All about Naval Flight Officers (ep. 188)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 апр 2024
- Most people can readily explain what a #pilot is and does, but what about a Radar Intercept Officer, Bombardier / Navigator, or Tactical Coordinator?
On this episode, FPP friend and occasional cohost Matt "Flounder" Arny, former RIO-turned WSO, explains the world of Naval Flight Officers--what they are, how they're trained, what they do, and how far up the promotion ladder they can go.

Nothing but huge respect for Naval Flight Officers. My buddy was a navigator on a P-3 before becoming a Tacco. He used to always joke NFO stood for No Future Occupation, quipping at least pilots can get an airline gig.
West Coast RIO here. Thanks for telling "Goose's" story here!
You're welcome. 😎
Great Episode Jello!!! When I was at VFA-122, we used to joke to never trust an even set of anchors in the F/A-18F!! Keep up the great work with all of the information you present!
Loved this! Matt is a friend and we are coaching youth football together. 👏
NFO here. While I met a few pilot members of the 'Fo Flux Flan, for the most part we respected our individual mission responsibilities and operated as a team...
Haven't seen Flounder in some time, great seeing him again. Keep up the great work on the Podcast.
My impression is the Navy treats pilots and NFOs much more equally/fairly than the Air Force does its pilots and CSOs. As a Bone WSO, definitely felt like 2nd class citizen.
“Hoot” Gibson would be a good guy to get on. F-4, F-14, Space shuttle pilot. Great career.
As Matt Arny said..."Hopefully interesting to the listener"
As I say...mission accomplished
This was great to watch, you guys are great - my uncle was an F14 Rio on the Jolly rogers in the 90's "mogli" with his pilot "stiffy" ... god i miss the call signs from back in the days LOL
love the podcast keep up the great work Gents
Great job as always. Loved the topic and guest. That was quite the career, hats off to his wife.
Arny’s core ideals are adorable. As a Growler pilot it was great to deploy, get on station, and fly off the boat just about every day. Go share those with the “dunnage specialists”
I love your podcasts, so great to listen to. Ow and thank you for showing the breviation and explaining it.
I remember signing contract as an NFO with the Marines about 15 years ago. Its a really interesting job.
Just signed and got accepted an OCS slot for SNA in the marines !! Semper Fi family
Great video!
Love these podcasts...
As an EP-3E NFO, we joked about the anchor-deficient SAMR (Single Anchor Master Race) in VQ-1 and VQ-2.
I understand the EP-3 are being retired
@@FlyingDutchmanPodcast Yes, but I can't recall if the last squadron (VQ-1) is getting disestablished this year or next. Hopefully they'll make a broad invite to the ceremony since I'm here on Whidbey.
@@timgeist1450perhaps one day you would like to be a guest on my show? Not looking for spy stuff I like the human story and the journey from first interest in aviation to where are ya now or going discussion
Great interview with the NFO mission and opportunities. Fly Navy! ⚓✈️⚓💪 Beers to you 🍺🍻
Twice the anchors, twice the equipment where it counts (for both the dudes and dudettes). #1 NFO rule is to always make fun of pilots (easy) because, as certain as the firmness of the earth, pilots are gonna make fun of you! Fight's on!
Great stuff, Jello. With this camera angle, I always feel like you're 8 feet tall compared to guests. Maybe they just all slump :) Keep up the great work and thank you for your service. God bless.
lol... NFO - when the Department of the Navy has the funds to use Officers instead of Enlisted. Yep, I was an Aircrewman - SH-60B Crewman
👽👽👽👽dealing with 🙈solar eclipse and 🙊alien invasion is too hard on my 🙊civilian brain👽👽👽👽
...and that applies to this subject how?
👍
As a dissenting opinion from the guy in front, Sometimes referred to as the stick monkey, Just curious as to why the pilot of an f and g model gets paid the same as the pilot of an e model? Just make sense that the e model driver should get paid the same as both of the crewmen since he's doing exactly the same work as the f model for sure.
Yeah, that's not how ot works.
