BVR Productions

The F-14 Tomcast is an internet show dedicated to the Grumman F-14 Tomcat and the amazing men and women who flew, fixed, fought, and loved her.

Season 1, which aired between September 2021 and August 2022, was hosted by a former US Navy F-14 pilot and RIO duo who, combined, had more than 30 years, 5,000 hours, and 1,000 carrier landings in the Tomcat. Episodes featured guests explaining the F-14's service from early development to the beloved fighter's retirement.

Season 2 is in development. Stay tuned!
