Imagine being in your 20s, or early 30s, responsible for a multimillion dollar aircraft with some of the world's most advanced avionics and weaponry, and getting to fly with arguably some of the best pilots in the world. Quite possibly the best job in the world, and having the time of your life...
can I ask you a question wich is the best fighter jet between the f 18 super hornet and the rafale?
@@giuseppecasa3574 its hard to compare, too many variables. Except in obvious generational differences between modern aircraft comparing one over the other is largely a pissing contest. You have to consider the role of the aircraft, the pilot skill level, and the design parameters. In most cases if you're asking what is better, you have to define, what is it better at doing? Are you trying to prove which is better at dogfighting, or other tasking? Both aircraft are multirole capable airframes, the F18 can carry a wide range of ordinance and is a high angle of attack, nose pointy aircraft, which is a capable dogfighter. I've seen video of the rafale comfortably dogfighting with the vaunted F22, the Eurofughter also. Again its splitting hairs stuff that I think only civilians really care about, pilots are mission and objective focused, and are well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of their aircraft, and others they may encounter in a hostile environment.
@@Pricklyhedgehog72 in dogfight specifically which is the best between this two fighter jet?
@@giuseppecasa3574 I don't think I'm qualified to answer that question. On paper the aircraft have similar characteristics, the f18 has more powerful engines but it weighs more...so we may have a close fight depending on the parameters each pilot would be hoping to operate within.
@@Pricklyhedgehog72 thank you for the answer
This was my favorite aircraft when I was a kid. A pilot at an air show at Barksdale picked me and showed me everything about it. I thought I was dreaming 😂 “If the F16 is like a Cadillac, the F18 is like a Corvette” he said.
thank you for not puting stupid music on the video
Hh
Or a even stupider robot voice
That's a very good point. Didn't think of that til you mentioned it.
So what type music is stupid too u..
too
For 15 years I had the fortune to work for the Boeing Company helping to build the awesome F18 Super Hornet. I am proud of the priceless opportunity to help build the weapons system cabling for 8 of those years. Is a plane that I hope will last for many years to come.
Pilots are dope, but the engineers who make these beautiful machines deserve most the credit.
SMC___ Watch smithsonian. Heavy credits for engineers
SMC___ very true tho
Correct...
I wouldn't want any of the other engineers I worked with fight a war for us in one of these! Give credit where credit's due.
... And the engineers who keep track of the stresses that wear on these lightning bolts ...
I'm 43 and I absolutely know that I will never be a fighter pilot, that was my childhood dream. It hurts to figure that dream will never be fulfilled, but it's the reality. I love that shit so much ! Isn't it the coolest job on the planet?
5:49 thats the clearest ive ever seen the screens on video before
One of the best FA18 videos ive seen -so many great angles!
These pilots have the only job cooler than playing a Fender Stratocaster (really well!)! Thanks, guys, for ALL you do!
Top Gun 2 trailer brought me here! Beautiful aircraft!!
Me too🤣
same with me fella..
Snap
Who cares about top gun..
@@chelseaK11 ..u got that right..bunch of washed up people...
That is incredible, I give great respect to the pilots.
0:59 What ever music this guy is listening to, I want to hear it
Kids: "BuT tHeRe Is No mUsIc"
@@astxnmh but there is no music
Danger zone by Kenny loggins. Thanks me later.
How fast they come into land on a carrier is crazy. They must have every instinct in their bodies telling them to pull up.
Haer85 as soon as they touch down they throttle forward just Incase they didn’t catch an arresting wire
Maintain 150 mph minimum upon approach, be ready to Full Power if you miss a wire.
@@jadentate1698 I thought they went faster as they came in to land, It looked crazy and the wire must be extremely strong.
Like anything else it becomes routine for The facilitzens of the inner X navy man myself and in the aviation world I know it's involved it is very intense but becomes a regular routine after a while I think where the real adrenaline comes from pilots is when it fully armed and they have to go fight air combat that to be the adrenaline rush for them
The pilots the engineers and also the technicians and the mechanics who keep the planes in the utmost condition
These are the best fighter jets to ever see in action if you ever heard of the Blue Angels then these are your planes you love the way they perform 2gether
Damn, US, you have some awesome airforce and whats more important you have nice people to serve in it! Greetings from Russia :)
+Сергей Бойко
Thank you. You guys have an awesome military and people to serve in it yourselves!
