The F-14 was a bad-ass flying and fighting machine, and if you disagree, prepare your anus.
I wish the US could still come up with shit like that. |

Those guys probably didnt even hit the water before the rhib was under them. Everyone's switch flipped into go mode instantly.

It looked like it started rolling and flipping just before it exploded, but the video quality is too low for me to be sure. |

There is another video out there with lots of high speed, low, super sonic passes and the like. I love that one. Speed is life one.
Off to find it! ETA - here it is.. Always liked this one.. Need to reup my membership here.. Can someone embed please. http://youtu.be/t40itl557oU |

Did it have anything to do with hot dogging at near sea level? I'm only asking because I don't know. In a way it did have something to do with the low altitude flying. You aren't very likely to suck a seagull into an engine while going Mach 1 at 30,000ft. But at 300ft and passing by a ship, sucking one into an engine is very likely. Which is what was determined to have happened in this case. With an engine disintegrating while doing Mach 1 at 300ft and the engine and airframe stating to come apart, "zoom and boom" is the only intelligent action for the crew. |

That AC wasn't supersonic.
A lot of mouth breathers see the compression condensation and think "ZOMG THATS THE SOUND BARRIER I SEE IT!" Like the "sound barrier" appears when you go through it. 
Those have more to do with aerodynamics and meteorology than speed. |

You've never seen an airshow until you've seen one out at sea. They had to do something special, we watched flight ops 12 hrs a day most days. The firepower demonstrations from the support ships was equally as badass.

I take offense at that. My department on the Iwo was responsible for the lifeboat. From the time "man overboard" was called over the 1MC we had the RHIB in the water in less than four minutes. |
