Hey, that's right in the time when I worked the engine room on GW. During work-ups in late 1993, we had an idiot LCDR who was standing EOOW. During flight ops, we had a very minor reactor plant casualty, the EOOW ordered the wrong corrective actions, and it caused both reactors to shut down. We went dead-in-the-water, planes already airborne had to divert to Oceana, and we had a 4-star admiral aboard who was PISSED. Our ship got a standing order to not let him stand EOOW anymore and his career was in the doghouse after that. He was dreaming of being a ship captain and he wound up getting out without even making CDR. I think it's funny (funny what happened to him, the interruption of ops was not funny), that guy was an asshole.

The flight path to the beacon led right over the house, you could hear the afterburners light 15 miles away as they rotated in pairs from Eglin, one pair after the other for 25 minutes flew over the house blacked-out until slightly north of the interstate where they caught the omni, banged the burners and were on their way to NY. Thought it was over then you could hear the distinct sound of the AC-130 gunships from Hurlburt SOC heading the same way, gotta tell you it's a somber moment that will tear your eyes knowing these Fighter Wings and support were heading to war.

Those guys on the deck do incredible work.

Me: I've gotta be up soon, its 3am! KZread: Wanna see 3 fighter jets from 14 years ago? Me: Abso-freakin-lutely!

It's been 13 years and here we are, watching three fighter jets taking off from an aircraft carrier for no reason.

Gary Grandy that's one of the two main reasons they were retired. The sheer amount of deck space needed was pushing the size of the carriers into an untenable size and cost. Then there was the whole matter of increasing cost of maintenance per flight hour. Upgrading the platform in a similar way that the F-15 received would have been prohibitive. They were better off starting with a clean sheet of paper. They were damned pretty birds though. Awesome.

@B 132 The matter of reduced RCS has been a bit of a sacred cow in a way. Designers seemed to need to pay homage to the idea rather than actually execute it in a large way. The goalposts were stretched a bit as I understand for what began as the JSF project which politically morphed into the current F-35. RCS was addressed mainly in the forward track of the airframe and that was supposedly enough to deliver the first-shoot-first-kill advantage. Fads in the MIC for airframe design concepts are very expensive when they carry over too far into areas where they may not be best suited. The old Soviet bureaus were apparently tasked to explore specific concepts for small batches of aircraft with no loss of political cred in their system it seems. Of course in a competitive profit based environment, everyone wants to crank out 3000+ units of any airframe they invest years and billion developing no matter how stupid the white elephant might become. I loved the F-35 as a proof of concept but I don't (didn't) want to pay to put it into full production in multiple roles and tasks at such a ridiculous extravagance by stretching goalposts and redefining mission parameters to suit that product and nothing else where needed. Another F-35A jet was just lost in the desert days ago during an aerial probe & drogue (daytime) refueling exercise. The KC-130 tanker captain was able to get his bird down on one and a half remaining engines but there's no such option for the combat fighter - they had to punch out. Everybody is alive thankfully. Imagine how many times the Naval version will struggle with the refueling process in the pitch dark of night over rough seas while awaiting a landing slot on the lone carrier deck for a thousand miles. I curse the string of political and biased business decisions that got us there over the decades.

1:20 is when it actually takes off

17 years later all of a sudden but pretty dang cool.

The F-14 really is ome of the sickest planes ever made

13 years later... KZread reminds us the good old time before 2020 happened 🙏

Save yourself the time go to 1:17

Wow. I actually didn't realize they could launch multiple planes like that.

Got recommended 15 years later today. Amazing algorithm 😂

To know that this video was uploaded when I was nine and didn't know about youtube makes me feel nostalgic.

This was uploaded before i was even born

I just got back from seeing one of the F-14D's from that final cruise. #105.. They have it in Lakeland Florida at the Florida Air Museum. You can walk up and touch it, kick the tires.. all for free. Sadly it's beat to hell but still awesome.

Great video. I was onboard when this was taken. 👍⚓ Parachute Rigger (AW/SW) 2nd Class 🪂

These are magnificent machines. I got to see them up close aboard USS Kitty Hawk when she visited Sydney about 20 years ago. Back when the world made sense.

USN 73-77 Never deployed on a " bird farm." They stay out at sea for extended periods of time. However, they do ride the rough weather better than a destroyer. USS BLANDY DD-943 USS VULCAN AR-5 Fair seas and following winds Sailor!

I can watch planes (any kind from anywhere) take off and land all day long. It's therapeutic.

Served as a Nuke aboard Enterprise from May 95 to Dec 98... Loved to climb to Vulture's Row and watch Tomcats takeoff and land!

That initial drop once they leave the deck must be thrilling-terrifying.

Watching these aviators take off and land. These gives me goosebumps every time. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This is beautiful, my Grandmother worked with the electronics on these in Grumman.
