ITs not the plan acerkiwi, its the pilot. Just like the gun, its not the gun its the man pointing it who makes it dangerous same with this. With out the pilot the plane it only a plane standing still. Okay one mind any weapon Oorahh USMC.
@MrDew045 Hey mate the pilot is the jockey. Takes alot of mechanics, technincians, engineers to make the machine ready to fly. Dont get me wrong, i have great respect for the pilots they to are highly skilled.
@beergut111 I"m not saying pilots aren't important, but both rely upon each other. You know how long the pilots' jets would remain air worthy without the constant maintenance the engineers provide? The kinds of pressures the jets must handle would ruin even a Hornet if not cared for after every single flight. Without our engineers, we would never have the jets for our well trained pilots. In that sense, I am correct.
@beergut111 You're getting off topic, humans always fuck up. The point is if you hand a pilot a wrench and tell him to run standard maintenance on his plane him'd probably tell you to ask an engineer because it's not his job to keep his plane running.
@koenigsegg661 fuck you asshole how dare you say that about a branch of our military,the people who are making sure you can write stupid ass comments like that
@koenigsegg661 Oh well if your cool about it im sorry,i thought you were one of those people who think they are better than everyone and make trash talk comments.........i just hate it when people think one branch is better than the other........but if its friendly smack talk,which is obviously what you were intending..........im really sorry for freaking out
@mickster026 u dont beleive!!!??? ok ask ur rulers Israel and also ur alloy India. then they will tell u that what PAki Pilots did with them in 1967 1965 1971 and 1973.
my dad is a f-18 pilot in beaufort south carolina i watch him fly about once a week depends what is going on i really do understand the meaning of the f-18 my dad is training to fly an f-35 though i am gonna miss them flying f-18s more often but i guess what goes up has to hit the ground some time
@1987hawkeye congratulations. could you tell me how did your father became pilot? i also want to become f18 pilots ask him dental and other rquirments to enter the naval academy please
@eliahu33 he went into the naval accademy and trained for a long time and to get accepted what i would say is get as many recomendations as possible that all i can tell you since im only 14 XD but good luck
my dad is a f-18 pilot in beaufort south carolina i watch him fly about once a week depends what is going on i really do understand the meaning of the f-18
I would love to serve my country. the love of my life is AVIATION. I have always wanted to becomea military pilot, i am attending college to earn my flying degree as we speak. I was going to do AFROTC, but have learned that their pilot slots are as rare as a virgin at Kent State, I hear that Navy and Marines is the most likely chance of obtaining a pilot slot. Any ideas?
@gordomarley It's hard in both services right now. With the current state of the economy not many pilots are getting out of either service so it's very competitive either way. The Air Force is pushing heavy for UAV's so even if you got a pilot slot in that service then you would have to worry about getting stuck in the UAV pipeline. And another thing to consider is that in a year or two it may be easier to get a slot in the Air Force or the Navy or both. Don't game the system.
@SaberTanker22 They couldn't even be launched, because they have a single-center mounted nosewheel and no launch bar. Even if it did have a launch bar, the catapult would snap the landing gear off because of the wheel itself nailing it on takeoff. It could land, it does have a hook. It would still run the risk of breaking something though.
These are going to replace the British Royal Navy's harriers and supplement the JSF and Eurofighter. The Super Hornet is a fantastic piece of American engineering, I'm glad we could be part of it.
The super hornet doesnt seem like the great upgrade it seems to be ive read that the a through d model hornet has better mobility and plus theres nothing the super hornet can do that the original hornet cant and it not as good of an air to air combat fighter as the f-14d super tomcat i bet that if the super tomcat was as easy to maintain as the super hornet that they would be flying instead of these 60 million dollar "super bugs".
Australia and Japan want to buy F-22 Raptors. I think we should sell them. The US is selling most of the same technology in to Europe in the F-35 anyway. Keeping the production lines open for the raptor is a good thing.
@ieast007 Some say that LM is ready to built a low profile F22, that would be their chance, but i don´t think Australia needs something like a F22, F/A-18s and F35s would be just fine, the case of Japan is different, with China growing fast also in the military and with NKorea disturbing in the neighborhood. But Japan also have a second choice the Eurofighter
F22 Has JET Engine Mach 2.25 NOT FASTER THAN RUSSIAN LONG RANGE interceptor MIG 31 Has Top Speed Mach 2.83. with NEW Russian Long Range MISSILE Novator K-100 KNOWN AS designed as an "AWACS killer Range 200km.
@hermitcrabstuff34 how do you expect to go into something when you dont know how to spell it. i want to go into the navy, but you dont see me saying i want to go into the navie...
@mister2657 - If your dad is a 'real pilot' in the navy, wouldnt you take his word if he tells you its hard?. I mean he has landed on a real carrier, and about 3% of the people who have ever watched this video have to so looking here isnt really going to get you an answer except for the people who fly on fsx and they will tell you its really hard... Stick to what he tells you you'l learn alot more from him than you will here...
wow, what a hard-on. if i wanted to listen to music i would've typed in music. In this case....i typed in f-18 not a homosexual song where i cant here anything but the damn song.
but I LOVE these JETS! GO UNITED STATES NAVY! If our country's AirForce got at least ONE F18 I would already serve in there! the only GOD DAMN soviet airforce. WHY WAS I BORN HERE??! I don't belong, GOD DAMN IT!!!
@ALEKSANDREXE2 So come to America and join us! Join the U.S. Navy. Have a Bachelor's degree with strength in either science or mathematics? 1.) Become a United States Citizen. 2.) Join the Navy and get a flight trainee slot, finish the training as best you can, and you'll probably get your own fighter. See you on the seas.
@Tomcatsux4ever True dat. It can do it all, air to air, air to ground etc and its not like they are wasted tax payer money- they will be resold when the joint strike fighter is ready.
@N1cholas240 ignore the idiot below but 150 f035s dam your country is a sercert military power then i think only closet nato coutries ie canada and UK should get the 35
Screw that. The F-18C is one of the best aircraft the navy ever had. It flew over 4,500 missions overall and the numbers are continuing to rise, something that the F-14 never did.
@Boopertheboop Thats because the Tomcat had a full range radius, but couldnt carry alot of bombs. the hornet was the complete opposite. which the navy wanted
@Boopertheboop you are rite but you have to remember when the f-14 was in service the us had not much going on with wars we were done for a while other than some bombing runs
You know it's funny, fighter pilots in Australia are lucky if they get to fire one missile over their entire career, but it seems to be a regular occurance in the US Navy!
@PRSOV Yes but you see the US navy has a good air force compared to Australian one. We would get our ask kicked If we went up against anyone with an actual air force. We are only now using the F/a 18 super hornets which is an 4th generation fighter jet. The Russians have have 6th generation fights that make the F/A 18 super hornets look like toys.

