I had NO idea they worked the throttle so much. I've never seen footage like that where both hands are visible, very cool. The footage from 3:20 to 3:30 is gorgeous.
In order to stay at the right angle of attack, they trim so that their stick position doesn't have to move much, and the aircraft will sit around 5 degrees of pitch. Rate of descent is now only controlled through throttle so it moves a lot lol. It's pretty insane.
and how the engined work, there is not an immediate response. So they make an adjustment than go back to the previous position and wait a couple seconds for a result. If they didn’t do this on landing it could result in a stall.
My congratulations to those phenomenal pilots. Watching it from your computer makes it feel so easy and scenic but I can't even imagine how much physical resistance it must take to do it. Just taking off of that carrier must be a tremendous effort. It's not something everybody can do so my hat off you sir. And thanks for keeping us safe! x
Good to see video without music. Refueling scenes are great. At 4:10 or so, great to see the pilot's eyes and see where he's looking as he goes through maneuvers.
***** Listen, It's personal, but if you must know, I dropped out because I'm the eldest son in my family, and my father handed me the family business when he died, my brothers are too young. I had to sacrifice my dreams for my family.
Great video. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for not ruining it with music. The raw sound, even when there is NO sound, is better than that noise pollution most other videos have on them.
Start to 2:00 I know fighter pilots are the cream, but this pilot shows how to fly formation. Notice he doesn't look forward, he trusts the lead and watches the lead to adjust his distance, speed, turn and placement in the group. Great Job! The launch from a carrier in an F-4 was a violent kick in the ass, with every happening so fast. Landing was never "easy" and they have to be out in front of the aircraft. This pilot is most likely in his twenty's, so I have no worries about the future of the USA. Great video!
Great shots and unusual angles. Loved the interplay of both right and left hands during flight. Also recognized the KC-135 as a 92nd ARW out of Fairchild AFB. Thank you for this collection of shots.
A Marine Capt female (Marine Corps) is in charge of the maintenance/guard crew of Marines. She flies "Fat Albert", the maintenance aircraft, a C-130 Hercules, and is resp for the Marine detachment. The Navy uses the Marines to guard assets (naval infantry). There is a vid on YT. Fat Albert also has its own show at demonstrations (JATO take-offs, etc)
Interesting, THE Fat Albert is attached to the Blue Angels out of NAS Pensacola (Sherman Field)....quite a site to see, especially with the JATO that you mentioned! FLYNAVY!
I wish they showed more of what is going on the deck of the carrier with the launching and catching of the jets, it is always the cockpit views, there is a lot more to it then that.
I just finished installing the rudder cable mechanism on one of those birds. Monday I will procede to rigging them. Beautiful bird to see flying but the maintenance in some of its cramped spaces is hell. 👍🏼
No stupid music! Thank you so much. Real air heads don't like music on their jet videos :).....This is the second best job in the world. One step below astronaut... well its arguable this is better than that even.
I had the opportunity to do one launch and on another day a recovery while stationed aboard the U.S.S. America CV-66. I had to go on emergency leave,and we were about 200 out to sea. Better than any roller coaster ride.
They use the throttle instead of the stick for correct onspeed AoA, less power = pitch down more power = pitch up. It's used a lot for formations too unless ATC is engaged.
First, thank you sincerely for your service. And thank you - from the bottom of my heart - for not uploading this with cheesy music, so that it has a shelf-life of whatever Top 40 song is popular at the time of editing. Good Luck, God Bless Ya.
In the greek air force the pilots are in a constant alert, checking ID planes, policing, etc. One MFD is in constant use with AA radar. Also i find the F-16 avionics more intuitive. Whats your take on this?
