Welcome aboard and EA-18G Growler Case I recovery aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) in the Arabian Gulf. I caught the 4 wire and landed a little right. This trap was on the backside of a 1.5-hour training sortie.
Yellow Shirts and pilots work closely to precisely taxi 70+ million dollar aircraft inches from the edge of the flight deck. At time 5:30, you can see an example of this. In the EA-18G, the nose gear extends slightly behind the pilot, so at times when taxiing near the edge of the flight deck, the pilot's feet will be over the water when the the aircraft is in a turn. It's a little sketchy, especially at night. Thanks for watching. Fly Navy!

Fully understand your anxiety with that fantail taxi. As a former yellow shirt on deck, I remember many night taxis on the bow and fantail being on the edge. Warching the pilots being nervous as they only see blackness below. As directors we were always nervous as we rely on the pilot to turn immediately when we say to turn. Was always a great relationship with the pilots and flight deck crew.
Daytime ops looks insane, night ops on a rough sea, yeah right!! Amazing!
Priority #1!!!!
Keep ya head on a Swivel!
Fellow ABH-1, USNR-Ret
I'm a retired Navy ATC and watching these yellow-shirts give this guy a taxi tour of the flight deck is awesome! It never ceases to amaze me the teamwork required from all ranks and rates to execute the mission topside.
As a Navy vet who was not a naval airman, it never ceases to amaze me how all of the aircraft directors coordinate to do their jobs once that plane has landed. I salute all of you proud men and women who do your duty to keep us safe and out of harm's way.
I salute you for noticing the directors; the real bread and butter of carrier ops. 😉
Thank you for your service, shipmate. One vet to another.
@@cameronstoneadams1183 You too, brother.
Go Navy! Fly Navy!
Do you think any of them want to take down the corrupt illegal Federal reserve? Like they are the ones that create War because it's I don't know good for the economy they say? I mean what is it 10,000 people that all the military and 350 million Americans and other countries could go after these people that control the world and keep us broke the federal income tax that is illegal and should be dissolved. They take a computer entry and print $100 billion dollars out of thin air on worthless paper not backed up by gold and silver coin and charge us interest on the debt and not one person in the military not one federal judge not one of the 3.3 million lawyers in America wants to stand up and scream about this horrible elephant in the room? What am I the only genius in the world. Does anybody see this does anybody understand this is why people are broke scratching out a living? This has gone on since 1913. The IRS is set up only to collect the money for the corrupt illegal Federal Reserve System which is a privately held Corporation not part of the government and has never been audited. Hello hello is anybody out there. God bless the military yes. Corruption begins with these people who run the world. Why don't you think about taking them out all eugeniuses
My daughter has her private pilots license and currently attending the Naval Academy. She has aspersions of landing on a carrier one day. I say you and her are batshit crazy! I’m certainly glade that you folks are willing to do it for me!
My little brother is a f18 super hornet pilot…. I am so proud of him you guys put in hard work, there were days he called me having doubts that he might not succeed but, he pushed through it and became a Naval Aviator
I cannot get enough of watching these Navy pilots do what they do with fast complicated jet aircraft including landing on a small
square out in the ocean. The years it takes to learn hundreds of details and how to respond in a hurry when "anything" isn't right,
and with the correct action. Oh Please. These are very very special people. I am completely impressed with both men and women
who can handle these powerful Star War's vehicles.
Thanks for the kind words, Maureen. I’m happy to serve.
Aviators
Awesome how it gets handed person to person on deck , so smoothly done , amazing
I'm no flyer, I'm not even military, but that bit at the end around 5:33 was buttock clenchingly nerve wracking! I know you guys train and train to do this, and you must have utmost faith in each other to not screw up, but even so........... RESPECT!
I spent years in the Air Force and now decades in heavy jet aviation and I hold a TON of respect for these carrier ops guys. When you taxi around on acres and acres of concrete and land and take off on 10,000 feet runways you lose sight of what these guys to as a matter of daily routine. When you are taxiing around the flight deck and all you see off the nose is water waiting for a marshaller to turn or stop you? That takes skill AND nerve!
You can distinguish between an Air Force pilot and a Naval aviator in seconds by watching them handle their jet. You tell a Navy guy to turn, by damn he turns, tell him to stop and STOP is what he does.
