• Carrier Landing Clinic...
This is a "pinky" or sunset recovery aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), somewhere in the Arabian Gulf. You will see me pass overhead the ship three times.
At time 0:14, I am in low holding (point 1) at angels three, waiting for my turn to recover. After the aircraft holding below me vacate their altitudes, I can follow them down to the overhead.
At time 2:30, I enter the spin pattern. My interval boltered, was past the bow, and had yet turn downwind, so I spun it for the overhead.
At time 4:12, I broke on my interval. Only the tanker trapped behind me.
Time to get some grub before the night page. All in a day's work. I'm just happy to be here.
Fly Navy!

My son currently flies the F18E and is stationed at Norfolk Naval Air Station. Your videos, which are very well done, gives me a window into his daily job. With gratitude.
Sir, thank you for raising such a patriotic badass and thank him for his service. Much love from North Carolina 🤙🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸
You guys are brilliant and badass 🍺here’s your beer
I'm always amazed how close you come to the edge of the carrier when turning. I know the front wheel is far back but the illusion it gives when you seem to be over the edge is something else.
Trust the plane handlers/directors. They are spotting the plane not the Aviator.
Really makes you not want to take your eyes off the yellow shirts for even a second.
There's a 6 inch barrier on the two sides of the carrier and they would have to be going pretty fast to roll over it.
i was clutching my desk
@@JustaPilot1 yeah my plane can tell me im 1000 feet up but if spotter says im 600 feet up then i trust him
Even though I know I'm watching a video, I keep finding myself holding my breath and tensing up. And to think you guys do this at night and when it's raining, too. Truly impressive.
Another successful landing. Thanks for taking good care of the EA-18 and yourself. Thanks to all the Navy folks for supporting you.
A carrier shows man what he can achieve if he gets sht right. Everything about carrier ops is just incredible. I really admire everyone aboard who make it work. Be proud.
The amount of room on the flight deck now is pretty amazing. I was a cat checker in RVAH-12 working with RA-5C Vigilantes on the Independence, Constellation, and Enterprise. Everything I remember was cramped because so many different types of aircraft were onboard. I saw VF-1 and VF-2 in their first operational cruise with F-14s in 1974 onboard the Enterprise. Those planes were jaw-dropping amazing compared to those big Vigilantes I worked on. I left the Navy at the end of my enlistment in November, 1974. I have always credited my successes in adult life to the opportunities for improving myself and the lessons learned while in the Navy. Those four years completely changed the trajectory of my life for the better. Keep up the great video work. No horseplay on the flight deck. Thank you for being out there for us. #flynavy #usnavy
Thank you for your service. Fly Navy.
I guess you’re one of the best landing pilots I’ve seen I enjoy watching these things as I’m a old Navy man so I suppose that’s why!
It soothes my soul!
How impressive the whole system is.
We're all happy you're there as well, brother. Stay safe and get home soon.
Thank you.
From a retired Tomcat driver, tks for your service young man..... brings back good memories watching your vids
You make it look so easy ! Respect to you and everyone else doing that job. Thank you for these videos, I really enjoy watching them.
Even with the mirrors ON he has no lag! best DCS video i ever seen
Being the first class aviation, structural mechanic I was around you guys so much. I really wish I could’ve flown. I’m 81 years old now and the time is coming to an end. Keep up the good flying and good luck.
Thank you for your service always and all the others who are away on their 6 month tour to be careful out there and my prayers goes out for a safety on the deck
I love listening to the sounds of the engine changes, specially when you were on your final approach. Love it ! 👍🏻
Thank you for letting us in your world, so much training. 👏👏✌️
So informative for us DCS Hornet jockeys. Smooth transition to on-speed and exactly 15 in the groove. Cheers for sharing
yeah; pure porn for us DCS freaks....cheers m8....
I'm absolutely mesmerized by your videos. The view from your point is unbelievable! Keep on posting these phenomenal videos! RESPECT! Much Love and Peace 🙏✌️❤
Naval aviators have the coolest freaking job on the planet! I never get tired of seeing them land on those decks. Go Navy!!!
I was thinking the same he's getting paid for that. When he retires he will get paid even more for flying commercial airlines.
I’m the guy who was in charge of fixing these birds when the fighter jocks brought them back broken!!! GRR! GO NAVAIR MAINTENANCE!!! HOOYAH!!
Imagine the small amount of humans who will ever get to experience it!!!!
WoW ! So exciting to watch. Stay safe and Thank You for your service.
What a cool job, flying fighter jets for the navy! U.S. Navy pilots are undoubtedly the best in the world!!
It really blows me away how easy you guys make this look!!! FLY NAVY!!!
First time ever I have seen what a spin looks like. Thank you!
You really make it look way too easy. Of course the calm narrations make a difference. One of my favorite books is "Flight of the intruder" I love the detail and the personal narration and the love for flying. I think of it when I watch your videos. When you are on final approach I watch your hands on the controls. The constant small movements. The videos are excellent quality and it really helps paint the picture. Thank you for these glimpses into what you do. And thanks for keeping us safe!
good one! really great to see the ball and the instruments. thanks for the high quality video.
I have been retired for 35 years. I still miss the flight deck. Once you have worked there everything else is just ho-hum. My introduction to the flight deck was aboard an A-3B as an 3rd seat aircrewman/Plane Captain aboard the USS Oriskany.
Thanks a lot for the great videos. I brings back wonderful memories when I was in the Navy back in the 60's... (VAW-121, Det 42 attached to the Franklin D Roosevelt). I wish I could fly once again, but with advancing age and bad health, just can't do that anymore. FLY NAVY!!
Fly Navy!
