Voice overs are phenomenal! Keep it up!!!

Nice video thanks

Thanks Gonky for the ride along.

Did you happen to fly over eastern NC yesterday? 11/25/24

Great Flying!! Happy Thanksgiving to you Gonky and family

When I was deployed in the Flight Surgeon’s Office aboard CVN 71 during OIF (01 Sep 2005 to 11 Mar 2006), I would go up to Vultures Row after a duty day and watch Night Ops. It was cool to watch the planes go out fully armed and come back empty.

I used to have students do unusual attitude recovery at night over featureless dark terrain. No opportunity to cheat. It was really an eye-opener for them.

🇲🇾 Awesome short video.

Wow. That cruise ship was definitely disorienting. You don't get alot of night videos so seeing this is amazing Gonky!!! Thanks

Nice Hornet footage! My flight instructor once told me a phrase when flying at night "red on your right, look out tonight".

Awesome video Gonky

Nice.💪

Nice! more Hornet videos from Gronky working with the Small country!

DCS really doesn't do the sound when the Afterburner kicks in any justice. When are you getting a gaming rig and joining us in DCS on the regular @Gonky?

What's better than a serene night flying video in a monday morning? Thank you gonky!

Great video! Love the after burner shot. Just awesome. Thank you for sharing sir.

Short on skill, he says 🙄😂

Tremendous video. Thank you!!🇺🇸🍀🇺🇸

That is unbelievably fast! Good vid Gonky keep up the good work.

I bet it’s scary when you can’t see the horizon in IMC conditions and only using your instruments

Fuck yea, I love this kinda content.

Knew it was Eglin as soon as you popped out. Was this recent? I don't recall any 38 transients coming through last week. That is unless you're flying the F-5's here

Thanks for putting this up! Whenever you want to come tear up the Black Hills, we’re ready for you! Thanks for everything.

I think Mike Tyson was in the Flanker. 😂

Was a pharmacist in Bellevue, NE across the street from Offutt AFB. The T--38 was the jet that inspired me to become a pilot. Learned to fly at the Aero Club there in a Piper Tomahawk. Forty years later I'm flying my Bonanza and Super Cub and having tons of fun. Not a T-38, but .... Keep the videos coming, love your channel.

Smokey engines usually means you aren't burning fuel efficiently... Wonder why they never bothered improving the engines on the MiG-29. Probably could have gotten better fuel efficiency and removed the "look at me!" smoke trail. Then again this is Russia we're talking about, so they probably just couldn't do it even if they wanted to. Mikoyan really fell off towards the end of the Soviet era. Now Sukhoi is running the show with their Su-35 that is really just the Su-27SM from the 90s that no one wanted to buy. 20 years later just change the number and all of a sudden everyone is interested again!

You have a flight director in the T-38 though......right? You don't trust the instruments...wha, wha.....what?!

Sorry, but I’m behind the times with following you, Gonky. I thought you were a Navy pilot. If you are, why do you (or used to fly) an AF plane?

Living in Houston, I frequently hear and see NASA's Talons zooming overhead, and it often reminds me of being much, much younger and stopping near Randolph Aux to watch the training flights.

155kt plus one kt for each 100 pounds of gas.

This year I finally got to see an actual RNAV approach. It’s quite dramatic when you break out and the runway is right where it is supposed to be. I wish I’d thought of videoing it.

Awesome planes, T-38, F-4 Phantom!

Both are awesome 😊

Man, I would have cried for days after my fini-flight. I had to give up GA flying after three years and 208 hours in 1977, but I'm still flying R/C models.. 👍

With the wings folded, the center of pressure in the yaw axis would be moved way forward, most likely making the plane unstable in the yaw axis. Plus, that yaw center of pressure would be above the plane's CG. However, it would be more stable in the pitch axis. Losing half of a wing panel probably wouldn't be as bad as having the wings folded. You just need to keep good side from generating more lift than the damaged side. And if you can't - Eject! Eject! Eject!

You're right, his English is really good. Like shockingly good. Better than a lot of native speakers in the states.

The universe is such a strange place... Ever since I was a young young kid 146 has been "my number".. I use it for everything(except passwords) Not to mention that in 2007 I was knees deep in OEF.

Good stuff

You made a new RUclips channel?...

Needles approach. 👍

I just subscribed because you flew into Eglin. My Mom is from Crestview and my Dad was stationed at Eglin. Lot's of memories from there! Thx for the video!

Going for that f-18 handle at 06:48 i see

Great video, Gonky. QQ: At 6:48 did your right hand reach up to grab the hand-hold that's on the F-18? 🙂

I’ll ride back seat as RIO !! For the ride along!,

Loving this >!!! Great job

Are you doing the Tacan approach?

The Flanker is my favorite modern Eastern jet. One of the most beautiful designs aviation has ever seen, it’s like watching a swan or Blue Herron with combat capabilities.

Awesome. I flew the A-model as a student in 1992. At that time, we had supreme confidence in the instrumentation, and we regularly flew dual in some low weather, so I hate to hear that things went downhill. As a funny aside, on our solo out-n-back (Reese to Tinker), we were thoroughly briefed to not do any actual instrument flying. Well, I was near the end of the string and, 15 minutes out, Tinker goes IFR and they begin advertising the ILS. I tell the controller I would like to maintain VMC and he clears me to go looking for a spot to descend. I spend a few minutes ripping around the north side of Ok City at 300 knots, looking for a way down in order to not bust the ROE. It was fruitless and I began accepting vectors to the approach; it looked an awful lot like your video. Training kicked in and it worked out fine. Once on the ground, we all winked and shrugged with each other. The IPs (one in the #1 jet, and one in the caboose) just said, "Good job everyone" and nothing else. Thanks for reminding me of that formative day.

It sure grumbles when pulling G's in the break and the turn to downwind. Very cool..

Very nice! I used to watch T-38's all day, every day for 3 years in the early 70's. Thanks..
