Product Description
The Recordist presents the awesome sound of a F-14 Tomcat fighter aircraft recorded at various airshows during the 90s. Carefully re-mastered from the original 48k source at 24bit 48k. Exterior take-off, pass bys and general supersonic afterburner goodness.
The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an American supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, twin-tail, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. It was the first such U.S. jet fighter with twin tails. The Tomcat was developed for the United States Navy’s Naval Fighter Experimental program after the collapse of the F-111B project. The F-14 was the first of the American Teen Series fighters, which were designed incorporating air combat experience against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War.
The F-14 first flew on 21 December 1970 and made its first deployment in 1974 with the U.S. Navy aboard USS Enterprise, replacing the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. The F-14 served as the U.S. Navy’s primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor, and tactical aerial reconnaissance platform into the 2000s. The Tomcat was retired from the U.S. Navy’s active fleet on 22 September 2006.
In August 2009, the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group “Boneyard” stated that the last aircraft were taken to HVF West, Tucson, Arizona for shredding. At that time only 11 F-14s remained in desert storage.
