A Grumman F-14A Tomcat (BuNo 160391) of fighter squadron VF-84 Jolly Rogers, Carrier Air Wing Eight (CVW-8). VF-84 flew the F-14A from 1976 until the squadron was disestablished on 01 Oct 1995. From December 1977 to July 1987 VF-84 was assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN-68). The paint scheme displayed by the F-14A was typical of the 1970s. VF-84 also became famous when its Tomcats appeared in the movie The Final Countdown (released 1980). It had been filmed on the Nimitz with CVW-8 during the first half of 1979 in the Caribbean.

En. text: 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 (VFX) 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 (CVN-65), 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 Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) pod system were added in the 1990s and the Tomcat began performing precision ground-attack missions.
In the 1980s, F-14s were used as land-based interceptors by the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force during the Iran–Iraq War, where they saw combat against Iraqi warplanes. Iranian F-14s reportedly shot down at least 160 Iraqi aircraft during the war, while only 12 to 16 Tomcats were lost; at least half of these losses were due to accidents.
En. text: The Tomcat was retired by U.S. Navy on 22 September 2006, having been supplanted by the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. The F-14 remains in service with Iran's air force, having been exported to Iran in 1976. In November 2015, reports emerged of Iranian F-14s flying escort for Russian Tupolev Tu-95, Tu-160, and Tu-22M bombers on air strikes in Syria.  ...  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_F-14_Tomcat

Hu. text: Az F–14 Tomcat negyedik generációs, kéthajtóműves, szuperszonikus, változtatható szárnynyilazású vadászrepülőgép, melyet a Grumman fejlesztett ki az Amerikai Egyesült Államokban, az Amerikai Haditengerészet repülőgép-hordozóinak légvédelmére, az F–4 Phantom II és az F–8 Crusader repülőgépek leváltására. Katapulttal indítható, fékhoroggal felszerelték, levegőben utántölthető. A tömeges bombázó- és robotrepülőgép-támadások ellen kifejlesztett gép a világon először rendelkezett szimultán célleküzdési képességekkel, az általa alkalmazott AIM–54 Phoenix rakéta volt a világ első aktív lokátoros önirányítású rakétája, melynek segítségével egyszerre hat légi célt tudott támadni.
Csak Iránba exportálták, ezek a repülőgépek ma is szolgálatban állnak. Az 1980-as években felderítő feladatok ellátására is képessé tették, az 1990-es évektől irányított bombák segítségével földi célokat is támadhatott. Az Amerikai Haditengerészetnél 2006 szeptemberéig állt szolgálatban, utódja az F/A–18E Super Hornet. Az F–14 több filmben (Top Gun, Végső visszaszámlálás) kapott főszerepet, nem utolsósorban emiatt nagyon népszerű, szinte kultikus repülőgépnek számít.  ...  https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%E2%80%9314_Tomcat

En. text: The Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, later Grumman Aerospace Corporation, was a leading 20th century U.S. producer of military and civilian aircraft. Founded on December 6, 1929, by Leroy Grumman and partners, it merged in 1994 with Northrop Corporation to form Northrop Grumman.  ...  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman

Hu. text: A Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, későbbi nevén Grumman Aerospace Corporation egy amerikai repülőgépgyártó és űripari vállalat, amelyet alapítója, Leroy Grumman 1929. december 6.án hozott létre. A cég az USA meghatározó repülőgépgyártója lett, elsősorban haditengerészeti repülőgépek, de civil gépek nagy számú előállításával.
A vállalat fénykora a II. világháború idején jelentkező óriási konjunktúra volt, számos legendás harci gépet köszönhetett az amerikai hadsereg a Grummannak, így például az F4F Wildcat, vagy F6F Hellcat típusokat. A hidegháború idején a sugárhajtású haditengerészeti gépekre koncentrálta erőforrásait a cég, megalkotva a kor legendás vadászgépét, az F–14 Tomcat-et, az A–6 Intruder vadászbombázót, vagy a repülőgépanyahajók AWACS felderítőjének számító E–2 Hawkeye felderítőgépet.
A hidegháború végeztével drasztikusan lecsökkent harci gépek iránti igény a cég hanyatlását okozta, így 1994-ben a Northrop felvásárolta és megalakult a cég jogutódja, a Northrop Grumman.  ...

