[@Halo9K]

@@trob1731 Two movies that remind me of my time in the Navy for different reasons. The Final Countdown came out when I was first in the Navy and on my first ship, USS Gray (FF 1054). The dialogue was a bit hokey but the story was interesting. The best part was when the Cats played with the Zeros. I can only imagine what the Japanese pilots were thinking as they saw the Cats in action. Fiction to be sure, but fun. The second movie was Top Gun, of course, it came out as I was on recruiting duty in the Dallas Metroplex (Richardson). Virtually every guy who came in wanted to be an F-14 Tomcat pilot! Of course, enlisted personnel had almost no chance of doing that unless qualified for those rare enlisted to officer programs. There was one guy who came in who mentioned the movie (and I thought 'here we go') but wanted to know if he could get into something that would let him work on the flight deck! It was hard to contain my enthusiasm! Took a bit of doing but we were able to accommodate him. Fun days! I miss those times. Very proud of my time in the Navy. My last two ships were the USS America (CV 66) where I got to see numerous flight ops and the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) of which I am a plank owner (original crew) and on which I made Chief Petty Officer. I witnessed the coming of the Hornets which eventually replaced the Tomcats. I never really liked the Hornets, on vulture's row they put out too much heat to be able to watch launch and recovery. Never a problem with the Tomcats. I miss them.

Such a great fighter. Should have kept them in production and upgraded avionics/engines and airframe (continuously). They are an iconic and star attraction in any aviation museum. I wish I had the opportunity to see one fly. No doubt the Suoer Hornet is good but it carries nowhere near the wow factor of the Tomcats held.

[@MikoyanGurevichMiG21]

Now to see them fly you need a trip all the way to Iran.

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodf1802]

Same with the Phantom, such a shame they retired them

[@markjackson7650]

They were a truly beautiful and advanced aircraft for their time but were way too expensive to operate and were outperformed by newer, cheaper and more versatile aircraft like the super hornet. I actually think as a fan of the f14 it was better to see it die a hero rather than outlive it's usefulness a bit like the A10 has done.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Unfortunately good looks and wow-factor are not a reason to keep a weapon systems in one's arsenal. This thing was a nightmare to maintain and complicated to fly.

I sure do miss the Tomcats they were the best far better than the hornet as a fighter interceptor, plus better fuel range as well, not to mention nobody else can carry the phoenix missile with a range over 100 nautical miles. When the 14D's came out in the 90's we should had kept them going. But know the excuse was because Iran has 14's and we didn't want them to get any parts so we got rid of all of ours. It's not like we couldn't build a newer better version of what worked. Now we have nothing that can carry the phoenix missile. I wonder how many of those are in storage somewhere?

Fun Fact: The F-14 would rarely (if at all) fly fully loaded with all of its weapons because if it didn't fire any, it would surpass its max landing weight.

[@briancooper2112]

With phoenix missles.

[@Helloverlord]

Will drop them cold just before landing then...

[@adambydand1214]

Tomcat crews have refuted this "fact" countless times. Tomcats could land with 6x AIM-54s, but would need to be at fuel state 4.0 or less. A Tomcat loaded with Fleet Defense BRAVO (6x AIM-54s, 2x AIM-9s) more than likely wouldn't be returning the boat with all of them, anyway... The objective of this loadout was to eliminate a Soviet bomber formation enroute to destroy a carrier group. Any time a Tomcat needed to be loaded in this configuration on a carrier was a necessity to defender Mother.

[@TreeBarkSide]

@@adambydand1214 Thats what I said. If it's fully loaded, then it is fully loaded with missiles and gas.

[@adambydand1214]

@@TreeBarkSide No, you said they couldn't land with 6x AIM54s on board as it would surpass it's max landing weight. Again, incorrect - as stated. You're not going to get an order to load up on 6x AIM54s to fly around the boat once and trap. That's a loadout purpose-built for Warning Red Weapons Free.

The F-14 is an interesting case study in perceived needs diverging from military utility. As we all know, the F-14, once the unreliable and underperforming A and B models were updated to the D standard, it was an interceptor par excellence - except for a equally specialized airframes like MiG-25, it was very nearly the best. But that made for problems. It was a lacking air-superior fighter compared to even much older naval fighters like F-4, and totally outclassed by any land-based fighter of similar vintage. It was massive, a maintenance hog, and had very low ‘up’ rates compared to even Soviet tactical aircraft - problematic but tolerable ashore, but major deficiencies at sea. What’s more, the heavy F-14 presence aboard USN carriers in the late Cold War meant only a very minor strike wing could be deployed aboard - largely obviating the utility of those carriers in the first place. The F-14 was a brilliant interceptor, but an utter failure as a naval fighter. Politics in the Capital and in the Pentagon forced it on the Navy, but it’s short service life even with comprehensive and extremely costly upgrades packages make it clear just how ill-suited it was.
