VFA-192 World Famous Golden Dragons

[ThrustVector23]

[aasyran]

@ThrustVector23 tyertysysstivc:'adweadd at the ggearfsfsf supercharge rert was ewrwe a very ggwe good

[midnightneonmatt]

What DVD is this? I would like to look it up.

Thanks.

[aasyran]

@midnightneonmatt dvd frm hollywood likteettet littl title tg terminator

[coolkid1446]

does anyone know y he put on the afterburners after landing

on the carrier at 4:00

[DreamAboutSpace]

@coolkid1446 every pilot turns on the AB befor landing. In case he misses a wire he wanna go full throttle so he doest need to use his parachute if you know what i mean

[midnightneonmatt]

@coolkid1446 The reason for applying the burners is so if the cable snaps or if he misses it he will still have enough speed and power to get airborn. If he misses the cables the term is a "Bolter". but there ya go :o)

How I wish I had 20/20(6/6) vision......

Damn you RAF!

[blakeblake321]

Mate, I don't think you need 20/20 of the bat. but be correctable to that.

[chickenruler]

@blakeblake321

I'm afraid that, from what I've been told after much research, you do need 6/6(almost 20/20) vision. But that is only to be a pilot in the RAF. There are a lot of other roles as well.

[coolkid1446]

@chickenruler

They are currently having laser eye serguries to allow people to become pilots.

But note this. It has to be preformed by them. The way they do it corrects your vision without weakening the eye to g forces.

[chickenruler]

Oh, and you're not allowed to wear glasses

[planbskater703]

yay my dads in this!! hah he flew for them like 6 or 7 years ago in Japan... awesome squandren <--- dont know how to spell that :/

[AAFC111]

they are not allowed to put in the radio calls

and the music adds more rhythm and makes it sound better

[TonyDog360]

Of course they're allowed to put in radio calls, wtf are you smoking.

[stevethepilot]

Why do people always have to dub lame music over these videos. It'd be so much better if you could hear the hum of the engines and the radio chatter.

[germanchocolate1982]

An F-18 fueling another F-18! That's awesome! Never knew they did that!

[hungryoprah05]

This is a great video.

[LSPENNY]

dude the vfa-192 is the navy sqd. not the jet.

and yess it is the f-18

[urbn1717]

Whats the song tittle ?

[DCMclarenFan]

does anybody know when (or if) vfa-192 will transition to the super "E" hornet? will they just wait until they get F-35's?

[fishtank133]

I wish I could gly like that... :)

[hitwithkicks]

whole lot of skills in these pilots, they literarly controll the planes, if they cant land them, no one else can, it's on their hands, i really got impressed of the night landing, cuz you dont see a shit, you have to trust your instruments, your training and what been teached...

[papanastassiou]

at 1:03 is that F/A 18 refuelling from another F/A 18 ?

[Trivon90]

yep

[Bodan93]

they can do that. cool ey :) i think they may need external fuel tanks for it however, but im not sure,

[LarryThatKid]

Were Those A-10's on the slanted runway? Or am i seeing things?

[mirlin235]

Dude its an F-18

[mirlin235]

or you might be thinking of the E-V8 Prowler or the the Viking

[LarryThatKid]

Looking back on it, I don't know why I left that comment

lol

[laxman888]

Navy doesnt fly A-10s

[LarryThatKid]

yeah i was probably high or just hella stupid

[harman443]

seeing things, air force is A-10's

[LarryThatKid]

yeah ima dutch bag

[JayPull85]

Do they get concussions or rattled when they land?

[jm338]

so much has been achieved in the little time we have been on this planet

[YaDad23]

do these guys get used to the G-force after flying for so many hours/months etc and does the g-force cause u to get slightly shorter after so many years, i know bob sled racers can lose up to 2 inches from their origanl height by the end of their career

[03CobraRick]

Is this DVD for sale anywhere? I guess it's probably just circulated within the squadron/Hornet community but I'd really like to get a copy of it if possible! Watched a bunch of these vids from the VFA 192 - awesome stuff.

[ksamos]

These DVD's are for sale by most of the squadrons at the airshow every year at NAS Oceana in Virginia Beach, VA. You can really load-up.

[Razgriz227]

what time of the year is it normally?

[ksamos]

If you are referring to the NAS Oceana Airshow in Virginia Beach, VA....it is usually the 2nd to 3rd weekend in September every year. Keep an eye out on the Airshow schedules.

[Razgriz227]

haha yeah i was but it put it down here..

but yeah thx alot man!!!!

i really want to go ive only been to Oceana once and i just cant wait to go again!

[DIAMONDBIRD4]

Mega...lo maniac !!!!

nice vid..as always! kick ass!

[ba7raini180sx]

We bring our own cameras for vids such as these. We have two normal cameras that film normal cockpit views for review after the flight, such as the HUD and other displays.

[AllTheTages]

do they have the camera on already... or do the pilots take it on?

[51Sarge51]

i think they have a camera mounted on there already, incase they need to review something or file something like a dog fight

[AllTheTages]

i c... thnx

[ziggafoola]

i fly ,, the purest form of flying there is,, check out my style and tell me what you think

[MomOfSailorOnUSSKH]

I am always amazed at how these pilots land these planes. I wonder if they ever get whiplash?

[leogex]

My old squadron,lol

[MOMofUSsailorONKH]

A British citizen once told me that our air power far exceeds any other country. I can believe this, especially when you see these skilled Navy Pilots! They do rock!

[F15EagleDriver3]

a single US carrier has more attack aircraft on it then 90% of the countries in the world. And the US has 13 active carriers i do believe....plus the airforce....and the marines...and the reserve....scary.

[MomOfSailorOnUSSKH]

cool Eagle Driver. Are there F15's on the Aircraft carriers as well? I know about the planes with the disks and the F-18s. I have a lot to learn about the Navy, but have been learning a lot form these movies. My son doesn't really discuss anything with me. He is pretty quiet.

[F15EagleDriver3]

Na, F-15's are an Air Force fighter. They cannot land or take-off of carriers. The only US navy fighters are F-18's at the moment. Carriers also fly E-2 hawkeyes S-3 Vikings (soon to retire), and EA-6B Prowlers. All of which have different rolls to play with the US NAVY.

[MOMofUSsailorONKH]

Is that object on the hose that came down from the other aircraft a refueler?

[t34t45fa18]

Yes, that is a Super Hornet acting as an airborne tanker. The centerline pod is a combination fuel tank and fuel transfer pod. Tanking is performed on almost every single mission launched from the carrier.

[MOMofUSsailorONKH]

Thank you. That is most interesting. I used to buy parts for aircraft when I worked for the Federal Govt. at a local Air Force Base that is no longer open. I have always been interested in Airplanes. It is fascinating how clever engineers are in developing functions.

[MOMofUSsailorONKH]

These jets are fantastic. I once saw the Blue Angels when they came to Sacramento last. They were practicing before the show, and they flew really low over the American River as I was crossing the bridge. It was a fantastic sight, and you could see the pilot's faces, they were that close. I have to hand it to the pilots, they must have very strong stomachs to hold up when going upside down LOL. BRAVO!

[delta590]

thkz

[delta590]

i have not heard this song in a long time what is it

[mardukcz]

I believe the song is Megalomaniac, played by Incubus.
