The F-14B Tomcat took off from runway 32 at KDTN Shreveport Downtown Airport, a small airport in Shreveport, Louisiana. The aircraft's departure roll was smooth, and it lifted off the ground at a speed of 138 knots, covering 4,786 feet of the runway, which is 95% of its total length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were warm, with a temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit, and a gentle wind blowing at 11 knots from a direction of 199 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 576 feet above sea level to 824 feet, an increase of 248 feet in just one minute. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead the airport, marking the beginning of the aircraft's journey to its destination.
The final approach to runway 15 at KBAD Barksdale Air Force Base was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 147.0 degrees at an altitude of 651 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The approach was likely a challenging one, given the aircraft's high speed and the need to align with the runway.
The landing on runway 15 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 164 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. However, the touchdown distance was good, covering 956 feet of the runway. The touchdown rate was heavy, at -754 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind blowing at 11 knots from a direction of 199 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 922 pounds of fuel during the flight. The landing distance was 3,644 feet, which is 31% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

The F-14B Tomcat successfully landed at KBAD Barksdale Air Force Base, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing capabilities. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 147.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 651 feet above ground level (agl). This approach angle and distance allowed the pilot to maintain a good visual reference of the runway and its surroundings.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 15, which has a length of 11,795 feet. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude above the runway threshold before touchdown. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 170 knots. This may have been due to the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe approach over a precise speed control.
The touchdown distance of 956 feet was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown speed of 164 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate of -754 feet per minute (fpm). A heavier touchdown rate can increase the risk of damage to the aircraft and its landing gear.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a precise alignment with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 81°F and winds of 11 knots at 199°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,644 feet, which accounts for 31% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline.
Overall, the F-14B Tomcat's landing at KBAD Barksdale Air Force Base was a successful and well-executed maneuver, demonstrating the pilot's skills and proficiency in landing the aircraft.
