thats not a waste of money flight its P R and and also good traing for the crew also demonstrating to JOHN Q. Public haw there money is being spent by demonstrating crew effenency and just how versatile this equiptment is . there not doing anymore than wouldent have to do in the fleet when called upon toi do so. the navy also dose rescue work during disasters where short field manuvering is nessasary . every bit of training they get makes them more efficent when it has to be done when nessasary
@a77boy Who's to say I haven't had rides like that during my military avaition experiance. I would love it sure, but its everyone's money and just a handfull reap the benefits. Fair? Don't ask yourself why the US Dollar is so weak and prices continue to rise while the Government and military continue to spend its own currency into oblivion. Its Why our national debt is more than GDP.
Its waste. Period. The JATO takeoff serves no purpose militarily.I know this because I'm a Pilot.
@CCWSig Yeah,, The day we shot in the cockpit they did not have the audio patch cable with them, the one day they forgot it.. We had to improvise and use the audio from a flight the following day, or something like that. Plus the 1080p AVCINTRA codec was not cooperating that day,, The 6 channels of audio were giving us problems. My audio guy was having a hell of a time in the heat, and the DAT recorder was low on batteries, so we had to make due with what we had. Thanks for noticing though :)
i hope i ever get the chance to meet a cobra pilot in gulf came down 40ft off my amtrack eye level hovered then flew upside inverted shot tank in fron't on other side of burm heard him on comm like silk i got him this video remind's me of how well marine pilot's are
I'd trade my Six Flags lifetime pass for this once in a lifetime opportunity.....You guys look like you had so much fun...Great Video!!!! GO NAVY!!!!!
Talk about pushing negative g's, awesome...from 2:07 to 2:16 watch the guys at the end standing up by the ladder, they had the best ride lol....to cool
@reedsouth06 My cousin was staioned at Ft. Stewart, i'm in Savannah. His name is Taylor Harter. His gunner was the first casuality in the MRAP when deployed to Iraq. When the IED blew it took off the front end and flipped upside down. Taylor was on fire when they pulled him out. He woke stateside in Walter Reed. Both legs have been amputated and he still has shrapnel in him. Thank you for the job you and the other men and women do for us here.....David Taylor
This is the first chance I've had to sit down and watch this - and it BLEW ME AWAY! I'm going to send the link to Eddie Jorge and the Fat Albert crew. I doubt they have ever had anvything like this done for Bert. I am so happy that you and the TV69 guys enjoyed the flight .. and it was MY PLEASURE to set it up for you. II have some lithos for you guys that I will get to Benny on Monday.
Thanks again, John. (Thanks for the thank you, also!) r/ Jon Gagne, NASK PAO

Please repose this video without the music. It's too distracting and drowns out the hum of the turboprops and the pilot/aircrew coms.
