S-3B Viking Video

[trechan]

The Navy LOVES the first song. 

[vitorsanta]

I'd rather listen to their engines than the music :P Good video anyway.

@vitorsanta

Good call !!!!

craigjhr - You want spit polished boots or people who get the job done?

[ZooropaJim]

Great video!

[MadPhysics101]

Whoever said fighter pilots have all the fun?

[navysac]

Believe it or not, refueling can be quiet scary for the pilots. Had a jet come back with a busted out windscreen because the basket broke off.

[tbat123]

give the guys a break it must be hard to look cool when your flying a jet that is so slow it needs windscreen wipers.

[spikelong]

Sweet video. Long live the Vidars

[FlyingCaveman]

Gun pod around 2:20 ???

[rodgers32]

Those are MK-20 Rockeye cluster bombs on the S-3 flying lead at around 2:16...at 2:20 the wingman is probably filming the impacts as the lead has bombed the "smoke" dropped on the water.

[FlyingCaveman]

Hey we fragged one of our jets doing that :) Almost got killed by an A-6 dropping some blue death too!

[fighter052594]

Hey is Russ Oxby still in that SQ? Not as a pilot, have you heard of them.

[modano120]

i have it in revell

[m015094]

I want to adjust my gross weight on all those ISAR targets.  Ha Nice vid!

[alivewithpassion]

Go Ugly Early,baby!!!!!!!

Can I get a copy of this?

[Syzygy2992]

Scary tanking! Those guys need to learn how to plug! Vikings (S-3B) and Shamrocks (VS-41) forever!

[craigjhr]

Thank you. I thought I was the only one who noticed that. The middle finger adds a nice touch of military bearing. Thankfully, I haven't seen any Marine aviators doing that; I would be very disappointed if Marines posted that kind of content on youtube for all the world to see. These are just naval aviators being naval aviators, I guess.

[bfibbs]

Oh the memories! Thanks for that flashback to my old life! Go Shamrocks indeed!

[VzRyder55]

Duce Duce BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

[acam37]

I remember those days, VRC-50 NAS CUBI POINT. We flew the US-3A variant. AKA Miss Piggy.

[arc2589]

flowers on the wall by the statler brothers. great video!

[KuostA]

FANTASTIC FOOTAGE! Quite rare to find headcam perspectives, especially of in S-3's! Shows how difficult it is to refuel too! Second song killed it though, I understand the meaning, but why kill such a great video!?

[craigjhr]

It's not that difficult to plug, but this crew seems more concerned with grabbing ass, than aviating. Thank God you don't see Marines doing this crap.

[vikingbase]

Not difficult to plug unless.... you just flew 6 hrs. there is no horizon and no bingo. When you're a Naval Aviator you can do both kick ass and aviate. Semper Fly.

[WarHoover]

Oh please. The Marine hornet squadron in CAG 1 put on the funniest "Grab Ass" Fo'c'sle Follies skit I have ever seen.

I've flown with phenomenal aviators who "Grab Ass" with the best of them. On the other hand, I've flown with aviators who spend an hour each day spit-polishing their boots, searching their flight suits for IP's, and touching up their flat-tops, but are complete train-wrecks in the cockpit.

Guess who I would rather have with me for a single-engine night trap in the goo?

[k3punk]

The music is absolutely indicative of the War Hoover. The vacuum of the sky, flies low, flies low. Go Shamrocks! VS-41, One Team, One Mission, The Best For Our Fleet!

[Suomi2K4]

Nice vid and a nice bird ! What's that second song called ?

[mattanunn]

Go Ugly Early!

PS. GO SHAMROCKS!

[loveangel2572]

Nice Bird...lol..*wink
