There are not so many videos showing the U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcat on the range, perfoming some insane, treetop flybys before being cleared for a gun strafing pass.
The much interesting and rare footage was shot in 1993 at Fort Chaffee, in Arkansas.

That would be by my first squadron VF-202 “Superheats” and I know those two Tomcats in the video well. Buno 162710 and 162711 the last two F-14 “A” models built for the Navy. They were delivered straight to us in the hi visibility finish.
Not F-14B?
No, 710 and 711 were the last A-model’s delivered to the Navy. 162708 and 162709 were delivered to sister squadron VF-201. Production began shortly after that of the then called A+ (later called F-14B).
Yes. thanks. That’s good. A+ was basically the B model.
Great vid.
Reminds me of a time many years ago now that my dad and I were hiking a rugged beach and watched a flight of 4 of these maneuvering against each other over the ocean. Never got anywhere near that low but it was still cool to see them fly. Best naval aircraft ever, hands down.
Best airplane this country ever produced. Nothing else like it.
