  • It is the best clip for this soundtrack :D

  • This is just a cool video!

  • Oh look, another video added to my favorites.

  • I watch this video everyday to remind me what im gonna be doing and why i want to do it, so i can study harder in school

  • @joemundel I wish I would have thought of that! But im off to USMC bootcamp tomorrow! Plans a little delayed but no big deal.

  • @joemundel cool....i do the same thing

  • a year more n ill be in there :D

  • VFA-192 The Goons! They fly klunkers. HA HA

  • this should be the offical music video

  • Does anyone else watching things like this sometimes and just think "Thats a person... in the sky... in a hunk of metal... traveling at hundreds of miles an hour... wow"?

  • best job in the world...

  • anyone get the significance of the color his flight suit if not here a hint angels

  • @swordandsnipe I noticed that too. I'm thinking this is a Blue Angel that simply needed to stay carrier-qualified or something.

  • How do you make a video like this? Upload the video and add the music? I want to see a video like this with the music from Ra "Sky". That would be perfect.

  • Whoever you are in this video.

    Fuck you

    You lucky bastard.

  • I would give my left nut to do his job for free.

  • Nah toddstotman... trick of light this guy is definitely a GOLDEN DRAGON USN Sea of Japan CVN-192

  • The ever watchful eye of our men and women in the armed forces. Our hats are off for you!

  • 22 communists watched this.

  • I really want to slap the 22 people who voted negative to this.

    Great Youtubing guys I would have loved to do that!

  • i can do that

  • so.... how do you get back under the clouds with these serious G's?

  • ADRENALINA PURA , GO ! GO ! GO !!!!!!

  • I think he's a Blue Angel.  Navy pilots don't wear blue jumpsuits, and yellow scarves. Even Blue Angels need to stay deck-qualified :D

  • @rtrThanos It's a Canadian pilot

  • @PompousBreadRolls Nope, its not.

  • @Arciaga Prove it son

  • @PompousBreadRolls The fact that the Royal Canadian Navy does not own any aircraft carriers is one big thing.

    Not only that but if you look at the wing, you can see that there is no subdued Canadian Flag Stamp.

    The uniform that the pilot is wearing is the Blue Angels uniform with the Navy Blue flight suit and the yellow t-shirt underneath. There is no Canadian flying group with those colours.

  • @PompousBreadRolls now I can say the same to you. Prove it that it is Canadian.

  • @Arciaga Flipping my own question because you can't. I win.

  • @PompousBreadRolls Huh? Did you even read my comment before "..now i can say..." before you posted that?

  • @Arciaga lol im trolling you hard, clearly an american air craft carrier.......

  • He looked around 1:25 :D

  • I'm so jealous. I've been dying my life to be a pilot of any kind, let alone a fighter pilot.

  • This is so kickass!

  • Frightening boy toys.

  • the music sucks drowns out the experiences. where is the sound from the footage. everyone wants to make a stupid montage!

  • @ebowsys read the title.. whole point is to listen to the song and watch the f-18 footage.. plus the sound isnt worth it if the camera used probably has terrible sound.. then youll groan and moan about the sound!

    PROBLEM SOLVED!

  • This, along with the original poster's video of the same thing is what got me into aviation and naval aviation. 3-4 years later, im in flight school, and applying for the U.S Naval Academy. That'l be me one day.

  • But at 0:20 look at the wing and the elevators. I agree both his flight suit and the tail are blue, but the tail might be squadron markings and I don't know bout the flight suit.

  • @toddstotman Yeah I see...thats the guy with the black helmet. Maybe... The guy with the white helmet is definitely part of the Golden Dragon team. USS Hornet CVN-192 based in Sea of Japan.

  • Is it just me or is this guy part of the Blue Angels? At 0:20 you can see his blue and yellow suit clearly. Not to mention the yellow colour on the tail.

  • Ахуенное видео ахуенная музыка.

  • This man gets paid to do this! i would do it for no money!

