  • you stole this video from Flarehappy09

  • This is badass..... 100%.

  • badass!!!!!!!!1

  • haha great song choice!

  • was that a bomb that you dropped at 1:18?

  • @UAHawaii haha no its a fuel tank brotha

  • @UAHawaii haha no its a fuel tank brotha ...or a dummy bomb

  • I guess the problem with the US military is too many old pilots. I know if I was a pilot I would not have Steppenwolf in my F-18's ipod connection. It would be Lil Wayne, Eminem, Jay-Z or at least NIN. Come on, this crap is so 1960s!!!

  • @psychoinhell get that rap crap out of here

  • @sickoicko12 oh so sorry, well you can go back to your music that glorifies an incestuous relationship with your sibling or offspring. Join the 21st century or live in the past like the Taliban

  • @psychoinhell don't forget Justin Bieber !!!

  • @raphy1123 if the pilot was jammin Justin Bieber, the plane would have to be pink :P

  • ahah liked the video / music

  • I'm so pumped for high school to end... the Navy will be an amazing experience.

  • wow

    

  • what kind of planes are you guys using now on the aircraft carrier? and how many can go on at a time? and i also plane to join this navy in my life.

  • @mgdisthebest mosty F18's, some C35's....fits about 75 planes.

  • SIZZLER!

  • It must be so hard to not want to squeeze the trigger and let a few rounds go off.

  • Boring!!!!!!!

  • @OnChThIs YOu try pulling 4 G's 20,000 Plus and come back to this video and tell me how boring that is, of course when your face is in the back of your skull and u pass out from the extreme pressure think about me sweetie Lol

  • nice video! i wish......

  • pure awsomeness

  • I wonder what Leonardo da Vinci would say if he saw this.

  • @Earth81184 He would probably go insane.

  • @Earth81184 he would get an erection

  • @Earth81184 he would say WTF???

  • @Earth81184 My guess would be... "DUDE!  Sweeeet!"

  • Every time I watch this video; I get a "Hard ON". Outstanding Video ......

  • Hell man...join a dating club. LOL

  • thats gotta be a hell of a rush

  • Bomb release at 1:18???

  • looks like it.

  • @eclipse245

    I don't think so. It looks a lot more like condensate from pressure differential on the wing.

  • @eclipse245 Nope, fuel drop tank.

  • @Scike no no no that waz a bomb

  • @TravisDia180 You're right it was a bomb release. Too small to be a Sargent Fletcher. I don't know what I was looking at.

  • That's got to be one of the best jobs in the world. Thank you for your service.

  • you know they don't really care by you thanking. It was their decision. And hell yea it's best job.

  • They may not care in Canada. Most Americans' (me included) love respect the military.

  • no no no. Lots of Patriots in Canada. Don't know why you automatically judge canada from like 0.00000003% of the population.

    Anyways. I respect the military. But I don't go all sucky, and thank them. They're not doing any good overseas anyways. The government is just wasting their lives. I feel sorry for them. I don't thank them.

    IF this was a world war. I would thank them. Because they are serving for our good. Right now...it's a partisans war.

  • Not doing any good overseas?! What about all the reconstruction and training of defence forces the Canadian army has been doing in Afghanistan? Do you know anything beyond what you hear on CBC?

    I only tolerate people like you only because it means the service of myself, my brothers and sisters in arms and all those before us has not been in vain. If idiots like you have the freedom and the privilage to say stuff like this without being killed by our government then we have done our job.

  • @retrosteveo YES agreed

  • F-35 will be taking over the A-10 Warthog(maybe not in Air National Guard), the F-16, F-15 Eagle(not Strike Eagle), F-18 Hornet (not Super Hornet), and the AV-8 Harrier.

    It is disigned for close ground support, bombing, and air superiority. And dont tell me anything about Su-37s, Migs, or Eurofighter Typhoons because they ARE NOT as good. V/STOL(vertical take off/ short landing) for Marines, STOL(standard take off & landing) for Air Force, and CV (carrier variant) for Navy.

