Love Gonky! His and movers show every Monday or Tuesday night is by far my favorite podcast to listen to! I think it’s called the mover and gonky show!
Great interview Mike, I love Gonky he's always happy, unlike certain other youtubers we could mention.. Great to hear lots of Hornet stories. Hornet's rock!
Thats a cool and brutal honest interview!! Gonky is an absolute cool and nice guy not taking everything too serious. Always a pleasure to listen to him.
Always wanted to know which one is better fighter , the F18D Hornet or the SU30MK & thanks to Gonky , now we know that , the SU30MK under a good & experienced Pilot , it can outclassed the F18D Hornet! Thanks Gonky , feel free to visit Penang or KL in Malaysia when possible! Stay safe , healthy , vigilant & stay humble Gonky!
This was fun. Didn’t know he flew Kingsville. I grew up in CC. As a young kid was a flagger for crop dusting there. My Dad started taking me to NAS CC airshow every year when I Was 6.
This was so very cool. Gonky seems like a humble accomplished human being. So cool he is sharing his life experiences as a fighter pilot. Thank you for this. 🛫
The gas story reminds of the USAF student pilot who was barely passing and had a formation flying phase check scheduled led by a gruff IP who would do everything to shake the wingman. While talking to the fuel guy, he found out that the IP flew with minimum fuel for the maneuvering advantage. So the student had a similar fuel order for his jet. The frustrated IP couldn’t believe how well the student hung on him and was forced to pass him.
know Gonky from his vids years back Hornet vs Su 30 MKM time to time yt do suggest vid with him in it & here i'm great guy hope our country (Malaysia) can call & hire him again
Well, there are some pilots whom are excellent in English. Unfortunately you haven't had the chance to meet them. We speak and write at least 2 languages, the native language, English and one other language, mother's tongue. Our heritage backs to 10 000 years. We thank you for having a great time in our land and waters.
Wow.. always see Gonky in Mover videos. Loved the Top Gun Maverick Review. 😂 Good to know he's been to Malaysia. I'm from Malaysia. Let us know when you are in KL Gonky. Would love to meet you.
You're exactly right, Gonky. They lowered the standard to get people in all services. I would have NEVER been allowed in the Army, despite the already reasonable low standards. I apparently have had scoliosis my entire life but no one ever told me until I was being discharged for something else. Despite them noticing it in MEPS they let me through. A lot of times during MEPS it seemed like they wanted to reject me but I made it through. In 2006 they were letting anyone in. I went through BCT at Fort Leonardwood with an 88M that failed the ASVAB by a huge margin but because he had been a big rig driver for like 20 years they let him through... Also had this 40 year old guy from some South American country that could just barely speak English in my BCT Company...
Awesome interview, Gonky seems like a great guy, always in good mood, honest and positive! Interesting to hear about asthma thing. I had it too as a kid and Ioved flying and aviation since I can remember. One theory is that asthma and desire for flying are corelated and that psychologically it is something like urge for grasp of air. I have no idea if that makes any sense but it sure felt like that for me. Mike, you interview a lot of pilots, did you ever notice asthma as a common thing among pilots?
The key was probably meant that there might be some aspect of the jet capability that only the US pilot would know. Like a secret sauce. Or It could probably just to influencing the narration on the national budget. It's just speculation from someone that was too young to be even aware of the rumour.
He's not said, has not told his parents yet either 😂, so I hope they don't read this. Only dropped little hints. I think it is because of him being half asian, half white. His call sign made up of the slang words for Asian and white people.
It may not be the easiest on the eyes, but there's something inexpressibly special about the Hornet - a second kind of cool that's unique to naval aviation and that aircraft in particular. Thanks for another corker of an interview! Gonky's a solid dude.
What do you mean? The F/A-18 is a nice looking aircraft. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. I absolutely love the F3H but most people call it ugly.
After this maybe 35 or 36 Malaysia will buy Hornet from Kuwait. Kuwait agreed with it, as soon they got a new Super Hornet from Us. Then, just waiting for the green light from the White House for the Hornet kuwait goes to Malaysia.
I'm glad that Boeing's military aircraft division remains successful, despite the problems on the airliner side. Unfortunately, Elon Musk is about to throw a self serving monkey wrench into the whole system. We are in for very trying times.

33:19 I'm Malaysian & I'm pretty sure English was taught in our schools too. After all, we were a former British colony 67 years ago. Hahaha
If things turn out well. Malaysia might get some more Legacy Hornet from the Kuwaiti
Cool Gonky. Glad to hear you love, being in Malaysia. Much appreciated.

I love this channel. You always seem to get interviewees with an extra dash of subtle empathy. Great interview.
Thanks very much!
Gonky is unbelievably humble… Super cool guy!!! Fly Navy

hope our country (Malaysia) can call & hire him again
If we get the Kuwaiti Hornets over the US Marines
Most if not all Malaysian is multi-lingual. Welcome to Malaysia. Penang is the best place for foods
I will be heading to Penang next May and I can’t wait.
Great stuff Mike and Gonky. Looking forward to Part 2‼️👍
Cheers Mike!
Gonky once said he was surprised by a Hawk 200 in some DACT, I want to hear about that Mike.
That’s in part 2 out this Sunday.
Let’s go Gonky!

Gonky has made the A list finally lol
Another awesome one! Very interesting indeed.
Thanks Karl.
Gonky is a great guy - humble, funny and not arrogant like many fighter pilots, among whom "Nugget" stands out in arrogance, etc., etc., etc.
Yeah a very humble guy. Always willing to joke about himself and play down his accomplishments. Sometimes to the point of self deprecating.
Great interview!!
Thanks!
Great interview! Gonky is Da Man!
Gonky is just the best! Mike Tyson endorses the interview 😂.
Served the 18 sqn with Gonky back in the days🎉
Gonky, you rock.
Mike, great interview!
Cheers!

Nice one for getting Gonky on here
Gonky crossover episode !

Glad you enjoyed it. I have heard a couple of times, more often I hear is eyesight issues.
Gonky! It's Gonky! Yay!
Hey it's Wombat!
I love gonky... Mover just a bit emotional on his opinion..
Gonky was an Aramcon? Dude, me too
6:38 would have loved to hear what habits Gonky had to break or what was about the Navy Ground School that overwhelmed his civilian 700 hours….
Nice interview thanks!
Thanks!
Nice 🙏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it.
When is part two coming out?
@@BennyAndTheJets86 this Sunday
May I know whats the criteria and qualification to apply as Air Force pilot ?
The key was probably meant that there might be some aspect of the jet capability that only the US pilot would know. Like a secret sauce.
Or It could probably just to influencing the narration on the national budget.
It's just speculation from someone that was too young to be even aware of the rumour.
might of been covered, but how did Gonky get his call sign?
He's not said, has not told his parents yet either 😂, so I hope they don't read this. Only dropped little hints. I think it is because of him being half asian, half white. His call sign made up of the slang words for Asian and white people.

i wonder if he prefers flying the Hornet or the Super Hornet
After this maybe 35 or 36 Malaysia will buy Hornet from Kuwait. Kuwait agreed with it, as soon they got a new Super Hornet from Us. Then, just waiting for the green light from the White House for the Hornet kuwait goes to Malaysia.
Guess it is Gover next.... ;- )

He’s probably cheating….nope out fighting flankers. 😂
