Uhhh... how bad is that about to go? I imagine different forces on the wings is a bad thing.

I suppose that is a signal for a right turn?

Yes, it looks like he has quite a bit of aileron in there to keep it level.

Actually, it went quite well . That's pre-production No. 3 testing how well the Tomcat could fly and land in cases of asymmetrical wing sweep. It's now on display at the Cradle of Aviation Museum on Long Island.

Tomcat says, "sup dude?"

Damn. I love new shit, it's like my 60's SF novels coming to life in my lifetime. I also recognize that the so-called "classic rock" is more interesting than more modern stuff. And F-14's are classic rock from my perspective. I dunno if that was the models hanging in my bedroom, Top Gun, or my early 20's meet up with a Navy pilot out of Moffet in a bar where we drank way too much and him telling me stories of turning the plane with wings extended like a kite 90 degrees to the direction of travel to execute a turn on a dime. (There was a slight swoon in there somewhere. Though I never wanted to have his baby.)
