Sorry for the jittery/shaky cam. I didn't realize it until after the fact (and no one mentioned it in the stream) but I guess OBS was hanging up slightly and having issues rendering. A thousand apologies. Will do better next time (although sadly not in part TWO because it's the same session). Had a blast flying the TOMCAT.

Rio: "This aircraft requires smooth inputs and finesse." Mover: *Over-Gs at 600 kts* "TOMCATS!"

I’m laughing just thinking that the original pilots flew around randomly proclaiming TOMCAT.

We find that the F-14 flat spin was induced by the disruption of airflow into the starboard engine. This disruption stalled the engine. Which produced enough yaw rate to induce a spin which was unrecoverable. There was no way Lt. Mover could either see or avoid the jet wash which produced the engine stall. Therefore the board of inquiry finds Lt. Mover is not at fault. His record will be cleared of this incident. Lt. Mover is returned to flight status without further delay!

33 minutes of Top Gun references and Tomcat tomfoolery. I love it.

"Sir, I'm already task saturated . . ." Pretty much me every time I boot up DCS.

Lmao...you guys need a weekly show flying together in this

WE GOT MOVER IN THE PAPA TOMCAT MY DREAMS ARE COMPLETE.

In 1988 I was 13 years old and living just outside San Diego, for a short while, and my neighbor was an instructor at Miramar. I think the instructions name was Mike. Well Mike pulled his Ford Bronco out his garage one day and asked his son if he wanted to go to the base with him. I was so jealous and stunned when his son said no! Then Mike turned to me and asked if I wanted to go with him 😲 I had to ask my parents permission but that didn't take long! I had one of the most memorable days of my life! I remember us driving down a road inside the base and there was a manhole in the road with wisps of steam or something rising out of it! Then we parked and walk towards the jets with the hanger on my left. There was some training jet to my left that was white and red and looked like a pregnant guppy. There were some "training" missiles on some trolleys there too, must have been sidewinders and I was convinced that they weren't training missiles, they were real!!! We went inside the empty hanger and went upstairs. We went into a room that had pictures of some Russian jets on the walls and a picture of Gorbachev I think. Maybe a Russian flag? Then we went back downstairs and outside where I walked up some stairs next to an F14 and did my best to look inside! Oh my hat I was in heaven! But the best was yet to come! Next we walked out onto the runway and stood out in the open. Mike had a radio that he was using to talk to someone, that someone was one of the guys flying one of the several F14's that I could see making a right turn to line up with the runway! I remember the soot out the jets as the pilots adjusted speed but the best was when they did their touch and go only a few meters away from me and hit the afterburners!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The flames out the back of the jets engines were blue with a bit of orange in it and the noise was so loud I thought the atoms in my body were going to fly apart!!!!!! What an amazing experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My family came back to South Africa after 3 months in the USA but I will NEVER forget that trip to the base to watch the F14 Tomcats! Next bucket list thing is to watch a rocket launch... I'm sad I'm going to miss SpaceX's launch next week but i'm sure it's just the first of many launches.

“Your g meter is down on your bottom right” “Oh yeah you mean the one that says 9 I’m just gonna go ahead and punch that off”

I'm not a pilot. I'm not in the military. Why do I love this channel so much? I can't get to work in the morning until I watch a couple of these videos. Love the random words just before takeoff. LOL

The comments from the back were hilarious. This might be the best episode yet.

This is some of the most hilarious content on this website. I lost it when ray said "the gun must be misaligned sir"

"Well, there's a lot less sound now." I'm dead. OMG I haven't laughed that hard since I was a little girl.

"Are you looking straight up", Rio: "What? No" . i dont know why but it got me lol

That is neat. My father in law worked on the Tomcat on board the Nimitz. As a mechanic, he hated it tho. He said that nothing on it was simple and absolutely everything was complicated and took a very long time to work on.

Best part, ejection with no notice...I could only imagine.. (parachuting down) RIO: “that was a fine display of flying sir” lol

I nursed out laughing when he reset the g-meter and said he wouldn’t tell maintenance. This is aviation life!

Video starts with an actual flat-spin out to sea, with Mover directly quoting Top Gun. Never change Mover, never change. Your pilot shenanigans always make me a happy man.

Great video, a buddy of mine I have known since our early twenties and I who are both retired pilots and in our late 60's fly like this on DCS. Sounds about the same with our conversations, laughing and screwups. Pilots bodies grow old but their mind's are still in their twenties. Fun to watch.