Tell an Air Force pilot or civilian trained pilot to turn or stop and they will......when they get around to it.
RESPECT
Skill, nerve and I guess, no small amount of trust. Respect indeed
I imagine there is a difference when traffic commands are backed with a "turn or swim" threat.
Unfortunately they both make horrible airline pilots as they are used to being individuals and their flight skills are not actually that great. They learn from mechanical rote learning and do not have a real feel for flying an aircraft. That's why the navy guys pump the throttle up and down on final for no real reason. They make the next throttle change before the previous one could possibly have any impact on the energy of the aircraft. Sorry if the truth hurts
@@nothingmuch875
And your point???
There's also how they land on regular runways.
Pretty funny to see the Navy pilot do it 😂

Finally a real video with real sound and no intrusive music!!
Thank You so much!
Love the crew coordination on the deck, and of course the flying. Perfect camera angle also. Thanks for posting!
Being an old retired (1991) ADCS I just cannot get over the size of the flight decks of the new super carriers. My last cruise I was a flight deck coordinator for VFA - 132 onboard CVA-43 Coral Sea, both decommissioned now. I counted 8 maybe 9 pass-offs while taxing bow to fantail. At 5:48 the yellow shirt almost disappeared under the nose. As a flight deck coordinator these were the type recoveries I hated, having to chase the plane up and down the flight deck. Thanks, I enjoyed that.
I was thinking the same! It’s literally like a section of highway - the engineering and the work these fine people do just leaves me in awe.
Thank you for your service!
Hell even the gator freighters have a big deck. Not close to a carrier but as a Marine we had to run a PFT at sea and 3 miles was 10 laps on the flight deck. That's huge
@@dickfitswell3437 dude, it blew my mind! I would so love the opportunity to step on the deck of one of these beasts some day. What an honour that would be. It’s some seriously impressive engineering for sure!
Cute Cat dude - fellow Cat Dad here too (Your name made me laugh my head off by the way!
Thank you for your service Sir. *Respect.*
It is amazing to see how they are maneuvered around the flight deck. There is no way I could get that close to the edge when they had him swing it around at the end. WOW Gives me even more respect for our Armed Services personnel. God Bless them all
What a great video! You always see the landings but you never see what occurs afterwards.
Very interesting watching how these aircraft are directed and guided around the deck.
I need the yellow guys everytime I park my car.
I'm sure the pilot enjoyed his scenic tour of the flight deck after his recovery!
Just looking at the deck picture and when he trapped, he was surely going aft. No place to turn around in the de-arm, so makes perfect sense.
He sure got the tour
Yeah because the view from the sky beforehand kinda sucks.
I sometimes struggle to taxy my PA28 at a unfamiliar airport but threading an F18 through those personnel and aircraft to the edge of a boat is incredible. You guys never cease to amaze me
I love the PA28 I have most of my hours in a RT -Arrow IV Got my Comm-SE in it. Loved flying that plane! :)
You really don't neet to feel bad about that. Some airports have more taxiway miles and intersections than a small town.
Man, even taxiing looks scary, let alone the landing. Such incredible skills 😎🤙
I remember the badges the Yard gave us when she was being built. Reading, "Get Teddy Ready" I was running the 72 inch lathe that turned the intermediate prop shafts and the Aux. thrust shafts. They were fun to cut and finish polish the thrust face. Good times at Newport News ship.
Cool! A peek into the unsung side of naval ops that we see little about. I had work done on my massive brush chipper that ran a 4' diameter 2000# disc that needed it's shaft welded and remachined. These guys had bought a lathe from the San Diego Shipyard that could swing a 5' diameter piece of material. It was built in the late 30's. We chucked up the whole disk on its 4" diameter shaft, welded it, a swung it on the lathe to machine it right back to spec. I was in awe over that and thought of all the components that lathe had worked on through WWII forward and now these guys had it and were putting it to use still today.
I think carrier flying is by far and away the most impressive, particularly some of the big birds at night
They did a study during vietnam of naval aircrewmen that monitored their breathing rate, heart beat etc.
What they found was that in terms of intensity measured by increased respirations and increased heart rate, a night trap on a carrier was by far more stressful than actual combat with migs.
