Vincent "Jell-O" Aiello, the host of The Fighter Pilot Podcast, and Kevin "Hozer" Miller, the author of the Raven One series, join Ward at HOOK '21 in Reno to recount the high points of their aircraft carrier deployments together and go into detail about their post-Navy efforts, including their involvement in the world of Digital Combat Simulator (DCS).

"I saw the screws" - Can't imagine that level of stress. Definitely a FML moment.
You know, it's a great time to be alive if you have an interest in military aviation. Not only are we getting a steady stream of fresh content from SMEs via platforms like RUclips, but people like Jell-O, Mooch, Bio, Hoser and others are using their real world expertise to enrich our experiences with platforms like DCS. It kind of feels like we're in the midst of a flight simulation renaissance.
Ward if I buy the f14 in dcs will you be my rio? Lol
Amen. It’s incredible.
Totally agree with you and well said. I think anyone that's been around flight simulation or combat flight simulation for many years will also agree with what you have said. It really is a golden age and a privilege to able to listen to these gentlemen speak about something we love so much and then be involved in it's development is mind blowing.
Perfectly stated. DCS makes a lot of dreams come true.
Reminds me of what I said, as a civilian, after working a firefighter shift with a friend of mine and the final call of the night was an active fire: "They have to go in, but they don't have to come out." God bless all of you guys. Honor the memories of my high school friends who gave it all in Vietnam.
Thx "Hozer" for saving Teacher Ward's life. Thx all of you to give us great podcasts and inside of worlds greatest aviation❤ USN❤
Thanks to all three of you! Ward, your channel is highly entertaining and informative because of the content, but more than that, it's the respectful and realistic way you describe the detail. Excellent, first-class work.
Thanks, Mike.
"I saw the SCREWS?!" Good heavens!
Seen 'em myself, off Norway on a previous deployment.
@@kevinmiller5780 from a turd shirts perspective you gents take on a certain glow + a thousand yard stare after such sightings.
@Berry Tree Indeed...at one point during all that storminess, a wave slammed into the side of the IKE with enough force to make it feel like someone kicked the back of the chair I was sitting in!
@@donaldtireman those that brave north Atlantic sailing can sail anywhere on the globe. That end of the globe can go from 0 to epic
b!tch in the blink of an eye.
My hats off to the Nords. Them dudes were lunatics.
@Berry Tree That was in 1980, our only port of call during that deployment. The ship left in April, didn't return until December, some 250 days at sea
BLESS ALL OF YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
yes this old widow cares!!
Its so satisfying to see you guys having these brilliant 2nd careers. ROCK ON!
Thanks Mooch for your kind words and looking forward to working with you & bringing more exciting content to DCS. This is going to be fun :)
Fun, aye! Let’s do it!
I discovered your channel around the same time I found Jellos podcast. Two home runs!
and a slam dunk!
As a 2nd seater on the duty tanker (always the last to come aboard) I only recall those moments when a BINGO was not an option, and we had a full bag of gas 36K lbs. and CCA said dirty up contact tower on - - - . It takes more than 45 minutes to dump 30K pounds to get to landing weight. It never failed to happen and then when we got aboard, in the ready room waiting for the LSO to debrief us CAG would call on the squak box reminding us to make early preparation so not to delay the last recovery of the day......Everything considered I miss those days and my shipmates the best times of my life.
Fun to hear these stories on couches my family and I have shared on so many times at The Nugget. Great Americans.
Ward Carroll, you are a legend mate! I could listen to you blokes for hours, from a crusty old RAAF member! Keep the content coming champ, cheers 👍😎
Thank you, Steve!
Great stories and knowledges from three of you guys. Thank you for the service and sharing the experiences.
WARD(BRAVO ZULU) THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE HUMAN SIDE OF AIR OPS.AS PAST CAG 8 CHIEF IT BROUGHT BACK
MEMORIES OF OUR MARINE SQUADRON, ONE OF THE FIRSTS 1975, YOU AND YOUR YOUR GUEST MADE A FEW YOUNG
PERSONS WANT TO FLY IN THE NEW NAVY JETS. AS A PAST NAVY RECRUITER TEN YEARS (TWO TOURS) YOUR SHOW
IS A GREAT ASSET TO THE NAVY, THE FREEDOM THAT WE ENJOY IN AMERICA IS BECAUSE MEN LIKE YOU. FLYING MISSIONS THAT WERE AT THE POINT OF THE SPEAR, INSURING THE FREE WORLD IS STILL FREE. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE SEMPER-FI
Great to see all three of you together! Especially good to see you, Kevin, again. CD-19 got me "retired" from the museum, but I still wish I could have gotten these stories on tape, for history! Thanks for the entertainment!
Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed!
Not getting to extract all of the stories from my Father who was on the USS Char submarine in the Pacific after Pearl Harbor had been attacked I wish now that I would’ve sat down with my Dad and had him tell me as many stories as he could about his experiences in the sub back in 1943, 1944 and 1945! Thank you guys for your service and most of all thank you for cementing your legacy and experiences it is SO IMPORTANT to this country’s History and you three had a Prolific part in our Story! Thank you three so much for your service to this country!
Ward, thanks for sitting down and making this one. Lots of good intel on both DCS and Top Gun plus insights into future products. Awesome!! 👍
Love your channel, sir! Love both your content and also the way you deliver it. Keep up the great work, sir!
Thanks, Mike D! Appreciate the support!
Hope i don´t repeat myself too many times but it´s from the heart... Thank you so much for you service and for everything you´re doing for the public and DCS. As an enthusiast since i was born (í´m 45) listening to your channel and from Jell-O is like a dream come true. Never thought some decades later i will be listening real naval aviators talking about what i love most. And carrier ops in DCS with VR is the closer i can, and ever be, to my childhood dream and you complete it. I wish you and your families all the best in life, be safe. Best regards from Lisbon, Portugal (hope see you someday in my beautiful country).
Thanks for being here, Bruno!
It would be a treat to see you on DCS in the RIO seat Ward. Another great video, Can’t wait for the next!
You guys remind me of my dad visiting NAS JAX for reunions with his squadron. Thank you all for your service. I appreciated being an American.
Like I said, the best interviews. Thanks again, Ward. Take care, fly right.
I was on USS America during 89 deployment and thru work-ups in 90 for Desert Shield, then finished with Desert Storm. Left America from Red Sea after cease fire.
I have worked for the Air Force for the past 26 years as a contract specialist for Comm/Nav systems.
I am so glad to HEAR naval “lingo” again.
Love both of ur podcast, RUclips videos as well as CW Lemoine’s.
I remember those days…..I was on board TR for Desert Storm.
Professional military experience in DCS and themed around available novels by the gentlemen that know better than any one else. Tremendous. Thanks for this, Mooch. I always enjoy hearing the tales whenever folks like you get together. Thanks to you all for sharing.
I do believe I have some books to buy, starting with the Punk's War and the Raven trilogies.
I've been considering DCS for a while now while I'm running an arcade/sim out of CIS on a custom gaming rig. I think you guys just pushed me off the ledge and I do believe I'm happy about it to say the least.
Cheers from Canada.
You won't regret the leap to a study level sim! DCS has its quirks, but it's a great sim with plenty of diversity in the community. The multiplayer community is a smorgasbord of personalities, good and bad. If you need help, seek out the 107th Through the Inferno servers and their discord. Very helpful group (full disclosure, I'm a member of the 107th) with a very active and large community in the PvE (fighting AI) arena.
And if you decide to jump into the Tomcat, I'd be happy to give you a and help out! :)
Great one, seeing You guys at the same table at Hook 21 talking Twin Towers, carrier ops, Top Gun Maverick and DCS - Raven One campaign is precious. Big thanks to Mooch and big hello to Jell-O and Hoser. Keep it up guys. Hope to meet You guys in person someday so wear those masks as long as needed. We'll get thru this someday.
Just saying thanks for mentioning Marine Naval Aviators (my dad was VMFA-212 in the mid 80s). He just wanted to fly, USAF said they didn't need fighter pilots, Navy said you'll be on the boat, Marines said maybe on the boat. (He's from CO, no ocean). Getting ship qual and into fighters gave him gray hairs, hence "Pappy" once into the fleet.