From US :)
putin doesn't like that comment
from spain ;)
Сергей Бойко Серега, редко можно встретить в русскоязычной сети коммент, не исполненный сарказма и/или злобы по-отношению к Америке и американцам.
Я прожил здесь более 15 лет, и могу сказать, что американцы это наиболее открытые и бескорыстные люди в мире..
Я люблю эту страну и ее людей всем сердцем!
Такие люди как ты - добиваются в Америке успеха в короткие сроки!
Igor Igor you're talking to yourself, little putin's troll
Al Johnson not russian
Probably one of the best jet fighters. It can land anywhere, its easy to maintain, multirole and nuclear capable.
The f16 and f15 too
These cats fly over my house all the time, on the way to having their oil changed and their tires rotated! Love to hear 'em, can hardly ever SEE 'em, that's for sure! Don't ever change your flight pattern, guys, 'cause I sure enjoy having you around!!
Imagine the how their smooth landing must be satisfying to themselves too. Love it.
Thank you guys for keeping us safe
Pilot's are beyond human, very special individuals here, AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!
2:05 God, is this beautiful.....
I always enjoy these videos. Wouldn't want a ride in them,too scary but it is a good video
The amount of power these make to gain and lose speed is mind-blowing
These fly right over my house on a near-daily basis. It's like extremely loud/long thunder when they fly by
I manufacture a lot of parts for these jets! Amazing seeing it in action
I do to at GE Lynn
Thanks. Great Video.
Awesome video. Great job!
I was proud to be a plane captain...I was part of VFA-115...and my assigned jet was 200. or nuts as we liked to call it
it reads AK3 PAdilla , Seminole TX..very proud
EFR BABY
Such a beauty!
This is insane to touch down the aircraft on the moving ship in the waters. So awesome!!
I've flown one of these.. In the Battlefield 3 game. That mission was SO DOPE
IMO this is still the most beautiful jet ever created.
Second best, first is f22
I'm in awe of these guys and this awesome machine
Great ride !!!!! THANKS
Ha! My daughter worked on the F-18s and I almost got work on the F-14s in the early 80s...
My dad flew for a the VFA 105 Squadron in Oceana, and the squadron building for this plane here was next to his 0:34
So cool!!!
Checkmate! I love it!
I'm an aviation nut, and want to become a naval aviator. I hope I eventually get to fly this beauty!
xwingsarecool yt if you’re lucky you might get to fly one of the newer f-35s
How many miles are you running every day? If you are not in the top one tenth of one percent of all your peers, you won’t even get to the door, let alone enter it. The path to this is more difficult, mentally and physically, than 99% of all other military specialties. Get in fantastic shape, bust ass in academics, get into a good 4 yr Navy ROTC program, and work harder, 24/7 than you ever dreamed you were capable of. Maybe you’ll have a shot.
Do your research on how to do that and that dream can come true.
Thank you. :D
Wow, do you build these amazing things?
Pilot: No, I'm just a user.
Excellent footage 👍
cant imagine stopping from 240 to 0 in 1 second. they way it looks on these videos is that its not that much force. but it must be because they know what force to expect and having had those muscles worked out....
This is awesome!
F-15 and f-18 are best 4 gen fighter jets in the world.Respect 🇺🇸
Damn! At 4:44 I thought he was going to do a high speed flyby.
Nice stuff!
All time classic design and beautiful Hornets
5:30 is that heaven?.. these guys, esp these pilots have the coolest job that not all could have.. I envy you 😭😭😂
best fighter jets in the world
The F / A-18 C / D / E / F are the fighters that fly the most with asymmetric loads and taking off and landing in carriers.