@PRSOV It doesnt matter how many missiles you fire but how much flight time you have as a pilot ......cuz you can fire 100 missiles and not hit anything and the austrailan(or whoever) might just need 1 ....In the end it all comes down to the dogfight though :)
What do you mean by roll? The pitch and turn away from the carrier, but never roll. Especially on takeoff/launch. If a pilot tried to roll on launch, he would certainly hit the ground.
Once the aircraft leaves the deck of the carrier the roll usually to the left and then pitch up to climb, it's so common you will see it in nearly all carrier take-offs!
@okok810 Yup. The super hornet is capable of carrying 10+ bombs unlike the Tomcats 6 bombs. the only problem with the super hornet is the range and speed. so anyways, the super hornet is practically better than the tomcat in so many ways.
I think many of you have no idea what these planes were designed for. F-18 was a multi role fighter that competed with the F-16 during the AF competition. The F-14 is a FLEET DEFENDER using the phoenix missile system, mach 2+, and using a powerful radar and an advance targeting and tracking system. The Tomcat didn't get its bombs until WAAAAAAY later called Bombcat.
I joined the military for the purpose of flying the f-18 and one day I succeeded, although I was assigned as co-pilot... so - I shot myself.
Now i wish I hadn't after watching this!

@TheJamesd92 6th generation????? What does ANYONE have that qualifies as a 6th generation fighter? You might want to recheck your source on that one.

@PRSOV Yes but you see the US navy has a good air force compared to Australian one. We would get our ask kicked If we went up against anyone with an actual air force. We are only now using the F/a 18 super hornets which is an 4th generation fighter jet. The Russians have have 6th generation fights that make the F/A 18 super hornets look like toys.

@PRSOV It doesnt matter how many missiles you fire but how much flight time you have as a pilot ......cuz you can fire 100 missiles and not hit anything and the austrailan(or whoever) might just need 1 ....In the end it all comes down to the dogfight though :)

Why do fighters always roll as they leave the aircraft carrier, is this some sort of way of increasing speed quicker?
PRSOV 2 years ago
What do you mean by roll? The pitch and turn away from the carrier, but never roll. Especially on takeoff/launch. If a pilot tried to roll on launch, he would certainly hit the ground.
Wags182494 2 years ago
Once the aircraft leaves the deck of the carrier the roll usually to the left and then pitch up to climb, it's so common you will see it in nearly all carrier take-offs!
PRSOV 2 years ago
They need to position away from (a) the carrier and (b) the next ensuing launch from directly behind.

@okok810 You said the Tomcat is better than the Super Hornet. I object.
SuperHornetTV 2 years ago 10
then you prove please ^^
carry more bombs ? etc......?
okok810 2 years ago
@okok810 Yup. The super hornet is capable of carrying 10+ bombs unlike the Tomcats 6 bombs. the only problem with the super hornet is the range and speed. so anyways, the super hornet is practically better than the tomcat in so many ways.

@Super
I think many of you have no idea what these planes were designed for. F-18 was a multi role fighter that competed with the F-16 during the AF competition. The F-14 is a FLEET DEFENDER using the phoenix missile system, mach 2+, and using a powerful radar and an advance targeting and tracking system. The Tomcat didn't get its bombs until WAAAAAAY later called Bombcat.

@SuperHornetTV I like them both, but IMO tomcat if just more beautiful. FIGHTER FLING FTW!

@SuperHornetTV Plus, why did so many grown men cry during the tomcats last flight? And why is the Tomcat called the Navy's last fighter? Hmmm