Hey Mooch, thank's to all of you from sweden for all the great content! Stumbled onto your West 2014 JSF-roundtable years ago, and then all of a sudden was happy to recognize you in your channel some time ago. Keep it up!👍
Thanks, Thomas. Way to connect the dots! 😉
While at DMAFB, Tucson, Az we would drive in our '67 Dodge six pack down beside the end of the runway to watch the F4-C grab the cable across the runway. Each end of the cable was attached to a length of ship anchor chain of 3 foot plus long links beside the runway in the direction of the planes' travel. The poor pilot's and gib's heads would viciously sling forward as the plane was jerked to a halt. We would give them a very enthusiastic thumbs-up with big grins for a successful trap which they would return with happy smiles of their own. Then a B52 capable tug would tow the cable and chain back into place one side at a time.
Love your videos.
Married on the deck of "Big John", that's awesome!
In the first couple of minutes of watching this, I thought it was going to be boring...but it was far from that. These stories are great to hear. The chronology of it all plays out really well. Thanks.
Just bloody amazing! Rock and roll at its finest! You guys are true heroes and AWESOME role models. THANK YOU!
Awesome video; can't wait to buy the Raven series and the DCS campaigns you guys have worked to create. Keep it up!
Thank you, Ward. You guys are incredibly articulate and great to listen to. Thank you all for your service and giving us an idea of what it must have been like. Have a safe trip home.
After consideration, I've decided that Ward is an asshole. I am sorry to say that. But I have to call it like I see it. He has have some very good content. But he misses the mark on many occasions and simply makes no sense. Perhaps some of you can explain it to me. Regards.
@@roderickcampbell2105 That is a pretty harsh adjective to describe Ward or anyone who is doing their best to tell their story to us. Would you reconsider your words and provide us with a more intelligent criticism, or should I call you an a**hole because you have lousy sentence structure? I’m sure you are a decent person, regardless.
@@Commander-McBragg Hi David. I get your point. Sometimes I am the bigger jerk. I don't like it much but cannot stop myself sometimes. I do respect Ward and his messages. I'll have to go back and check my comment. I do not like poor sentence structure, although I am guilty of it at times certainly. I do not have a problem with critical, constructive comments. Peace. Rod.
@@roderickcampbell2105 Thanks. We all have our moments.
Great episode! What a treat to see some of my favorite aviators from different sources of content in one setting. Fun stuff!
I really enjoy this style of interview/story telling.
We need Mover next. Another writer and fighter pilot.
Mover never served at sea, probably why they less likely to know each other, his is definitely another great channel though
That's awesome DCS is what brought me to your channel and made me buy Raven one
I own a framed black & white photo of USS JFK anchored in Dublin bay from July 1996. Extra cool for me because my grandfather presented JFK with an honorary degree from the National University of Ireland on 28th June 1963. I downloaded a colour photo of that event from the JFK website which has the President, my grandfather and an Airforce officer who I can only assume was the “guy with the football” (underneath his chair). KABOOM! 😎
As a Grunt, we tease all of you Pigeons and Squids. But if we don't have each other we would be pouched!!! Coming from a Canadian Infantryman!!!! Love you guys!!! LOL
Really, really, enjoyed that. Selfishly I hope this gives E.D. some more followers; so they can make B-Dragon's job easier (and therefore all of us other frustrated mission makers).
As a keyboard warrior I really loved Mr. Miller's Raven series too, and how I can 'escape' for about 1 + 30 every now and then, sampling small bites of what it might be like as he describes...
Last night I blasted off in my digital Hornet, in the pre-dawn darkness (the northern Med no less), loaded for bear (enroute to a JTAC), and accidently dropped the gear at 350+ IAS! Doh! I'd messed with the keyboard combo for "[G]oggles" (NVG's - I fixed this later). So, I raised them up but the alarms confirmed something had gone pear-shaped inside. Had to dump gas; hold over the boat, in the weather; cycle the gear; then CASE III to the boat. Wondering if I was going leave a greasy smear when the undercarriage collapsed -- and all this with "Jello" in my ear all the way down! "Fly the ball", "fly the ball", or something like that.
To anyone who's remotely interested in this genre: Raven One is as good as Red Storm Rising, what I consider the gold standard. I'm really picky. The fact he didn't dumb it down is appreciated - the profession doesn't need any artificial ingredients.