  • That is just Magic, that is! Perfect. I want some more of that!

  • Yeah I thought the first couple shots when you can see the carrier in the background.. priceless

  • You people who think he dropped a bomb need to grow the fuck up. Do you think this pilot would take a personal video of himself on an actual bombing mission that may be HIGHLY CLASSIFIED and videotape himself dropping bombs and THEN posting it on youtube? HAHAHA

  • Reasons why i should never fly and F-18 while listening to this song:

    1. Shoot the shit out of things im not aloud to

    2. Thats about it....

  • @icebreakerclanleader very nice observation!!!! i just noticed that

  • does anyone know the name of that carrier? or its CVN?

  • Alright Youtube, when I type in 'magic carpet ride', I would like to see this video, period.

  • Notice at 1:17 he fires a missile!

  • @LOLiverify hahah actually he's just dropping tanks. But its still kick ass getting to do that.

  • Absolutely my favorite video on youtube - everything about it. It's the featured video on my channel. The sync of the music is perfect.

    My thanks to the pilot!

  • wow plz commment on how fun or scary it was

  • vfa 192 golden dragons out of naf atsugi japan before they switched to super hornets

  • HICK HICK HICK.... ......... .......

  • @Blazzer100 EXACTLY LOL!

  • That guy gets paid to do that job! i would do it for free!

  • @cpdp999 Hell, I'd pay to do it!

  • @cpdp999 I would pay to do it !! :D

  • @cpdp999 i would rather get payed, the landing feels pretty much like a car crash just without the injurys....most of the time

  • @cpdp999 I would PAY to do it.

  • @cpdp999 Let's not give them any ideas here haha

  • @cpdp999 I bet when the deck is risng up and down 25 feet in a howling gale...50 feet in all.. with 500m visibility...oh I bet you would...

  • @dergrossen err yeah i would...

  • @cpdp999 how old are ya?

  • @dergrossen Old enough mate

  • @cpdp999 Ok....on this site check out F/A-18 Born to Be Wild as loaded by TJDOZIER. There is an ad there from the RAF in the UK. Now the airforce guys are skilled but Navy pilots are, in my opinion, more experienced. If you can't make the pilot grade first time don't worry. Just join and they will train you.

  • Lucky Bastard!

  • That is so cool!!! I'd do a little dance in my cockpit every time I landed on an aircraft carrier too!

  • You're both wrong. First off, you don't "drop a rocket." And second, if that was a fuel bag or "fuel cell" then it would be much much bigger and it would be on the inner pylon of the wing, not the outer one. My guess is that it was a small dummy bomb for training purposes. Have a nice day! :)

  • @pbplaya5 That actually looked like a full-sized Mk82 bomb... Still probably for training though.

  • at 1:18 he dropped a rocket

  • @serge421UA That was actually an empty fuel cell :)

  • @serge421UA its actually a bomb... get it right lol

  • ---

  • what a dream job, i hope im lucky to join the air-force.

  • Andrew, US AIR FORCE CAPTAIN watch out for the clouds .dude ... Magic carpet ride!

  • Man, this was a love letter to hornet fans - especially when he did a 360 loop and skimmed the cloud cover - and then skated around it like he was in the Ice Capades. That was some fine airmanship, and I'm glad the camera was there for it.

  • Anyone know of any good videos like this where the camera is facing forward?

  • magic carpet bombing!

  • beautiful stuff love this its awesome

  • think its time to hop on flight sim.... LIKE

  • Comment removed

  • giggity

  • syncing with jet catapult and song is great, thumbs up, and a great song

  • Thanks to the pilot for giving us such a pleasant view! Oorah and much love to all past and present serving and to those who've made the ultimate sacrifice to save even the sorry fucks of our kickass nation! U.S.A.

  • AWESOME!

    And the music matches 100%!

    I looked around .... xD!

  • he drops a bomb at 1:19. Now I don't know what to feel about this video.

