  • I love dos gringos but c'mon guys! you can't diss Navy pilots, especially about the carrier landings....no crosswind or flare...that's true but the 3 wire IS a moving target that happens to be a small one, not to mention when the deck is pitching...Dos gringos is just jealous!

  • @The858Mike And their biggest reason for not wanting to? ;)

  • Who need drugs when you have night traps?

    BZ VFA-2!

    :-) USNA '75

  • Wait. I thought the new Navy slogan after the first Gulf War was : "Join the Navy. Meet Guys."

  • If it was easy, we'd let the Air Force do it.

  • Why is this video of an F-16 if they aren't carrier capable?

  • @eclipse245 Just a hint, it's not real. Secondly the group is made up of F-16 pilots, the song was about landing on a carrier so putting their plane on a carrier seems apt doesn't it?

  • As a Navy pilot, I like this.

  • @Nickse5 same, good healthy rivalry :D

  • haha wtf an f-16 landing in a CARRIER? not in this world baby

  • NIce video ! BTW that's not how you fly a barrel roll... (0:15)

  • Quite correct, but the lyrics also say "just like in top gun" and that didn't do a barrel roll either.

  • yes they did! can't remember when, but i think before goose dying he rolls off on a dual launch!

  • Usually it's only subs that hot-bunk, pilots on CVNs get their own racks, IIRC.

  • From what I hear from my Navy buddies, the real suck of a CVN is that you can get screwed out of shore leave a lot if the weather's bad. Since they have such a deep draught, they can't get too close to shore, and if the weather is being shitty, then they can't take out the launches, thus, no shore leave.

  • Actual cost estimate here:

    It costs ten times as much to conduct a carrier-based sortie than it does to conduct one from a land base.

  • The USAF actually stopped trumping that number around awhile back, because it costs three times as much to launch a USAF sortie compared to a USMC.

    The cost effectiveness argument only works when you're the most cost-effective :)

  • Maybe because the USMC doesnt bother to fix their planes so they dont spend the money per sortie on maint.

  • @Apocal43

    now we compare the payload of a F/A-18 to a BUFF. Cheers!

  • @Apocal43

  • @Apocal43

    So what changed? Or was the number rubbish to begin with?

  • Costs more because of how long it takes to train those thick-headed jarheads to do the simplest task ^^

  • Navy Pilot: We're better than you, we make maore scarifices, and can land on boats!!!!

    Air Force Pilot: Whatever.... *goes back to 4 star hotel and has a nice, proper cold beer, sees family again in a few weeks if he's singles or unfaithful, finds some chicks to fuck, while navy pilot get's stuck in the middle of nowhere with thousands of men

  • There were about 800 chicks on my boat. Along with the EOD guys at least one pilot was fucking a boat chick

  • woah,,,,, cool, stil air force guys get the hotels and stuff, sounds like a more appealing life..... but hey, i havent served, what do i know. still, much respect for what u've done for ur country...... here in singapore, all of us guys have to serve 2 years, just like in israel,,,,, my enlistment dates coming in 2 years

  • and with those Superhornets and F-35's (when the 35's come out). the plane lands by itself so they can't brag anymore. well ok they kinda can because if auto pilot isn't working.

  • i wouldn't let a dam computer land my plane for me if u gave me the power to be invinsible and all the money the world can offer

  • @Apocal43 too bad those chicks are either pretty damn unhomely unless you're wearing your boat goggles or have had a whole MEU or MEF's worth of dicks in their snatches already D:

  • @Apocal43 A pilot was screwing an EOD guy?

  • @Apocal43 Now, I'm not in the military, but 800 chicks to how many thousands of men? Still seems rather lonely.

  • i wanna take off from a carrier but i don't wanna land on it cause all those seaman. never going to join the navy so JOIN THE USAF!!!!!!

  • Suck my balls.

    Cheers from VFA-2 cocksucker.

  • CVN-65 baby!

  • right on

  • Nah, no problem at all. ;)

  • To answer thescoutno...

    Landing works "fine". Only way to take off from one is to land on it first though. There's no way to start a mission on deck.

    To actually perform the landing, you need to be able to put the jet down where you want it first. Then make your approach, drop the hook (ctrl-k by default).

    Don't flare, and force the nose down immediately (I usually start pushing the nose down just before contact). If you don't get the nose down, you won't stop.

  • Couldn't be original and had to post my vid from over there, eh.

  • I got this version of the vid emailed to me largely from the blue. There weren't any credits so I didn't list any, although I recognized the game.

    If you want, I can take it down. I only wanted it for the song.

  • I'm...flattered...you stole my video from that other video site. Too bad I didn't make it more of a daytime rather than dusk shot.

  • How do you take off/land on carriers in Allied Force?

  • I love Dos Gringos, I like this song, but basically all they do here is list why Navy pilots are better. Go Navy!!

  • Haha, are you serious? Oh wow crosswinds are so damnedh hard..I take it you've never flown a plane. If you have a problem flaring or landing in a crosswind you have no business in a cockpit...now landing on a tossing deck and grabbing a cable is an impressive feat.

  • Lol..or you could just fly off the handle..I'm not gonna argue with you, anyone of reasonable intelligence can see that carrier landings are generally harder than landing on a runway..which is all I said..and leave the name calling at your high school..

  • "Join the Navy? Livin' on a boat? Hot bunkin'? Do a Night Trap? I DON'T THINK SO!"

    "And I love my hot cappuccino and per diem out the ass!" LOL. "That's the way to fight a war."

  • Love the music.
