-14 were just too big on a carrier.. F-18 took its place.

3:10 I always love hearing that fact. Because of vision being relative you don't really get a sense for how massive a fighter jet like the F-14 really is. You mostly see them in the air with nothing to relate size with. Even sitting on the ground unless a person is standing right next to it you don't really get a sense. But if you think about the A-4 and it's wing and then think about how the F-14s horizontal stabilizer is the same size you can start to get an idea. The F-14 is literally the size of a tennis court it's that big. The Aim-54 Phoenix missile itself is more than three times the size of an average human, and the F-14 can carry 6 of them as well as 2 Aim-9 Sidewinder missiles that are roughly the same size as a person. Heck the Aim-7 Sparrow missile is bigger than a person. Continuing on just because I can. The Tomcat could also carry 4 2,000 pound bombs(guided or not) AND 2 Phoenix(or Sparrow) and 2 Sidewinders. Such a massive massive beast. Imagine if they had continued on with giving it the AMRAAM and had made a double rack like the F/A-18 has. The Tomcat could have been the missile truck the 15EX is a couple decades before the EX lol. In theory the F-14 could have possibly carried 8 Aim-120 along with the 2 Sidewinder. Coupled with the impressive Radar and a bit of computer upgrades to increase datalink targets, the F-14 would have been absolutely unstoppable. I can only just barely fathom what the F-21 Super Tomcat would have been capable of. You just have to imagine an F-14D with even better engines, better radar, digital displays, fly-by-wire, Aim-120 with Aim-9X, and the Lightening II targeting pod instead of the LANTIRN. Man.. if that had been produced.. I really really hope someone out there makes an F-21 for DCS before the game shuts down.

Charles Coleman is my grandfather. It's really cool to be able to see and hear him again.

I saw quite a few of these in Vietnam. I'm not sure who was flying them, ARVN's or US pilots.

1990? This most likely was converted to an F-111G

6:56 I was one of those kids. Patty was an aviation hero of mine growing up and I have my pilot’s license now 👍

There is a troop carrier that can go in the cargo bay which I believe can seat 375 but a loadmaster will know the exact number, I was jet shop for 15 years

F 14..lol...

EDP Network can you make sure that you get some more interviews from the FA-18 super hornet rhino demonstration team, and post them on your KZbin channel please ? Also can you make sure you get some interviews from the EA-18 growler demonstration team and also the F-35C demonstration team, and post those interviews on your KZbin channel as well ? Can you also get some interviews from the AV-8 harrier demonstration team and the F-35B demonstration team, and also post them on your KZbin channel please ?

Warum ist die Maschine in deutsch beschriftet? Diese Kiste ist nie bei der Luftwaffe geflogen! Und dann noch mit dem Zeichen des KG 51! Völlig irre diese Amis!

My grandfather flew the fb111. Stationed in Plattsburgh. Flew Vietnam and Korea. The plane is on display in Plattsburgh now. Call sign doc.

Маю прізвище "Худий". Можливо мій предок був дууже широким) Також в мого батька та діда, через русифікацію було прізвище "Худой". На щастя, з настанням незалежності, вони його поміняли.

F-14 shared its nose radar with the Swedish JA-37 Viggen

Would LOVED to have flown the Tomcat! Thanks for the video!

Why does your thumbnail show the jolly Rodgers logo if these are the grim reapers🤨

“ when they went up against the spitfires and hurricanes” they didn’t that’s what the bf109 escort fighters where for, these were going to bomb the towns, there’s always a way for someone to glorify the allies and make the Germans sound inferior.

The most recognisible sound in ww2 was by far the Ju87 Stuka dive bomber. The spitfires being out there long before the p51 also had rolls royce motors right upto model 13. The p51 became the best propeller 'allround' fighter plane at the end of ww2 partly because of its power and long range. There were still some better fighters out there however could not match the allround performance and not forgetting that at the time of full scale introduction there were no longer significant numbers, development and trained pilots to fight against.... To show fighters being shot down with pilots who do not even dare to turn ther plane of make proper action and simple jump out is not an image of glory however the image of a loosing army in its final days.

