BF3<3



[kawasakinuts]

i think i just shot my load watching this, what an awesome job

[bennyc333]

@ 0:51 No wonder it is so quiet, he must have ran out of fuel.

[leptir70]

1:38 that f18 is leaving like see ya

[MrBlakenshake]

@YehltzBetty its not turbulence dummy its G- force on the wings that make the plane bounce and the so called smoke isnt smoke its a thing called air

[FedosMV]

This is Frostbite 3 tech demo

[weirdguy564]

Am I alone, or is it somewhat sad that Navy and Marines need to be supported by Air Force tankers for fuel?

[scamper246]

@weirdguy564 No. It's the same as Army and Marine troops needing air support from the Air Force. We're all on the same side.

[thefog916]

PUUPUUPUUUPUUPUUPUU PUUUUUUUUUU PIPIPIPIPIPI TCHI RUM ~le flares~

[AlanShanagher]

Enemy fast mover inbound! Over.

[FURRYnacho123]

ENEMY LOCK! DUMP FLARES!!!

[thatguyovrthr1]

wait? but.... the aircraft carrier in BF3 doesn't look that big lol

[82ndairborne100]

@thatguyovrthr1 I know BF3 is just a game. That is a Marine Corp Helicopter carrier and a F/A-18 could never take off from that without a catapult. A F-35 could.

[DIGITALXxXDRAGON]

@82ndairborne100 they use a catapult in bf3.

[82ndairborne100]

@DIGITALXxXDRAGON No they don't. Look on the carrier there is none. Helo carriers don't have catapults.

[DIGITALXxXDRAGON]

@82ndairborne100 it's a video game. not everythings gonna be 100% accurate. calm yourself and dont reply.

[82ndairborne100]

@DIGITALXxXDRAGON BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE A CATAPULT PERIOD!

[82ndairborne100]

@DIGITALXxXDRAGON Then how can you taxi your plane all the way off the ship without getting launched off of it?

[MOZERONE]

@UncleRecolour FALL BACK BLIAT FALL BACK!!!!!!

[gypsy320]

I'm shit I'm the jet I only just unlock fire extinguisher xD

[TheMudron]

lol i knew there was gna be a bf3 comment, the enemy has c!

[SuperWtf999]

The pilot experiences a mindblowing acceleration whilst being propelled of the USS Enterprise deck ... 0-350 km/h in only 2 seconds to be exact.

Fuck sportcars, acceleration off the deck in a Hornet LIKE A BOSS!

[MOZERONE]

@gabrocki The enemy now control all objectives

[sisturfistur]

at 1:44 , what is that phenomenon called?

[YehItzBetty]

@sisturfistur turbulence

[YehItzBetty]

@YehItzBetty :)

[sisturfistur]

@YehItzBetty since when has turbulence caused smoke to appear from no where?

[beegeekidz]

I love seeing video like this. I had a family member that served on the cvn 68 the nimitz. anad it is nort that quite inside when they fly

[mlawren7]

I can't believe how hard they can bank that close to the ground.

[TheJackblack4]

Good thing there weren't any spawn campers...fucking bitches

[madkillerabdo]

wait a second....wait a second! An Air Carrier, Pilot checking systems, 2 Jets, in the sea....and above the clouds.....AND landing!

Hell Yeah BF3!

[DISISCHARLES]

i cant tell, is this bf3 or real life?

[sas1609]

0:10 gloves

0:22 no gloves

wtf?

[entropy40]

@sas1609 I know right. Someone needs to retake the SOP exam!

[SangetOrEsperanZa]

man being a pilot must be fucking awesome

[ignaciojork]

@SangetOrEsperanZa and be a NAVY F-18 pilot must be like a porn actor of pilots... lol

[Jalex17895]

pure bf3



[MrJerryrigged1]

I think i left my stomach back in the livingroom!

[jantebaeck]

I totally understand James May's fuzzy feeling when watching this aircraft flying so close to the water!

[JoJoJo151990]

FAKE!

There isn't a white dot in the middle when he looks around.

[DeadChick100]

@JoJoJo151990 Wow did you ever saw the sun?!

