Thanks to JimBear for alerting us to www.flightjournal.com.

A pilot from the nuclear aircraft carrier U.S.S. Stennis breaks the rules by bringing his 36-ton F-14 Tomcat down to near-deck level for this impressive knife-edge fly-by. As the story goes, the pilot was grounded for 30 days but felt the thrill worth the punishment.

Tomcat to ground crew

In an attempt to bring back an old fad. The Tomcat demonstrates breakdancing, Navy style.
