i know I am pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to watch newly released series online?

[@daviontrevor4101]

@Lennox Roger flixportal :P

[@lennoxroger4151]

@Davion Trevor Thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it!!

[@daviontrevor4101]

@Lennox Roger happy to help =)

[@RyanS493]

Nice video, no crappy clickbait title, no music, just Warplanes 👌👌👌

[@aaaht3810]

Ryan 493, couldn't agree more. Just the sounds of the aircraft, wind, even the radar interference made the video enjoyable for me. So many military vids are ruined by music that I am sure the poster thinks is cool, but nobody ever likes. Too bad not all days at sea are conducive to flight ops as the one shown in the video.

[@renatoigmed]

this whole operation is incredibly complex and delicate. imagine under the pressure of a war the chances of an accident occurring should increase exponentially.

[@codachrome123]

Wow, how do you get lucky enough to be invited on board a carrier to document stuff like this? I would absolutely love to be able to spend a day on a carrier. Great Video!

[@superskullmaster]

Those radar dishes sure were causing some mean audio interference.

[@brainiac8067]

The Navy makes it look easy. Much respect.

[@sski]

Audible sweep of radar produced by the camera throughout the video matches the large dish seen at 6:08

[@delten-eleven1910]

I love when they do the control surfaces check on the Hornets just before launch.

[@demonbot6617]

it's kinda funny imagining the walk of shame back to hangar if they discover an issue at that point

[@judgefonti5786]

fun fact: that strange audio interference you keep hearing is from the radar dishes aboard the carrier causing audio distortion.

[@jant.carlsson5061]

Just fucking amazing! I saw a video once when a pilot landed his jet on a carrier at night in rough sea. Thousands of meters up the carrier was just a bright spot in the ocean when he started to climb down. I guess that's what called skills.

[@hugebartlett1884]

It's what's called Sheer Guts!

[@guylawes]

Those double launches are awesome!

[@CDRhammond]

Triple launches are even better :)

[@jcsandygobotobkkbo2192]

My cousin was Filipino but he is a US Navy

[@davidtaai6576]

two airplane at the time , amazing greeting from Australia

[@claudiocarbone2225]

Simply Amazing! Goosebumps! ♥️✈Love the EA18

[@dr_gimpy]

Great video pleasing to the eye and music to the ears.

[@mattdillon8691]

My son is aboard that ship!

[@davidsadler419]

Amazing. Those guys are awesome.

[@Zebedeu123]

great video

[@davidtaai6576]

wow ! short runway big aircraft , amazing

[@allgood6760]

Super cool 👍

[@altonmedcalf5790]

So glad President Reagan is honored by this carrier. He deserved it. As did President Eisenhower. I served alongside the Ike strike force aboard the USS South Carolina CGN-37.

[@nevize6660]

Thanks for your service! Reagan was a great man.

[@zachj3483]

At around 10:00 are those a couple harriers on the back of the deck?

[@samstanfield2634]

No harriers in sight for me. Just the noses of more Hornets.

[@CDRhammond]

There is always at least one USMC squadron on board depends on the CVW on what aircraft is flying based on the lettering on some of the hornet tails (NF) this is CVW-5 at the time this video was made

[@11Stucat]

Mustve been during Carrier quals. That flight deck is way to empty for a 6 month Cruise.

[@danielcarlson800]

Go NAVY!!!!

[@123arcadia]

The “shooter the best job on the carrier deck

[@torn-_shuttle123]

I have to disagree with you on this one.

[@hugebartlett1884]

Any guy thinking he has a pressure job to do every day,just try working a flight deck! Twelve hours non stop? Day in,day out,and nights! No job for a softie!

[@mr.wirupongsukaruji3440]

Bring all the troops to Thailand

[@jcsandygobotobkkbo2192]

I want to be a fighter pilot US Air Force but I'm Filipino

[@samstanfield2634]

Uh you can be a Filipino in the Air Force if you're a U.S. citizen. Do you live here?

[@jcsandygobotobkkbo2192]

Sam Stanfield yes

[@samstanfield2634]

If you're an English speaking citizen you can apply to the Air Force. I'd recommend going to college, doing ROTC or going to OTS after graduation. Quickest way to become an officer. That's what I'm doing.

[@itzonpostintwoforfour]

catapult:hydraulic leak

[@torn-_shuttle123]

In what part of the video does it show that?

[@itzonpostintwoforfour]

kidding

[@justgjt]

and all the tourists have VIP on their cranials. . . . 🤓

[@CDRhammond]

Besides reporters, Flag officers (1-4 stars) and politicians also wear the VIP jackets as well as some celeb's

[@torn-_shuttle123]

Any DVs that tour the ship have either VIP or DV on their cranials.

[@bradleychilds4387]

This is my idea of porn
