Over here in the US the interstate highways are constructed with the Eisenhower Interstate System. In times of war sections of every highway are purposely straight for emergency airstrips.
I understand that for every five miles of interstate, there has to be a mile of absolutely straight flat interstate. The Eisenhower Plan. Civilian planes have had to use the interstate as a landing strip in times of emergency. Ike got the idea from the German Autobahn during WWII.
This goes on for training all over Europe. While in Germany there were designated areas of the autobahn that we would occasionally do practice landings on certain areas along the autobahn.
I worked on these in the U S Navy. Our CO once got bitched out for doing 600 in a 250 zone. He went straight back out and did it again that same day.😂😂

One of my most recurring and terrifying nightmares the last 40 years involves this exact scenario and my heart raced a little just watching this. In my dreams I can never clear the electric lines or trees. Nowadays I just force myself awake before even moving down the highway. “Nope, not this time. No way!!” The day I clear those trees and wires will probably be when I do a final check-out of my hospice room.
Get well soon buddy. I have nightmares too, just to let you know. Not the only one sweaty morning welcomes better day than today. Stay well and take care...

Driven on some of these roads in winter. The special runways add another dimension as the highway suddenly gets wider and the road lanes aren't as obvious! Great idea to have a bunch of cheap runways around.
@@Roboprogs Even navy planes need a catch line to stop in time. Pilot training works up to a point but you can't exceed the limits of the aircraft and expect to live.
@@tomkjr1 from what I have seen (videos) the tail hook and arresting lines stop the planes in about 30 to 40 yards/meters? Perhaps F18s can brake in a few hundred meters (a quarter mile on a highway is not much space to find a straight and clear section.
F18s are popular with Northern countries because the airfields are frozen and the F18s landing gear is reinforced . Only the U.S. lands F18s on aircraft carriers .
It's been done. One of the best things about the Panavia Jaguar fighter bomber was the ability to operate from roads, and there are videos on YT of it doing just that. The F-18 here should be capable of the same thing but it appears they were not setup on the ground for landing. Which begs the question of how the plane got to the takeoff point. But anyway, was all done because NATO assumed Russia would bomb all the airbases the moment a war started. And they would. So the roads were supposed to be an alternative. The problem is, the Russians just added all the suitable roads to the target list. Now what?
Expect great things from the Finns. They took a plane that was rejected by us (Americans) and many others as underperforming, and used one of them to set the record for the most planes ( 40 some odd) shot down by one plane, the Brewster Buffalo.
Actually the Brewster Buffalo was a better airplane than what the "experts" who criticized it claim. It was good enough that even the Japanese during WW2 re-used the ones they captured. What many people do not consider is HOW a weapon is used and only obsess over the specs. For example, the Japanese A6M Zero was superior in flight characteristics to all US fighters from 1941 to 1943, but the US fighter pilots were still able to shoot down Zeros. it is the tactics with which the weapon system is used that makes or breaks it.
F-18 is inferior aircraft in comparison with F-16 ..shorter range, much worse dynamic performance including max speed,, cruising speed, acceleration ,rate of climb, dogfight, and is much more expensive. It is importent when you buy thousends of them.
I was going to say the Americans forgot to tell them the landing gear retracts, but there was a couple seconds of footage with the gear up, so I guess they know.
Back in the day, saw an E Jag outrun everything Florida had in it's fleet... clocked over 200 mph on I-4. It was Smokey and the Bandit thing... deliver a case of beer from Tampa to Daytona in one hours time. Female driver...
This is really surprising. Everything that I've seen and read illustrates how important the conditions are for a strip/tarmac that an f-18 uses. As incredible of an engineering feat the f-18 is, apparently its engines are incredibly fragile; thus the takeoff and landing surface must have near perfect conditions (smooth, free of debris, etc.)
Fragile? Smooth surfaces? Why isn't it falling apart on full afterburner or pulling 6g's? The punishment of being catapulted and arrested on a carrier? It's a war plane not a piper cub.
The sound of freedom!! About 1990, A GrandFather said this to his Granddaughter at an air show. She covered her ears as an F-18 took off. The grandfather said why do you cover your ears? The granddaughter responded, that noise. The grandfather responded, that’s not noise, that’s the sound of freedom!! God bless America!!

@@robertphillips93 So THAT'S what he was doing... Touch and go's off of a nice straight section of highway.. That explains why he never retracted his landing gear..

Not anyone gonna to read this but, this is like project wingman when you takeoff a fucking highway. I didn’t know this kind of training existed, I thought it was fiction, but nope it’s real.
Yeah , the bridges on the highway near our SAC Airforce base were specifically distanced so bombers could use the road as runway in an emergency attack scenario.
Plenty of people cared. I got likes. Your country is an absolute shithole. I'm sorry to have to say it, but it is backwards, violent, poor, disease ridden, plus you sheltered Bin Laden, who was an absolute son of a female pig. Besides, Abdouchebag, if nobody cares, as you say, why did you bother to reply? Good luck with the heroin harvest this year.
That’s actually why the highway system was made. It was originally invented by president Eisenhower so in the event of an invasion, aircraft could land on highways, or roads to re-fuel and rearm nearly anywhere.

Lmao. Fuck up.. But true
They were traded for s*it ton of money, but you can have them back soon enough. Finland is going to replace these hornets with 64 new fighters soon.
I have alot of respect for the Finnish as I read many years ago Finland was the ONLY country to paid back the USA for money USA lent them /them incurred in WWII... IIRC.
Regardless of details have alot of respect for them being "Men of their Word", of honor, etc.
beautiful makes it look so easy
what about the risk of FOD?
Nico Montinola Im wondering the same.
The road was probably inspected beforehand, but the Hornet's a tough plane anyway
At my golf course those type of planes do " Touch & Go " quiet often. They could be 3 miles out ,all of a sudden you feel like you're in Vietnam . SOB are FAST. LOL

Who needs traction when you are flying a fucking F-18?
