This is the final fly-off event of the tomcat. USS Theodore Roosevelt has just completed a successful cruise in the gulf and is offloading its airwing prior to its return home. This is also the last deployment with F-14s. This video is the beginning of a launch event, showing the ability of the Nimitz-class carrier to launch 3 planes simotaneously. Yeah, it's pretty boring towards the beginning while they're going through all the pre-launch checks. Plus, it's hard to tell when they're actually going to launch from that far away....
