I was accepted to become a pilot for the Army 🇦🇺 six years ago, did two years of the training but gave it all up for a girl who later left me. I still curse myself damn near every day for it - single greatest mistake of my life. Much love from across the pond, praise all fighting men and women.
This unit is the exact unit that got me into military aviation back when I was 4 years old... I was on a family hike, as I was sitting on my dad's shoulders and I remember hearing this terrifying screaming sound coming from the woods by Rimrock lake in the Cascade mountains. Next thing I know as I look up I see two F-18s scream across the sky at tree top level. That image and that sound is and always will be engrained in my memory. I'm 26 now and serve in the Washington Air National Guard.
Thank you so much for sharing all of this footage with us. Flying fighter jets and especially F-18 Hornets was my dream from age 5 until 27 no joke. I was originally going to go into OCS in 1996, then 1997, and then lastly in the 1998 time period. Unfortunately, chronic problems with university academics (I admit that I was slow), working part time, eyes going bad from computer use almost constantly writing university essays, and then having the cherry on the cake of finally being able to afford and have time to start flight lessons and getting a miserable flight instructor wreaked havoc on my ability to apply to Naval Aviation. This is one of those jobs that I am absolutely convinced one must have more than God helping to achieve it, especially fighters like the F-18. You got it brother. You have whatever it is mentally, physically, or whatever to achieve that. For what it is worth from a complete stranger on you tube, God bless you and all the happiness and safety to you throughout your career. You earned it and we civilians are so proud of you for protecting us.
Actually, I have. I spent 21 years in the Navy. I've flown backseat in a TA-4 Skyhawk, a T-38 Talon and an F-18 Hornet. That list doesn't include the many other military fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters that I've flown in. Don't be so quick to judge.
"Fister" "Poop" Welcome to the Navy! Should show this to any kid who gets called "Poop" by schoolyard bullies, show how awesome a guy called Poop can be!
I live in the area and have seen either you guys or two like you fly over the bridge. One time I was riding my bike back from out of state in April and I saw two F/18's fly so low over the bridge while I was sitting at the station gassing up my bike. It was amazing! I loved riding my bike through the area, I can only imagine what it would be like to fly over the same lakes. I wont mention the area. Thank you for your service!
Hey there! I'm hoping to get into Marine Aviation through the OCS program. I'd love to fly a fixed wing fighter. If you've got the time, would you happen to have an tips or pointers on getting through the difficult parts of the process to becoming a pilot? Sorry, for the random question. I don't know anybody else I can talk to about this kind of thing. Thanks!
Stacy can comment more on TBS (the basic school, i.e. Marine corps officer boot camp) but past that the pilot training pipelines are the same, I had several marine pilots in my flight school class. For the sake of time and space this will cover a lot. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Naval_Aviator so give that a read. But getting through flight school is all about attitude and hard work. Showing people you want to be there and want to learn. Also my opinion is don't be afraid to tell people what you want to fly. If it's helicopters tell them that, if it's jets, tell them that. People are more inclined to help you get there. Some people disagree and say tell people you're open to fly whatever. Which is fine if you're not sure what you want. But if you do know, go for it. Bottom line- you'll love anything the military will pay you to fly. It's the best job in the world
Thank you very much for the response. At this point, I'm just trying to gather all the information I can. From what I've heard it can be quite tricky to become a pilot or naval aviator. I believe that I am mentally and physically capable of being a fighter pilot, I just worry that I'll make a mistake somewhere along the line and sign myself up for the wrong thing before I get a chance to prove myself. Once again, I appreciate the response.
You guys and the Canadians would come wake us up at flight school in Moses Lake, few very low passes over the flight dorms with the cans lit. loved it.
fucking jets are awesome man. In my opinion one of the most advanced technologies that humans have created 👌 I wanna ride in one. I live in Houston, Texas
Epic Snoop Shoot for the Air Force academy. Ellington air base is in Houston, see if you can get a tour or something, my uncle worked their and I got to sit in an f-16.
I was looking for my house the whole time. I live in the high mountain desert about 3-400 miles from an Air Force base, and these guys train over us year round. One guy even got in trouble for drawing a big penis in the sky last year.
Regarding the "POOP", I would imagine it is in reference to flying low. There is a saying similar to: "I fly lower than snake shit." Perhaps this aviator is not that talented yet, but is getting close, having reached the level of cat shit.
All military's fly active duty planes. Even in Europe they fly active duty military jets while European forces have less than America, America has always had a large military since WW1 and we haven't let it decay to much in fear of having to raise another large army on short notice.
I was just wondering if it was "commercialized," like someone can pay to ride or even if it was the Blue Angels. Russia you can pay to ride in decommissioned Migs. I just was curious if this was training flights of the Air Force or Navy. Stuff like this used to be very rare.
Ben Clark This would likely have been a training exercise, now there is a slight chance you could pay to have a trained professional pilot fly you, of course they would never let some one do it on their own for clear and obvious reasons. Not to mention these are F-18's and are still in active service.
Thank you for your service! Absolutely bad ass stuff and I always loved knowing when you guys were above while overseas. It’s an amazing thing to have you guys on our side. Thank you!
Yes, what the heck was with that editing. It was almost like an old iPod shuffle, where bits of video were just randomly stuck together in no perceptible order.
Average Alien With a long fly, if they want to pee, how can they do? It is a kind of science that I don't know and want to know. That's all. And what is wrong with you? Does no one tell you how to say polite thing to stranger?
Ninja VN you gotta hold poo, or bring a trash bag, wipes and a positive mental attitude... Peeing is much easier (for men)- they have bags that have crystals in them, when you pee in the bag, it turns to gelatin. Women peeing is a mystery to me.
We need two different categories of aviation related video. Those with music, and those for purist who would rather enjoy watching a video with just jet audio (including MIC) and not distracting noise. Sorry, just my opinion.
the wings on this are designed to keep the craft straight & level & wing changes to produce movement, whether lift or drag or turns, not necessarily lift.

