Bird strike? Nah. You clearly flew through Iceman’s Jet Wash...

[@grimreapers]

good call!

[@mysticstudios6922]

Double bird strike at angels 30 seems legit lol

[@grimreapers]

lol

[@Teejay82_]

Never underestimate the zerglings

[@dannyd7714]

Condors! 😂

[@slickstrings]

@@Teejay82_ i always liked the way they flapped their way through airless space

[@danvercillo]

That was great Cap. I don't recall anyone else covering this. F-14B is my dream come true, and I can tell you are just as smitten with her!

[@lenn55]

Sounded like an old VW bug backfiring at the end. haha

[@grimreapers]

lol

[@Power5]

I know, right. His engines have to be missing some blades after that raucous. I have had that sound as well. Not sure if the hydraulic damage i had caused a problem, with the inlet ramps, of if I had engine damage, but those sounds scared me just about every time. Thought I was exploding.

[@rudelchw]

Really excellent tutorial ... almost no one teaches the emergency procedures, the only one that I remember doing so was Bunyap for the A-10C ... so, kudos for a most instructional video, you've got a new subscriptor :)

[@grimreapers]

Welcome rude. Check out the 1500 vids :)

[@rudelchw]

Already did :D .. just checked a similar video you did for the MiG-19 ... very nice and very different from those typical cold start tutorials that other YT channels do ... also liked your performance videos, testing the ceiling or max speed of the Tomcat ... very original, thanks a lot for those :)

[@jasonosmond6896]

Spooldown restart is only applicable if the engine is still spooling down. If it's cold, as it was in this video, there's no point, just go straight to the crossbleed start.

[@Suyamu]

I agree. I've done successful spooldown starts several times on the ground so far when playing around in vr and accidentally shutting down the engine by bumping into it with the hand tracking controllers. It goes something like this - "whoops, better try to put it back in idle - aaaand yep, it's coming up again - good thing it still had enough RPM". ;)

[@timobb]

I feel sure that many compressor stall explosions would completely destroy the engine in real life

[@grimreapers]

agree. I've been standing near a F-15C when compressor stalled. COMPLETEY BLEW THE REAR OF THE PLANE TO PIECES!

[@ernestwinslow7316]

Thanks Cap. Your videos are delving into the intricate part of the F-14. This was really informative. I am impressed at how fast you are getting us into these sections of the Tomcat that I never thought was implemented.

[@grimreapers]

affirm im just doing the simple bits at the moment so fast to learn and show

[@ATP-Flo]

Windmill startup: Probably the last scary noises you hear. ^^

[@Blind_Hawk]

That's a lot better than what is written in the MiG-21bis. Basically says "get out". Nice video chap gonna show it my pilot so he can save us!

[@grimreapers]

lol

[@arrtemfly]

the last engine restart method looked something like straight out of a movie! i wonder if heatblur programmed in cheeky code that makes engines restart at low alt (radar) (( and obviously high speed )) for extra dramatic effect

[@BobSmith-uu5kj]

The air is thicker at lower altitudes hence more spooling and chances of restart… but you still need to get there at high speed :-) reminds me the restart in the Flight of the Intruder.

[@lucasrayo1]

I'm still waiting for version A of the F-14, it was a classic the compressor stall just making a refuelling..

[@karoltoth9920]

It's here now

[@Pricklyhedgehog72]

that was jolly exciting!

[@ettelephonne]

Great! It happened to me one hour ago and I didn t what I should do. Thx

[@belgeode]

Cap, I am going to start calling you Bunyap Jr. These tutorials are great. Thanks sir!

[@grimreapers]

lols thx Bel!

[@OperatorPuski]

I think crossbleed starts make the most sense. Simple and efficient

[@GyntonikSoul]

can't wait to use it in 90% of my flights when the f14A come out

[@grimreapers]

lol

[@NorthernerInSpace]

I like how there is a step AFTER a failed windmill start! I’m not sure you would have been able to try that!

[@grimreapers]

lol agree

[@averageaviationgeek9318]

Maverick should've watched this before flying the F-14 (and yes I know Maverick was flying the A model)

[@Rhinozherous]

nice 😁

[@1LEgGOdt]

Can you show us this in Third Person I would like to see these sets from the outside of the Tomcat

[@MGRMoviesLOL]

Me watching this when my right engine cutout randomly in mp after taking off. Thank god i could trim the aircraft somewhat stable.

[@ScreamingElectron]

"A DOUBLE BIRDSTRIKE"

[@cabman02]

How do you bring up checklists

[@exiletsj2570]

I’m using spudknockers controls atm, I’m curious if your using something different? I use yours for absolutely every other aircraft though.

[@grimreapers]

honestly I'm not far enough in to know all the controls yet.

[@ikonane]

How did you stall the engines?

[@andrewwilkey6195]

On any jet engine you can over the gates to idle/cut off which cuts the fuel off to the engine. That'll shut it down.

[@grimreapers]

I cheated and used fuel cut

[@noemonteiro8043]

Thanks for your videos, they help us a lot. Make a video tutorial on how to use countermeasures. Make another video of how to navigate more than 3 WPT, how to navigate to 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ... WPT.

[@MegaFerrari599xx]

Noé Monteiro you cant navigate to more than 3 waypoints, it’s all the tomcats ins system supports

[@grimreapers]

all done, uploading now

[@noemonteiro8043]

Ah, I got it, thank you.

[@johjoh9270]

Question, how come you still can control the surfaces during that windmill? like, I know there's an electrical backup pump, or so I understood from the manual, but in case of losing both engines, as the Tomcat does not have an APU or battery, how does that work? Or is the pressure provided by accumulators enough to start the emergency generator?

[@antoniohagopian213]

Tomcat doesn't have fly by wire, the stick is connected to the airframe.

[@BobSmith-uu5kj]

Missile hit/proximity exploded on my f14 n got double flame out, so I am a bit late watching this from my grave. Will know next time :-)

[@Sinbad683]

LOL Double Bird strike at Flight Level 300. it must be them Albatrosses. LOL

[@Seth90]

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[@grimreapers]

lols

[@endre1010]

Thanks for this great video! I had a left engine fire and I tried to follow NATOPS manual but I did not have any luck in putting the fire out. Anyone tried it? I put throttle to idle, air source to off, fire detection test (with both lights illuminating), fuel shut-off handle pull, throttle off, climbed and decelerated, fire extinguisher, but with no luck. Next step would have been to eject, however, I was able to land the bird on the carrier. I wonder if it was just a really persistent fire or it's not simulated as much

[@Loser_-zn7wz]

I'm also trying to figure that out.

[@VinS9608]

How do I extinguish fire and then restart?🤔

[@grimreapers]

Restart after an extinguish? Not sure that's poss but will investigate.

[@VinS9608]

@@grimreapers yea baybe restart will not be possible... but is there a way to extinguish?🤔 thank you👌🏼

[@Nails077]

Looking at the thumbnail, I have to ask, is the Tomcat a biplane?

[@averageaviationgeek9318]

No, the 'lower wing' you see is the horizontal stabilizers (elevons) and the 'upper wing' is the primary wing. However, assuming you were being sarcastic, not a good one but atleast you tried. :)

[@Nails077]

@@averageaviationgeek9318 I am familiar enough with the Tomcat to know what I am looking at 😉. But the thumbnail does make it look like they are almost equal size and I was just being silly. I also thought of the Viggen which is sometimes called the world's only supersonic biplane because of its large canards and thought it might be feeling lonely and wanting some company in that category.
