FWIW, yes, it was torn out of a magazine. My next move was showing my pilot's license.

I'm sorry, 80. A guy as good as you can come up with more, even better moves. If you tell them you know Ferd or Super, move's aren't even necessary though.

Guessing they got to the "Configuration Warning" power setting threshold, got squawked at, slapped out the flaps, then advanced to T/O power....wow!

Lightweight in an F-14 (about 225,000lbs), about 250 kts at touchdown. Had a couple friends who did it -- the aircraft will stop, then the brakes turn orange, fuse plugs pop, brakes melt & catch fire, but with a good fire department you can save the airplane and replace the landing gear for about $800,000.

- Altitude: Altitude of aircraft in hundreds of feet. ‘T’ = temporary altitude, ‘C’ = Mode C altitude, ‘B’ = Altitude range.
- ### - This is the aircraft’s assigned altitude. This is reported if the mode C altitude reported by the aircraft’s transponder is less than 200 feet from its assigned altitude.
- ###C – This is the mode C altitude reported by the aircraft’s transponder. This is reported if the mode C altitude is more than 200 feet from its assigned altitude.
- ###T - This is an altitude that an aircraft has been cleared to; it is proceeding toward this altitude but has not yet reached it. It might be given a series of temporary altitudes.
- ###B### - The aircraft is assigned a block of altitudes; the first given is the lower altitude and the second is the upper, where the upper and lower limits are allowed.
- OTP/### – This is an on-top clearance. The flight can, within certain limits, be anywhere at or above the specified altitude.

They shake you to the heart. It's really cool to watch them takeoff at night with 20 ft flames coming out of 4 afterburning turbofans engines. If they come in low, they'll surprise you every time.
