This is some of the best F14 footage on UA-cam. The F14 engine whistle on approach/flyby is something glorious and special. When an F14 was in the air, you would know.
The energy addition is insane on the F-14 with the GE-F110. He keeps shutting off zone 5 afterburners in order to avoid over-G'ing the airframe. The one and only. The greatest. The best thing Navy ever got. "Anytime Baby!"
The GE-110 engines of the B and D had just 3 "zones" of afterburner, the TF-30 did indeed have 5 "zones" of afterburner equipement. The TF-30 in Zone 3(out of 5 available) afterburner output the same thrust as the GE110 at military thrust(full dry thrust).
I keep coming back to this video over the years. Not only due it being another awesome F-14 video from Burner IRST, but also this video is one of the best out there at picking up that mean sounding whine while in AB, that is unique to the GE powered Tomcats. Though you can clearly hear the whine numerous times, at the 4:40 mark the plane is far enough away from the camera while in AB, that the whine is audibly isolated even better.
EliteGoCrazyy- Not entirely sure where, but I’ve heard someone say it could be coming from the surface between the engines. Happens every time G’s are pulled.
Since he is flying slick and probably around 4000 lbs of fuel, the thrust to weight is significantly higher than 1:1 in this demo with a weight of around 48000 lbs. He keeps taking it out of zone 5 afterburners because the energy addition rate is so high during rolling maneuvers, he is trying to prevent pulling too many G's and getting a write-up.
One cut 3:25 through 4:05. Pulling G's, at 3:54 we get some vapour cloud formation over the fuselage in the low pressure area created by the wings and lifting body effect inherent in the F-14 design. Lining up for a straffing run and at 3:58 as she passes by she flashes her "Turkey feathers" to us with a deploy of her air brake. All the extreme forces being channeled through those titanium wing boxes built in the worlds largest electron beam welding vacuum chamber at the time(80,000 square feet) to build the 2,000 pound 6AL 4V titanium wingbox, 900 pounds less than your typical bolted metal construction of the time. 22 feet long comprised of 35 titanium sub assemblies welded together with 70 vacuum welds, some of them 2-1/2" thick. The testing that Grumman had to go through to prove the design was incredible. The Navy didnt like welded "primary structures", preferring such structures to be "bolted" together. The first 34 of the production wingboxs were structurally load tested to 115% to prove to the Navy that the welded titanium wingboxes were sound. The Navy got decades of reliable service from the Grumman produced titanium-works. The forces involved to launch and land these amazing birds at sea are massive and very impressive. Awesome video!
Absolutely. I was VF-101 89-91and I always tell people that the "practice" shows were actually better than what you saw at the real shows. I think the pilots pushed the envelope a little more being above a military base and knowing that if they crashed they would only kill us squids instead of a bunch of civilians. Worth the risk to me.
tomcat solo demo has to have been the best fun .. look good the entire time, no formation crap, just beat up the airfield with low level passes..... just awesome
that lens flare at 3:50 actually looks like your looking through the HUD and putting the pip on a target. may not have been intentional but its a nice accent.
Staying in full afterburner, the F14 will run completely out of fuel in just 8 minutes. Thats 5 gallons per second/33.5 pounds of fuel per second. This is with internal fuel load only. No external fuel tanks.
@@nexpro6118 More comparable to the f-14, the F-35C variant which launches/recovers on carriers, holds almost 20,100 lbs of internal fuel while having still being about 10,000 lbs lighter in empty weight as compared to the F-14. The 35-C's all internal fuel load is greater than the F-14s total internal/external fuel load of approx. 20,000 pounds. The F-14 of course was the worlds first 4th Generation aircraft designed in an analogue world are serving the US Navy in Sept 1974.. The F-35C, the US Navy's first Very Low Observable(VLO) 5th Gen carrier aircraft saw its first operational deployment in August 2021 approx. 46 years later. Investments made in engine technology made by the USA back in the 70's/80's are paying big dividends in todays aircraft. the F-135 engine makes 28,000 pounds thrust at military power and over 42,000 pounds thrust in full afterburner. The P&W TF-30 made 10,800lbs thrust at military(dy) power and 20,900 lbs thrust at max power(zone-5 afterburner). 2 Tomcat TF-30's(42,000pounds) are still out thrusted by a single F-35 PW-135(43,000 pounds) engine in a/b, and for military power, the F-14's 2 engines output 22,000 pounds thrust while a single PW-135 delivers 28,000 pounds of dry thrust. Pretty amazing! Enemies would turn and run away when the powerful AWG-9 radar was detected. Enemies of the F-35 do not turn and run because that would require the enemies knowing where the F-35 is located.
I've been thinking about filming airshows for awhile. I haven't found much info on what cameras, lenses, and mics people use. I know there's a lot of factors involved. Thanks for the reply.

This might be my favorite Tomcat Demo video on the internet

It isn’t a tomcat without its signature bassy humming noise. Can’t get enough of that sound.
Nate Schneller what’s the humming sound from?
EliteGoCrazyy- Not entirely sure where, but I’ve heard someone say it could be coming from the surface between the engines. Happens every time G’s are pulled.
Nate Schneller Oh, thank you
The greatest fighter ever made.
that sweet sound of the GE F110🎶🎶
GOD that engine is heavenly..........
Amazing aircraft with an awesome sound, imho, the f-14 is the best airshow aircraft i know, only saw it once but its presence was magical.

The rocket like crackle from this aircraft is something I will always miss. You could feel it in your chest when it flew over.

The audio in this video captures the Tomcat hum perfectly. I recommend listening with headphones. I miss those GE engines!
They decommissioned that plane waaaaay too early....
F-14 Tomcat. One and only. The best of the best. "Anytime Baby"
Over 9g superlative pull at 2:00
Man I miss those birds. Flight line was the best place to watch that. VF-41 Black Aces, 1987, 1991

Loved the first A+ demo's they flew when the upgrades started!
@0:57 = perfection
Thats some beautiful footage
My home for 12 years…
The smell of JP-5 left after the first year lol.
What did you do there?
how come this video doesnt have 2 million views yet?
that lens flare at 3:50 actually looks like your looking through the HUD and putting the pip on a target. may not have been intentional but its a nice accent.
I've been to the park many times !!!
Aside from the trees.. excellent video
Tomcats and targets!
JET NOISE...THE SOUND OF FREEDOM!

I run on burgers and I can't run for 8 minutes anymore (yeah, I'm old and broken now).
16,000 lbs of internal fuel, yup. Amazing bird.
@@hoghogwild F35 rolls into frame(carring 18k pounds of internal fuel with being a smaller fighter) lol

@@hoghogwild
Enemies know exactly where the F-35 is located. Other radar waves can detect it easily.
They simply can't lock on with the x band radar.
What type of microphone did you use? The audio is fantastic.
It is a microphone built in the video camera SONY VX-1000.

So it's not a GoPro !? LoL jk
It was Basically a GoPro in 2006 right ?
@@mrandrossguy9871 I'm not familiar with GoPro.
What a beast
Beautiful.
Witnessed F-14 crash in early 2000s (??) during a public demo at JRB NAS Willow Grove. Not a good day ... still remember every image. RIP
Great Video
Quality 👌❣️
Good pilot OMG 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱G👍