    GO USA!!!

  • F-35 is replacing the F-16 and the F-22 is replacing the F-15 dipshit

  • not the f-15 strike eagle ;)

    check your facts again buddy

  • @scottrules95 actually the eurofighter and Su-37's are better!

  • What an awesome experience it must be to be sitting in the cockpit. The ride of a life time I will give my plate of food for a ride like that.

  • Cool!

  • nice

  • looks like lots of fun. I'm almost kind of jealous.

  • nice vid can some tell me the name of that song

  • It's Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf

  • I'm going to be an Air Force fighter pilot, hopefully I will be able to fly the F22 or F15 maybe the F16, but anyways, I love the Air Force but I have to admit that the navy pilots have sum HUGE balls(NO HOMO) to land on a moving ship, day n nite, good n bad weather on top of that, with the landing strip a couple yards long, while ours is THOUSANDS of feet. But I want to show my deep respect for you navy pilots out there b/c I would never want to have your jobs b/c i wouldnt have the balls.LMAO

  • any body knows the name of the song it machs perfectly

  • Comment removed

  • canadians have 2 pieces of had, so there is one.

  • 1:25-1:28 "I looked around......" (He actually looked around at the same time) LOL

  • I love this video. I can't wait for the opportunity to become a Pilot for the Corps.

  • Comment removed

  • nice and ace song

  • what is the song ?

  • If I have a 4 year degree can I go to Navy OCS?

  • Awesome Video

  • Go NAVY Beat Army

  • That was 8 kinds of awesome. Best job in the world!

  • My dream jon when i grow up is to be a navy F-18 pilot!!! im 13yrs old now.

  • by the time you're an officer they wont have f-18s anymore.

  • or they just might not be in service anymore. there still be around. they might be used for training flights and the such

  • f 35 wont replace f18 super hornet for navy

  • it will eventually. The navy is currently using the f35 now in test flights. The f-35 is replacing everything, f-16s f-182 and harriers with the VTOL version for marines (the one seen in die hard 4)

  • he lookes pretty hot in there, does the F-14 have air conditioning?

  • No, there's no environmental control system for the cockpit of filghters

  • f-14?

    their out!!

  • cool video i like the music

  • fucking great vid :D

  • He is from VFA-192 Golden Dragons. They like to wear the blue flight suits with the golden shirt. If you look at his helmet at 2:39 you can see the golden dragon on his helmet. He is launching and landing on the USS Kitty Hawk.

  • it´s great!!!

  • My dreamjob is to become a marine or join the cavalry with the leopard tanks!!!

  • My dream job when i grow up is to be an airforce pilot!!! im 13yrs old now.

  • Are you in the USAF JROTC or CAP? If not, you should look into that... :)

  • excelent video!!

  • question...why does he have a blue angels flight suit and undershirt on?

  • That doesn't Blue Angel, that looks standard CF uniform, I think he's Canadian.

  • Blue flight suit with yellow undershirt? thats blue angels uniform.

  • Blue flight suits are CF standard issue for F-18 Pilots, and the Yellow shirt is a flight designation (IE Red Flight, or Yellow Flight)

    Plausible to be Canadian.

  • Canadians don't have aircraft carries

  • No shit... thanks tips... Canadians launch off of US carriers all the time, its in the NorAD edicts. Its the same as Canadian JTF being dropped off by US Blackhawks, and the USAF using the MTA in Cold Lake, Alberta.

  • he looks canadina but he noting flying the right jet

  • matt321hot.... how do you figure that? its an F-18...

  • Moreover its not a Blue Angel helmit

  • just wondering cause i am in the navy and do work on the flight deck. never have seen a naval pilot on a ship or at an air station in a blue suit and yellow t-shirt...cept the blue angels pilots when i was in pensacola.

  • Yeah, I understand, the confusion is being from different countries. I'm with the Canadian Air Force. Mostly because our primary fighters are the F-18 Hornets, and we have no carriers or Navy Aviators, our Air force pilots train with the USN to get trap certified for allied excursions.