  • if you look at his face when he gets catapulted, it looks like he's straining to take a crap. When his airplane lifts off the ship, he looks like he released it and is sooo satisfied.

  • niceee 8)

  • If YouTube has a Hall of Fame, this video should be in the first class. Go, man, go!

  • awesome...

  • Haha Look at the LOVE on his face. Lucky bastard.

  • i saw this vid months and months ago and have been looking for it a lot. Crazy how a youtube vid can make you so happy :D It's such a great vid. You tube 4ever.

  • absoluter Hammer für einen Oldie wie mich

  • wow sexy

  • Awesome Vid... dwhiteheadd that is not a drop tank it is am Mk 82-500lb bomb, most likely doing some bombing practice on a splash target towed behind the boat or a local air weapons range...

    Great music, great video, thanks Grouchymedia.

  • thanks for post this video again... ;-)

    Cheers from brazil!

  • That thing is FAAAAAAST!

  • Where do you guys get your ideas from? Some of these things are really amazing. How much do you think external fuel tanks cost? They are expensive as hell and they do not just drop them for the hell of it. Come on.. Get Real. Also. Blue flight suits are not only for the Blue Angels. Pilots wear Blue, Green, Tan.. Whatever fits them.

  • thumbs up if you hate the taliban

  • Best video on Youtube.

  • This is pure awesome!

  • 1:16 did he juat drop a fucking BOMB?

  • @Adammartini think it was an external fuel tank?

  • @SeanFortyTwo Thats too small to be an external tank. It is probably a dummy bomb used for training.

  • awesome love it...

  • He's clearly enjoying it . . . damn I'm jealous :)

  • wats the song

  • @THEFEZ10 magic carpet ride

  • awesome my son loves it

  • is this all one flight and did they fire any missiles if it was one flight because at the cross-over at 1:00 the missile is missing but the pylon is still there?

  • @dbell91 learn to grammar.

  • @SeanFortyTwo to be honest m8 im not really bothered about my grammar.. i use it wen i really need to but not on shity comment sections on youtube to please little pricks like u so mind ur own and fuk off..

  • @dbell91 I'm sorry, there were too many grammatical error's in this message for me to comprehend.

  • Simply awesome! For all those who fly in the armed forces, keep flying and be safe!

  • That's totaly awsome. It seems so cool.

  • saved my bacon many times......keep doing ur sweet job....the gunny

  • I love this video! I worked for an airline, and got to fly in the cockpit on test runs...I sure would have liked to be in an F-18...thx 4 the video

  • must be the best fucking job on this world :D

  • It's CLEARLY a bomb. Specifically, it's an Mk.82.

    1) DESIGN- F18 drop tanks do not have fins on the back of them. Pausing this video, you can see fins on the "object."

    2)SIZE- F18 drop tanks are much longer than the pylon. The front and rear of the tank extend well beyond the pylon. The "object" in this video is only as long as the pylon.

    3) PYLON POSITION-Only pylons 3, 5 (centerline), and 7 can wet-feed fuel. The "object" is on the outer pylon, which is 2 or 8. Wingtips are 1 and 9.

  • the timing that the music comes in is SO FUCKING PERFECT.

  • @Caru2 called editing buddy

  • xxdc69xx you're right!! I saw that!! hahaha cool!

  • hey drops a bomb at 1:18

  • he drops a bomb at 1:18

  • maybe is a fuel tank...

  • Looked like a fuel tank to me.

  • NAME OF TEH SONG!PLZ

  • thx ;D

  • semper fucking fi

  • Still a kick-ass video after all this time...

  • i hope my eyes are good enough to fly cf 18s

  • Do you mind if i dance with you?

  • I wish I could listen to this music with out thinking of Team America.

  • u can see other f-18s in the ending bits of the vid.

  • He's wearing a blue suit and a yellow scarf ( 0:17 ). I think this is a Blue Angel (or Ex-) who went for a joyride after qualifying, which is why we see a bomb dropped at 1:17 . Even the Blue Angels gotta stay current on certifications :D Could be wrong I 'spose.