[JoJoJo151990]

@DeadChick100 Sorry, joke is for Battlefield insiders only.

[1337wafflezz]

@JoJoJo151990 I do hope you realize that the white dot is only on the HUD. Oh wait I get it, you're a BF3 troll. lol

[JoJoJo151990]

@1337wafflezz :D

[TheActiveAssault]

Humans...

[MOZERONE]

the enemy has been taken the objective i repeat the enemy has been taken the objective!! flares

[gabrocki]

@MOZERONE *Has taken.

[bak2snus]

@MOZERONE I have spotted an enemy jet in your AO proceed with caution over

[UncleRecolour]

@MOZERONE BE ADVISED

[shah0901]

you lucky bastard

[Nfarce]

It's not luck. It's studying in school from an early age and applying yourself. The "cool" stoners and party dudes who appreciate fighters today are, well, wishing they could go back in time...

[sabAPN]

that looks absolutely amazing thats a two seater plane right? lol me and my friend want to join the navy together

[livvidd]

pause vid at exactly 20 seconds. lol, must be really exciting to fly the F-18

[ninxdoh64]

is this BF3 or the actual thing?

[dreamrecorder]

Hornets by mandate Tomcats by choice. Finally one video here that has no retarded music added in, just the sound of the jet & the sky.

Was that film with the GoPro HD isn't it?

[TravAkira]

@ 2:01, I thought he was goin' in the drink with that quick left roll.

[TravAkira]

Wish there was more sound, but GORGEOUS footage. Nice post

[WeedIsGood4Y0u]

are these jets a smooth ride during cruise? or are they bumpy as hell??

[kylelewis71]

@WeedIsGood4Y0u wouldnt be much different than your average airliner, at cruise anyway..

[billfish6244]

What's the new visor set up on the helmet about?

[austy1919]

battlefield 3 graphics are better.

[blackneno]

I turn my head everytime the jet turns...

[MP7A3]

Love those Helmets!!

[TheUtubeTrasher]

this beast is really easy to fly. just use the arrow buttons

[blackopsmontage1000]

@TheUtubeTrasher hahahaaaaha

[zackdrink2]

I did this exact thing today in Bf3!

[0909bram36]

VFA-211 Checkmates? is that the squadron if so thats my uncles.

[96aLExH]

battlefield 3 ^^

[at9670]

F/A-18E Super Hornet is nice as SU-35BM Flanker ?

[assmotrone43]

@at9670 The overall quality and avionics are better, but the performance isn't as good.

-Super Hornet Pilot (Training) RAAF

[at9670]

@assmotrone43 soo in a dogfight who will win?

Is and eurofighter better?

[assmotrone43]

@at9670 The SU-35 most likely if the pilots are the same skill, but both are easily capable, it matters on the pilot. And yes the Euro fighter is good in many ways, but is still worse in other ways.

[at9670]

@assmotrone43 Thank you friend

[assmotrone43]

@at9670 No Problem, if you have more questions just ask me by private message.

[mrkrabz1991]

@assmotrone43 Ya, but the F22 could beat all

[EzacK05]

@mrkrabz1991 yeah after the pilot passes out. There's a reason they have stopped making them.

[moooooooo427]

that was f'ing fantastic!

[Subject0ne]

Might be a stupid question:

In a F/A-18F Super Hornet, is the pilot the one in front or in the back?

[aussiepride2005]

@Subject0ne Front.

[Subject0ne]

@aussiepride2005 Thanks

[haraldinho13]

@Superjazzz I honestly would too

[De1acroix]

Stunning

[farizshj]

this is 100 times better than driving a formula 1

[no1butmeau]

hey guys that was awsome could u please upload more vids like that please or even bombing some fucker eheheheh

[spike68803]

Rippers do it better lol

[TheSilentOne50]

That just seems freaking awesome. From what I see, a better all-around fighter than the F-35.

[beroth1]

@TheSilentOne50 Unfortunately, the F-35 is ultimately another F-22 regarding wasted money. Yes, the F-18s are still the kings of the skies for the Navy.