that song was written for Tomcats not Hornets, and its still TOMCAT song....
the song in this vid is fire though 🔥
3:53 sun glasses inside a helmet, Just WOW!
Could you imagine the Conversation between him and his neighbors!
😏"Hey Phil, like my new Corvette!"
😌" Hey Bob, like my new F-18!"

It's not his F-18. Just sayin'.
Bet you can't drop it as low as I can on BF4

It's a good thing you played music that way I couldn't hear the planes.
got that right--the stupid bastards!
The inside of the jet is pretty quiet. A camera wouldn't pick up much sound
Quiet? Like you have been in one. LOL
Actually, I have. I spent 21 years in the Navy. I've flown backseat in a TA-4 Skyhawk, a T-38 Talon and an F-18 Hornet. That list doesn't include the many other military fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters that I've flown in. Don't be so quick to judge.
you are full of SHIT. The only think you sat in the navy was the latrine
"Fister" "Poop" Welcome to the Navy! Should show this to any kid who gets called "Poop" by schoolyard bullies, show how awesome a guy called Poop can be!
"What do you do for work?"
"I fly a multi million dollar war machine"
"So badass."
This is special man, don't ever take this job for granted!
Also love the 80' s mustache!
Those are some incredible machines.
doused by the incredible music.
Strap on your POOP helmets! this is gana be a wild ride.
Just watched. Fantastic flight and Music. It's now in my Favorite's. Thank You so much for Your Dedication and Service.
I read that the worse the nickname of the pilot, usually the better they are.
Poop must be a legend.
Wow i fall in love with this f18 aircraft... Love it

Respect from Russian pilots! nice flight....beautiful....if I was a us air force pilot, I'd like to fly the F-18... good luck guys!
Great footage!
Love Lindsey Sterling!
That right there is life at its best. You have seen the world in the best way possible
Damn I used to listen to this song all the time
Lindsey stirling- cristalize
I wish to do that once …must be the best feeling ever we can imagine...love it and music ...great
These guys have the best job in the world!!
Coolest job.... Period. Loved the music overlay.... “Crystallize” by Lindsey Stirling
Marine Aviation (F/A - 18D) here. I've seen some funny callsigns... But how did POOP become your callsign? Lol
Stacy Davis poop is our squadrons FNG equivalent. It's the most worthless part of a dog
Thomas Flynn Ohhhhh. Haha.

Tom Cruise got inspiration for Top Gun 2 from watching this.
Awesome 👍 Superb👌 Fully Enjoyed 👏
Nothing better than hearing these guys coming up the canyon and then blowing over your canoe on Lake Kachees.
You know you are very special, when you are piloting one of mans greatest machine? And you get to see all this scene....
Wow! I really admire your unique skillset guys! Well done.
Great video... There is no better job in the world than a jet fighter pilot. I was jet fighter crew in the Air Force and loved it. F15A model.
Anyone else notice his helmet says poop at 1:23
Not only is it on his helmet, its his call sign.
Because he's the shit
B/c he can fly lower than snake shit
Me
This was beautiful!!!
Epic shots folks! Thanks for sharing. The dream I never got to do brought to life for me by y'all!
*HIIIIGHWAY TOOO THE DANGERZONE*
Revving up your engine;
La la la la something roar;
Metal under tension;
Something something touch and go-ho.
HIIIIWAAY TOOO THE DANGER ZONE!
But there called FISTY AND POOP
Likely the best aviation video ever put out there.
You guys and the Canadians would come wake us up at flight school in Moses Lake, few very low passes over the flight dorms with the cans lit. loved it.
When the airframe shutters,Soo cool.coming Frome a jet mech.
This will forever be the most badass video on youtube
❤ it with this song! Great choice and great video! Grateful for videos like these 🦅 until I have my own wings 😆😊
I had the most serious face on then when I saw the helmet at 0:51 I fell out of my chair laughing.
Haahhahahah poop
The world's pilot and...the reasons of the existence💘
I was pilot F5 in Vietnam war

