F-14 Fuel Gauge Beeps

[Frisco1522]

We all (should) know the scene in Top Gun where Cougar/Merlin and Maverick/Goose are returning home to the deck and Cougar has is panic attack. "Cougar we're running low on gas, we gotta get outa here." <--- That one.

 

There is a really ominous beeping and red lights coming from the jet and this is the fuel gauge display.

 

Does this really happen? Does it really beep at you when you run low on fuel? If it does, will our F-14 come with this?

 

I'm excited to know if I could be flying and realize I'm "on vapors" and have to get back to the carrier in time.

I don't believe the F-14 had an audible bingo alert. Just a BINGO caution, set per the bug, and L/R LOW FUEL cautions when the respective tank is less than 1000+/-200.

No slight intended to the OP but these sarcastic thoughts came immediately to mind:

 

What about a canopy ajar or fasten ejection seat belt ding?
