Worked on them for two years in the early 80's and took the kids out of school to see them do a final farewell flyover in 2006 at the Calverton Plant where they were built. I started to cry when the disappeared over the trees and I knew I'd never see another one fly again. One of a kind aircraft, nothing we have ever produced has ever come close to it....

[@ftgrat1]

gtc1961I was pretty sad when I heard they were being retired in 2006. The Tomcat looks like a fighter should! Wow its amazing how time flies! 9 years without our F-14. Grumman kicked some major butt during my time in the Navy! USS JFK 1980- 1982. Thank you for your excellent work!!!!

[@866Infernus]

i just wish they would recomission it or something, by 2006 i was still a small kid with no interest in aircraft but now i just want to fly one

[@HvyMetal4Ever]

I got to A-School in '98 to be an AD. I told the 1st class I want to go to a Tomcat squadron. 20 years later I still remember his reaction, along with many other 1st classes "HAHAHHAHA - no you don't!" It was the most beautiful jet the US had to offer. I was just a museum in Oakland that has one they are restoring for static display, and I had to spend time with it. She is just as graceful in 2018, as she was the day she rolled off the line.

[@SuperDiablo101]

You mentioned that you worked on the almighty & Legendary F-14 for two years?? Now this is my Favorite Aircraft of all time and there is so much that it had and still could have had going for it to this day i just dont understand why they got rid of such a one and only aircraft that literally inspired children of the 70s 80s 90s and even 2000s to become aviators

Mans reaction was top tier. Held nothing back. Life meant nothing but those tomcats for those moments

[@KLRGT500KR]

The guy's reaction was what used to happen when people saw the F-14s performing at air shows. If you think blue angels were impressive, F-14s especially flown by 'Snort' Snodgrass was on another level. It was not about making cute little hearts in precision formation in the skies. Tomcat was all about brute, pulse pounding power and performance. It was a total beast and it let you know it was not playing around. Tomcat would literally make your heart shake in your chest. 'Snort' would come in guns blazing at 600 knots just 50 feet over the ground yanked the stock doing quick aileron rolls right followed by a hard full reversal left pulling 9+ G swapping ends at high AoA generating huge vapors just 50 feet over the ground. People used to go wild as the ground rumbled from the engine sound and the F-14 climbed vertically straight up with those big 30 feet flames out pushing the Tomcat straight over your head of those afterburners into the clouds doing aileron rolls like the a corkscrew all the way till it vanished in the clouds 20,000 feet above. It was really the king of the skies. RIP legend!

I’ve said it many a time on KZbin, I’ve been blessed and fortunate enough to watch them out at sea flying low, from aft of our ship, one on each side, port and starboard coming in fast and when they were about 30-40 yards out in front of the ship, they nosed straight up with afterburners full bore and left dents in the water underneath. It’ll never stop being my favorite plane of all time. Anytime Baby! 😎

@Dogapsa Hi! I just retired this week from raytheon, every week I used to have to go harvest parts in the AAMARC off of Kolb road. There are over 600+ F-14,15,16& AV-8B which were retired before reaching half of their service life. They were retired early to create a artifical "urgent" need for the JSF, about a quarter of this group still have "new car smell". The US Taxpayer screwed again.

[@30AndHatingIt]

You still around, man? I'm in the early stages of planning for a video that's along the lines of an "in defense of" thing regarding the F-14, and I'm painfully aware of the fact it was prematurely retired. I'd love to ask you a few questions about the experiences you touched on in your comment, if you'd like to contribute that is. Lemme know, shoot me a message to the email in my about section, or comment on one of my videos, or just reply here. Thanks!

You are correct. However, these A/Bs are not lit on this pass. You would have been able to see them lit as dark as it was. They would blow out car windows if they lit them at that speed. Could they have done it...sure, absolutely, however, prior incidents of property damage prevented it. You are right about the F-18 but here is the comparison. F-18 engine 18000 pds of thrust. F-14 B/D 27-30000 pds of thrust. If you want me to explain further send me an email..

When we started the Afghanistan Champaign in 2001, I arrived in Marsh-al-Sharif on 11 November 2001, As we colasped the A-Queda and Taliban back South the Only AC we had were long range B-52s and B-1s from Diego Garcia, and F-14Ds from the carriers. As I ground pounder I prefered the F-14 cruzin around with 2x 2000lbs JDAMs. Now they(and I) are retired and the US Navy is looking for a long range platform. Super Hornets can not fly very far without a refuel.

"TOMCATS!" that line gets me i wish they werent outdated

[@2ZZGE100]

They were not outdated at all. The F-14D Super Tomcat had some of the most modern and advanced avionics including a brand new APG-71 radar, which was the most advanced in the 90s. The GE-F110 engines with 60,000 lbsf gave it monster power. It had the highest number of sorties in its final year when it was being used in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Yeah, it was costly to maintain, but considering the type of versatility it had to accomplish missions it was capable of performing, it was totally justified. It was killed due to terrible Congress politics including Dick Cheney's politics against Grumman.

[@Nikon23462]

I know this because I spent 6 years working on that plane and another 2 working on the engines. I know what they sound like with A/Bs a blazing. Those are F-14Ds with a more powerful engine. If it was an A model A/B might have been used. F-14 B/D hardly use their A/Bs accept during airshows. A models use them all the time. This video was shot after all A models were retired.
