As a former A-4 pilot who’s done this 100’s of times many moons ago it’s amazing to hear him whether it’s a recovery or tanking evolution etc do these accurate voice overs. What is neat, is his cam and deliberate approach to what he is doing, why and thinking at the time. I can hear myself saying the same things back then. It’s absolutely accurate, the thought process and logic you are using during each evolution around the boat. What is truly amazing is that it’s been over 40 years since I have trapped, and the aircraft have changed. However basic way Naval aviators fly and carrier procedures have not. Well done and thank you.
As an antique former Naval Aviator (1967-1970) I agree. One of the things about the training is it was drilled into us over and over and over. The repetition converted what could be daunting into routine. I distinctly remember my very first trap in a T-28C on the USS Lexington in the fall of 1966, but do not remember specific traps in the TS-2A in Corpus or the S-2E on the USS Randolph and USS Yorktown. I remember the general sequence but not a specific landing as by then it had become routine. I do remember one launch in October, 1967 when we were in the Med. The blackest night I have ever experienced. No moon, no stars, solid overcast. We stepped out onto the flight deck to man aircraft and could not see our feet. I was in the right seat doing all the signals to the cat officer as the pilot in the left seat was on full instruments sitting on the cat. Full instruments for 5 hours.
A4 was absolutely a bad ass jet, sub sonic but whatever so maneuverable. I remember seeing the Blue Angels when they used the A4 do stuff I've only seen modern 5th gen aircraft do now.
I find this very interesting, especially you doing the voice over and explaining every detail what you do when landing and taking off your super hornet. I am an avid fan of modern military and love the navy's super hornets. 👌 I know the older hornets have circular intake, while the update one have rectangular intake and calls themselves "super hornets". Much props to you sir! 👏
is it a super hornet or a growler? both? super hornets are also alot bigger than there older brothers, they have another weapon station on the wing and they have more powerfull blowers, as well as a up dated cockpit with all the fancy stuff. also the hard thing to believe that even thought its bigger its radar cross section is a lot smaller than the legacy. have a good day, sir.
@@waynegriswold8953 The Growler is an electronic warfare attack variant of the Super Hornet, hence it being designated the E/A-18G. They look similar, but the Growler has no nose-mounted gun and a whole lot more wiring and "black box" stuff over the regular Super Hornet for the special functions it performs. Growlers are all two-seaters as well, while Super Hornets have single and dual-seater variants.
These voice-over videos are great ... so much better understanding of what's happening. And it makes me "a little uncomfortable" just watching you taxi on the flight deck. I keep thinking you're going over the edge. Great coordination and discipline between you and the flight deck crew. Thanks for the videos.
In my opinion, the scariest part of carrier ops is taxiing on a dark night on a rolling deck. As with the Growler, the Prowler nosewheel was behind the cockpit, so coming up on the scupper with a big turn needing extra power for the roll was extremely uncomfortable. Even more fun was spinning at the bow where there is no scupper! All you could see was the dark water in front of you. On launch, you can feel a good cat shot, see the airspeed, altitude and rotation. On recovery, you had meatball, line up and AOA. Taxiing, it is pure trust of the flight deck directors...and they are very, very good at it!
Not a fighter pilot never will be. But I learnt so much from this. The amount of discipline and attention to details is unreal, now I can take what I've learnt and translate that to my everyday life. Thank you for sharing this with us. Stay save :)
Sierra Hotel, Pail. I am amazed at how you keep your situational awareness doing 300 knots. That's what Naval aviation is all about, timing, precession flying, angle of attack. This video was extremely informative. I can only imagine how many future Naval aviators will be recruited by watching your skill and talent.. Fly Navy! And I really hope that your command will clear you to post the T-45 videos!
Fly Marine! Get your private pilots license and start getting experience. It’s VERY VERY competitive. You need “jet” grades and the luck to have some jet seats open when you graduate API.
Thanks again Pail for your voice overs👏. What a perfect way for us laymen to fly with you and learn all the interesting details. So it is easier for us to unterstand what's happening and why😉 and we can enjoy your videos even more🙂.
I'm stunned this is cleared...the chicoms have class natops and probably at least every type natops except maybe the super hornet but why give them anything...let them kill themselves figuring it out unclassified or not...I guess the "likes" outweigh the risk? Guess I'll bounce over to watch them do carrier ops...oh wait my social score isn't high enough...ski jump or not they've learned all they need from us and the British already I guess...
What a great illustration of the awesome teamwork of the Navy. So many moving parts. I could feel my stomach tickle as you swung that nose over the side of the boat! 😎
Probably heard it a million times, but as a kid I wanted to be a Naval Aviator, reality set in and I eventually did my work in the Army. However I appreciate you for allowing this old Army dog to sip on a beer and enjoy some memories of my youth. Now I try to get kids to follow their dream at all costs. Thank you Sir.
I've seen videos of landings, etc. And I've heard others talk about what happens during landings. But to see and hear what is happening at the same time is just miles ahead of either of them by themselves. Well done Sir! Please leep 'em coming.
I'm sure everyone will agree that this is hands down the best video of this type. The voiceover really enhances the content and the viewer feels the focus and pressure while watching you get this thing back on the boat. Very cool stuff. Great job! Suggestion for next vid: A night run in inclement weather, second waive off, bingo fuel and you guys bring it in like a boss on try #3. Now that would be the cat's ass!
I can just picture the stress level rising when you are flying this pattern in the winter with heavy snow, turbulence and rough seas with the mother riding up and down, at night.
Of all the in-flight Navy carrier videos on RUclips, yours is the best! I really enjoy the commentary ones because it gives us a education on what is involved in launching, refueling, and trapping.
The calm, cool and collected narration of the play by play was awesome. SO many times, we have seen traps, been told about traps, but this is the fest recollection I have of a play-by-play narrative. Really interesting visual and narration. Keep 'em coming bro.!
