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.
I’ve seen you guys fly through the gorge and it’s fucking amazing!!!! You guys also flew right over our heads when I was fishing at Jameson lake last October. My grandpa was up from Idaho so I took him fishing and it was perfect because he was in the navy and he absolutely loves planes!!!
James Bookwalter Every year here in Brisbane Australia they have an even called River Fire and they get a couple jets to low pass near the city buildings and over the river for the whole city to see. Epic
FA-18’s and F35’s( I think F35’s, I am 100% sure about the F18’s. fly over my school and house all the time. Well I mean our Air station is like 5 miles away.
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.
Of all the professions in the world, I have the most respect for the military pilot. Being able to deal with the number and speed of inputs and outputs they have at any given time while tracking an enemy to take out before they take you out is utterly amazing and takes heaps of courage with a level head.
"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!
Love you guys - had the privilege of spending 48 hrs with you guys - facebook.com/yruasphoto/photos/a.517911361664350.1073741872.104473416341482/649854115136740/?type=1&theater
+Ariel Droger Yes it's definitely possible to fly with the forces as a civilian you can start by contacting the commanding officer for the blue angels or the thunderbirds there's a waiting list for things like this but as long as you're patient enough and respectful enough to wait on the list and you can pass a Naval and or Air Force physical and background check they fly civilians on a regular basis. The jets belong to the tax payers of the United States.
+Bryan Everson Where did you hear that from? I heard those rides are only for celebrities and people that report the media. Can you post any links to support your information?
That's awesome footage of some recognizable places! I used to fly those training routes in Washington State when I was in the National Guard. I also worked for an aircraft manufacturer for my civilian career and would spend time in those areas apart from the military. Beautiful area if you can get up there and a ton of fun for low level work.
In the early 80’s I flew an F-4D down (up) the Colorado river from Yuma to the Grand Canyon, never going higher than 1,000’ AGL. We weren’t allowed to fly below the rim of the Grand Canyon…we didn’t have cool cameras back then…I did have my aviator’s.
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!
Looks like a day over Washington State from NAS Whidbey. The terrain includes Islands, Cascades, Columbia River, Dams, lakes, rivers, the Desert and Coulees too.
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.
These two guys humor is through the roof with those callsigns. When you have the ability to do what they do you don't always have to have a cool name LOL.
I'm usually disappointed when people put music on these videos over the sounds of the aircraft, but Lyndsey Stirling? You got my vote chief, excellent work on all counts! 🤙🏻 🍻
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.
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!
Come on guys! Can't very well put SHIT on the helmet it now can we. Most likely the pilot exclaimed SHIT!!! one to many times so his nick name became POOP. It's not for us anyway it's between the pilots.
Dope vid man, I'm 17 from the UK and fly gliders and I'd love to be a fighter pilot in the RAF one day. I know that you're USAF but would you say that people with fixed wing experience are given any advantage choice wise, as I'd hate to go through basic training and then end up being put into rotary aircraft. Also did you have any aviation background before joining the airforce?
Having previous aviation experience doesn't hurt. It will make basic concepts of flying easier to pick up. But it's not s requirement. The military will teach you from squad one
Hehe poop his helmet says poop hehehe sorry that amused me lol :P Also great choice in music Lindsey Stirling is amazing! :D along with this video so beautifully cool! :)
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.
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.

BEST JOB IN THE WORLD
nah. it prolly get boring after awhile.
Agree 100%. Best job hands down
Isn’t part of their job to fight for their lives and country. Therefore kill others?
DeathBorn the only people they kill are isis in Afghanistan. Those aren’t really people tho more like animals.
But when battle start its not
This is special man, don't ever take this job for granted!
Also love the 80' s mustache!

Coulee / coulée: A trench like river bed. From the French word couler meaning, to flow. It even has a wiki page.
Actually I think it's out by north Carolina
They took off from Portland international airport. There is an air national guard base there. I see them fly out of there a lit.
Met up with friend last night from the Canadian airforce who used to fly the F18 and the GR4 Tornado "what a life" loved the video edit 👏👏👌
People in the woods: *what the hell is happening up there?*
A humble perspective from the cockpit,
Yet such a fearsome perspective from the ground.
That right there is life at its best. You have seen the world in the best way possible
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