It's a good thing that plane didn't have a proximity sensor like in many cars these days. That alarm would have been going off constantly! 😄
I think of the coordinated dance that is going on behind the scenes to get these aircraft in and out of the air! Much respect to all still on the front lines and glad your back safe!!
I'm not sure what is more nerve wracking - the trap itself or the taxi that takes you right to the edge of the boat. Full credit to the ground crew for getting you to your parking slot so efficiently.
Not exactly "full" credit.
man, your trust in the fantail director, and his knowledge of just how you control the jet, "walking" there. Wow!
Absolutely Incredible! It's amazing how after he lands he is constantly watching the people on the flight deck (I think that's what it called) directing him where to go! Thanks for the excellent view!
Hell. That made me pucker. But you gotta love the yellow shirts. They know their stuff. In fact anyone on the flight deck has my admiration. Great video.
Viewing all of it together the crews of these ships are amazing! From the guys scrubbing toilets all the way to the guys turning and burning. Every job is important and these young people are doing a great job.
The coordination between the yellow shirts was mesmerizing to watch. I can see why that fan tail taxing was nerve wracking
Holy crap! Great job! I'm a retired Navy air traffic controller. Was stationed aboard USS Ranger in the early 80's. Never ceases to amaze me. Love carrier aviation. Again, GREAT job sir!!!
Thank you for your service.
From Melbourne Australia. Thanks for posting this and I admire the skill of people that serve on aircraft carriers and how every square inch of the deck is utilized- just amazing. Take care and again, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@GrowlerJams The beers have been bought for you and your mates. All the best, Craig.
I love seeing this operation from your perspective. I was an Air Traffic Controller on the Nimitz-CVN-68 from 1981-1982. I so enjoyed the excitement of operations and recovery of the squadrons on the Nimitz. Any chance I could I would take my 'Mickey Mouse' ears and go up to 'Vultures Row' (those that served will understand these references) and watch recovery operations when not on duty. Night operations were always the most amazing and scary at the same time. I witness several accidents and one resulted in fatalities. Carrier ops are a serious business and the successful outcome is a matter of teamwork extraordinaire!! Thank you for these amazing videos!
Thank you for your service to our country and also for posting your videos on RUclips! Your videos help people develop a greater appreciation for the men and women who serve in our military....AND allow us to live our dreams of being a F-18 Super Hornet fighter pilot! God bless you!
I appreciate that!
3RD VIDEO OF YOUR'S I'VE VIEWED...EARNED A SUBSCRIBER... Appreciate all the sacrifice you and family made for you to experience what you have...well earned and greatly appreciated.
Great video. I got some goosebumps seeing You taxi so close to the fantail;)
G.J. GREAT VIDEO!!! I WAS IN THE MILITARY IN THE 70-80S MY RANK WAS ARMY MEDICAL SUPPLIES OFFICER WE FLEW THE C-47S AND THE AUH1 MEDI VACS THE GREEN GIANTS - HUEYS ,, I REMEBER THE F-16S.. THANKS AGAIN,,, FLY HIGH ITS THE BEST ,, ITS THE CLOSES TO G D .. A GREAT FEELING ..
Leaves no doubt as to the immense size of these carriers. Thanks for sharing.
In the world of big ships, carriers are not immense. They're TINY.
@@gweminence1 True when compared to bulk carriers etc. However the deck surface area is immense even when it is compared to bulk carriers . . whom surpass carriers in gross tonnage too.
I find it satisfying how there's a handling officer (yellow shirt) already in sync and coordinating the pilot no matter which direction he's pointed in.
From a fellow NA. Smooth as glass in the groove.
This was pretty neat. I’ve been in aviation for 20 years and interested in aviation for another 20 on top of that. Naval aviation had always been amazing to me but seeing it all work from a cockpit perspective was amazing. Thank you.
Mother looks so tiny in the sea! Wow! The teamwork that makes this happen is outstanding
Tremendous respect! I’m in awe of these brave men and women!! Beautiful
incredible job on the flight deck! My utmost respect to the crew! Greetings from Hamburg.
I was enlisted combat aircrew on P3 orions back in the early 90's so I've never been on a carrier
the crew coordination displayed here in a VERY dangerous and congested flight deck is nothing short of fascinating. The deck simply doesnt look big enough to handle all that it does.
Just incredible. The teamwork and the coordination.
Great Vid, love seeing these perspectives. 😊
Fantastic stuff! Thank you for your service.