  • The Hornet is the official aircraft for the Angles...

  • @Chark711

    I'm not talking about his plane. I'm talking about his uniform. I'm not aware of another unit that wears the blue and yellow like the Angels. But I'm not too familiar with Naval units. The Blue Angels are still combat pilots and they must stay current with training and certifications. I think this is a Blue Angel who is qualifying, then going for a joyride.

  • Comment removed

  • this is how they train, they go in a circle take off go around and land its pretty cool

  • whats the song?

  • @Sierra4Delta Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf

  • @alpa614 thanx

  • Just Perfect, it has been long since i watch a good vid in youtube

  • Comment removed

  • this is an amazing video!! great work!!

  • Oh wait forgot to say Until the F/A-35, then it gets G/R duty...If the F-35 F/A actually works. Guess we have to attack Iran to affirm that.

  • I thought the FABRG-18 could do everything? ;)

  • at 1:18 i just realized he released a bomb.

  • Sorry for spam.

  • Name of the song please? :D

  • @T0rish Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride

  • except for killing people....fighter pilots are lucky bastards!! =)

  • Szar meló lehet...

  • AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • great vid

  • LUCKY AMERICAN!!! :D

  • @steinb85 NO HE ISNT!! HES RIDING IN AN F-18!!! NO BODY LIKES F-18S!!!!! He would have been really lucky if it were the F-14!!! WE ALL WANT THE TOMCAT BACK!!! HORNETS BY MANDATE, TOMCATS BY CHOICE!

  • F-18's do their job perfectly, F-14 i'm sad to say it but we don't need it anymore and it's expensive to maintain it's like having a 900hp car but you don't get to use all it's power because there's no one to race anymore so it's a complete money pit if you ask me.

  • @BruteCommando but the f-14 was bulit for pure air superiority. not for bombing. the f-18 will NEVER win in a dogfight because of its slow speed and range.

  • And air superiority against what and who ?? Those days are gone, F14 is Mach 2.5 capable but the Hornet is capable of 1.8 and that is not slow right now the important thing is to be multi-purpose bombing, air to air, reconassaince and the F/A 18 fulfills it all unlike the F-14 that's just pure air to air can't bomb terrorist camps with air to air missles now can we ??

  • @BruteCommando Sikorsky is one stupid f**k

  • LOL and yeah SuperHornet rules indeed

  • @BruteCommando Yeah. I don't even get why people think that the F-14 is the best fighter. They even think its better than the F-15.

  • Two words for you TOP GUN lol

    Don't get me wrong i love the F-14 but it's time is over it's really not needed anymore it has an exceptional radar but the Super Hornet nowadays is almost as capable and cheaper to maintain and smaller so you can stuff more Hornets in a carrier compared to the F14.

  • @BruteCommando Well, The F/A-18F's were purposely to replace the F-14D. The F/A-18E was to be equal to the F-15C as an Air Superiority Fighter/Bomber,

  • The f-18 and the f-14 tomcat or bombcat rock ass both, they are both awesome!

  • @BruteCommando and what the heck do you mean cant bomb??? Its the F-14 Bombcat. It could carry retarded bombs. which are better than whever the f-18 has. im telling you mach 1.8 is slow. really slow. andthe f-18 is replacing everything! The A-6, the A-7, the S-3, The EA-6B Prowler, and whats going to be next?? The E-2C????

  • It's what you said right ?? And i quote you "the F14 was made for pure superiority and not for bombing" and i'm responding to what you said, i know there's a Bombcat but it's been MODIFIED to bomb it hasn't been designed to carry bombs in the first place.A6 and A7 are very old airframes to start with and the F-18 can't replace the S-3 and Prowler don't be so dumb an F-18 can't refuel other jets and provide jamming right ? NO IT CAN'T and Mach 1.8 slow ?? What a dumbass really.

  • The f-18 and the f-14 tomcat or bombcat rock ass both, they are both awesome!