VFA = Very
F...ing
Awesome
Very Good Fighter and Modern JET- F18 Super Hornet.
love it GO NAVY
You mean Air Force
@@jazzaquills these planes are flown by the navy. Never seen top gun? 😂
I respect pilots A LOT........I would probably shit on my pants if I had to take off from an aircraft carrier......Salute
***** LMAO.....I'm learning Flight Simulator, can take-off and navigate, but landing has been a hustle
***** Microsoft Flight Simulator X and then will move to prepar3d by Lockheed Martin....wanna fly the c-17....
***** the Gold Edition.....it comes with a CD with F-18s, and carrier missions
***** Great........ do u know of where or a good video where I can find add-ons??? I really want to install new aircraft on my fsx
***** never added any, but will figure it out....just wanted a trusted place where I could find them... I'm interested in adding these aircraft, Boeing 777-300er, 757-300, 767, 787 and airbus a380
The World need the strongest Us!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 from Austria
What a beautiful pieces of machinery.
That's what they fly in the new Top Gun
The Hornet is my favorite jet. Maybe not as fast as the Eagle but it's gonna sneak up on them MiGs real quiet like and gun them with a big gun.
My neighbor is an old F-4 Phantom pilot. He saw a little action in Vietnam. I keep telling him to write a book. He had his share of close calls and narrow escapes from MiGs.
These are my 3 favorite aviation books:
- The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman
- Scream of Eagles by Robert Wilcox
- Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson
That red ribbon is the coolest I have ever seen.
I would give anything to become an NFO maybe even an Aviator. I hope I get the chance once I go through the process of becoming an officer.
👍👍👍👍👍🇲🇾
The F18 is so badass🔥🔥🔥
4:27 Mighty P-3C Orion patrol plane with engine #1 shutdown and prop feathered for fuel conservation on-station.
Ya, I seen that too. F-18 flying cover, but was under her checking to see if it was leaking any fluids. An escort home..
I use to work on these out in KBay (VP-4)... Dream orders for sure
Great landing footage on the carrier.
Great flying.
3:43 Oh i didn't know that rambo was a fighter pilot.
i didnt mean it i meant he had the red tie on his helmet. Btw i knew the helmet has that feature and it also can lock targets too
I didnt mean that. I meant that he had a red tie over his helmet. Btw i knew that feature already and it can also lock enemy targets
Haha lol
520 is like heaven god bless these aviators
The original Independence Day movie brought me here. 😎
that was a real trip.
My dad is retired A-10 pilot from Mass Air Guard ....26 years mass Air Guard 131st fighter Squadron...Now has F-15 c/d.....eventually F-22s
Wow that would be so cool to go up in one of those jets!.
i love this plane
I still have a great respect for the F18 Super Hornet.F-22 Raptors are mean machines but The F18 is still it's Daddy.😎👊
I saw this aircraft on Top Gun 2 trailer and wanted to know more. Hello from Papua New Guinea!
The title should be F-18 strolling around!
the braking is phenomenal
Justin C it’s the cables that it latches on that slows it down the most
Beautiful
Its not a job...its an adventure
Excellence!!! Heaven!!!
I felt every bit of That roll @6:56
Your here after watching Top Gun: Maverick aren't ya?
From the "Fleet Defender", to the Striker of the Teen Fighter Series.
Teen Series Fighters:
F-14
F-15
F-16
F-18
AWESOME AND GREAT VIEW TO...
Simply bad ass..
That landing at 1:10 is the most hard landing ive seen
BEAUTIFUL
Awesome! USA ALL THE WAY!
Peace through strenght and always remember, thread not on US! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If only you credited the guy who took the footage, Ian Schmidt
One thing I see common is they should have a rear camera so the pilot can see the enemy in back of their jet
Very cool. I remember the F-14 Tomcats and when they were the shit. The U.S. has the biggest, baddest military, PERIOD.
Hey look its Rambo flying an f18
nice cockpit view. Hope to see F22 or F35 view someday.
I would give all the money I have to get to experience this. Especially the takeoff from a carrier.
Break the sound barrier!!
Badass!
I like air show and the airplanes but I like this one the most
From Malaysia.✌️😊✌️🇲🇾
God bless the pilots,the best in the world
YOU CHOOSE TO CHANGE THE TIDE OF WAR
The upgraded F-14 D Tomcat, would have been a significantly improved aircraft than the Super Hornet. But at the time Dick Chaney did not like Grumman. We would have had super cruise, greater range, 2 pilots, and the service hour issue on the old Tomcats would have been resolved.
Now its either this aircraft the f18 or f35 that you want to use if you want to engage the su series aircraft due to its thrust vectoring capabilities and the f-22 can sit in the parking lot.
