Also some of the best F14 flight porn ever
Fast forward to 2:00 for the good stuff and 3:22 to watch an F14 almost go for a swim.

This must’ve been a saying because they had a bunch of aTm grads flying those planes around.

Just watching it for the first time. They're talking about how the engines work and how they slow down the air entering the engines to kept it below the speed of sound. That's as far as I've made it so far. I'm guessing none of those things will be mentioned.
Speaking of the speed of sound, I was once hit by the sonic boom from an F-14 Tomcat breaking the sound barrier during an airshow at sea. Low and fast, hangar deck level, we're out on the smoking sponson, probably a couple dozen people out there. Barely heard it coming, it popped the sound barrier right as it passed the smoke pit. The wave hit us with the boom, loud as hell, blasting shirts open, taking hats off, pushed everybody back, the full effect. Pretty good adrenaline rush.