General Design and Systems Overview:
Engines and Throttle Controls:
The two F110-GE-400 afterburning turbo-fans powering the F-14B are controlled by the AFTC (Augmenter Fan Temperature Control unit). The AFTC is akin to an early version of a FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) used on newer turbine engines.

The AFTC controls both the engine itself as well as the variable exhaust nozzles controlling the engine exhaust gases. Additionally, the AICS (Air Inlet Control System) helps by controlling the engine airflow for an even subsonic airflow to the engine inlets. This is done through the variable geometry intakes, more precisely the variable ramps in the intakes.

The throttles in the F-14 have detents preventing unintentional engine start and shutdown and unintentional selection of afterburner. In addition the throttles also controls several different systems depending on throttle position as shown in the diagram above. The most critical of these being the fuel cutoff and ignition systems in the respective engines.  ...  https://www.heatblur.se/F-14Manual/general.html

En. text: The Final Countdown is a 1980 alternate history science fiction film about a modern aircraft carrier that travels through time to the day before the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Produced by Peter Vincent Douglas with director, producer, actor and Troma Entertainment founder Lloyd Kaufman and directed by Don Taylor the film contains an ensemble cast with Kirk Douglas as leader, Martin Sheen as supporting and James Farentino, Katharine Ross and Charles Durning in roles of secondary importance. This was the final film by the director Don Taylor. Kaufman himself served also as an associate producer and also actor.
Produced with the full cooperation of the United States Navy, set and filmed on board the actual USS Nimitz supercarrier, The Final Countdown was a moderate success at the box office.  ...  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Final_Countdown_(film)

Hu. text: A Végső visszaszámlálás (eredeti cím: The Final Countdown) 1980-ban bemutatott akció sci-fi film.
Egy modern repülőgép-hordozó, amely akaratán kívül időutazásban vesz részt és az 1941-es Pearl Harbor-i csata előtti napba kerül vissza. Legénységének el kell döntenie, beleszól-e a második világháborút alapvetően befolyásoló japán rajtaütésbe. A producer Peter Vincent Douglas, rendezője Don Taylor, a filmben több filmsztár is feltűnik: Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, James Farentino, Katharine Ross és Charles Durning.
A produkció az Amerikai Haditengerészet teljes beleegyezésével és támogatásával készült, többségében az alig öt éve szolgálatban álló USS Nimitz repülőgép-hordozó fedélzetén, amely az akkori idők legmodernebb és legütőképesebb hadihajójának számított. A Végső visszaszámlálás bemutatása idején mérsékelt sikereket ért el a mozikban, azonban az azt követő években, évtizedben kultikus státusszá emelkedett a sci-fi és katonai repülésért rajongók körében. A film alapötletét az 1965-ben bemutatott Felettünk az ég című francia sci-fi adta.  ... 

Commander Owens explains to the japanese Zero pilot what is about to happen on December 7th, 1941 - "The Final Countdown" (1980).
The Japanese pilot would have had no idea what Climb Mount Niitaka - Niitaka-yama Nobore meant as the crew would not have had access to secret communications let alone specific war codes. James Farentino should have told who the commanders were (Yamamoto and Nagumo), who planned it (Minoru Genda), and who would lead it (Mitsuo Fuchida). The pilot would have known that and realized 'the jig was up.'  ret. Airfield Fire Fighter cmdr. LHSA Mr. Antal Kálmán's advice from Indonesia, Lombok-island 2018.

"A Végső visszaszámlálás - The Final Countdown" film 1980.

„(...) Ma 1941. december 7-e van. Biztos vagyok benne, hogy mindannyian tisztában vagyunk a mai nap jelentőségével és a történelemben elfoglalt helyével. Olyan csatára készülünk, ami már azelőtt elveszett, mielőtt közülünk sokan megszülettek. Ezúttal, Isten segítségével, más lesz az eredmény. Sok szerencsét!” - "(...) Today is December 7, 1941. I am sure we are all aware of the significance of today and its place in history. We're preparing for a battle that was lost before many of us were born. This time, with God's help, the result will be different. Good luck!"

