A tribute to Grumman. It doesnt even look outdated. A bygone of our era.

Beautiful video! She was a queen! No girl has ever had as much grace, style and versatility.

BEST Final Countdown cut I’ve seen. High quality imagery w/o the distraction of the dialogue from the movie.

[destroyerR]

Real footage like this blows away CGI.

[KLRGTKR]

The most beautiful and the baddest fighter ever made. Period.

"You love a lot of things if you live around them, but there isn’t any woman, and there isn’t any horse, nor any before nor any after, that is as lovely as a great airplane, and men who love them are faithful to them even though they leave them for others. A man has only one virginity to lose in fighters, and if it is a lovely plane he loses it to, there his heart will ever be". — Ernest Hemingway August 1944.

One of the best video compilations of naval aviation ever created, that is before Top Gun Maverick anyway.

The whole airwing in pre-low-viz days. KA-6D's, A-7's, and Turkeys in shiny paint. They had personality then. Now it's one grey Hornet after another.


I had a neighbor whose brother was a Tomcat pilot back in the '80's. He said his brother said they bent the airplane when the pilot stalled the plane during the dogfight scene.

Love F-14 Tomcat from China. This fighter is the most beautiful plane that has ever been made in human history.
