@@2ksnakenoodles It was because of the cold war and threat of world war 3 that really pushed everything to the limit. Grumman had to suffer a lot of losses in the R&D of the Tomcat because of the extra-ordinarily high expectations and tight timelines that were placed by Congress/Navy. What came out in the end, was a phenomenal Mach 2.4+ fighter/interceptor that scared the enemy before even getting engaged with them. Just the sight of a Tomcat coming guns blazing, wings swept back at supersonic speeds with a full weapons load right at the enemy's nose was enough to scare them away.

I agree, the F18 was actually the runner up against the F16 for the air force contract....Just ask yourself, who was buddies with Dick Cheney? He cancelled the F14 Contract, they would have been better off militarily with the F14, but the Super Tomcat was slayed at about 100 million each more than 25 years ago, that's pretty steep when you consider what the alternative was, coupled with the fact that the USSR had collapsed and the threat it was designed to thwart was gone, and it was an expensive plane to maintain. But, it was a badass, It's still the premier plane in the Iranian airforce today.

Back a few decades ago I was assigned to an F-4 squadron at NAS Miramar. My squadron shared a hangar with Topgun and a number of F-14 squadrons. A number of times when crossing the hangar or walking out on the ramp for some reason an F-14 would go to full AB only a few hundred feet from me. The end of the runway was very close and there was no mistaking what had just happened. The boom it made was loud, really loud and you could feel the explosion of power in your chest. If I wasn't expecting it, it scared the daylights out of me.

bestamerica The F-14 was a pain in the ass in terms of maintenance. Many hours grounded, few hours in flight. It was a great plane in some regards, but it has big issues. One of them is it's weight. The so-called 50 000 american hp are not enough to give the Tomcat interesting thrust in combat. Underpowered. (The A+, B and D were little better however with F-110 engines, those are F-14A on this video.) The speed means nothing in many cases. Combat payload reduces significantly the max speed and max G's an aircraft can take. Mach 2.3 max speed on paper ? Expect Mach 1.2 very max with combat payload (it's the case of the AJS-37 Viggen, which was a very fast aircraft for it's time). And in an operational theatre, it's just useless to try to reach max speed because of the fuel consumption. Most aircrafts will fly around Mach0.6 to 0.8 to maximise their fuel consumption and range.

Loved that tune( & mighty wings) as a lad in ' 86. But the music of them kerosine heaters from hell is just as pleasant to me 😎

Americans will never get to see an F14 fly with their own eyes again. That's realy sad.

That F-14A was from VF-154 Black Knights stationed in NAF Atsugi Japan. I was a jet mechanic on that squadron 1996-1999. It was hard work but fun times.

Dumbest decision in the history of the U.S. Navy to get rid of that plane.

I agree. I was in the Navy when the F-14 was replaced by the F/A-18. I was definitely not happy.

It's massive, requires an absolute hellish number of maintenance hours, and is expensive as hell.

Maybe if more foreign countries other than Iran purchase the F-14 USN wouldn't retired the aircraft that early

While the f-14 was a great plane and still couldve had some use, it was slowly starting to get too old even compared to models like the f-15 and f-16, plus its a massive plane which reacquires too many maintainance hours and a lot of money. Another point would be its outdated flight-nav data and other internal systems.