For decades, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat has been a favorite among scale modelers, aviation enthusiasts, and aviators.  Over the years, there have been – by my count – no less than 385 different issues of F-14 kits from 1:144 to 1:32 scale.  The quality and accuracy of these kits varied, from early Airfix and Matchbox products to classic kits by Testors, Monogram, and Revell.  Generally, the best F-14 in 1:48 scale is often thought to be the Hasegawa family of Tomcats that first hit the market in 1988.  While they’re very good, the Hasegawa F-14s are also infamous for various construction glitches and ill-fitting parts.  Hobby Boss launched a more modern tooled and designed F-14 family in 2010.  Despite their promise, Hobby Boss Tomcats were plagued by rather misshapen intakes and notably inaccurate surface details.  In 2016, Tamiya finally stepped into the ring with a new-tool F-14 in 1:48 scale, looking to be a contender for the title of “Best 1:48 scale Tomcat.”  In this review, we’ll take a very careful look at this hotly anticipated kit.

Természetesen nem ezen múlik, hogy valaki politikusként milyen eredményes vagy éppen eredménytelen munkát végez, de a katonai szolgálat, különösen háborús körülmények között olyan tapasztalatokkal gazdagítja az emberek személyiségét, aminek legfőbb vezetőként is hasznát veheti.
A cikkem aktualitását az adja, hogy a napokban elhunyt és hajdan az elnökjelöltségig jutó John McCain republikánus szenátornak,  minden eddigi elnöknél jelentősebb repülős múltja volt.  ...

USS Midway (CVB/CVA/CV-41) was an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy, the lead ship of her class. Commissioned a week after the end of World War II, Midway was the largest ship in the world until 1955, as well as the first U.S. aircraft carrier too big to transitthe Panama Canal. A revolutionary hull design, based on the planned Montana-classbattleship, gave her enhanced protection compared to previous carriers.[verification needed] She operated for 47 years, during which time she saw action in the Vietnam War and served as the Persian Gulf flagship in 1991's Operation Desert Storm. Decommissioned in 1992, she is now a museum ship at the USS Midway Museum, in San Diego, California, and the only remaining U.S. aircraft carrier commissioned right after World War II ended that was not an Essex-class aircraft carrier.  ...

The distinctive start and stop lever on the left of the case is the renowned GRAHAM Chronofighter signature which enables to activate the chronograph functions. The system recalls early stopwatches used by World War 2 flying officers which were just large pocket watches strapped over bomber jackets. Instinctive and precise, it is a fail-safe system which does not distract the wearer because the lever on the left of the case is effortlessly reached with the right hand. The thumb, the fastest of all fingers, starts and stops the chronograph. The result is precise timing.

En. text: Top Gun is a 1986 American romantic military action drama film directed by Tony Scott, and produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, in association with Paramount Pictures. The screenplay was written by Jim Cash and Jack Epps, Jr., and was inspired by an article titled "Top Guns" published in California magazine three years earlier. The film stars Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards, and Tom Skerritt. Cruise plays Lieutenant Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a young Naval aviator aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise. He and his Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) Nick "Goose" Bradshaw (Edwards) are given the chance to train at the Navy's Fighter Weapons School at the former Naval Air Station (NAS) Miramar in San Diego.
Top Gun was released on May 16, 1986. Upon its release, the film received generally mixed reviews from film critics but many particularly praised the action sequences, the effects, the aerial stunts, and the acting performances with Cruise and McGillis receiving the most praise. Four weeks after release, the number of theaters showing it increased by 45%. Despite its initial mixed critical reaction, the film was a huge commercial hit grossing $356 million against a production budget of only $15 million. The film maintained its popularity over the years and earned an IMAX 3D re-release in 2013. Additionally, the film won an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Take My Breath Away" performed by Berlin.
In 2015, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". A sequel, titled Top Gun: Maverick, is currently in development.  ...  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gun

En. text: In Ancient Greek folklore, a phoenix (/ˈfiːnɪks/; Ancient Greek: φοῖνιξ, phoînix) is a long-lived bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. Some legends say it dies in a show of flames and combustion, others that it simply dies and decomposes before being born again. Most accounts say that it lived for 500 years before rebirth. Herodotus, Lucan, Pliny the Elder, Pope Clement I, Lactantius, Ovid, and Isidore of Seville are among those who have contributed to the retelling and transmission of the phoenix motif. The phoenix symbolized renewal in general, as well as entities and concepts such as the Sun, time, the Roman Empire, Christ, Mary, and virginity.  ...  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology)
