Tomcat Tangle

A section of F-14Ds was on a "photoex," taking pictures of each other. A goal was to photograph the underside of a fully loaded Tomcat in vertical flight. The aircraft maneuvered in close formation and entered vertical flight with a 3.5 to 4.0 G pull. While the lead F-14 maintained a steady pull, the wingman maneuvered to take the photo. In vertical disposition, the lead Tomcat rolled 90 degrees with the wingman close aboard. Then, the formation pulled into a loop culminated by a vertical fan break with 90 degrees difference in heading at the maneuver exit.
