BlackLion213 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Another classic Tomcat video, featuring VF-213 F-14As in the mid-1990s. This was just before their transition to the F-14D and move from Miramar to Oceana. [ame] [/ame] It was one of the first Tomcat videos (that I remember) was shot using small mounted cameras. A unique perspective back in the late-90s/early 2000s. Anyway, I like this one, fun to watch and pretty immersive...plus it's VF-213, how could I resist? VF-213 is fortunate to be have been featured in several different movies: Hunt for Red October: And multiple scenes from Top Gun, here are two classic scenes where their tail insignia is pretty visible. NH210 launching from the waist cat: "Maverick" can't help but stare at NH211 ;) Have a good night. -Nick

ttaylor0024 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 My favorite Tomcat video. Good footage and pretty funny QCmEFrWDAUY
CheckGear Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Top Gun was filmed aboard Enterprise in 1985, prior to their 1986 world cruise. The Hunt for Red October was filmed in 1989, prior to their '89 - 1990 world cruise. I think I'm detecting a pattern here... :P
BlackLion213 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) My favorite Tomcat video. Good footage and pretty funny QCmEFrWDAUY That's still my favorite Tomcat video. It's awesome! I particularly like the "Hornet eye for the Fighter guy" segment and the transition back to channel "14". :D Best ever... I've posted Fighter Fling 2004 to the forum a few times myself. :music_whistling: Top Gun was filmed aboard Enterprise in 1985, prior to their 1986 world cruise. The Hunt for Red October was filmed in 1989, prior to their '89 - 1990 world cruise. I think I'm detecting a pattern here... :P Certainly it's a great reminder that the Enterprise had a lot of great adventures in the 1980s. Actually all 3 cruises after 1985 were really eventful: World Cruise in 1986 with undisclosed operations off Libya, WestPac in 1988 with Combat Ops in the Strait of Hormuz, another World Cruise in 1989-90. Quite a lot of action for just a few years....especially during the precise timeframe of the LNS F-14A...:music_whistling: Enterprise certainly was my favorite carrier and would make an awesome addition to DCS carrier ops. It was such a distinctive and storied ship - no wonder all the movies wanted to film on her while she launched F-14s. :D -Nick Edited January 28, 2016 by BlackLion213

They'd have been rolling off the deck of the USS Enterprise to deliver strikes against Iraq during Operation Desert Strike! If you want to get hypothetical, they'd have been flying missions against Iran as retaliation for the Khobar Towers bombing.
