I was with them when the Bats received their very first F-18D in the transition from the Intruders. Our sister squadron was 121 who I see are now flying the F-35's. Damn how the years can fly by.
So you were at El Toro back then. Me too. I flew the C models first with VMFA-314, then later transitioned to the D model in 121. They gave up the "AW" and the Hornet and took the F-35B. The Marines are taking the B and C model 35's. I'm still sad they let El Toro close. That was a great duty station and an awesome area to fly in. Every time we came in over Dana Point at 4000 for our standard programmed radar descent, it was awesome...
I was in 121, I recall the bat's being the joke of miramar, stealing 9 of our jets, and 3 from 225. Then turning around and claimed in the Marine Corps Times that they "worked so hard to get their aircraft ready" for their first combat deployment since Vietnam... Although I will admit, it was a pretty cool video.
One thing so pretty about the F/A-18 is that when there is a camera facing the pilot and he starts doing a high G turn you can see that vapor on the wings.
OOH-RAH SIR, SEMPER FI AND GREAT VIDEO!!! Miss the Corps like crazy! My first duty station was El Toro when it was still open. Was there from 92-late 95 before heading down to 11thMar. Miss sitting by the flight line and watching the 18's take off.
I agree with you, but they usually make these videos for their award banquets and stuff. These videos aren’t generally made for RUclips. They just get uploaded to RUclips as an afterthought after they are shown at the intended event.
Wow good catch! 8:50. I saw AIM9M, AIM9X, GBU31, GBU12, MK82, AGM88, and GBU39 SDB maybe? But didnt catch that AIM7. Probably just getting rid of them in training, I'm pretty sure we dont "actually" use them anymore. Replaced by the AIM120 obviously.
Zkay360 When any object breaks the sound barrier, the air/water around him gets compressed and as i said before that makes the effect, is basically the same as i said before, but when you turn in a jet, the water is compressed against the jet (Beacouse of aeronidamics), and when breaking the sound barrier, the water is compressed against all directions.
+T-ShoT Radioo the music is by Skillet and this was an older album which is titled by this song , called Collide. Listen to their current music, they are better than most bands out there.
The whole syntax is wrong. Corrected examples: The F-22 is landing, not taking off, in the background. Open your eyes jackass, it is landing. Based on my observation, the F-22 appears to be landing.
GREAT video. I am an airplane junkie, and LOVE plane videos. Been working on F/A-18's (EVERY SINGLE MODEL) for over 25 years, and it never gets old. All of that being said, I was a carrier based sailor, and calling this a "cruise" is a long shot. Going to Kadena for a few months IS a deployment, but not a cruise. Sorry for being nitpicky.
no shit... living on the boat, for anyone E6 and below, is so much more miserable than deployment to any base, never mind the work hours. I never saw less than 12 hours every day CV-43 was underway (VF-21, fire control/avionics shop, F-4N and S)plus a watch every fourth. If we were prepping for a missile shoot or doing carquals or workups it was usually 16-18 hour days. Deployment to any shore facility was usually like a vacation, though some variables could change that. If we went to Nellis or Yuma in summer and the aircrews got stupid and turned on their radars on the deck, we got real fucking busy. "we wanted to check to see if the systems were up before takeoff" WELL YA MADE SURE THEY AREN'T NOW.
My opinion, as the Proud Father of 3 NCOs + 2 Officers in our Armed Services; based upon the limited information provided by Our Own Government and Our Own Military Services: It is illogical, unethical, unconscionable, extremely dangerous & unproductive (in the short as well as the long term, i.e. tactically & geopolitically), horrendously painful and costly to OUR Families + Our Soldiers + Our Own Beloved United States of America. We are creating our own brand of “Los Desaparecidos” in the form of Innocent Human Beings at/nearby/distant to targeted sites + targeted countries (I refer to our government policy of bombing, attacking, and unilateral sanctioning of countries and/or territories against which we have NOT DECLARED WAR; regarding which most United States Citizens are either A) uninformed + ignorant + apathetic, or B) voluntarily ingest viscously toxic, visually seductive, leftist-leaning, supremely sophisticated and controlled propaganda generated by massively wealthy special interests and labeled “Breaking News” and/or “Insightful Journalism”.) Why have we done so little to defend the First Amendment, what was once considered The First Pillar of the constitutional foundation upon which our once-beloved Bill of Rights has prospered for over 200 years? I suspect that we ourselves have bombed the once-viable protections of our own future in these United States of America. Semper Fi, USA!
My other 2 brothers are in the Air Force. Thank you for all you do behind enemy lines and proving that USAF and Marines are BADASS

Small world! I live right by El Toro! Wasn't very old when the station was active though, so I don't remember it much :(
My happiness peaked when Metallica "all nightmare long" started playing.
I do love the sight of afterburners!
That is one SLICK video.....The marriage of You Tube and Go-Pro once again opening new worlds !

