Really keep safe? War is not good scene...war is not freedom...this machine in fact killing humanity age after age..era after era...look at WW2 how many humanity died due to technology and all this high tech aircraft...
What is instantaneous about this? It took over 10 minutes to launch! Let’s hope their launch time is a little bit faster when they need to scramble fighters quickly!
Perfect timing for me to watch as I wait outside the VA for my Uncle's funeral. He was 94 years young and retired from the Navy as a LtCmdr. Thank you for the post!
@@fredwills6288 little bit of luck, little bit how one takes care of oneself. have a 92 y/o neighbor still driving, golfing and on his 3rd wife who's around 20 years younger. 70 something but still....🤩

This video really shows how the USN's flight deck crews/aviators/sailors work in all weather environments. Because we can see the rain being whipped down the deck by the strong wind, it gives us a first person perspective on that. Those of us that watch these vlogs might tend to get rather inured to the fact of you people deal with momma nature daily - no matter what she throws at you. Thank you for doing so and thank you for sharing this tiny insight.
You're forgetting there are two maneuvering aircraft ahead and to the right, I bet that is where much of the wind and water are coming from that is blasting the deck and Growler Jams plane.
This plane technically speaking is not a fighter. It has a very special mission that is super important to the military. Evidenced by the fact that we already have a few squadrons of Growlers pre-stationed in Poland at the moment. You would not want to go to war without these!
It was a jet fighter that had one engine they were highly maneuverable I'd like to learn more about them because they were using one engine aircraft to launch off Carrier one jet engine the Skyhawk was amazing
Have seen cat launches on plenty of channels prior, but this one sticks for some reason. Likely the pilot POV; but also showing how long it takes, and seeing the head swiveling of the pilot, and watching the deck crew mobilize, etc. It’s seeing the ballet in real time, and to quote from the movie Old School, “it’s glorious!”
It's mindblowing that we did all this this between our late teens to our mid 20s. Video is a true cross section of military ops though, lots of hurry up and wait. Nice to watch all the LSEs doing a solid job in inclement weather. I've been water logged during flight quarters enough times and that sh#t sucks when you aren't in warm seas. Solid cat! Always a pleasure watching flight deck ops!
Always an amazing thing to watch!!! For those like myself in their later years of life who always dreamed of flying, but other than a few lessons in a plane then flying paragliders, never did, to retired military pilots who have done it all, I don't think the cool factor is ever lost! It takes a lot of people to keep our pilots flying and big salute goes out to not just the pilots bit to all of our dedicated military members who all sacrifice some, and for those who gave all. Thank you for your service!!!
Monsoon in the South China Sea was like that. Every time we turned into the wind it rained. The drops felt the size of grapefruits and drenched us to the skin in a matter of seconds. The slippery flight deck became super slick. And, I was doing it at night. Cat Checking was the very best job in the world. Great video. Fly Navy!
In the late 1960's early 70's my uncle flew the F4 phantom in Vietnam, I was a kid and I was in awe, it's an honor to come along on your flight, your talent, bravery and dedication are so much appreciated, I'm fortunate to have been born in this great country, thank you for your service and may God be onboard with you all.🙏🇺🇸
My Son will be a senior next year and he wants to join the Navy. His goal is to become a Naval Aviator, he is good in math starting pre calculus and is in Advance Physics, only time will tell. Thank You for your Service and Awesome Videos. 🇺🇲
When I was an F-15 Crew Chief in the Air Force, at Nellis AFB, in Las Vegas, in the Mojave Desert, we didn't fly in the rain. We might have gotten water spots on our sunglasses.
Watching this from Kissimmee, FL where Hurricane Nicole is starting to roll into Florida and we are getting rained on. I always wanted to be a military pilot but didn't have the vision. I did become a private pilot with my own plane but I was late 30s when I was able to do it! Keep it up, love this!
@@yishaithegift9953 The science behind all this is not that impressive, It's 18th-century physics at most. What's impressive is the Engineering that's gone to properly use the knowledge that was accumulated over the centuries.
Some of you guys are real killjoys. Just because you can explain why something works after hundreds of other people discovered and created it for you doesn't stop it being impressive.
These are the best videos on UA-cam as far as I'm concerned and believe me I've seen alot of videos dealing with many different things and situations these are the real deal thank you sir and God bless the men and women that serve this country
These are the best pilots in the world.... Their runway is moving..... The U. S. Navies aircraft carrier battle groups amaze me. Such high tech every where.... These are floating and movable airports. A means of power projection. These launches are so cool. I bet that is one heck of a ride..... Go Navy!!!!
This reminded of the movie "The Final Countdown"!! Except when they went through the storm they ended up back in 1942. One of my all time favorites. Thanks for your uploads!!
Super keep it coming. Had some emergency landing practice on I-77 (under construction) KCLT from a "USN fighter jock" in 68". He was a great airman and gentleman.
Thank you for your service Sir! I really wish I was on a carrier. Everything about them is fascinating to me. I did get to spend a few years on an LSD working in the engine room though. My father had the privilege of flying A-7s off of the Kitty Hawk CV-63 back in the 70’s. My brother was a Marine who worked on F-18s and did a cruise on CVN-73.
Love this stuff. Love seeing the deck crew and their critical role. That was lacking in Top Gun II except for the opening music and carrier deck shots.
I live in Key West and when it’s really windy you’ll see these guys doing touch and goes all day they really have these guys ready for whatever in any weather it’s really cool
Having been launched off the Kitty Hawk in a transport aircraft the past, I appreciate this video. But when I see these reels from within a fighter cockpit with the rear view mirrors I can’t help but think if they have writing that states “object in mirror may be closer than it appears”. 😊
Was a Navy P-3 pilot, but flew COD's for a few years. Bagged a few cats and traps. Last P-3 guy to do it. I saw some of my old squadron aircraft in your video. Very cool. Thanks for that!
As a kid were are told not to play in the streets cause of traffic ect….yet at 9:51 the guy in yellow on the left side of the aircraft is pumping his arm up and down then signaling to launch while standing 5-10 from a machine that is going to accelerate to 150mph+ in mere secs….im glad there are people who didn’t listen to their mom and like to do this fun crazy stuff👍🤜
Yes the ships moving but as the video description says the ship head into the wind so the rain is driving in against the plane from the wind, it's not the ship speed that makes the rain hit that hard.
You may not want to know the story😆 i remember C W Lemoine said the story of how "Gonky" got his callsign wasn't appropriate or something like for youtube watchers to hear. Gonky Flew F18's in the USN for alittle over 10years and has a UA-cam channel called The ready room.
I'm a civilian instrument and commercial floatplane pilot and love your channel. I see you asking your viewers for what they want to see. I have a basic knowledge of what I'm watching because I'm not military but myself and others might enjoy watching one of your launches with a voice or subtitles explaining what you're doing at each step. For instance, in this video, immediately after launch, your left hand danced on the lower left of your panel with some urgency, and I wondered what that was all about.
Love your videos and as Dutch veteran you have our support. Is there any way you could share videos of night traps/shots and landing/takeoff in stormy weather?
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!! A a PRI-FLY guy.. showing how the deck ops work to people who are interested in Naval Aviation, I believe is KEY!!! .. Keep doing what ur doing.. HOWEVER, Show some CASE 3 Launch and Recovery Day/ Night.. Make the Chinese Carrier folks Jelous🤣.. P.S. I started off as a blue shirt.. Hats off to V division (V1)!!
How long do you typically maintain the clearing turn heading? I was under the impression it was turn 30 degrees left/right and then an immediate turn back to BRC. Thank you for these awesome videos!
When I was in the NAVY, I was with a Prowler Squadron. I've been skeptical of replacing the Prowler with the Growler but, I think I'm starting to warm up to the idea. Thank you for continuing our important mission!
Your head movement is impressive. Left to right, chin to shoulder, chin to shoulder. Clear hand signals. You would probably make an excellent motorcyclist, because head movement and your ability to communicate simply is key to a successful ride. (and equipment preparation/maintenance)
These are truly important to see for us stuck on the land. I really like the Handles that you grab to get set in there. . I have a handle on the top wing that I use to get in and set up my seat arrangement with chute. I notice you idle for an extended period……
This pilot’s patience is admirable. So much time is wasted waiting to take off. Can’t the flight control office do a better job to make the launch quicker or at least better coordinated in timing? Does it really take this much waiting during the war time?
I’m a Navy veteran. This is so awesome. Thank you for your service, Sir.
Thank you for your service from a US Army veteran.
Thank you from the Netherlands for keeping our world safe! God bless US military! 🇺🇸

