Now, all parts on youtube are in the correct framerate :)
However, you can still download the video (includes Part 1 to 4) as a splitted zip archive. To unpack just use 7zip, winrar,...
This offers better quality as the version on youtube, because youtube reencodes the video after upload, so there is a quality loss.

    the pilots in those F14's must have gone insane from hearing "woop woop caution stall! woop woop caution stall! woop woop caution stall!" the whole time! :-D
  • @Spacegoat92
    Man, the wake turbulence alone from the Tomcats would have been enough to knock the Zeros out of the sky.
  • I'm sorry but the F-14 Tomcat has got to be the most beautiful carrier based fighter aircraft ever!!
  • A great Sci-Fi movie with no CGI and very minimal special effects. Also, pre-Top Gun Navy carrier-ops and aerial footage as well. It is high on my list of all-time favorites.
  • @fordgt402
    The only movie where 2 different generation fighters go head to head and the best part is no cgi involved
  • @MrBilipiton
    Coming next, F22 vs Sopwith Camel.. "EPIC BATTLE"
  • @kyleh3615
    "Alert 1, this is Eagle 1. You are cleared to fire, Splash the Zeros" Best line in the whole film
  • @AndrewKendall71
    Man, those Tomcats are barely staying in the sky they're having to go so slow to be in frame with the zeros. Love this scene.

    I worked as an extra in this movie. I was stationed at NAS Key West with RVAH-6 where it was filmed and they needed someone to tow an aircraft in the background of the opening scene. (Martin Sheen is talking to the helicopter crewman). I'm towing a RA-5C Vigilante in the background. We had just got off a Med cruise on the Nimitz. I knew some of the Sailors and Marines from the ship. It was cool to see them on the big screen. All you see of me is a blurry guy on tractor towing a Vigilante.

    The F-14 is one of my all time favorites and I had the privilege of seeing one perform at an airshow in the 90s. Seeing in the air gives you a true appreciation for its size and how loud it was compared to its contemporaries.
  • @FrancoM7747
    I love how the musical score changes when the F-14s are cleared to engage. Playtime is over.
  • @onblock7
    CAN you imagine a pilots eyes seeing this thing in the early 1940's when you are supposed to be the alpha dog out there? They would shit their pants literally! This movie kicks ass!
  • @Shadowfax-1980
    3:10 I love that shot of the F-14 pursuing the Zero through the clouds. It's like an actual cat sneaking up on its prey through the grass.
  • @Kodos13
    I have to laugh maniacally everytime the Vulcan opens up on the first Zero. That's about 150-200 rounds of 20mm; that would have pulverized that Zero or sawed it in half. And that AIM-9 Sidewinder probably cost more than that second Zero.
  • @ObamaTookMyCat
    4:14 if you dont already know this, that is actually a real world incident that almost happened, the pilot had to stay behind the zero, but stalled the aircraft, and almost went straight into the water. That part was NOT scripted.
  • @jrag1000
    i love it when the wings fold in. Like a shark baring its teeth.
  • @MrAshleyR
    I know the F-14 is outclassed in practically every area by the fighters of today, but I'll always have a soft spot for it - gorgeous bit of it.
  • @davebalaam
    Reminds me of an airshow I went to as a kid. They had an F14 doing a flyby along side a late-war P51 Mustang. The Mustang was giving it everything he could to keep up with the Tomcat, the throttle was wide open! The Tomcat had his gear down, flaps down, and nose pitched right up, just to prevent himself from stalling at the speed the Mustang was flying. Absolutely crazy!