I was stationed at RAF Fairford 89-91 I remember seeing the F-111 at Lakenheath and Heyford. We hitched a ride home from the desert with Cannon guys years later in 96. That was the loudest jet I ever heard lol. Now I live in Portsmouth and I drive around the base trying figure out what was where when base was open. Good memories from England

Tomcats played the most important role in gaining air superiority in favor of Iran during the war with Iraq, and this highly advanced fighter was a nightmare for Iraqi pilots at that time, and Iraqi pilots were ordered to avoid the F14 because there was no chance of winning in the war. There was no aerial combat against the Tomcat

Great Video....the last part is Touching! Thanks!

Cant believe they were still flying As in 99

Awesome! 👍🇺🇲

😼😎

I was a 68J10 weapons crew member maintenance and repair.

I've flying for 30years and I have no idea how flies like this. He's on the ragged edge of control and a razors edge away from dying. You are a one of a kind pilot god, sir.

Entered pilot training in T-37s at Moody in 1963, shortly after the end of introductory training in prop aircraft like the T-34. Moved on to the T-33 before graduating. Proud to be part of a small group of Air Force pilots never to have flown an aircraft with either fixed gear or a prop prior to winning our wings. On graduation, we were also able to take the FAA commercial written exam and certify as single and multi-engine instrument pilots, unlike our compatriots at T-38 bases, who still had to check out in single engine aircraft.

VFA-143 the world famous Pukin Dogs F-14 Vs USS Taurus PHM- 3 in a dog-fight…that’s right a Dog-Fight! ROE…F-14 has to get a broadside camera shot of the PHM and PHM has to get a GUNS lock on the F-14. The fight begins with the PHM executing violent hard rudder turns at 48+ knots, giving the F-14 a much harder time than expected. PHM calls out “Guns, Guns, Guns” over the net…F-14 says “Damn , you guys fight real hard…you just don’t climb worth a damn!” A few weeks later TAURUS gets a letter from the Pukin Dogs commemorating the event and how they were impressed with the PHM’s maneuverability…they also included a broadside picture of the PHM. Anyway, a good time was had by all and something I will never forget. Command Senior Chief (SW) USS TAURUS PHM-3!

One of the most beautiful aircraft ever created. This aircraft was like the F-35 Lightning II back in the mid 30's when the design was thought up by Kelly Johnson, one of the most advanced (and the fastest) pursuit aircraft at the beginning of WWII. The British made de Havilland Mosquito would outclass the P-38 in some respects, including speed, but the P-38 proved to be one of the most versatile aircraft in the US inventory during WWII and saw combat in all theaters of war from Europe to the Pacific. The Pacific theater is really where the P-38 came into it's own on very long range missions. The P-38 proved to be more adapt to combat in warmer climates, although many pilots hated the bubble cockpit in the blistering heat where the canopy had a sort of "greenhouse" effect and kept the heat inside the cockpit when pilot's didn't want heat at all. The canopy was actually revolutionary at the time as it afforded a very good view outside the cockpit, above and to the side's where the enemy aircraft would most likely attempt an attack. Test Pilot Tony LeVier said the original canopy design was no good and the canopy actually blew right off the airplane when he was in an accelerated stall at 300 MPH. LeVier was able to land safely and told Kelly Johnson the canopy was junk and it had launched itself right off the airplane after a loud boom in his accelerated stall, which could have easily killed LeVier. Johnson immediately went back to his drafting table and worked with engineers to quickly develop a new style hinged folding back canopy with locking hinges on each side. This was the canopy that made it into production of the P-38. LeVier went on to be one of Lockheed's Chief Test Pilot's and went over to Europe to teach new P-38 pilot's how to get more range from their fighters by controlling the mixtures of fuel. Charles Lindbergh would do the same thing for pilot's in the Pacific theater. Lindbergh actually bunked with Major Thomas B. McGuire, the second highest fighter ACE in United States history with 38 confirmed kills. Lindbergh is also the only civilian in history to shoot down another enemy aircraft in combat. LIndbergh accompanied the pilot's he was teaching on combat missions, as a civilian, which was highly irregular, even in WWII. The fact Lindbergh actually shot down a Japanese aircraft was kept top secret and wasn't revealed until 40 years after the war was over. The pilot's Lindbergh worked with had a deep respect for the aviator and he taught them valuable skills in extended their ranges for very long and difficult combat missions.

This is a really informative video on the F-117

The Harrier is NOT UNIQUE as regards having an engine in which the compressor shaft rotates in one direction and the turbine shaft rotates in the other direction.
