EA-6B Prowler on VR-1355

This video is from the front cockpit of an EA-6B Prowler on the first half of the VR-1355 low-level in Western Washington. We're flying 500 feet above the ground at an average speed of 420 kts. It was filmed in March of 2010 using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3.

Do you know if the navy will be accepting new pilots in 2012, 2013? I'm still in college and I just wanted to know.

@Bomyster3000 The Navy is always looking for more pilots. I went through OCS after college. If you don't get selected the first time just keep applying. Also, don't let any recruiter talk you into putting SWO, Supply Officer, etc on your application. You can leave your 2nd and 3rd choice blank if all you want to do is be a pilot. Naval Aviation is NOTHING like the rest of the Navy (i.e. it's a lot better.)

This is probably the best cockpit filmed flight sequence I have seen to date, no joke!

The definition and the landscape are just amazing, not to mention the flying.

Just out of interest, what is the Prowlers's VMO/MMO?

[usnhobbz]

@Janspeed69 It's mainly limited to 0.86 Mach or 550 KIAS due to equipment on the aircraft. If that's removed, it's only limited by how fast you can get her going. :-)

Are you still flying with the navy?

[usnhobbz]

@Helicopterpilot16 I am. I've been pretty bad at responding to comments due to YouTube being blocked while on deployment.

One of the best Cockpit view on Youtube no question. I'm surprised the bird still sorta sounds like a Hoover vacuum inside. What are you gong to do when you upgrade to Growlers? Strap the Camera on the your helmet?
