If you've got an interest in modern jets, check out Patrick's Aviation Website (http://www.patricksaviation.com). 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.

That sight is too cluttered for me. Couldnt find it.

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.