That really put me up there with him! O_O His view at 7:53 of a Hornet landing on the deck of the moving carrier far below is nothing short of incredible. And soaring into the clouds at 8:47 is God-like.
Damn that cat was violent! I did it a few times in the backseat of an EA-3B Skywarrior and it was fun; I don't remember that violent jerking, though. Could be because the Whale could absorb more of the punch.
I noticed that the first aviator was not wearing glove while the second one was. Which is the most common among Naval aviators? Second: Is it possible to take gloves on or off inside the cockpit of an F-18 while actually flying the aircraft?
Comms and oxygen are lost upon ejection. Pilots unclasp their oxygen mask and breathe ambient air. But there is an emergency locator beacon in their survival gear which broadcasts their position.
How come and you dont have one display always on air to air mode? Even if its secure area you are a fighter pilot and you must be in constant alert, right? There is no protocol regarding the displays? I would presume one MFD to be radar, another HSI and the third to change accordingly.
mlazos not sure where you're looking in the vid, the r/h MFD is on AA radar most of the time. When he's in the pattern for landing, you wouldn't want him to have it on. The CATCC is monitoring all aircraft and SOPs are ensuring separation. The radar is no use to the pilot but it will fry the deck crew if he lands with it on! My understanding is (and I am by no means an expert) they go nose cold (radar off) when entering the port holding pattern for case 1 and Marshall for case2/3
Russell Myers yes i didnt realise they were flying near the carrier. Even during the formation flying they were above the carrier. Makes sense. I saw at the 1st minute the video, and all the cockpit scenes actually show the left mfd showing the failure/test page.
Awesome. There's no doubt that Navy pilots are the best. It takes a special human being to drop nearly thirty tonnes of steel hurtling at 160 knots onto a rolling carrier deck. On a pitch black night too, which they're required to demonstrate before sign-off. I tip my hat.
The gloves mentioned many times below are Nomex, or fire-resistant gloves. No, they are not for cooking as someone made fun of/with....they are all part of the fire-resistant flight suit/clothing for the JUST IN CASE situation where fire is a great possibility. Having been a part of the FLYNAVY community years ago, we DID wear our Nomex all the time. Trapping a 3-wire is not a piece-of-cake (not intended to refer to cooking, from above--smile) as many viewers think.....BUT, wow, what fun it is to do so!! When Paddles gives you an O.K. for your pass, it is like getting a gold star next to your name on the board.
+hotmojoe. There is in no way shape or form any indication of air refueling in the title and the description of this video. I don't know where you thought you saw that but you either clicked the wrong video or are imagining things.
Cockpit View: F/A-18 Super Hornet - Catapult Launch, Arrested Landing. Jestem pełen podziwu do pilotowania takiej maszyny. Dzięki za umożliwienie poznania pracy pilota wojskowego USA. Pozdrawiam dzielnych Panów pilotów.
Ron Aidini What was causing it in your experience? Can you explain a little how/what it felt like when you catapulted off of the aircraft carrier (if that's the reason for your hernia). I wish you the best of health and hope you'll recover fully if you indeed go for the surgery.
The wow factor wears off after about a week and then you realize you're going to spend your career trapped in a tiny box where you can't move your legs and can't take the stuffy hot helmet off for hours and hours. Shooting down enemy planes no longer involves dogfighting nor even seeing them because the missiles have a range beyond what the human eye can see.
I get how useful they can be, but helmet mounted sights looks ridiculous in my opinion, I like the more sleek look of just a sun visor, looks very intimidating in my opinion
No cheesy music, thank god, very nice video btw.

