Awesome story, thanks for sharing, so excited for this F-14 simulation! :)

The GE engines made that plane into the beast it should have been without the bureaucratic BS. Those PWs were made for the 111, didn't like the quick and abrupt throttle changes. Tendency to flame out.

Was that meeting with the shah at Andrews? That was the site of the F-14 - F-15 demo flyoffs and the shah was there with enourage.

The Marines never trained or even operated the F-14. The military hoped they would adopt the F-14 to replace their F4 Phantoms, but they never did

i know its been 5 years but that is an amazing story, if you ever did a full power test run on one of the engines what was it like doing that if you ever did one?

Holy crap!! Me too!! My thoughts exactly!!!

Hi Matsimus. :D Fancy seeing you here.

You fly Mat? Love your down to earth content.

😅😅 tough crowded!

Hey Hellreign if ya need a RIO hit me up! Im looking for a pilot ;) also love your content!!

Love your vids

Still not sold, need to see the systems, carrier ops, landings.

@@SpearHead1011 you can see some of this in the live stream they did, its on the channel :p

@@mrshar1000 Sure, but we never saw the RIO cockpit.

Floyd R. Turbo 😱 that loud!

@@dumitrulangham1721 For some cars it doesn't take much to set off the alarm. Like a 747-8 can do the same thing and it's not that loud compared to other planes.

@@yoyoyoyoshua "ah well you misunderstand", "well actually", "and yes but really no"

That happened in Komsomolsk na Amur with the Tu-22.

Lol

Outstanding job on the soundrack!

We couldn't have asked for a more bad ass soundtrack for the tomcat than what you produced for it. So thank you Meteor for your outstanding work on what for many of us was a childhood dream to fly.

thanks for the soundtrack

Your soundtrack makes this thing blast like a Meteor \m/

Only discovered the album last week, it's been on endless replay ever since!

good to see you here :), I've honestly never been so excited about something coming in DCS

when the game has better sound effects than real life: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aa6XiK2Fl-DIiac.html this is a video of the airshow that they pretty much copied

@@thegloriousretardmagnet4257 the sound effects in this video are not ingame sounds, its fake

CoolGuyHMR WT 👍😍

Well mirage got a damn sexy look too... But F14 got this little something that makes you feel reeeeeally nasty and badass :p

It never fails to amaze me that such a massive aircraft as the F-14 can turn like it does. Truly amazing design.

The slightly hunched up wing roots and angled out nacelles is what does it for me. Every time. Flankers have the same canted nacelles but they have flat wing roots, so it is not quite as dramatic looking.

Solonar TV 👍👏

SU-37 got better curves

You're lucky... the most powerful display I've seen live was a two ship of T-6es or a single E300S, whichever is more powerful :)

A lucky one you are, I was too young to have been fortunate to see one at a show. And i never will.....plenty of F-4U's tho right!

I was lucky enough in the 70's -80's to live next to NAS Miramar and knew a few Pilots, so was able to see the Tomcat up close. Best aircraft ever built.

One day someone will get access to an iranian one as a civilian stripped model. Rebuild it, and fly it at shows. Happens with so many ex military planes. I will be at that show for sure. They never flew these at air shows near me as a kid.

I once had vulcan XH558 do a full power climb straight overhead (it was showing over the Dartmouth regatta and we happened to be under the flight path). the f-14 may have reheat but i dont think anything could beat the feeling of 4 Rolls-Royce Olympus engines hitting 100% power.

Correct me if i'm wrong but, Isn't the F-22 the most powerful fighter US has ever produced with maximum thrust of ~35,000 Lbs each engine? Also I believe some F-15 variants used the F110 turbofan engine.

oDieseLz Actually the most powerful engine produced to date is the F35’s P & w F135 at 43,000 pounds of thrust.

@@oneflyline96 Yeah, but last I checked, the F-35 only got one them. And it will NEVER surpass the sex appeal of the legendary F-14.