Love that you detail the LH downward corkscrew. Now I understand why you're always looking back over your left shoulder. It's busy in your seat. Thank you for your service. I'm an Army brat. Most respect for our our military people. USA!
These explanations are amazing!! I’ve been watching videos of carrier landings for years, but never have I come across one that contained as much information about what is involved in making those landings than this one.
These videos are invaluable for people who want to understand what they're doing in games like DCS. I'm always looking to improve my realism and I just want to say thank you for your service and for doing it for real out there. Awesome stuff.
Awesome, the voiceover is perfect. Been interested in naval aviation all of my life (hours and hours and hours in the "F/A-18 Interceptor" simulator on Amiga 500 in the late 80's 🙂) and it's such a pleasure listening to you explaining everything that's going on, both in the air and on the deck. Thanks!
Glad I found this channel. It sparks a lot of memories, as a plane captain in RVAH-5 (Heavy 5) and VA-66 A-7's aboard U.S.S. Ranger, INDY and IKE. I truly miss the grind!!!
Said it with your other vids but just love the narration. So cool to hear your thought process and all. Would love to hear more about using auto throttles and magic carpet and all that. And as always thank you for your service! Respect the hell out of all you guys!!
That is so cool how he flys over the shop then banks around judging the distance and best angle of attack, true heros in my book, my uncle flew the F4 phantom in Vietnam and I idolized him, thank you all who've served and who serve today, I owe you all my freedoms. 🇺🇸
This is seriously impressing! The precise control of the aircraft in such tight maneuvers and tiny spaces is amazing. I hope people appreciate how difficult this is, especially in foul weather and at night. Thank you very much for the video!
What is so amazing to me is you Navy pilots are so calm when about to land on such a short runway. I think you're new videos are great 👍Navy, where men are men. Fly Navy.
These over the shoulder shots are fantastic - I especially love the narration, i think this is the first video I have seen where this was done this way.
@Growler Jams Fantastic stuff! This stuff blows my mind. I've loved it since I was a child. It's a passion of mine I can't achieve due to Muscular Dystrophy. So, I fly DCS. Your thought process and the physics of the aircraft all become one. I can't imagine what real life is like. BTW, that looked like a "1 wire"? Hard? Love what you men and women do. Keep us safe and keep us proud.
What a great journey. You're the best tour leader ^^ It's crystal clear why you're a GREAT instructor. It took me a while in DCS to realize nose gears are a bit behind the pilot. So now I can manage my panic when parking beside the deck wall :)
Do you make these decisions alone, or are you getting direction from the ship? This voice over is awesome - it is like we are right there with you. Thank you!!
I'm in training to become (without any military background but being a private pilot) a docent at the Midway in San Diego and I find your videos to be very helpful in getting a feel for carrier ops. Thanks for creating them.
Really appreciate all of your content. I learn something new every time. I grew up in the 80s studying diagrams and reading whatever I could about F-14/15/16/18 etc. I was a military aircraft nerd in the extreme. Life took me down a path that did not include flying, but I'm certain that somewhere in a parallel universe, I'm a retired fighter jock 🙂 Thanks for showing us what it's like to fly navy!
Bro…this was as good as the lady that voice overs the people that cook, it’s soothing but just enough to engage us in every step you take to land. 11/10
Awesome explanation. Working Local Control (tower USAF), loved watching various jets enter "the break" and sequencing was always interesting....especially in with the radar final. Thanks!!
Wow, what an interesting video and commentary, especially all the way to parking. My dad was on HMS Eagle and he spoke with much admiration of naval fliers and the conditions and difficulty of carrier landings.
PAIL - I was a USMC Herk pilot, then NAVY P3 Aircraft Commander at Point Mugu . Also like your Dad an AA 727/767/MD89 Ca - great he could fly with you! I can tell you’re an outstanding instructor pilot , skilled and fun . The voiceover is great and gives naval aviators , potential future students AND civilians a wonderful perspective on what it takes ❤
I learn the basic case 1 in DCS World and it is amazing to see a real landing now. Now can i compared my case 1 with a real life case 1 landing. I salute for you sir!
Love it . I’ve never seen what happens after you guys land it’s still a ongoing scary thing to park ur jet looking at ur nose over the ship 1 false move and ur in the ocean. You have me soooo hyped up listening to u as u maneuver that jet into position WOW !!! Awesome I’ve got 2 beers for you thank you
Grower, I am a DCS F-18 sim pilot, your commentating and perspective makes flying my sim so much more enjoyable. My new bucket list is to fly sim wing man with ya!
BIG BIG Thank You, for posting these clips. It is so great watching and listening Case I in real life. There are a lot off DCS-Sim Pilots out there admiring your channel... 🤙🤙
Looking forward to more 'lessons'. Thanks for sharing your talents. Great view and relaxed explanations ie using acronyms and then giving the meaning, ie 'LA'. Noticed instant response to marshal hand signals and absolute faith in their ability. Funny that the scariest moment was the roll towards the edge of "Mom". She does a good impression of an Infinity Pool!
This is really an excellent narration and precise flying . The horizon as banking reference is a demonstration of the smooth touch on your part.. Including the narration presents a complete understanding that is spot on.
Love the voiceover. I've watched your videos before and wondered what exactly was going on (beyond what I could see was happening in the videos). Your voiceover really explains all of the intricacies of what I'm seeing. Thanks...
Love it! So much more with the voice over. I did feel a little anxious when you were so close to the edge of the deck.😬 looking forward to the next one. We appreciate your time and effort that you have put into these videos 💪🏼😎
Growler, that was an awesome ride. We thank you, Sir. Much learned and very appreciated here. as a DCS'er. I fly the F-18 And a couple helos. Watching you perform on video, I compared myself to. And I was surprisingly very close to yours. Not being a real pilot I do make mistakes, but I am getting better at it. Just having patience and confidence in what you can do with the plane is everything. I can't imagine actually being where you are.. WOW. ~S~ Salute to You!. Thank you for your service. Snowman

