Overwatch was a Fan of the F-14 Tomcat

F-14s were in US service until 2006 so yeah she was probably born by then

@@williamkim5960 Oops! You're right, Sep-2006. *

It’s all about paying respect to the true star of the first movie and my kids now know what a Tomcat is!

No tail hook and no front landing gear makes for a great Hollywood movie. *

Welcome to hollywood

The F-14 had no tail hook because it was land based.

Then the scene where he pulls doesnt give off much tension if the runway is long without obstacles, for me as a normal guy who doesnt know wht about planes all i was thinking was how would they land it cuz i didnt know smthng like barrier exists

@@nvignesh barriers were used in WWII to prevent the landing planes from hitting the parked planes, and also to stop damaged planes returning from missions. Later in the jet era, the angled deck was created; therefore, the landing planes were unlikely to run into parked planes. But you need the barriers in case that you lose the tail hook.
