This video brought a Tomcat tear to my eye… Seeing a heavy fighter operating off of a deck in such dramatic form makes you appreciate the Russian SU-33s while they are still around and brings back memories of American F-14s of yesteryear…

Thanks for post – great looking plane and ship. Why do the Poms need to use the F-35B STOVL on their new carriers when the Ruskies can use the Su33 (which would appear more analogous to the F-35C)? I thought the two carriers were fairly similar in displacement?
cheers
Nice video. I would not want to mess with Su-33s!