[assmotrone43]

Its funny, All the people who would do anything to get to that position...When actually, If they wern't sitting on there asses dreaming and actually tried to join, they might actually get it. (Im not speaking to those who tried but failed, good on you)

[SomeoneNamedTom]

thaaaattss amazing

[M3aaaqHD]

[M3aaaqHD]

@killerace2014 umad umad umad umad

[GodZiLRAah]

Nice video it was relaxing

[SkipdThisPart]

I can't wait till I leave green side and I hit blue side !!

[thomasmyung]

Flippin awesome! !!!

[peetrickjojo]

it's great to see such footage in really clear quality. can't seem to find another one like this, great job

[xTomcatsForeverVF84x]

I still prefer the F-14, TOMCATS ALL DAY BABY!!!

[plissken83]

@xTomcatsForeverVF84x Yes, Tomcat was the best. But I like Super Hornet too.

[PLAC3StoGO]

Thts the way to do it, get viewers by bringing ur bloggie into an F-18 XD

[ferociousfrankie]

Seriously, the majority of the vids we see are these dudes playing around or showing off.

[raptorman120]

he looks like batman at 1:37

[BLACKHAWK20121974]

EXCELENTE.

[Ninjalectual]

When I was in college I stole a poster from the local Navy recruitment office: it had a picture of the Blue Angels in tight formation, with the caption, "You Can't Do This On Drugs." Then later I learned about "go" and "no-go" pills, and discovered that you can.

[fbxcore]

@Superjazzz the only thing standing in the way of you doing that is yourself. If you have a dream, pursue it.

[liberateyourheel]

@fbxcore And colorblindness, in my case.

[Timdog032]

Roger. I have the ball.

[drgigolo]

What an awesome job that must be.

[CasanovaKeith]

need more Kenny Loggins

[TripleZ89]

Congratulations Airboyd, this vid has been featured on my other favorite blog: Jalopnik! :D

[35kwilson]

Negative Ghostrider the pattern in full.

[stobobros]

Now do a video showing the pilot sitting in the cockpit in level flight for 14 hours straight so people have a real feel for what being a fighter pilot is all about.

[jrschuler]

I feel the need...THE NEED FOR SPEED!

[bluebmwguy1]

Thanks for removing it from Jalopnik..Jackass!!

[TheBigToeDrZAUS]

That is so cool. What type of camera did you use to film with?

[JohnLeePedimore]

I wonder how much tobacco you have to chew to get the call sign "DIP".

[MierDv]

The landing is hard, the landing at night is worse. There was a doc that followed a pilot's vitals and it was pretty even while doing his runs through hostile airspace until he got to the carrier to land and they shot up. That's why they're called Naval Aviators they're better that pilots.

[fidgetingfinch]

@Superjazzz Does that include eating your own head?

[svtcobra32v]

I WANT SOME BUTTS!

[salleens7]

I admit i'm not sure if I'd have the balls for a carrier landing

[andrewschenk]

"Tower this is Ghost Rider requesting fly by"

[adrienlac]

sublime



[metalbuster100]

i hope that 3-5 years from now ill be on a carrier piloting a F/A 18

[finfinqx56]

[Fighterpilot1011]

[drope134]

[spacedog2002]

[hva1967]

[recuerdo7]

[TheEpiphoneSG]

at what speed do these planes land on the aircraft carrier?

[squiddie96]

@TheEpiphoneSG i believe its around 150 mph...

[CTJoyce]

@TheEpiphoneSG Endspeed for a Rhino cat shot is about 150kts. Approach speed is about 140kts

[rm688]

top gun 2!

[lucianmop]

@Superjazzz join the navy if u r from th usa, and study.. is tht simple. i was in th navy, but the naval aviation from this country sucks, and its not worth th effort unfurtunately.

[5835421]

great video

[aznhkmafia]

[spenderofthrones]

[KillerWhaleSFl]

does air to air combat even exist anymore?

[iBuGGyLiFe1]

cool vid

[shadowblade145]

The fuck is up with that helmet?

[kirkjamestkirk]

@shadowblade145 It's the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System : it incorporates a visor-projected Head-Up Display (HUD) to cue weapons and sensors to the target. it allows the pilot to

simply look at a target to shoot
