Awesome video! I was the IT from 2002-2004.

1 person disliked the video, must have be a Taliban cave dweller.

@ Think Scripter. I just added your video to my favorites.

Thank you for your service to our nation.

[DMC1904]

Had a blast in the Diamonds. 2000 west pac was a blast. that unmanned 14 was spooky though. anyone ever get video of that?

[RVCAXD]

[TheRipperSPN]

What's the song?

[yoyoyoyoshua]

nice. based on the USS stennis right?

[MrWindowsvista]

Never seen a better fighter jet video : ) keep it comin´

[integralsrulz]

I have literally watched this video about a hundred times now and this is absolutely one of my favorite aviation videos. I'm a right seater on MQ-1's and it is my dream to graduate to the big leagues one day. Very well put together video sir!

[alivesince91]

grt video.f 18 are one of the most beautiful jets ever made.

P.S. can u tell me d name of second song..

[frentrup]

nice footage man! My friend "MUDDY"flew with the Diamonds in Vietnam A7s mainly..many cool stories..transitioned to F18s then retired as Captain..are you still flying?

[laxinitup62]

cloud surfing has got to be the best part of flying fighter jets in my opinion.

[googleisshittoss]

I enjoyed that...thanks for posting your experiences!

[DreamAboutSpace]

1:28 what is that?

[JetMechMA]

@DreamAboutSpace Looks like some kind of mission planning charts....like Jepp charts in civilian world. He might have written down a frequency to dial-in on departure....or an altitude or heading....along those lines I'm guessing.

[macichitte]

[ThinkScripter]

[billfish6244]

Thank you for your service. Naval Aviation is the best!

Question for you. Can you share any information on what happened to Scott Speicher back in '91? Do you think it was a Mig-25 that was able to shoot him down? Also, do you think he was killed in the crash or sometime later? Thanks

[MetaliCanuck]

great vid love the start i only got t0 do so many takeoffs off a deck when doing carrier quals through pilot exchange, greatest feeling ever being thrown off a deck.

[billfish6244]

ThinkScripter-thank you for this video and thank you for your service. Love the Navy and F-18s. Question for you regarding Desert Storm. Was Speicher really shot down by a Mig-25? I just don't believe the stories that I've read about the incident. Can you elaborate?

[Fighting31st]

I'm interested to know if you graduated from Annapolis?

[Fighting31st]

Wish they'd had tiny cameras in my day.

[Kukkonaama]

Is that really fun? I dreamed for like 5 years now of being fighter pilot in Finnish Air Force when i grow up few years more. :) I would like to hear answer from you ThinkScripter

This is during Operation Anaconda when the US first went into Afghanistan before Iraq. Shot on the USS John C. Stennis which this deployment, we had spent a total of 101 straight days at sea. Talk about groundhog day.
