Tomcats forever!
« on: October 27, 2005, 12:25:00 AM »
If you've got an interest in modern jets, check out Patrick's Aviation Website.  Looks like there's lots of neat content there, especially the videos.  I only looked at two so far, but check out the "Fighter Fling 2004" video in the F-14 section.  The website's caption for this video reads:

Fighter Fling 2004, the final fighter fling video, is certainly the best. It features a history of the tomcat, quite a bit of anti-Hornet footage, some great flying, and a tribute to the F-14 and its pilots.

... anti-Hornet is right - those parts are hilarious!  Otherwise way cool footage in flight, historical clips, operational clips (including the Libyan Mig shootdown) and it's setup like a music video (rather a collection of music videos).  Ends with a tribute to what I assume are crew lost while flying the Tomcat over the years (I only recognized one name, the only female).  There were so many names - makes you appreciate just how hard it is to be a Navy pilot or aircrew.

Sorry about that, here is a link to the page where you can download the video:

http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos.php?action=view&id=35

It's quite large, about 471MB.  There are videos for other aircraft too, not just American jets but MiGs, Tornados, and the Eurofighter.  From the /videos.php page, select the aircraft from the dropdown under the "Search" heading.