Really??Plz reply sir!!!
how does the targeting by lasers done?
how does the targeting by lasers done?
I was a u2 spy plane pilot during the battle of hastings
@@lukeysharp94 can you answer me how targeting done
For anyone thinking what music this is in the background its Lindsey sterling crystallise
Thanks for saying 😊 but isn't it sounds like playing with tide in some places??
Love the music! Also, I don't get to hear F18 often and would love to hear that sound. Either way thanks for sharing.
fucking jets are awesome man. In my opinion one of the most advanced technologies that humans have created 👌 I wanna ride in one. I live in Houston, Texas
Epic Snoop Shoot for the Air Force academy. Ellington air base is in Houston, see if you can get a tour or something, my uncle worked their and I got to sit in an f-16.
You can pay to fly a jet trainer. There are many in private hands.
Epic Snoop dude you aight after Harvey?
Gotta watch it again. Probably as much for the audio (Crystallize) as anything else.
Great music, great video. Thank you!
I was in the Lake District a few years back and I remember two F18s fly only 100ft of the surface of the water aha
Angela Rooney im not
Angela Rooney it's actually a famous photo. Search for f-18 low level and you will see them get as low as 50ft agl
Ryan M. Nope, he’s lying. The US Air Force aren’t allowed to fly that low in the uk, they get fucked for it.
Absolutely incredible example of what humans are capable of when they work together.
Очень красиво, я даже завидую пилотам)
Now that's some awesome background music youtubers take note!!
Wonderful music. Best job in the world.
I'd like to know how the Callsign 'Poop' emerged...
Might wanna ask his friend Fisty.
The freedom. The thrill. The rise to excellence. The pride. Hats off to those who protect us at all levels of commitment.
Bravo with Lindsey Sterling playing in the background 🙏🏼
I was looking for my house the whole time. I live in the high mountain desert about 3-400 miles from an Air Force base, and these guys train over us year round. One guy even got in trouble for drawing a big penis in the sky last year.
What the fuck
Jeffrey David just wanted to say these pilots are the navy not air force those where F-18
The Angels on our shoulders. Thank you.
SEMPER FIDELIS.
Change the music for the actual sounds of the jet and you got a winner
J Krash I agree
The inside of the jet is pretty quiet. A camera wouldn't pick up much sound.
Regarding the "POOP", I would imagine it is in reference to flying low. There is a saying similar to: "I fly lower than snake shit." Perhaps this aviator is not that talented yet, but is getting close, having reached the level of cat shit.
Wow amazing. I get deja vu of Tie Fighter footage Star Wars.
0:52 it says "Poop" on the back of this helmet... lol
Panther Poop.
I'm a little late to the party but this was magical to watch.
this vid motivated me all the way thru high school
Lindsey Stirling violon music on a F-18 video i love it
I apologize for this question in advance, I'm very ignorant on the subject, but are these jets AF active duty planes?
All military's fly active duty planes. Even in Europe they fly active duty military jets while European forces have less than America, America has always had a large military since WW1 and we haven't let it decay to much in fear of having to raise another large army on short notice.

To answer Ben's question, F/A-18E's are flown by the US Navy. The USMC has older "Legacy" hornets.

Would be good without the constant camera cuts
Hehheh buoi
100% agree
Well hes a fighter pilot, not a photographer.. so..
Yes, what the heck was with that editing. It was almost like an old iPod shuffle, where bits of video were just randomly stuck together in no perceptible order.

Ninja VN same way astronauts do
But with a small space in an aircraft, how can a pilot do it? Does it need any special equipment directly connect to their .... ?
Ninja VN Ever peed in a bottle on a road trip? Just imagine that bottle with scent nutrilizing crystals at the bottom.
Never saw freedom fly so low. Majestic.
Tip - do not use soundtrack - let the sounds of the jet, who wants to hear like the engine and not a boring background music .. Thanks
Liked before even watching.. still no regrets
I flew one of these today. It is so so so fun! You guys then don't know what you are missing! Then my computer crashed....
Music is wonderful👍🏻
We need two different categories of aviation related video. Those with music, and those for purist who would rather enjoy watching a video with just jet audio (including MIC) and not distracting noise. Sorry, just my opinion.
Wow wow wow! Thank you for this!!
Genuinely awesome video 👌
Fantastics pilots !!hugs from Italy 🇮🇹
all I see is fod in the cockpit, lol nice flying though.
Jorge Echeverri there is no way fod from in the cockpit will get into the intake while this bird is moving
Great clip, might use the music for my next paragliding movie. Restecp!