  • i like the music very very good!!!

  • I wish...

  • I work in the arresting gear on a nimitz class carrier. I must say i respect these guys, BUT GODDAMN CAN THEY CAUSE ME LONG HOURS OF MAINTENANCE!!! lol, its worth it though. keep soaring navy!

  • At the jet launches off the deck does it get a push from a catatpult? Does the pilot have the trottle set at full or maybe 3/4 already...anyone know please? Thanks. VFA-192 and the Golden Dragons will always be in my mind after seeing this amzng video.

  • Full throttle. Petal to the metal.

  • wow!!!!!!!

  • What a perfect song for this video. USN Aviators - None better. Go Navy!!!

  • this is a squadron from Japan VFA-192. jets are easy to learn :) landing on the carrier is the hard part. besides that my pilots always say its like driving a car

  • Kitty hawk i take it?

  • if anybody wants to be a fighter pilot nowadays there looking for kids with 4.0s and high ass scores on a.c.t 's and depending on what branch you fly for 100out every 1000 people who apply to the naval academy make and only 1 out those 100 will earn there wings, becoming an aviator for the navy these days is a very long road of hard acheivements but if you make it, its one of the coolest jobs.

  • agree. I think more people need to be realistic. If you're not scoring 98+ percentile on test scores, you likely won't make it. You have to be more or less perfect.

  • my fav oldies song!!

  • im trying to be a pilot... shits not easy

  • Hopefully i can be him in 5-10 years!

  • Same! But i live in England! Maybe one day i will live in America and do that!

  • Comment removed

  • hopefully thats wat i will be doin for a job when im 27

  • This is tooooo cooooool!

  • taiwan

  • eh, thought about it, i mean i dont know if i can or not, i am not a citizen and i want to fly f22, WTF, i dont know lol

  • haha, thats a passion.

  • oh, good.

  • do you like the g-force training?

  • wicked video. these guys have such cool jobs

  • Its videos like this that make me wonder whether i should join the air force or the navy.

    Its a tough decision :/

  • Yup, it is. My advice is to make the choice depending on which branch you want to be an officer in. Not what you want to fly.

  • @kdog3882 if you want to get paid for doing absolutely nothing, join the air force.

  • 5 stars!!

  • I was in the Navy for ten years. I got to ride in Helo's, LCAC's, Navy Seal rhib boats..had a blast!

  • Love the salute right before take off.Something no one should take for granted.The carpet ride tune is by?

  • steppenwolf

  • wow this guy can take some g's

  • ok thx good movie good music beautifull movie!!!!

  • with the landing his body shoots forward don't the have seatbelts!?

  • Pretty high G's during landing. But they do have full body harnesses (secures them to their ejection seat). They are very much strapped in....

  • the A/C's launch bar attaches to the shuttle, also the hold back fitting is conected to the H/B bar which releases upon cat release, the shuttle sends the A/C down the catapult until the launch bar releases and the shuttle is retracted once another A/C is on spot!

  • Great music timing, seen very rarely on Youtube.

  • its spelled out in the beggining of the video you motherf#$%^^g piece of stupid s$%t

  • song name?

  • Finally a good match between a flight video and choice of music....not to often seen on YouTube.

  • agreed! i love this video! especially the music timing at the peel off from the formation and landing!

  • The f-18 are not getting replaced everything one the super hornets are not the normal hornets some are them wont be in use super hornets the DOD said they will stay they unitl 2030 -2040 i know i didnt believe it myself cause you'lld think that they would have like alien type aircraft by than the way it's going the f-35 are great planes but i dont think it could beat a super hornet depends on pilot just looks at the stats and compare them

  • The F-35s are replacing the older F/A-18 A/B & C/D versions.

    The F/A-18 E/F Super Hornets are committed to service for at least 30 more years, correct.

  • Superb music choice.... :-D

  • superb!

  • good flight

  • wow...that forces you must be experienceing while taking off and landing...

  • The reason why the plane shakes on takeoff is because it is being hydrulicly pushed from 0 to (I believe)about 150Kts.

