@MAR the F-14 was not only the most beautiful machine on God's green earth, it also happens to be the best naval Fighter/Interceptor/Attack of all time. Could dogfight with the pure air superiority fignters, was fast enough to get to adversary and brought one of the most powerful radars ever put into an American fighter to the fight and last but not least the Bombcat was more accurate at placing bombs than an F-15E ;).

The RIO in the video is Dean "Demo" Castillo. He flew with VF-103 "Jolly Rogers" prior to joining VF-101 as an instructor RIO. So, that explains the VF-103 helmet. VF-103 never flew demos, this was only handled by VF-101. So, the jet they are flying belongs to VF-101 and it's either an A or a B model Tomcat. Judging from other F-14 demos from 2002, they would have been flying an F-14B.

Incredible video and shows how amazing F-14 was in airshows. Once the wings fully swing back, it looks like an arrow. You barely see them. Also, this is a B model with the GE-110 engines. Notice how they shut off the afterburners in high G turns because those engines added so much energy that in high G turns, so much thrust can result in some airframe components getting stressed. Though, F-14 was built like a tank and could take very high G loads.

I was fortunate to be an ordnanceman with the Aardvarks at Miramar and there was a Friday friends and family day airshow 86 or 87 and a stud tomcat pilot flew a simple but awesome performance. he basically flew a big elongated U pattern, stalling and flipping over at each top point. Then he would come barreling down with a different pass each time; straight, inverted, barrel roll, knife edge, etc…. It was awesome.
