Pretty amazing seeing videos of them still flying, Thanks Jack Yeah sorry about it, and I know the comments do bug everyone. That's what we all get from viewing Youtube I guess. I'll try to use a better video source next time. Thx anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jack, YouTube has great amount of vids and it's easy to post links to, I see nothing wrong with using it just because of a bunch of weenies always make childish comments on there ... Like I said, I just ignore them ... My advice, never scroll down below the video player portion of the page on YouTube ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Thanks for the link! From there, I found even more rare footages. Inflight refueling of Iranian SU-24s, F-4s, and their unique, twin-tailed F-5s: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yardbird78 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Great video. I am somewhat surprised that they still have F-14s that are flyable. They have good mechanics, but where are they getting parts? The answer to that question might be a can of worms that we don't want to open. Darwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sig Saur & Son Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) Speaking of the last of the Tomcats, they are now all gone from AMARG. Only 159437 remains on hold for the USS JFK floating museum. Dear Sir Thank you for your e-mail to the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (309 AMARG) regarding the status of the F-14 "Tomcat" fighters here at the Group facility. I regret having to inform you that there are currently no F-14s remaining here at 309 AMARG anymore with exception of AN1K0056 which is being held by the National Museum of Naval Aviation until the period for enquiries on contracting the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy, CV-67 for a museum institution has expired by January 22, 2010 since said unit has been requested to be loaned to the winning contractor. All Navy F-14’s were slated for demilitarization and ultimately disposal in late October 2009. Demilitarization involves removal of hazardous materials and military equipment by 309 AMARG (578th Storage and Disposal Squadron) personnel. When this process has been completed, the aircraft are removed to a Navy contractor where they are shredded into metal scrap. Scrap can then be smelted and recycled. As the respective contractors for the remaining Navy F-14’s companies Titan Works Grays, HVF LLC and L3 Communications have been awarded the contract for processing the final lot of remaining F-14-airframes which had been fulfilled by the 4th quarter of FY09. You may refer to the PIMA Air & Space Museum which is located close to the premises of the AMARG facility. An F-14 Tomcat has been placed as an exhibition piece there for visitors to enjoy. For any arrangements you may want to make for a visit to AMARG please visit www.pimaair.org or call (520) 574-0462.

blunce Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Speaking of the last of the Tomcats, they are now all gone from AMARG. Only 159437 remains on hold for the USS JFK floating museum. Speaking of the last of the Tomcats, does anyone ever remember seeing a video of them (hold onto something) tearing apart an F-14 start to finish. It was a sped up video that showed the machinery having its way with a Tomcat. I saw it once and never saved it. Haven't been able to find it again. If anyone has it or knows where to find it, LMK. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garthk Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 OH GOD! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Kicked the bucket!) You know, I remember being a teenager in the Summer of 1986 when every guy wanted to be Maverick, boring holes in the sky in an F-14, showing Iceman who was boss and bedding Kelly McGillis. Now? Tom Cruise is a freak. Iceman is a fata** who could be taken down by a cub scout. The Tomcats are gone. Kelly McGillis is middle-aged. And prefers chicks. Talk about a downer.

Just saw parts of that movie not too long ago, and realized that she was already middle-aged (looking) in that movie especially considering how young Cruise looks. Definately a case of Older woman/younger man. Also the Ninja he rides in that movie, sport bikes have come so far since then! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was on a cross country mission to Davis Monthan yesterday. There is a group of about 8 F-14s still there. One was a commanders bird. Don't know why this guy is saying there is only one left. It is simply not true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
