I give you 60 seconds, Admiral.

Navy Unveils Its Tomcat Fighter, a $10.2-Million Carrier Plane

By EVERETT R. HOLLESSpecial to The New York Times

October 15, 1972, Sunday

Page 14, 732 words

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 14 -- The Navy substitute for the trouble-plagued F-111 war plane, the F-14 Tomcat fighter, was unveiled here today at the commissioning of the first two squadrons to which the new twin-jet aircraft will be assigned.










From 2/12/1973 ( Operation Homecoming begins and I was the lead C-141A pilot transporting home the American POWs ) to 9/17/1974 ( United States Navy F-14 Tomcat fighter jet aircraft enters active service in United States Navy fleet and I am first United States Navy F-14 Tomcat Commander Air Group and I am original primary Grumman F-14 Tomcat test pilot ) is: 582 days

From 7/16/1963 ( my wife ) to 2/17/1965 ( I am active duty United States Navy SEAL ) is: 582 days



From 5/14/1973 ( as the first civilian and privately funded astronaut and the first explorer of planet beyond Earth while maintaining status on planet Earth as US Naval Reserves military astronaut I planned and scheduled the launch of Skylab space station into Earth orbit - the first United States space station ) To 9/17/1974 ( United States Navy F-14 Tomcat fighter jet aircraft enters active duty and I was original primary Grumman F-14 Tomcat test pilot ) is 491 days

From 9/17/1974 ( United States Navy F-14 Tomcat fighter jet aircraft enters active service in United States Navy fleet and I am first United States Navy F-14 Tomcat Commander Air Group and I am original primary Grumman F-14 Tomcat test pilot ) To 1/21/1976 ( my first landing on planet Mars and my documented and lawful exclusive claim to the territory of planet Mars ) is 491 days

In U.S. Navy service

The 1970s

Operation Frequent Wind

The F-14 made its first combat debut flying cover during Operation Frequent Wind in April 1975. The fighter squadrons VF-1 and VF-2 were deployed on board USS Enterprise (CVN-65) with Carrier Air Wing 14. The cruise began on September 17, 1974 and ended May 20, 1975. The two squadrons flew combat air patrols over South Vietnam during the operation but did not encounter any North Vietnamese MiGs, though they were fired upon by enemy anti-aircraft guns.

Soviet intercepts and American hostages in Iran

During the rest of the 1970’s the F-14 did not see any combat, F-14s primarily intercepted Soviet aircraft coming too close to the carrier groups, and VF-142 was the first Atlantic Fleet F-14 squadron to intercept a Soviet Tu-95 Bear bomber on April 23, 1976. In 1979, VF-111 and VF-51 participated in efforts to free the American hostages in Iran. VF-41 and VF-84 were on station during the crisis in 1980 as well.

Enterprise

Boldness, energy, and invention in practical affairs.

(CVA(N)-65: displacement 85,600 tons (full load); length 1101'; beam 133'; extreme width 252'; draft 35'; speed 30+ knots; complement 4,600; class Enterprise)

History: 1971-1975


Enterprise sailed for workups and refresher training, 4–28 March 1974, the first portion of which was spent in the workups, with the weekends of 9–10, 16–17 and 23–24 March, being spent in San Diego. During this period the ship was also used by a number of different squadrons for carrier qualifications, as well as a test platform for both F-14As and S-3As. During that time, Lieutenant Commander Grover Giles, pilot, and Lieutenant Commander Roger McFillen, RIO, VF-1, made the maiden F-14A Tomcat landing on board Enterprise on 14 March 1974. Later that day, Giles and McFillen were joined by a pair of Tomcats from the Naval Air Test Center (NATC) Patuxent River, Maryland.

Enterprise spent the remainder of March through mid–April 1974 conducting a “Readiness Improvement Training Period,” followed by further carrier qualifications for both CVW-14 and other unattached squadrons.


Enterprise deployed to the western Pacific on 17 September 1974. Her transit was “literally quiet,” in that the ship made most of it under electronic emissions control (EmCon) restrictions, enabling her to avoid many Soviet forces attempting to intercept and track her.

SEATTLE (F-U Wire) - Microsoft Corporation announces plans to expand its historic outpost of insurrection in Bellevue, Washington. The City Of Bellevue welcomes the insurgency despite that Microsoft Corporation is actively working to overthrow the constitutional form of government in America.

City of Bellevue Mayor Grant Degginger admits that hundreds more Americans will be killed by Microsoft Corporation-sponsored terrorism, but “Hey, Microsoft is giving me a free Lexus to look the other way. Who can argue with that? The covert federal agent we tried to murder only wanted to give us a prison term for providing material support to terrorists.”

When informed that over 99% of the employees of Microsoft Corporation were going to be charged - at a minimum - with providing material support to terrorists, they exclaimed a collective “Wow.”

In a way, you could think of the Columbia as "Enterprise-B." According to this list of shuttle flights, the Enterprise conducted 5 atmospheric flights prior to STS-1, which used Columbia as the vehicle. In a sense, Columbia was the second shuttle. It is also interesting to note that Columbia returned on April 14, 1981, which was a Tuesday.

Release date November 18, 1994


Not long after the USS Enterprise-A completed its final mission ... Captain James T. Kirk, Captain Montgomery Scott and Commander Pavel Chekov attend the christening of its successor, the USS Enterprise-B ... On its maiden voyage, the Enterprise receives a distress call from two ships transporting El-Aurian refugees from their homeworld after it was destroyed by the Borg. Captain Harriman debates for a moment, considering the new vessel's diminished capabilities (few vital systems, such as tractor beams, had been installed, as this was something of a test run -- something of a running joke holds that everything will be installed on Tuesday), but decides to respond to the call and help the ships. Upon arrival, the crew find that the two ships are slowly being destroyed by a mysterious orange ribbon of energy: intense gravometric forces in the vicinity of the energy are rapidly compromising the ships' hull integrities, which will eventually lead to complete hull collapse, an explosion, and the death of everyone on board.

[There is something about this too that I can't quite explain, perhaps I crashed landed once in a fighter in a similar fashion:]

A harrowing three minutes later, in which the saucer soars to the surface of Veridian III and slides along the ground for quite some time, removing all vegetation and a significant amount of soil from a long swath, the section shudders to a halt. It is quite obvious that the Enterprise will never fly again.

In June, the first launch of an advanced Pegasus XL from the L-1011 Stargazer carrier plane ended in failure; the cause has been identified as aerodynamic problems due to faulty hydro simulations (no wind tunnel testing was done).