Too bad the Navys limiting what you can post these voice overs are better than anything anyone elses channels are providing!
I mean it makes sense.
I'm shocked they let him do any of this, but I enjoy it.
With all the UAPs/UFOs zipping around Navy's assets i m not surprised about the censorship

The calm informative voice over really brings this clip to the next level. Might try to replicate this with legacy hornet in DCS later today.

These are incredibly good, especially with your voice over. I can tell you have a real knack for instructing too. Thank you so much for making these!

Love hearing your thoughts as you perform one of the most difficult tasks in the military. Well done.
Thanks for the voiceover. I watch many of these types of videos but you've helped me understand many details and things I often wonder about.
Loved this narrated landing video. So well done. Your students are lucky to have you as their instructor. Thank you.

These over the shoulder shots are fantastic - I especially love the narration, i think this is the first video I have seen where this was done this way.
thanks for the voiceover - the added info, and the sheer scope of what you need to know, is fascinating.
This is one of the greatest talk throughs. I wish there were more about other flights
I have three, soon to be four voiceovers on the channel.
@Growler Jams Fantastic stuff! This stuff blows my mind. I've loved it since I was a child. It's a passion of mine I can't achieve due to Muscular Dystrophy. So, I fly DCS. Your thought process and the physics of the aircraft all become one. I can't imagine what real life is like.
BTW, that looked like a "1 wire"? Hard? Love what you men and women do. Keep us safe and keep us proud.
As always great video. Loved the spin pattern.
Thanks for the voiceover!!! I was ship’s company on a carrier for 5 yrs in the 80’s and this stuff still amazes me
Thank you for your service.
What a great journey. You're the best tour leader ^^
It's crystal clear why you're a GREAT instructor.
It took me a while in DCS to realize nose gears are a bit behind the pilot. So now I can manage my panic when parking beside the deck wall :)
Seriously loving the voice overs!! Some of the terminology is hard to follow but I'm learning! 👍🇺🇸
Stay tuned. I’ll tighten you up.
@@GrowlerJams Excellent! Charlie Mike.
This is some real quality content right here 🤙. Way better then anything Tom Cruise has put out. Keep up the amazing work! Cheers from North Island 🍻

