2:38 wath is that for a Radioactivty sign? that from the Growler

[resqjason2]

@MsKKaDe its a caution for radiation because of the radar thats located in the nose of the plane. just a reminder to not stand directly infront of the thing if you ever want to have children someday

Reminds me of my days aboard the USS Independence CVA62 (when she was a CVA - not CV) Although I was ships company and a "Snipe" I can still recall the roar and exhaust noise from the A4D's being launched off the flight deck at my machinery space far below on the 3rd deck in O2N2 where we produced breathing oxygen and nitrogen.

[skat0r]

crazy how fast they take off and land

[CopsAndCrashes]

SWEET

[TheArfdog]

Thank God for the US government making these machines possible.

@TheArfdog

Uhhhh: First Aircraft was invented by American inventors. Not the US Government. First FULLY DESIGNED Aircraft Carrier was invented by the Japanese in the 1920's. First concept of taking off a ship at sea was written by a Frenchman. First landing and take off from ships at sea was US Government. So you got that there. First inventors of the currently used "Angled flight deck" was made by the BRITISH. 

[TheArfdog]

@Rac665 Didn't claim they were invented by the US government. But to build multiple ships costing billions of dollars with zero return on investment is not possible by a private entity and very few countries.

Funding of such a ship is only possible because of a powerful central government. Lucky for us, this is the least corrupt, most efficient central govt in the world, with great political stability to make production of military hardware of this magnitude possible. But thanks for the history

@Rac665

u huh... nice history lesson.. another tidbit... first airstrike against Mohamar Quadaffy in Libya was USS Independence 44 years ago; thats how long this "nut" has been around. We shot down eight of his French built Mirage fighters, a small story tucked away in the back pages of the NY Times then.

[Rac665]

@TheArfdog

Oh and lastly, the first Air strike conducted by a ship at sea was by the Japanese, not in Pearl Harbour, but in World War 1 against German targets in the Pacific. But that was before they invented the Aircraft Carrier.

So remember, the first take off and landing of ANY ship by aircraft was done by Americans. the first ship designed SOLELY for aircraft "the Aircraft Carrier" was created by the Japanese in the 20's.

[drummerboy5192]

what plane at 0:34 - 0:47, and then a 0:56 ?

[QuincyGD4456]

@drummerboy5192 Thats the S-3 Viking

[1h2r]

Hey...a few days ago i saw a flight of SuperHornet F/A18E's flying over west Philadelphia....i think they were land based fighters...they were so loud!!!....esp. when they went by past...but what im wondering is can they fly that low?

[polecat987]

@1h2r yes they can fly very low as long as visibility allows but over civilian areas in the US I think there's some regulation for that, in other words if you report the incident they will be punished

[1h2r]

@polecat987 Hey thanks....i wldnt wanna get them in trouble...It was cool!...that was the 1st time ive even saw any fighter with my eyes other than on t.v(and it was a F/A i liked!)....i even saw a Chinook once

[polecat987]

@1h2r i saw the same thing when i was a kid tw0 f-18 doing the same thing but i got scared to hell an ran to my mom crying but now I love them

[dallasdirk42]

if you listen to this play shinedown second chance. it s a great combo matches perfectly.

[ferociousfrankie]

Is the carrier's head wind necessary for take-off?

[tannagra]

@ferociousfrankie

It's probably a safety factor, in the same way that land based runways usually use the direction thats the most into the wind for takeoffs and landings.

[eqspec76]

I was on that ship from 95-99.

[culturehorse]

Whats the aircraft at 2:41 anyone know? thx.. these guys hv our backs.. awesome really..

[iPMRMakaveli]

[mandolinplayer13]

why do they take off with their air breaks on?

[DjLegoLas1]

@mandolinplayer13 u mean flaps???

[mandolinplayer13]

@DjLegoLas1 i would have said flaps if meant it.

the f18 takes off with its speedbrakes deployed, the rudders pointing inward.

[shadowblade145]

@mandolinplayer13 Those are it's flaps. Though the tail rudders do point inward when speed brakes are deployed, they are also used for extra lift during takeoff. They are part of the flaps basically.

[bowlingwithzombies]

@shadowblade145 due to the engines pushing forward below, and the flaps creating drag, therefore allowing a much faster take off

[shadowblade145]

@bowlingwithzombies Ah yes what he said.

[WA5CVI]

@mandolinplayer13 extra lift , more wing surface...
