Q.E.P.D.

Murió el cineasta Tony Scott

Fue el director del exitoso film Top Gun, protagonizada por Tom Cruise; habría saltado desde un puente en Los Angeles

Interesante esquema

 

[Argos]

Algun dato, Juanma? Es un agresor?

 

[Juanma]

Sin marcas me la juego que es pintura lavable.
Tiene pod para ejercicios asi que todo apunta a que hacia de uno de los malos

Interesante documental de los F-14 de la IRIAF.
Todavía no lo vi entero, pero esta bastante bueno hasta donde pude ver.

Saludos!!

Lo veremos el finde :)

Hubo un tiempo donde hasta el F-14A era mejor para atacar blancos iraquies que el F-15E
Y ni hablar del F-18A/B/C/D.
Como era eso posible si los A ni siquiera podian usar JDAM?
2 cosas
1) El mejor pod de todos
2) Una pantallota enorme para el RIO (WSO en el resto de los aviones)

Ni hablar de los B y D con capacidad de JDAM
y los D a los que se les intrego la antena Rover

No es mi opinion (solamente).....

On Sept. 22, 2006 after 36 years of service, the last F-14 Tomcat was retired by its main operator, the US Navy, at NAS Oceana. Although six years have passed since then, there are many unknown facts to be told or simply to be remembered about the last Grumman’s (now Northrop-Grumman) fighter.
One of these often untold stories dates back to Apr. 2003 when, in the midst of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), the Tomcats of the VF-154 Black Knights were embarked aboard the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63).
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) ordered to VF-154 to detach five of its F-14A (BuNos 158620, 161296, 161288, 161292 and 158624) and five of its crews to Al Udeid air base, in Qatar. This was the first time in history that US Navy aircraft were tasked to fight a war from both ashore and at sea at the same time.
The five Black Knights’ Tomcats were dedicated to provide Forward Air Controller (Airborne) or FAC(A) and Strike Coordination and Reconnaissance (SCAR) for Coalition fast jets (such as USAF F-16CGs and F-16CJs, RAAF F/A-18As and RAF Tornado GR-4s) deployed to Al Udeid.
The VF-154 Tomcats crews also had to train USAF F-15E crews to conduct FAC(A) and SCAR missions.
During this shore-based period a VF-154 F-14A (BuNo 158620 callsign “Nite 104”) crashed because he suffered a single engine and fuel transfer system failure forcing the crew to eject.
However during this special period the five Black Knights’ crews were able to accomplish more than 300 combat hours dropping more than 50,000 lbs of ordnance.
These results were possible even if the Tomcat had some disadvantages when compared directly to some of the attack planes mentioned above: for example, the Strike Eagle has a maximum payload far superior than the one of the Tomcat and the F-14A could only employ Laser Guided Bombs (LGB) and it was not able to use Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) due to a lack of a digital databus (the Bs and Ds-models Tomcat could use JDAMs).
Still, the F-14 had also some advantages: the AN/AAQ-25 LANTIRN (Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting, Infrared, for Night) pod used by Tomcat crews was more capable than the USAF’s AN/AAQ-14 and also than the first AN/AAQ-28s Litening II. In fact the AN/AAQ-25 provided the Tomcat with the capability to point the pod to chosen waypoints without the employment of radar, an ability that the F-15E didn’t have. The F-14s were also equipped with a Programmable Tactical Information Display System (PTIDS) and 20 cm X 20cm screen that provided the Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) with a better display than the Weapons System Officer (WSO) in the F-15E.
All these features made the F-14 a really impressive attack platform- as a Tomcat driver once explained: “With the Strike Eagle you can put the bomb on the building. With the Tomcat you’ re putting the bomb into the third window from the left, from miles away”.

No es exactamente del Tomcat, pero tiene mucho que ver con el gran Gato.. A-3D lanzando el primer AIM-54 Phoenix..

Y si alguien sabe qué dice en el epígrafe, agradecido.. R-27 colgando de un Gato iraní..

Alguien tiene mas fotos de este avion con este esquema?
No tengo mas datos que los que estan aca

Curioseando en la web me conseguí con esta interesante imagen, de un Grumman F-14A Tomcat de Irán armado con misiles de guia radar rusos R-27, los técnicos e ingenieros iranies deben haber tenido grandes dolores de cabeza si lograron compatibilizar estas plataformas tan dispares, puede ser que solo sea un montaje sin mas allá, aunque ya anteriormente habíamos visto misiles SAM Improved Hawk montados en F-14A. Tomado del foro Irani:
http://www.irandefence.net/showthread.php?t=59714&page=99

Vean el Phanthom con armamento de diverso origen, ejemplo misiles anti-buque chinos

Éxitos

Otro Aporte al el Club del Tomcat...
Les comparto unas nuevas imágenes de F-14 3d, hechas por un artista digital de Indonesia cuyo seudónimo es Siregar3d (Der Peiper) a través de su galería de "dA" espero que les gusten...

¿Como es renderizado desde fotos?

No se que se refiere, pero si hacen click en el link de su firma, van poder comprobar que el tipo modela todas y cada una de las partes desde cero en 3d y todo en poligonos (no usa Bump) abajo les pongo el Tomcat al 70% del modelado.