What an enjoyable convo. Already an avid follower of Mooch and Jell-O; and nice to see more of Hozer.
I was in VA86 when we transitioned to F/A 18's from the A7E Corsair 2, and became VFA 86 Sidewinders.
Oh yes, our Med/Gulf/NorthATL '91-92 deployment on the IKE; we called the CO "Wild Bill" Cross. Wild, stormy weather to match! AT1, worked on VAST on the IKE and retired in 1997.
Great channel, Ward. Love that you mentioned Rick Beato. You and Rick are two of my favorite channels. Music and military aviation. Doesn't get better. Continued success!
Thank you, Scott!
Glad I watched this- I have received the Raven series and finished Silver Waterfall just started yesterday. Great writer- Thanks for the link up! UPdate: I read three of Hoser's books in 3 days- I'm in trouble on my Honey Do list. Still waiting on Punk 2 and 3 to arrive
Omg! Theres a new raven coming to dcs?! Its by far the best campaign so far an cant wait for next 🤘😝
Thanks dude! And yes it is!
Very cool session. Can't hear enough stories. Even the sad ones.
Another brilliant episode where you are riveted to the very end.
Gotta get a DCS setup mooch!
Speaking of DCS, I think many of us would love an Arrowslinger or even Deathboxers themed F-14. Maybe a few of the missions from the trilogy if its possible to do like a "keep the Iraqis from capturing Einstein" thing or providing air support to Waco and the boys
Right on!
Mooch is CAG in a DCS campaign, worlds collide, cannot wait.
Yes!!!! Three of my favorite entertainers!!!! 👍⚓️😁
Best show ever
Thanks so much.
Thanks, Pam!
Great and wonderful informative video. Thank you.
Great video, I love the fighter pilot podcast. Jello is one cool dude, been listening to his podcast for a long time offshore and when home. Very cool to see all you guys in one video !
Brings back the memory of MY “Hoser”, CDR Joe Satrapa, fighter pilot extraordinaire, may he Rest In Peace. 🙏
Knew him well. RIP.
Three Legends in Naval Aviation 🤠
Awesome video. Like meeting your shipmates. Hope you are enjoying Hook 21. Love the different stories. Jello and Bio have new channel, or new show. “Tomcast”. They will be doing 26 episodes on the F-14 ending with its retirement. Can you do an episode on Tomcat 21? This is a topic I love. Have a good one Mooch.
Sounds like a good one to add to the editorial calendar. Thanks, Christopher!
Sounds cool 😎
thanks for the tip, looks like it will be a great series.
Baltic Dragon’s campaigns for DCS are really good 🙂
Friggin’ fighter pilots. “Remember that time we kicked ass and took names?”
“Which time?”
“Exactly….”
Unreal.
Ha! Thanks, Doug.
Ward, have you got a DCS setup yet? Really looking forward to seeing your reaction of sitting in the back seat (and the front) of the Heat Blur Tomcat, especially if it's with VR!
In work.
@@WardCarroll heatblur has some tomcat pilots and RIOs on staff as SME's, if you want to reach out to them, I am sure they'd appreciate meeting and chatting with ya.
@@snotcycle I’m working with Baltic Dragon. He’s the man.
@@WardCarroll defnitely was excited to hear that in the vid. He's most certainly regarded as the best campaign designer in DCS.
@@WardCarroll cant wait looking forward to it
Super cool great for you all and have fun.
Living breathing history !
I'm looking forward to your DCS contributions!
Hi Ward - I'm a relatively new subscriber, and haven't commented yet but wanted to take a moment to say thank you and compliment you on your great content! I'm slowly catching up by "listening" to your episodes in the background at work.
These story episodes are great, but I especially loved the Ward at War episode and have shared the link with both my former military and civilian colleagues who have been at odds while armchair quarterbacking the recent withdrawal. I thought you had incredible insight from your time embedded in Afghanistan. I also wanted to thank you for the Westpoint Cheating Scandal episode. Your personal story about the "gouges" helped me reconcile some nagging internal conflict surrounding similar experiences at AFOTS some 20 odd years ago. Thank you!
As a guitarist, I look forward to some more guitar content in the future too!
Thanks for watching, Donald!
