I was in the Wildcats AO2 bb stacker in 1986/1988 100 series back then when it was almost new on the east coast NAS Cecil Field fla. Was the first f-18 squadron on the east coast and first to see combat in Libya operation el-dorado canyon , Our orginal 111 took out a few radar sites in 1986 but it and the pilot was lost at night off the coast of france during our 1987/1988 med cruise on board the USS Coral Sea , Rest easy LT Joe Mullany Uniontown Ohio !
Hated every second of that deployment.... wouldn't trade a single son-of-a-bitch I was out there with for the experience though. Killer cats. MEOW MEOW BITCHES!
Oh I didn't think that would actually work, I was just curious if there were any videos that still cant be posted because of copyright. There was a cruise video sometime in 2017 that I've never seen reuploaded. I just remember it used Middle by DJ Snake a little over half way through the video. Thanks again for sharing these man.
@@DesertPunks I'm still active on here I just don't have the time for videos or re-posting them, I've been crazy busy at work for the last 3 years and had my S.O leave me abruptly after 4 years together. I hope to be able to start again sometime. But yeah that's the VFA-103 2017 OIR cruise video, I have it but it always get retaken down for one of the songs so I'd have to cut that specific song out. No problem I enjoy sharing them also, thanks for the comments!
@@timhortons232 Sorry to hear, hope things get better man. If you're willing to upload that specific video to google drive It'd be amazing though. Haven't seen it since I was a junior in HS. My email's on my channel's about page. Thanks again and wishing you the best.
Stormsquad Su 35 air superiority fighter with both a frontal radar range 400km and rear radar range of over 300km designed to detect stealth aircraft against a non stealth f18 hmm .Based on logic I m pretty sure they knew they were being followed not to mention the s400 at russian base in latakia is tracking all US coalition aircraft confirmed by US general of operations in syria.Meaning you cant get the jump on russian modern aircraft ever!
elite aviator that nice a air Superiorty FIGHTER but the F-22 IS A AIR DOMINANCE FIGHTER THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO MEANINGS. LOL YOU CAN NEVER GET THE JUMP ON THE US AND LOOK ALL AROUND RUSSIA WE GOT THEM SURROUNDED THEY WOULD BE HAPPY STUIPD TO TRY ANYTHING LOL U JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE FULL CAPABILITIES OF THE FULL US MILITARY AND WE ARE LIGHTYEARS AHEAD ON THE TECHNOLOGY.
@Kofi Amoa Dumbass Russia isn't the only country that does military parades.France and several other European countries do it in commemoration of WW2.Russia just outflexed the US in middle east by organizing deal that led to US forces pulling out of most of Syrian northern territories.It is the US that is irrelevant.Also Russia rear radar can be used to identify and fire sidewinder and radar tracking missiles.I don't what kind of crappy rear radars you Americans have but Russia is clearly more advanced if america can't use rear radars to fire missiles
@Kofi Amoa Also Russia is not a snowy country you ignorant fool.They have all seasons just like the rest of europe. Only their northern parts that are in the arctic remain cold.But in summer even Siberia gets hot
Best squadron ever! 2000, 2002, 2004 deployments with the good ole world famous Wildcats! Best 4 years of my life!
Yoooooo it’s Buffington and you are soo right!!!!

Those Flankers probably had no idea they were being followed by the F/A-18 let alone an F-22 or an F-35
Ofco-o-o-ourse they weren't)
