[Shooterofguns]

Fighter Fling is better, just saying

[VvMimaivV]

@Acuario12acuario

I Have to agree with you. The F-18 Is sucky not gay i like the F-18 A little honestly but the tomcat is the Finiest war machine that the navy has had. TOMCAT FOREVER!!!!!!!!

[RacerX41]

Cool Video and nice Music too!

[acuario12acuario]

i think f-18 is a bit gay, tomcat forever!! the best video is fighter fliing 2004 and 2003

[Shooterofguns]

@acuario12acuario The best shots in this video are all old tomcat squadrons. ANY TIME BABY!

[jediz28]

[rOEN911]

impressive i can say,Really good action.

[23bgm]

Very nice the edition! It really sees like comics! Incredible footage. Awesome.

[PWR4HIM]

I love this video I get chills every time I watch it. My brother is a pilot is VFA-192, the fighting golden dragons on the west coast. I watch this one and the one from the west coast over and over. I have a question about the songs. I know the first is Anberlin, right? but what song is it. I know the Rise against one, but I find who did the remix of michael jackson's somebodys watching me? Every remix I find is not the right one. I really want that song.

[j0rd4n68]

just the best video of youtube

[TheIRONMANPRO]

Awesome video !!!!

[FutureMarine246]

I love the Hornet. hopefully I will be able to fly it when I join the Marine Corps but I fear the f-35 will keep me away from the beloved hornet

[singlesprocket]

Bravo Zulu

[setarcos4131]

its been awhile since I've seen this video, and it still my favorite on YT...I hope you get video from the next Ball.

[14oepf]

Weird, for some reason there's a delay on the audio. The same video posted by maynard623 has the audio synced to the right timing.

[nisocrew]

Strike fighter ball is a large get together for the F/A-18 community on the East Coast. It is a formal occasion with dress uniforms and a usually high ranking guest speaker. It is a chance for everyone to bring a pretty date and drink and talk about flying.

[94rainbowx33]

@nisocrew

This Video is so fuckin fantastic ,should have more than billions views by the way !!!

[DreamAboutSpace]

can anyone tell me what strike fighter ball is?

[nisocrew]

Yeah, unintelligible heavy metal gibberish is definitely more tomcat-like.

[TURKEYpilot101]

Im sure if this was a tomcat video....they would WAY BETTER MUSIC! Something hard core....well the tomcat was pretty hard core unlike the hornet, and superhornet

[gammathetasbear]

badass video is badass

what do you do when you are not flying? like, i hear that aviators have that as a primary and there is secondary MOS. so what would a secondary be?

[nisocrew]

@gammathetasbear

We don't normally have an actual secondary MOS that isn't aviation related. However, in a squadron, we are responsible for admin O, Legal O, coffee mess, Ops, skeds writer, maintenance O, and then there are all kinds of collateral duties and stuff. Hope that helps.

[gammathetasbear]

@nisocrew for sure, it helped me get a picture. thanks

[FLANKERATOR]

This is a masterpeice of work...the comics transitions are available in editing softwares like vegas and others...still to put together all that footage in such style...kudos to the creator!

[artbysean]

Awesome Job killer video and effects. I passed this on to numerous former VX-23 pilots and plane captains. They all got a big kick out of us being portrayed by the spies like us scene.

[okok810]

8:30 , the fuel tank exploded in the air ?

[14oepf]

@okok810 - actually you're seeing it splash in the water after it was jettisoned.

[Iciogay]

what's the name of the first song?

[nisocrew]

Behind Closed Doors by Rise Against

[okok810]

@nisocrew , thx buddy !!!!

[okok810]

what abt the 2nd song ? plz

[Maestro0608]

Fantastic!

[seanemt1]

Awesome video. lol I want that comic book. and yes ik that comic book is fake.

[cliffy67]

damn youtube... don't think my first comment made it thru..... But like others, I'd love to know what software was used re: the comic strip effects....amazingly done!!! Over the years I've collected many of the Fighter Flings and squadron videos on my trips to VA Beach and NAS Oceana....But this one?,,,well... Looks too damn good...must have an original. Anybody see one on Ebay? Or is there a friendly PAO listening?...lol Cheers Folks... FLY NAVY!!

[105thGunslinger]

Absolutely awesome! :)

[Stag15L]

has to be one of the best if not the best video out of the Strike fighters ball and the fighter flings

[harryhaslerx]

Very good Video! Also the Soundtrack, especially the first song.

But it's sad to see former Tomcat squadrons flying the F/A-18 :(

[FDNYL125]

i really wish someone knew what program they used when they made this

[pichelmayer]

From an AF Airman, I gotta say this video's one of the best damn aviation videos I've seen to date. Awesome job!

[idigstd]

Behind Closed Doors by Rise Against for the second track was a perfect choice. Best aviation video. Period. Great work to the creator and BZ to all the sailors and aviators who made it possible!

[zoroya525]

Great video, I think the best one since the last Fighter Fling 2004.

jhousdan, the video was done by the east coast squadrons only.

Thanks for your service guys, and keep the videos coming!

[jai5w4]

What program was used for the comic book effect and transitions? I know iMovie '09 has a similar, albeit more basic, function.

[nisocrew]

I wish that I knew. Unfortunately, I didn't make the video.

[Jerglings]

@jai5w4 It looks like they're using a mix of iMovies and Comic Life.

[LennyD888]

Totally epic! Thanks for serving, guys! And thanks for making a great video for us to see!

[missouricamber]

That was kick ass!!

[jhousdan]

this must just beat the East-coasters... none of NAS Lemoore or NAS Atsugi are accounted for.

[phantomTomcat1985]

Oh PISS!!

That was epic

[jhousdan]

hell to the yes it was!

[Bullet2984]

would love to know this too

[TURKEYpilot101]

what is the song that starts at 7:14??

[nisocrew]

Somebody's Watching Me by Presence

[burner12]

Great Video. I love the comic book style transitions to each squadron, never thought of that. Nicely done.

[Futeki321]
