Little did people know at the time, the level of greatness they were witnessing that will be remembered for decades to come. We are talking exactly 20 years on and still everyone gets mind blown by the absolutely insane power of the Tomcat, presence, panache and harmony of brute force with beauty. What a fighter!

[@glennlandry7714]

Bring back the F-14 Tomcat. Amazing aircraft.

[@ericblom9568]

Keep the bug, gimme the Cat, say I!!!

[@harrywisniewski5017]

Why? It’s old and outdated

[@reapertalon]

​@harrywisniewski5017 fair. But with upgrades and a modernization package (Similar to the F15) it could still be competitive, the only issue I see is streamlining the maintenance costs and lowering them

[@jonn443]

The only thing sexier than one f-14 tomcat is SIX F-14 Tomcats flying in formation.

[@KLRGT500KR]

F14 was the boss there. The brutal power and absolute earth shattering noise. It really stole the show. Also, some of those maneuvers were so tight, it was mind blowing!

[@rogermahajan7586]

Loved how the F-14 rolled inverted and then came straight down towards the camera as if it is coming down directly at the camera. The greatest fighter ever made.

[@zwanso]

I love love love the F-14 tomcat. It will always be my favorite!

[@r0tb3rt]

I was lucky enough to ride in a Tomcat several years ago. As someone who grew up with Top Gun and has always been fascinated by aviation I can clearly say that these 45 Minutes have been the blast of my life and I was sad when it retired.

[@tomlathrop4094]

As much as I love watching the Blue Angels I prefer this type of airshow.

[@timruskowski4923]

The turn at 7:04 makes me have goosebumps! I can only imagine what it felt/sounded like when the sound hit you!

[@ratedrodwoods5716]

Long live the true 👑 f-14 forever the best

[@mandoruiz619]

That airshow was lit

[@CarFocused]

F18’s are impressive, but the F14’s hit different. Wings swept back they are the most beautiful aircraft ever.

[@stevelinwood8362]

Luv this! Went to many Airshows in my life!

[@garydobbs5159]

Tomcats we’re the prettiest fighters ever!! You can’t beat the sound. They had a unique engine sound.

[@jakeenglish4974]

"There will be hornets, there will be tomcats, there will be lots of noise and you are gonna love it" Truer words have never been spoken

[@pureblood8198]

I sure wish there were a few flying in Air shows. They would get a huge crowd.

[@aryanpers7726]

The most beautiful airplane ever exists is F14 Tomcat!

[@RedLP5000S]

The U.S. Navy should have never retired the Tomcat. She was the greatest combat fighter in history. 🇺🇸💯

[@speckleddaddy]

I know what a bunxh of losers they should've kept like 10 for airshows and fly overs

[@reapertalon]

I can feel the freedom being dispensed from here

[@kmfiz]

0:45 I wish I heeded that advise back then. I did get to see the F-14 many times, now I miss it.

[@BJbear2001]

This camera had some great tracking. Excellent captures!

[@paidofftruck]

gosh damn i love those fly boys

[@mfuji02]

cool explosions & close fly by

[@jonn443]

I love the paint scheme on the F-14B at 16:30.

Tomcat Awesomeness 1:24

[@OneCupOfCoffee204]

That was a different America. She may be down on one knee but she's not out.

[@Midnight_Wave_1989]

Just imagine if the F-14 ever became the Blue Angels jets

[@keilylmm6377]

Awesome 🇱🇷

[@hotdog557]

The tomcat was like when hulk hogan would come out and wrestle as a kid 😂

[@TexasNativee]

1:25 amazing footage

Man they were flying fast that day

[@juggernautpig2650]

Those F14s though

[@jamescannon220]

This would have been sweet to see. The awesome part is these are not the Blues or a dedicated airshow team squadron (But I'd be shocked if at least a handful of these pilots had not become Blue's pilots since '04). The squadron is just doing what they do for a living. I mean 6 Tomcats in a pretty tight formation over an airstrip is rare to see anymore. I really miss this guy's voice at airshows. I googled it, but not too much and I cannot find his name. He loved watching these shows as much as we do.

[@samashkannejad8440]

As IRANIAN THANKS TO USA AND GOD BLESS MY KING SHAH OF IRAN WE COULD HAVE F_14 TOMCAT,GOD BLESS USA AND TRUMP ,STILL IS EAGLE OF PERSIAN GOLF,,

[@vicariousjohnson9823]

Zoom OUT for crying out loud

[@jakeenglish4974]

Can someone explain the sound at 6:22 through 6:23?

[@BurnerAirDisplay]

Splash One Modelworks Simulated cluster and general purpose bomb explosion.

[@jakeenglish4974]

Burner IRST Air show videos thank you! I love the content as I am too young to have seen the f-14 irl, please never stop!

[@BurnerAirDisplay]

Thanks! enjoy🍺

[@mikey10184]

Give me a hornet and tomcat any day over an f35/22

[@flipakine]

first pass. delta wing formation in a..... delta wing formation. lol

[@marioolschewski8665]

Hear and fear the ROAAAR of the Tomcat. The mighty silhouette, the Sound, a great Fighter. The Hornet is a joke 🤮

[@jonn443]

The F-14 is Superior in every aspect, except for avionics which unfortunately is a large part of the aircraft's capabilities. But boy is she pretty (and fast as hell).

[@shawnmchenry9068]

The hornet would make the tomcat look like a joke sad but true

[@jonn443]

@@shawnmchenry9068 , not from 50 miles away+. The only time the F-18 would best the 14 would be in CLOSE ATA combat... Within 10 miles and in. But she'd probably be dead already before even seeing the F-14. The AGM-54 is a beast of a missile.