I never get tired of watching cat launches of aircraft off carrier flight decks like this. It's just the waiting for it to happen that's tough.
Thank you for doing all of these! Thank you and everyone you work with and everyone in the military for protecting our country!
Love to see more weather departures and arrivals. This one was great
They suck when you're an ABH working the flight deck! Lol. Especially on TR working north sea in winter (back when she was in Norfolk)
Night Time Take Off You don't Really See to Much. Landing at Night is Super Cool and Scary as Heck ( I can Imagine ) 😎😎😎😎
It makes me sleep easier at night to know we have guys like this out there
Thank you so much for letting us on board with you...Really appreciated....

Absolutely awesome. Thanks for sharing this sick sick footage 😎
Thanks for watching.
"sick footage" It's joke?
I hear Growlers fly over my house all the time from NAS Whidbey as they head East for training. I love the sound they make, it's one of a kind!
I don’t think you are gonna love it if they crash into your house.
Salute to the courageous Navy aviators. Awesome shows of power. Haze gray underway.
Isn’t it lovely to be awesome and dry and warm in the cosy cockpit! ❤
Sure is.
Looked equally warm and (cosy) outside, too. 😭

It is so Friggin Dangerous working on the deck of a carrier . Respect 💫🇺🇸👍
This is by far the coolest thing to do in this life, catapulted take offs and arrested landings is just mind boggling.
Super keep it coming. Had some emergency landing practice on I-77 (under construction) KCLT from a "USN fighter jock" in 68". He was a great airman and gentleman.

It's amazing how fast the ship is going. You don't realize until the rain hits how fast the ship is actually moving.
Nuclear powered baybee. It's why the ship can stay at sea for months at a time, only needing replenishment from the air or supply ships.
Yes the ships moving but as the video description says the ship head into the wind so the rain is driving in against the plane from the wind, it's not the ship speed that makes the rain hit that hard.
👆 what they said its not the ships speed its the wind in the storm
LOL it's called wind
