The F-14 Tomcat's First Deployment Aboard the USS Enterprise (March, 1975)

VF-1 had the coolest markings applied to the Tomcat. What a machine!

[@BluFor18]

Definitely agreed. I love how all the aircraft in the squadrons were in their full colorful markings back then. It's a shame I can't find raw footage like this of other squadrons during the same time frame.

I was on the Kitty Hawk the Tomcat was a awesome addition Loved watching a group of F-14 buzz the Hawk

[@timw6596]

I was there and remember the sounds...... I could hear them while watching the video !

[@BluFor18]

That’s awesome! I wish there could have been audio to this footage

[@harmgregory4560]

No sound?

[@BluFor18]

No, the original videos have no audio capture

[@RocketToTheMoose]

I'm guessing most of this was taken with 8mm home movie cameras, most of which did not have sound.