Kitsune legend I was speaking from an engine point of few. But in reference to the Tomcat. You are 100% correct sir! My all time favourite fighter aircraft. I cannot wait for the release 😆

What even at 12G! No stress that pretty sturdy aircraft

you've obviously never heard of bms

@@GZA036 Lmao BMS avionics and flight model have nothing on Heatblur or ED modules.

@@SatThuVoBui hahaha yeah.... you officially have no idea what you're talking about

@@GZA036 Because I made a factually correct statement? Lmao okay snowflake. You're the one who's wanting to imply that a sim based on a 20 year old game engine and code can match or exceed the fidelity in systems modeling and flight model performance of a competitor using updated technology to model those things. Be a fanboy all you want, but I'm placing my bets with 21st century wind-tunneling technology to produce a better representation of aircraft performance than whatever was available in 1998.

@@SatThuVoBui Place bets all you want... I don't think you've actually looked into bms

😮😮 wow you flew a legend❤

Mr. Starfighter Imagine the backlash if it wasn’t.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q956oamHy5bQoqs.html here...they have it months now on youtube

theres a great mod for the f 18 hmu for it

Agreed, that thing sounds AMAZING

@@akisakis7980 He refers to the engines sound not the soundtracks.

RavenOne Shame the USA destroying as many as possible

Totally agree

greywolf added a video with multiple views on his channel.

Gryff 😍👍make that two!

Three.

@@Eleolius Christmas? Consider yourself lucky if we get it by then end of this winter... We are talking here about Heatblur and DCS.

Relax, it's just a computer game

Well said Kyle. :) The F-14 Tomcat was and is a very special plane. The engineering and technology that went into were first rate and very innovative, especially with its swing-wing design, which provides a phenomenal combination of high speed and excellent maneuverability. No other plane in the world can do what the Tomcat could and can do. Sadly, it was retired after the cold war was over and long range threats from Soviet bombers no longer existed. Unfortunately, the powers that be that cancelled the Tomcat program were not very forward thinking and now, just a few short years later, our aircraft carriers are now facing the very real threat of long range anti-ship missiles. To counter this threat, a very high speed interceptor/fighter is needed to be able to intercept enemy planes that can launch these anti-ship missiles. Both the F/A-18 Hornet and F-35 the Navy currently is using are about 400 mph slower than the F-14 Tomcat, leaving them comparatively very deficient in defending our aircraft carriers. That's a huge speed advantage the F-14 Tomcat provides and can make the difference between one of our aircraft carriers being hit with anti-ship missiles or not. The need for the F-14 Tomcat has once again arisen, if that need ever even went away. Grumman has the next evolutionary step of the F-14 Tomcat all ready to go in blueprints. It's an amazing, even better plane than the F-14 Tomcat and is known as the F-14 Super Tomcat. This plane needs to be built and the sooner the better. As a side benefit, building this plane would put thousands of Americans to work at a time we need that most. Here is the link to this outstanding plane; www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/29653/this-is-what-grummans-proposed-f-14-super-tomcat-21-would-have-actually-looked-like?fbclid=IwAR2gopwZXDPcnQsK7GLiqt1Clf-DFMi5VesHRAUjcQRmy2GH-ndkm36fKmk

Tell me why "Graywolf" sounds like a acecombat squadron or callsighn

Micke Mike 👍😍👏

They sold it to all of us, problem is we gave them money and there is no game in return.... I would appreciate this much more if i would actually posses what i have payed.

I laughed, I laughed out of joy when those engines, during AB, turned to the screen.

Yeah, please!!, someone knows if these are actual sounds?

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q956oamHy5bQoqs.html here it is...they have it on youtube months now

@@minininja881 Obvious 😂

@@TheNikplay I said "Fuuuuck. Meeee." lol :) so happy, took me back to airshows with my dad. I can smell the JP5!

No shame in that my friend!!❤

I wonder if we'll ever find out what happened to Harley???...

Their viggen still uses the standard Su-25 engine sound.

Certainly did his homework