  • It's not hydraulic at all, it's powered by steam from the ships own reactor. It's a British guy that invented the steam catapult and funny thing is the Brits don't have a Carrier this size to use the steam catapult lol.

  • England is only the size of NY county...whattya expect? LOL

  • LOOL

  • Why does the plane shake during the liftoff? I have seen it in other movies an it seems to hurt very much, as if the plane was driving over a dog :P

  • There is a shuttle right below the aircraft's front gear and the aircraft connects to it with the T-Bar and they connect the holdback bar to keep it in place when giving full power and steam is charged into the piston from the ships reactor when enough steam is charged the catapult officer releases the piston and so janks the aircraft and the shuttle forward in less than a second you'll be traveling at 180mph it's very violent for the weak hearted.

  • You dont get a lot of time to admire your takeoff.

  • take off looks like it hurts or something

  • that movie is the shit!!

    make a new one with "Can't Stop" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. It would be even better!

  • HAHA thats my fuckin bro sweet video dude!!

  • niceee

  • this video is so cool

  • ik wats so wrong with his comment?? im gonna get marked down to but idc....

  • sorry for this, witch profession is best? archeologist, fireman, police officer, fighter piolt, PI, parkour/freerunning teacher, or profesional actor? because i cant make up my mind but fighter pilot is among the top for me with firefighter.

  • @Anthonyk14 be a fireman in the navy. you will get paid really high and you'll be serving your country

  • Another way is you can st go into the navy inlisted and you can fill out an officer pakage and send it in and then if your leutenents and captains put in a good word for ya like your responsible and capable to do what needs to be done you will be sent to flight school and youdont ne 20/20 vision you just ned to have it corrected but u cant wear glasses or contacts you can either get lasic or you can get yor oxygen/gas makes visor made so its just like one big pair of glasses

  • if u are acepted how long does it take to fly 1 of those things?

  • If you go to Marine Corps Officer Candidate School, you pass the ASTB, and you have vision close to 20/20 or correctable to 20/20 they GUARANTEE you a seat in flight school after completing 10 weeks of Officer Candidate School, and 6 months on Basic Officers Course (Since you're a Marine you need basic infnatry skills). However, once you finish the 6 months, you go on the Pensacola for flight school. The training evolution at flight school is about 2 years, then you hit the fleet.

  • so what would i  have 2 do to become a fighter jet pilot? im workin on my high school diploma but i kinda dont know what else to do...anybody?

  • ur gonna need alot more than a high scool diploma chief. Being a fighter jet pilot is not something you can just sign up for. You need to have spectacular boards and, more often that not, you have to attend the service academies for college (Annapolis, Colorado Springs, West Point, George Washington, etc...) and to get in to those you need, well, very good grades.

    you have to have 20/20 vision, must be athletic, and you cant have any health shortcomings (asthma, flat feet, or heart problems)

  • Most pilots do not come out of the military academies...

  • talk to your nearest NAVY recruiter they wil tell u everything u want to know. or go on the NAVYs website

  • You need a 4-year college degree, need to graduate from one of the Officer Candidate Schools, and be chosen for that service's flight program. I only know about the Navy's program - there are a series of flight training stages; Primary (where the class is split between Jets, Rotors, and Fixed Wing). If chosen for Jets there is Intermediate and Advanced (T-45), then wings, then you go to the Replacement Air Group, your first squadron for your a/c, ie F/A - 18. The lesson? Don't stop studying!

  • Marine Corps GUARANTEES seats at flight school if you qualify for it, which is basically what artyymac7 listed. You also have to complete Marine Corps Officer Candidate School as well which is extremely tough. When you hit the fleet. you'll be a fighter pilot, naval aviator, and U.S. Marine all rolled up into one. You need to be enrolled in a 4 year college to apply though. PM me if you need more info.

  • Go Marines not navy...they have nicer bases and they will be flying the f-35s first and all their old trashy f-18s and harriers will be replaced by the f-35b/c's.