"We are ACTUALLY in a flat spin headed out to sea". Perfect.

My Grandfather was on the team from Grumman that designed and built the F14. You could tell from listening to him talk about it that it was something special. The F14 IMHO is a beautiful piece of art work.

"Your G-meter is bottom right" - "Oh, that one that says 9?" haha!

Can't believe Ray didn't hit you with "We've got no fuel for this."

Must say I am extremely impressed with the detail of that cockpit. I was a Tomcat mechanic for many years until they were unfortunately decommissioned. Spent many hours in the cockpit performing maintenance turns and that detail is spot on. Great job Major, always a pleasure to watch your videos. TOMCATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'Talk to me Goose'

“How do I flip you off ?” 10/10 for realism 👍🏻👍🏻🤣

Rio: I've got a daughter here, I've never met her. And um, I'm going to orphan her today" *in a calm voice* 🤣🤣🤣

idea for some folds of honor fund raising: raffle to win a dog fight with mover in DCS

Permission to buzz the tower?

I loved this video. Just the sheer amount of TOP GUN references shows that these guys spent large part of their childhood watching TOP GUN over and over again, just like I did. LOVED it!! Thanks for a great channel, Lemoine. Nice to see you have a good mix of informative videos (I have learned a lot) and entertaining ones. Keep up the good work!

"You just have to make sure the bullets hit him." Best advise ever.

"you gotta let him go sir" saddest moment in the entire movie

I was totally expecting you to yell out Tomcats as you ejected from the aircraft lmao.

LOL i lost it when after all of their tongue in cheek top gun references they get in a literal flat spin out to sea. This is great.

I admire your hard work that allowed to fly without any hands. That’s some dedication and it’s inspiring!

"RIOs keep their mouth shut back there" "Pilots get randomly ejected up front."

love how he goes to the end of the runway and then tries to squat the tomcat into the vertical like a hornet lol

If you don't get in a flat spin on your first TOMCAT flight, you're not doing it right. 😅 Great video Mover.

Best video so far Mover! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

“A good RIO just keeps his mouth shut back there.” Lol

Tomcats! This was a fun one to watch. Thanks for the vids, Mover!

That was awesome guys. Great recovery from that flat spin. Love the channel "Mover".

"My helmet has more traps than you!" Yep, that made me giggle like a loon. While at the office, so now my boss is looking at me with the "wtf are you doing?"-look :P Worth it!

The F14 is just a big ol’ beautiful beast. It really is a large aircraft. It’s kind of like the Cadillac of road cars. Just a classic that always looks good and rides good. 😁

Court Martial and FAA inquiry: "Why did you run off the runway?" Tomcats!

Your most entertaining DCS video to date (by far). Good stuff.

Enjoyed this one a lot Mover. As Ray said; definitely one of the more ‘alive’ modules in DCS. A tonne of fun to boot Analogue as hell for sure Tomcats!

"Oh, i think we're good...I'm gonna go ahead and run the ditching checklist..."

Oh my gosh that was so funny! You two ought do this team piloting all the time, I've not laughed so hard in weeks! Your GTA video is just priceless!

He finally flew it! The mighty f14!! Heatblur did an amazing job on this module, my favourite by far!

6:22 "GET R DONE!!!" and hits the throttle. Love that part. Sounds like it would be great battle cry.

I'm calling it Kuh-nots from now on, thank you :D

3 minutes in and, ''Can we bomb the motorcycle?'' pops up. Knew this would be fun :)

Best video so far man, thanks for that! Had a blast watching

That was some dope content.....Ray is definitely the best guy out there for playin' DCS with...

For flat spin recovery I'm usually using asymmetrical thrust, and rudder :) BTW Tomcat is not an easy lover, she is very powerful, but headstrong. At low speed if you are not handle her with care, she is going to the opposite direction haha

Say “Tomcats” again. I double dare you.

He is the best Rio ever. Ray has such a calming voice right before you die.

You and Ray are so funny and entertaining together. You guys together take the cake.

TOMCATS! LOL

"I'm just going to eat my sandwich back here, remember, land parallel to swells or into the wind."