Sir I was a blue shirt on the Eisenhower and I loved every minute of it. I love airplanes ✈️ and I think the navy has the best pilots.
Amazing perspective. Thank you.
Wow, it takes nerves of steel to park up! Well done. 😊
Nice video. I liked watching all of the yellow shirts that directed the Growler from one end of the ship to the other. Looked like it was going off the stern for a second.
I enjoyed watching this. Thank you for your service
Stunning. The ultimate in teamwork from everyone involved in carrier ops.
(I must admit, I was clenching during that final turn for parking!! )
The intensity of that place right through my puny little phone screen is almost too much. I can only imagine the intensity in person. God bless the whole crew.
Amazing the deck crew guide you so close to edge . Tight squeeze on deck, wow.
Having done this on a smaller carrier, Intrepid and Yorktown, the trust you must have in the yellow shirts is amazing. Gotta hope he's on his game and you gotta make sure you are on yours. Not much to keep something bad from happening. Sometimes I just felt like, "hey, just gonna shut her down here, get the tow bar and tow truck". 😅😅
A little bumpy traveling over those arrestor wires, like turbulences on the deck. Fly NAVY!
The teamwork of the Marshalls is very impressive.
That was absolutely awesome! The choreography that took place after the trap was incredible!
It is truly an awesome generating witnessing of premier class professionalism by all involved. Wow squared!!
Absolute best Naval content - keep up the great work!
Arresting wire bumps... not part of the experience in my grandparents 172! You have the greatest job on planet Earth!!! Keep that signature move up
Thank you for your service and the videos
Hey Jams......CHEERS!!🍻🍻 Thank you for your service to our country!!! God Bless!!!
Great video! These Navy pilots are beyond amazing having the skills and intestinal fortitude to get it right first time; landing on a rolling, pitching runway at 175 kt.
an example: ruclips.net/video/uTVj_ZSwxGE/видео.html scroll over to 4:16 LOL
Incredible Video. Thank you to the source. Taxing around looks even more stressful than landing.
Great video, as always! Thanks for posting!
Thank you very much for your super exciting videos!
Thank you for your support.
Wow, join the navy, see the whole carrier deck. I’m impressed.
Awesome! First time for me to see a full parking procedure.
Like I always say. In aviation patience is not a virtud is an order.
Cheers!
Ooof, I watched this full screen and was puckering watching you approach the stern. Respect sir!
So smooth! (And fast!) Great landing!
Excellent work around the deck
superb flying and view luv every moment of it through your glass
Excellent footage. Thanks!
Good job on the landing. Also, shout out to the ground crew, it's interesting to see how the Yellow shirts hand-off to each other around the deck, great team effort.
Wow!!! ...as old as I am, wish I could live that kind of life for as long as I could. Total and complete 'sense of purpose' right there.
I just love the sound of the engine so peaceful it's pleasant 😌
Wonderful !
Great video.
That was amazing. Thanks for uploading!
WOW! Nervous, I couldn't breathe! Oh my gosh 😳
great vid, thanks for sharing. keep it safe out there
Better video quality then my days up in the ready room but miss the comm traffic that was in ours. Thanks
Wow, what a ride! Thanks.
Nerves of steel Sir!!! Wow.
Simply AWESOME
Everyone on deck is important.
I love these videos, I have a lot of respect for you and all of them too👍🏻🇺🇸
Wow! Lots of awesome hardware on that deck! 😯
One of the coolest videos I've seen.
That was cool. I've never seen one being taxied to parking on a carrier before. Thanks!
Just proves it's an orchestra of chaos
This video is amazing. Thanks for sharing aviator!
Смотрю с удовольствием всегда! Вспоминаю свою молодость тоже. Спасибо!
More scary taxiingby the edge. Was waiting for him to punch out
Wow that was awesome man! Can't wait to get home after work tonight & fire up DCS for some Traps on Ole Abe. Thanks a bunch for posting & beautiful job too! 👌
How can this not make you love America! Bless all of you that have and do serve.
Very cool...lots of respect for all Naval Aviators!
The best videos are the ones that don't add the cheesy music and let you hear the real sound. Great video.
Cheers!
As usual, great job from the worlds best. 😎
The best footage I have ever seen.
Like a well-oiled machine! That was fascinating to watch
