The F-14 Fighter Interceptor officially ended it's tour of service with the United States Navy on December 26, 2006. Movie fans will remember the F-14 from the 1980's movie Top Gun.

The F-14 joined the   more...Navy on December 21th, 1970 and served honorably for 36 years. High maintanence and operation costs were stated as the primary reason. The F-18 will probably take over the F-14 mission.

Good News, the F-14 will still be around for a while. Several allied country's still want our Fighter Jet. The F-14 is still flying high, somewhere!

Some of us are attracted to the machinery and technology of men and their wars. In this case the F14, one of the most advanced fighter planes of the 20th Century was retired in September, 2006. A Youtube   more...viewer asked that I produce a tribute to this aircraft that had advance so far from the journey's into first manned flight earlier in the century. Hope you enjoy this, many others have. Here is a message received from Jim Wilkins on April 13th, 2007:
Tom,
Nice tribute to a kick-butt aircraft. I was fortunate enough to be working for Grumman Aerospace during the F-14's production run, and in fact met my best friend (for over 30 years now) while at Grumman's plant 58. Admiral Halsey made a more... statement in WW2 that still holds true: "The name Grumman on a plane is like the name Sterling on Silver". Thank you for an entertaining vistory of this remarkable aircraft.
Peace,
Jim

Thank you for this Jim. Teejay  less

Nice selection of jets from the F86 via the Buckeye and F14 to the two JASF contenders, lovely head on shot of the Tomcat at the end.

Some clips from Saturday's Air show in VA. First the Shockwave Truck does some runs up & down the field, followed by a beautiful stunt done by the world famous "Blue Angels"

My aunt served on the USS Harry S Truman, so, I was able to take a cruise on it with her and her fellow sailors family members. During this trip, we all witnessed a private airshow, simply awesome.   more...Music is False Pretense by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.  less