@@DigitalDyslexia 8.1° * i read the manual :D
Thank-you to the pilots for letting us see what you guys do everyday from your office. Keep up the great work.
This pilot makes the hardest task in aviation (landing on an aircraft carrier) look like nothing. Amazing.
Idk aerial refueling is pretty hard too
@@Axel-ki1nr yeah, getting fuel is definitely harder than getting a 3 wire landing on a boat
@@notalexzander2 Yeah, if your in a helicopter then it might be easy. But if your in a Fighter jet than THATS hard.
@@MonkeyManChris ACLS exists, the aircraft will quite literally land itself with the hook on the third wire every time.
@@notalexzander2 that doesn’t mean it isn’t done manually. If there’s autopilot cars, do all cars drive themselves?

When they turn at high speed they reach 6-7 g-force
Jet noise, hell yeah! Most of us love that! Thanks for no stupid musical sound track.
+jonesy97 I think the same thing! :D
+jonesy97 It wouldn't be so bad with Top Gun music :)
LOL ugggggggh. grow up
Agree😂👍🏽
You can hear the engines. Love that !
Oh thank god finaly military aircraft videos withou MUSIC hooray
*danger zone plays*
@@Madmario2006 *Megalovania plays
1:21 intense throttle work in order to keep up within formation. Wow.
Good to see video without music. Refueling scenes are great. At 4:10 or so, great to see the pilot's eyes and see where he's looking as he goes through maneuvers.
Nice Video. You can really see the pilot work the throttle to maintain formation!
I have never regretted dropping out of the naval academy as much as I do right now..sigh.
***** Listen, It's personal, but if you must know, I dropped out because I'm the eldest son in my family, and my father handed me the family business when he died, my brothers are too young. I had to sacrifice my dreams for my family.

Tino , at least you dreamed and that’s all that mattered.
@user name taken why talk like that?
@@Train-life-class-323 He's a troll, just leave him alone
I like watching how he works the throttle and controls while maintaining formation.
Yep! that was quality to see. Surprised me how much movement was needed.
Now you can understand just how good the Blue Angels are. Watch them fly!
Hats off to the pilots and flight crews on these aircraft carriers!
That’s some of the clearest video I’ve seen of anything, let alone a jet fighter. 👍🏼
Thank you for sharing! Back camera + raw sound make the best videos.
Keep up the good work Lt. Schmidt.
Both the F-16 and F18 are my favorite jet fighters. Good show
Practice makes perfect !
Great video. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for not ruining it with music. The raw sound, even when there is NO sound, is better than that noise pollution most other videos have on them.
Thank you so much for not adding stupid crappy music to this great video! subbed
+Lean ViperX Indeed, thank you a lot for not adding music. One of the best i've ever seen
Best job in the world. Hopefully this is where I end up, I'll be applying to Navy OCS after college in a year and a half.
It's been 2 years, how'd it go?
You apply?

Imagine if you are doing that and a SAM gets fired on you
This reminds of the BF3 mission Going Hunting
TRQG Yeah, battlefield 3 used regular hornets in that mission though.
Great footage!
I like how his callsign is dip.
I like that.

I feel so good for these pilots, hopefully, I will do their job one day.
This is what make me want to be a fighter pilot.
black color of the cabin, relaxes and calms, so that it is not so scary to die

Admit you’re here because of Top Gun : Maverick
No idea pilots worked the throttle that much either. Is that mostly in tight manuevers and formation flight?
Kick ass video.
They use the throttle instead of the stick for correct onspeed AoA, less power = pitch down more power = pitch up. It's used a lot for formations too unless ATC is engaged.
Pretty cool angle to see the cockpit from 2:02 to 2:39
Flying these planes look like much harder than I thought

That last bump on takeoff seems kinda violent
Love footage like this.
Damn that jolt when it leaves the carrier, almost seemed to break his neck.
That's gotta be an awesome site for those pilots. Nothing but ocean water as far as the eye can see.
Many thanks, great show.
Nice video.. All business! Carry on....
1. I'm amazed how loud that cockpit is inside. 2. I thought fighter pilots wore gloves during flight.
Well the helmet provides enough protection from the noise. And yes some do wear them and some don't. It's a choice.
Awesome!!!
He makes that look so easy.
Why would you want to Watch the Movie Top Gun anymore ?
These guys are the Best!!

thank you for sharing and grts from Belgium i ould love to take the ride even if i will feel sick :-)
In the greek air force the pilots are in a constant alert, checking ID planes, policing, etc. One MFD is in constant use with AA radar. Also i find the F-16 avionics more intuitive. Whats your take on this?
The f-16 doesn't have the stick in the middle it's on the right
pepe carlson this is an F/A-18, not F16
OMG theres a hand puffs out @ 4:29

Why does their head always violently go forward like that on takeoff from a carrier? Right when they get to the end.
OMG the noise. Now I understand why they developed supersonic jet fighter!
+ahadicow Thats formation flying. gotta keep matched on leader and tucked in tight!
Ive always been interested in this question. When Ejecting what happens to Coms Link and Oxygen Link thats attached to the aircraft.
Lee Howling the detach....

It’s like a launch from the battle star Galactica.
Where does the OBDII sensor go on that thing?
great footage and no crap music yea!!! but why the intermittent sound ( jet noise )
Sweet!
Seems like the pilot can wiggle the stick quite a bit without the plane responding
I’m a noob obviously. Just looks odd to me