Excellent!!! I don't recall how I managed to get to your vid's, but glad I did. I look forward to each and every one!
That last turn looked just like some of the turn i had to make when I was truckin, great work, thanks .
Beautiful landing 👌!!! Textbook flying !!! Very well done Pail 👏!!!!!
I have to say, this brought back a lot of memories! Actually felt my pulse jump a little bit when you got in the groove. BZ shipmate!
This is so valuable for us who fly the F18 in DCS. Can't thank you enough.
I learn the basic case 1 in DCS World and it is amazing to see a real landing now. Now can i compared my case 1 with a real life case 1 landing. I salute for you sir!
You make it look easy, sir. Thank you for your service, and your wonderful videos.
Your matter-of-fact demeanor and respect/intimacy with the listener makes your podcast a unique treat. Thank you for your service, sir. Respect!
Thank you!
That was really great to hear what’s going on instead of just watching the vision which is good in itself but with a voiceover it’s another dimension
First, thank you for your service! I thoroughly enjoy the channel and I your voice overs have really added a nice addition to your videos
Thank you. I appreciate your support.
Great stuff, sir! Awesome to listen to everything that goes into the landing and taxing portion.
Hey Growler. Big thank you for this video. Definitely useful for carrier landing in DCS! Also nice to hear the voice behind the HOTAS! Cheers 🤘🏼🍻
Thank you for your service and thank you for showing us this awesome display of pilotage. 🇺🇸🙏
Just another great video! The voice overs add another whole dimension! Precision flying is the Navy way!
This is absolutely incredible to watch. I can not imagine doing this. Respect

You have me soooo hyped up listening to u as u maneuver that jet into position WOW !!! Awesome I’ve got 2 beers for you thank you
Grower, I am a DCS F-18 sim pilot, your commentating and perspective makes flying my sim so much more enjoyable. My new bucket list is to fly sim wing man with ya!
BIG BIG Thank You, for posting these clips. It is so great watching and listening Case I in real life. There are a lot off DCS-Sim Pilots out there admiring your channel... 🤙🤙
That's a great piece of narration in describing your approach, trap, and following the directors to your eventual parking slot.
Really appreciated the voice over explaining what is going on. Thanks for that and Thanks for your service.
I lost internet and missed the live feed. I love these voice overs!! Thanks for doing them Pail!! Fly Navy!!
Fly Navy!
Looking forward to more 'lessons'. Thanks for sharing your talents. Great view and relaxed explanations ie using acronyms and then giving the meaning, ie 'LA'. Noticed instant response to marshal hand signals and absolute faith in their ability. Funny that the scariest moment was the roll towards the edge of "Mom". She does a good impression of an Infinity Pool!
This is really an excellent narration and precise flying . The horizon as banking reference is a demonstration of the smooth touch on your part.. Including the narration presents a complete understanding that is spot on.
Cheers, PB. Always great to hear from you.
Love the voiceover. I've watched your videos before and wondered what exactly was going on (beyond what I could see was happening in the videos). Your voiceover really explains all of the intricacies of what I'm seeing. Thanks...
Man...I do love the commentary and breakdown of that landing procedure! Thanks for the virtual ride-along!❤🤟👍
Cheers!
Every time I watch your videos I end up in an F18 VR cockpit.
Awesome!
Ps:
Love them parking procedures.
Loved every second! Exceptional voice-over! MORE, MORE!!!
Love it! So much more with the voice over. I did feel a little anxious when you were so close to the edge of the deck.😬 looking forward to the next one. We appreciate your time and effort that you have put into these videos 💪🏼😎
Thanks.
Your VO’s are the best! Please do more, thank you! Cheers!
Growler, that was an awesome ride. We thank you, Sir. Much learned and very appreciated here. as a DCS'er. I fly the F-18 And a couple helos. Watching you perform on video, I compared myself to. And I was surprisingly very close to yours. Not being a real pilot I do make mistakes, but I am getting better at it. Just having patience and confidence in what you can do with the plane is everything. I can't imagine actually being where you are.. WOW. ~S~ Salute to You!.
Thank you for your service.