I stopped the video to like and comment. The first five minutes are pure gold for 80s kids. You sir are a true Kenny Powers level American 🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸

Oh man, this is still the best looking and best feeling module in DCS. Especially in VR. Glad to see you having fun with it! And don't forget, that's 5 bucks fine for every Top Gun reference!!! :D

*Pilot pulls 9g* RIO - Sir, I’m after spilling my coffee back here! 😅

RIO "Sir you can over g the aircraft, and the wings will separate" MOVER "Well, the night is young"

Ur RIO is hilarious, I really enjoy the 2 of you flying as a team like this

Mover. This is so funny. I've watched it 3 times now and laughed every time. I'm waiting eagerly for part 2.

"you can stop talking now, its time for pilot stuff" "oh im sorry sir" LOL Also did you just call Mover Mavlet?

"This Hud is in Spanish!". LoLs "Wait wait, you just fired 2!". "Ya, well, he'll die".

Best dcs video yet! Had fun watching this! 👍👍

Comedy value of it is huge !!! I would suggest to keep this like it is :) Too much fun ...

"What did you learn about the F-14 today?" *TOMCATS!*

0:20 Man Im no expert but at that point id probably eject and say peace out suckers.

Pukin' Dogs! My Dad was a Tomcat RIO in that squadron back in the early '80s. Awesome.

Best DCS episode yet, hilarious! Thanks a lot! 😂🤣

Yeah, it's an entirely different kitty than an F-18 or F-16: there are no computers that point the jet where you point the stick at for you. That, together with her mass, huge sweeping wings and those top spoilers, make it an art to keep her in the envelope. But, if you can master her, and learn to take advantage of the bucket loads of thrust you have at your disposal, she's hard to beat in a dog fight. ;-)

I love flying that aircraft and once you learn it I has the potential of being the best air superiority fighter in dcs and it can be so fun having a radar intercept officer in the back working everything

That was one HECK of a recovery out of that flat spin....I know DCS does its level best to be as real as it can with physics compared to the real world.....sooooo....as far as THAT is concerned that was one HECK a recovery, Mover! :)

Well done sir, great flying, world's greatest!

“Can we bomb the motorcycles?”

F-14, best DCS experience. Period.

Definitely one of the best modules in the game. Heard some great stories about the Tomcat during a 50th Anniversary Facebook live event, one RIO describing a 65K foot climb using the Rutowski method by the pilot, where they hit mach 2.2.

That was so funny and enjoyable to watch look forward of more.

you have so gotta 'buzz' the tower...

This happend when a Hornet Driver try´s to fly the Mighty Cat ;-)

This is hands down my favorite DCS youtube video.

Awesome video. Been waiting for this for a while! Mover! Put out those combat flaps when you’re BFM! 230-360 knots. That buffet smooths out and she turns like a Spitfire. 👍🏻

16:55 nothing wrong with the gun dude, you didnt have radar lock so no radar gunsight, youre using old school aiming lol

Entertainment value 10/10. Will take more of this please.

Love the videos, Mover!

Hilarious. So pleased you had a good time messing around in this module, it's such fun with a friend. The ""scratch left testicle" is going on my checklist now.

I joined the Navy shortly after TG came out. After doing two Wes Pacs aboard the Carl Vinson and Ranger I got "bored" with seeing, hearing, smelling and feeling Tomcats. The Navy was in a real transitional phase so at any given time we'd have F-14's, the "new" F/A -18, A6, EA6B, A7, S3, Hawkeye, COD, CH46, HH-70's, "Desert Ducks"(CH-53E's) and probably a couple more I missed. Even had an old hangar queen F4 Phantom for the crash/deck crew to practice with(shell only). Even had a C9 do a shit hot one day while out near "Santa Clause"(San Nicolas) island one day. On a carrier, the fwd mess is almost directly under Cat II. So everytime someone was shot you'd hear the shuttle. Out in the fleet, the Tomcat was nicknamed the "Turkey" because when you see them in the groove, you can really see those big control surfaces flapping around...as well as the long straight wing. Last time I saw one was at Oshkosh about 15 years or so ago. Capt Dale "Snort" Snodgrass was doing the airshow demo and a form flight with a P-51 and an F4U Corsair IIRC.

Man, DCS has gotten so much better over 2 years

Best 'front seat/other guy' chatter!! Had me grinning from ear to ear😁

This is great! I could listen to your chatter all day long!

Great video. Made in just the right spirit. Love it!

Dear "Mover"...I simply LOVE your review video's and video's playing DCS World. Glad you had a blast in the F-14. I don't have that yet. But having a HELL of a time in my A-10. LOL

Dude, I think the Tomcat is still the coolest looking jet. I really enjoyed this

TOMCATS! Highly entertaining. Thank you!
