Not one, not two, but THREE F-14s launched from the deck in 15 seconds.

2006 was the last year of operation for the Tomcat.

Afterburner takeoff!

Watch as it breaks out above the trees into a vertical climb. There's nothing quite like the TOMCAT!

[Grumman F-14 "Tomcat" @F14TomcatTurkey]

Good morning!

Climb out of bed and GET MOVING!

[Grumman F-14 "Tomcat" @F14TomcatTurkey]

Sometimes aerial refueling doesn’t go so well.

[Grumman F-14 "Tomcat" @F14TomcatTurkey]

[Grumman F-14 "Tomcat" @F14TomcatTurkey]

This is the true sound of freedom.

F-14 going SUPERSONIC!