Great episode Ward, recently just discovered and became real fond of Jell-O’s channel! 3 great guys there! All the best to you’s🤙🏼
Thanks, Jamie.
Great episode. I also just discovered Jello's F14 tomcasts RUclips channel. So cool to have these to watch and listen. Thank you Comander for your service, and to all of yor guests who served.God Bless America!
Cant wait for the DCS Tomcat campaign!!!! Will be absolutely killer from these guys!!👍🤘
Wait so it's going to be a Tomcat campaign? I didn't realize that!
Awesome news and deep intel on the new DCS content, can't wait to see an awesome tomcat campaign come from you guys, plus the new Raven One campaign!
Working on it :)
Absolutely fascinating segment! Ward, you do an incredible job of offering a great deal of diversity from episode to episode - often within any given episode itself - yet there is always a feeling of cohesion, it all holds together well. Thanks for sharing your some of your experiences at HOOK via these episodes for Team Mooch. I dare suggest that this adds new meaning to the term "multitasking" for you!
Best, Ken
Thanks much, Ken.
Jezus Christ...how many G´s has Hoser pulled in his life??? Look at his neck!Amazing bunch of ppl!Thx for your service!. Best Regards from Germany,Tobias
Gotta love Jello
A very interesting video. Thanks Ward. #GoNavy!
Thanks for your service to our country !! America First !!
Jell-O! He's awesome!
A pleasure to listen to this interview in person! Great meeting you all at Hook21!
I’m on the T&E side of the house and I have one of the hoodies from DCS where it shows the HUD from a hornet 🐝…. It’s a BVR 120 shot. And man I have a story about how that can cause a storm with security lol.
Loved the vid! I naturally follow Both channels and it’s actually the first time I’ve seen all them together. Really awesome.
Subbed. Been watching a while Ward and the content is always 100% genuine and since its real life it doesn't need any extra bells and whistles.........seeing the screws of an aircraft carrier as you're about to land? Just land in Edinburgh next time, beers on me. Thanks...
Greatest Crossover-Episode ever
Looks like you're having a great time! I like the Raven One series (actually BOUGHT the Kindle version of the series!) I enjoy reading about air combat from the folks who've "been there, done that." Would be cool if you could interview Jack Broughton, but he's gone now. Thank you for your posts. We flight sim, armchair aviators eat this "stuff" up! I read "Silver Waterfall" recently.
I love Jell-O soooooo much!!!!!
Vince has a very entertaining show but i had to go back to the pbs carrier documentary after he had the episode on the flying tic tac and mentioned he was on that cruise/work up. Forever linked sort of to an event which the “mis”history channel made a living on.
Good evening guys, nice to hear you all united enjoying your time, one thing where is sunshine.
Great to see these guys know each other & even served together!
Love what you guys did and do, quite the privilege to get the real insider’s view on US Navy military aviation, thank you.
With all that DCS talk, now I want to see a Punk's War campaign complete with Tomcats in VF-104 colors.
Stay tuned. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Yeah. Stay tuned.
Did I hear Ward Carroll is going to have a DCS module with the F-14?! Any information on that? Awesome you did the voice for the newest Raven 1 - I'll check it out! I am finishing up the first one :)
Thank you sir!
Subbed to the Fighterpilotpodcast 😊 thanks for sharing
Smiling, very happy video...well done Commander.....Cheers
Awesome!
My favorites shows, for sure! My best salute to the three gentlemen!
I have a family member in the marine F-35 squadron. I don’t know if you met him personally, but it’s cool that you talked with them
dominant fury is gonna be great, can confirm
MOOCH AND JELLO IN 2024!
😄
The Rock-N-Roll White House!!!🎸🥁🎤🤘
@@WardCarroll you think I’m speaking in jest sir, but I’d much rather see people with experience like you two possess, than the vaudevillian comedy troop that has been in the Executive branch over the last 5 years.
Sobering also.
Jell-O saying to your point is up there with Ill be back.
a big thumbs up!
Awesome to see the friendship vibes here !
Thanks for these stories..the 9/11 stories really took me back to that day..i remember it was a picture perfect beautiful day..then all the attacks happened..ive never been so pissed and sad all at once..i still have a support our troops camo ribbon magnet on my truck tailgate that i got shortly after the attacks
