Awesome F-14 Video

[pennst8]

I'm not keen on the blink182 in the background but this video is great.

If someone posted this before, my bad... this was the first time I'd ever seen it.

great movie. If you turn down the volume on the player and play some top gun it makes it much better haha.

WTF is an MP4 file... not playing video (just audio) in winamp or anything else for that matter. I'm a computer 'tard.

I got it to play using the latest quicktime.

That was sweet.

 

[Blutonski816]

hmm...

pretty cool

I've got one done to "Cum on Feel the Noise" that was shot at the F-14's Last Demo.

I can't post it though... kind of a know-nothing when it comes to Filesharing and that kind of stuff...
PM me if anyone's interested...

Awesome movie, wish I could save it though.

not too bad, but it needs more landing video in from the planes perspective.

Funniest thing I noticed was the RIO giving the thumbs down signal to the flight deck chief after landing.

For those that don't know, this means the jet is "down" or broken. A "down" Tomcat, what a surprise.....

Maybe he was giving the thumbs down signal to the camera to say it was a crappy landing, possibly a joke. Who knows?

NOPE.

Standard procedure is when you land on the carrier, you give a thumbs up or down to your flight deck chief (senior squadron maintenance man) on deck to let him know what the jet's status is. At night, there are standard flashlight signals. Reason for this is so they know whether jet can be turned around for another event or sidelined for maintenance. This will affect where they park you on deck. Also the same lines, we pass Alpha Sierra (AS=Aircraft Status) codes to Strike (radar controller on ship) to pass to the ready room so they will know what may be broken. However, you can always have a problem after you push from marshall (start your approach), or the word does not get passed so you back it up with the hand signal on deck.

I stand by my statement. One broke Tomcat.

Meat knows, that's who. All you salivating kids out there: Pipe down.

I still want to know what's wrong with Blink 182. What are you guys, the oldest 20-year-olds in the world?
