The only thing better than watching flight ops from the island is being part of them. Cat troubleshooter VA-Q 130 Oriskany 1970. C1-A aircrew Ranger 72-73.
This is one of my favorite movies about Naval Aviation...I was fortunate enough to fly a couple of surplus T-34Bs that belonged to Navy Flying Clubs at Barbers Point and North Island...Great Guys Too!
@salmanpakipaki They are T-2C Buckeyes, which were built by North American Aviation. I think that the US Navy stopped using them as training aircraft around 2004-2005. They were replaced by the T-45 Goshawk training jet aircraft.
Obviously there’s simulators, but with all of the massive engineering structures mankind has ever made, you’d think they may consider building just the flattop portion m, with hydraulics, on land to mimic the pitching and rolling of a carrier; This would give the students a feel for the motions they’ll face.
She's sitting here in Philadelphia PA at the former Philadelphia Naval Base at the pier at the very end of S 16th St Not one of the Forrestals or Kitty Hawks were preserved for museums. I can't count The USS Midway in San Diego cause she was an axial that was angled twice Forrestal, Saratoga, Ranger, Independence, Kitty Hawk, Constellation, America, John F Kennedy and of course Enterprise were built keel up as 1000+ feet angle decks. The world's first supercarriers. I'll never understand why the USN let them die I know America was used as a live target and Enterprise was nearly dismantled to remove her reactors---but none of the other's---really? So sad Thank you for your service shipmate Leon J Guisburg AMS3 USN 1975 1979
Jill Burgon Great respect for him and his classmates. No matter the amount and quality of technology you have at your disposal: it still takes a lot of guts and intelligence to fly to a boat and land on it and then fly for your country under any circumstance, anywhere, anytime.
+Jill Burgon Hi Jill. I produced this movie 45 years ago and worked with your dad. I never was able to stay in touch after the movie was released, but I remember he was a great guy.
No sweat, there is some strange lingo in here...but every culture and sub culture has it's specialized terms - I just didn't think THAT conversation was ALL that incomprehensible. At least - until you try to teach cadets. "They put that runway there for a reason, son. Why are you on the grass?" :-) That and "You've lived here HOW long? - and you can't find your way back to the airfield?" - "It looks so DIFFERENT from up here." - I have that conversation, a lot.
? WTF? 7,24 - what is the part you are having problems understanding? or did you put down the wrong time hack? - 7.24 is in the Ward Room, and how the works of man seem somewhat insignificant when you're in the air...true enough...and, "coming down the groove" is about making the landing. although - I teach my cadets on a flight simulator, an they sure seem to have trouble with the concept of "keeping the plane on the runway" when landing...
@Duckeieio Is it really that much worse than the cheese of the 80s and early 90s? Seriously there's a Grumman promo vid for the latest F-14 they made in the early 90s... felt like I was watching a pyramid scheme promo with that music....

I remember the first time at the ship in the T2J-1. It was a hoot!! 1961 - VT-7 - Out of South Field, NAS Kingsville Texas.
Those gorgeous F-4's with their color paint scheme are among the coolest planes ever!
F-4 B/Ns, RA-5Cs, SH-2s, A-4Es, my good this is a treasure trove!
Looks like an Atlantic fleet carrier based off the squadrons present.
I was wondering where these fellas are now! I'd love to sit down and have a beer with them! They've be in their 70s now!❤😉🇦🇺

I missed the first four minutes because the music was just so groovy I had to boog-a-loo.
Great post Thanx.
Just about everybody smoked back then. During class they used T-28 1820 pistons as butt kit ashtrays, while most smoked in class.
Awesome vid... Thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿
When the Phantoms ruled seas. Slamming down on the deck close to 200 knots
Loved the VT-1 ready room shots. The IP's ball caps read '14', Flight 14, my flight in Jan '70.

No other country on earth can pull this off like we do😊

There's one sequence I like most about this video: the one where they talk about carrier landings after having had their 10th beer (minutes 13-14)...
awesome ! thx for uploading this great vids !
Much more humble times. Current jet jocks can't hold a candle to these guys.
What happens to the bridles at launch? Overboard? Drag back with the shuttle?
Down the ramps for retrieval
@@leonguisburg413 Re: The ‘bridles/shuttles…is this why carriers have those to downward slope protrusions on the bow ?

GO NAVY!!!!! FLY NAVY!!!!!

@pasley21 That's the point! So, you don't have to search for them :)

@7:10-7:24 is a most poignant and truthful comment.
times they are a changing...how many guys were smoking back then...
Makes you want to light one...
Yes, an afterburner........
The guitar music that starts at like 15:00, anyone know what it is?
