Dutch Air Force display team F-14 Tomcat flying over an African coast.

This is probably the 3rd one in the series featuring a Northrop Grumman F-14 Tomcat in Royal Netherlands Airforce Display team color scheme. Thanks to tips from Peter Van Stigt and Distant Star , i guess i did a better job than before.

The Royal Netherlands Airforce F-14 Tomcat Demo Jet

An Royal Netherlands Airforce F-14 Tomcat Demo Jet makes a high speed pass over Dallas .

• Followed Distant Star's Advice : ‎Mil Psd, this is sick! but you need to do few things. use radial blue set at zoom/bes/9 pxl from left to right and set the center of the radial blur at the left center of the frame near the nose of the tomcat. and erase 90% of this blurred tomcat over the back of the main tomcat and make sure its layer is under the main tomcat and not over it.

F-14 Tomcat asThe Royal Netherlands Air Force Demo Team

.


 Tried my hand with a Northrop Grumman F-14 Tomcat as  RNLAF demo team solo demonstrator . Added motion blur to aircraft and the background . Tried to give it a little bit of perspective. But i still have a lot of ground to cover. I am not quite happy with the end result here. Obviously i cant dream to compete with the top tier artists in the field but i still need to improve   :]


“One Team One Mission” is the motto of the Royal Netherlands Air Force. This motto applies to the Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16 Demo Team as well.
The team around the display pilot exists of two coaches who are also F-16 pilots, six highly skilled technical specialists and two advisors.
This team offers every conceivable support to the air display pilot throughout the entire demo season, which comprises about 30 shows in all. The team also receives full further support from their home base Leeuwarden AB and its staff wherever necessary. What sets the Dutch team apart from some other display teams is that besides performing aerobatic displays, all members are also current operational personnel of the Air Force.
They perform daily operational tasks and are deployed to operational theatres even during the demo season. This enables the team to be truly current operational representatives of the Royal Netherlands Air Force.

F-14 Tomcat : Irans new Mini-AEW aircraft

IRIAF has a new addition to its inventory , Tomcat the Mini- AWACS, well not AWACS exactly but AEW aircraft. It will be able to scan an area of 100 nautical miles and with a secure data link , transmit information to about 10 air craft in formation.



In the summer of 1984, it is estimated that Iran could fly only 15-20 Tomcats, maintaining them largely by cannibalization. Very often, Tomcat served in a mini-AWACS role by virtue of their powerful radars and was deliberately not risked in combat.