I agree with you, but they usually make these videos for their award banquets and stuff. These videos aren’t generally made for RUclips. They just get uploaded to RUclips as an afterthought after they are shown at the intended event.
Semper Fi Marines from an old Harrier jockey.

I am so jealous of you guys. This was my dream from age 5. Sadly, color deficiency grounded me for the rest of my life. :(

At least you tried instead of ruking yourself out. "Make them tell you no!"
Woooaaaauuu nice guys i need more i need more
I wish they would cut the music and let us clearly listen to comms and awesome jet sounds!!!
razorseal >awesome jet sounds
So what essentially sounds like a vacuum cleaner
これってもしかして岩国基地の！？

lol hey I was there with you guy, I was there with the f-22s
What sort of music I like the 2nd song.
can anyone tell me the name of the song??
What song is the title song
Air to Air refueling looks like it would be 10x easier in an F-18 vs other jets like the F-16, F-15, F-22...
Переносчики демократии
waow, still using 7M Sparrows...? thats 80' style
Wow good catch! 8:50. I saw AIM9M, AIM9X, GBU31, GBU12, MK82, AGM88, and GBU39 SDB maybe? But didnt catch that AIM7. Probably just getting rid of them in training, I'm pretty sure we dont "actually" use them anymore. Replaced by the AIM120 obviously.
American Luftwaffe
I can see emo kids watching this video thinking this music is absolutely hard core....
Someone could tell me what is the name of the song that enpiesa in the minute 4:41
What is name of the songs after 8 min?
I want to see Rick
Anyone know the name of the song playing between 6:49 and 7:52?

Josh Fisher Yeah it's in Japan.
MCAS Iwakuni

Anberlin- the feel good drag 3:30
cover of video
i mean ///
sparks of volcano over training attol
What song is on 8:25?
Excuse my ignoracy. Can anyone explain me why is there like a kind of steam/smoke when the pilots turn?
That's condensed water, i don't know english very well, but i can say that water molecules of the air gets compressed and form this type of effect
Your english seems fine to me :P
Thank you a lot though!
Zkay360 No problem :D
By the way. What's that cone taht you see when a jet goes at the speed of sound?
Zkay360 When any object breaks the sound barrier, the air/water around him gets compressed and as i said before that makes the effect, is basically the same as i said before, but when you turn in a jet, the water is compressed against the jet (Beacouse of aeronidamics), and when breaking the sound barrier, the water is compressed against all directions.
قفلنا خلاص البرنامج

Cool video. However, the music absolutely sucks!
Agreed. There's got to be something more creative than pure unintelligible screaming.
+Sonny Dean just don't watch the video instead of being negative
+T-ShoT Radioo the music is by Skillet and this was an older album which is titled by this song , called Collide. Listen to their current music, they are better than most bands out there.

Germans are fucking socialist liberals.
Farzana Patel
Then what ? Where is the problem. Fucking conservative moron.
Airframes represent! Being in the Bats was totally the greatest part of my career.
F-22 taking off in background at 2:27.
if you open your eyes, you can see that's landing
TheLastWTF Gaming I think you are right but I would rather be wrong about that than be illiterate.
English isn't my main language, but please tell me where I'm illiterate...
TheLastWTF Gaming *that it's landing..
The whole syntax is wrong.
Corrected examples:
The F-22 is landing, not taking off, in the background.
Open your eyes jackass, it is landing.
Based on my observation, the F-22 appears to be landing.
Why does the music always have to be shit with these videos. I just mute my computer when I watch these most of the time.
+hotmojoe. congrats!
Mills117 ye thx bruh. i wuz givin advic 2 teh othr h8rz
LOVE MY AWESOME MILITARY!
我也爱！i love too!
In Jesus' name you're healed.
Ask the Holy Spirit into your heart and life.
КЛАСС!!!!
I still can't believe that there is actually planes that are fighting in the sky, with bombs, and guns. IT'S REALLY COOL
I remember this squadron when I was at MCAS EL Toro back in the 1995.
when you left they were lost so they closed the base...took over Miramar.
GREAT video. I am an airplane junkie, and LOVE plane videos. Been working on F/A-18's (EVERY SINGLE MODEL) for over 25 years, and it never gets old.

"Womp Rat" is gettin' me triggered... Hell yeah Super Hornets!!! put some USMC in there too
I stop watching the video because of the lousy music.
