F-14 video

[Jim]

Trying to locate a video I may have seen mentioned in this newsgroup.
An F-14 was making a high speed flyby at sea, experienced either dual
flameout or other total failure. Crew ejected safely.

Might someone recall this and have the link?

That might be the same one. Video I saw was from the CV.

Based on this description it might be the F-14D of VF-31 (IIRC) off
Vinson; from the Discovery Channel-produced program called, again IIRC,
"Carrier at Sea."

They showed a high-speed pass, shot from the carrier, and the bird had
an explosion of some kind. Think both got out OK.

That certainly sounds like it. Now I wonder if that footage made it's
way onto the net.

Of the top I'd think not, as it was a commercial program -- unlike the
posting "home" videos.

Although I tend to agree I hope you're wrong. I've been amazed over the
years with what could be found on the net. Sometimes we get lucky.

Yes indeed, sometimes we do get lucky. I suppose I could take my video