The veiw of the hawkeye right at the end is awesome . . .thanks for sharing 🖐
Happy to see this channel growing. Fly navy and tail hooks forever.
Good to see the navy now provide tinted visors. No more losing red teams in the sun.
I "see" what you did there...
Fantastic over the shoulder shot. Impressive landing. I must admit it also helps me with my carrier landings on DCS World. I always have trouble with lining my nose down the angled runway.
When he taxis right to the edge of the ship……i always think he is gonna go right over the edge. It’s amazing how much skill these guys have.
Just never gets boring, does it 🤙👏
one can see how doing this job would make everyday civilian life kinda boring.
@@patrick-po2lx oh yeah! I get mine from skydiving; heading for the DZ now in fact. Blue skies! 😉
it's hypnotically good
What a privilege to be able to fly with you.
Show! ...comes close to the edge, expertise and complete trust in each other.
This pilot answering questions like a boss.
Downright great landing on a beautiful day!
The taxi around the deck part is the coolest.
Hi Pail, thankyou for all your vids ,awsome, I fly the Hornet in DCS and your carrier stuff really helps with real world processes.
thanks again
Regards Banjo
Im from the 60's in the Boston area, I'm so fortunate to have my freedoms because of guys like this, my uncle flew the phantom F4 in Vietnam, he'd come home some holidays in the late 60's and I was 8 or 9 and I'd ask him all kinds of questions, I was in awe, I'm 62 and still in awe of our military, I literally owe my life to all servicemen and women who commit themselves to defending our country. Thank you to all of you.🙏🇺🇸
No one has tried to take your freedom away from you, and it certainly wasn't "guys like this" who protected your home.
Guys like this, let's remember, drop bombs on civilians.
Your freedom NO ONE has ever tried to take it away from you, think about it.
It is you more than anything else, who have gone to take away the freedom of others in other countries, only to take their resources by inventing bullshit as "weapons of mass destruction", by inventing wars.
Your freedom is also TOO MANY, because it is the freedom to attack other peoples just to steal their resources.
In Vietnam NO ONE attacked you, it was YOU, against the will of your own people, who went to war. To destroy an entire generation of young Americans. And those who opposed it were beaten. Your freedom is just an illusion.
It is one thing to have PASSION FOR AIRPLANES AND ENGINEERING, another thing is to admire a guy, who drops bombs on civilians if necessary. Fuck your freedom, your freedom it is stained with the blood of other civilians, women and children. As EU member i say this.
That GoPro picks up everything on the audio. You can hear the sound changes as PAIL configured the acft for the final… it’s amazing to be able to see and hear the speed difference in Pattern vs. Approach
Very Cool. Thank you for your service!
Living vicariously through these vids 😮
Thank you for your channel...Us DCS noobs love seeing a real Navy pilot make it look so easy. We try to get on board the boat in one piece! Please stay safe!
Amazed a how "real life" DCS have made glideslope and centreline. It comes in just like in the real jet. My deck is a lot cleaner and I can park near the island, no worries.
@@johnmclean6498 I was watching the HUD repeater on the left DDI and thinking, I know what all that means. Thank you DCS!!
@@johnmclean6498 I just wish they could make the carrier deck seem even half as lively as the actual thing without destroying frame rates.
@@TJ-bk9vf Agree it seems too static at the moment, but what DCS have achieved with it so far is simply amazing. The "yellow shirts" directing aircraft about the deck are promised and will liven things up. I'm lovin' it!
God, that brings back so many memories and feelings/nerves when I doing carrier ops in an E-2C.
I had the opportunity to fly with Bob Aumack Capt of the blue angels in formation with 5 Soviet migs bought by Al Rederick owner of stead stead airfield in Reno Nevada! I will never forget that experience shooting film for Steal The Sky! Amazing, just amazing!
Thanks for this video and Ch. This is incredible stuff and no music or B.S. Its perfect for real aviation fans !
That last turn...wow! Great job!
We (US Navy) paid in blood to get this system to where it is now. It’s very complex and they make it look easy. I can only imagine when decks are swapping, weather is shit and it’s nighttime. For these guys to go without magic carpet ride amazes me.
Echoing the other compliments. AND the camera you’re using for this video is superior in that we can see your instruments clearly. This makes a huge difference. Thank you!
Cheers!
Thank you Pinky. Go Navy. You guys rock!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your service.
It would be cool to see some low level stuff over the Columbia river gorge flying out of WAS.
I know it was probably camera angles a bit, but wow.....the amount of activity all around and in front of you, as you taxied by the cat 2 JBD is mind blowing. I know everyone keeps their heads on a swivel, but taxiing around all of the equipment and personnel.....it's like threading a needle. just amazing stuff.
I wonder if flying and landing that thing is easier than taxiing
@@skybirdnomad I'd wager taxiing would be a bit easier, as you're under the direction of a yellow shirt. Landing is almost always going to be one of the tougher aspects....especially at night, bad weather and pitching deck......or all three at once.
only job on earth more difficult or dangerous than what you see happening on the flight deck is doing the same job, carrier flight ops, at night with zero illumination while the deck is pitching 10+ feet. Aircraft are stacked from just above the water to the space station waiting to attempt to trap but everyone is a continuous bolter that more Aircraft are having to launch on refueler missions to keep the other Aircraft flying.
@@EScott-zx2gs That PBS series "Carrier" showed this exact scenario...... can't begin to imagine the stress/tension level..... especially if you have to launch as a recovery tanker, because other aircraft have been boltering so many times, knowing you'll have to come back and do the same thing.....and you're probably the last one to come aboard. Naval aviation has always fascinated me.....both the flying and working on the flight deck.
@@yxeaviationphotog it happens more often than most prob realize. As long as an aircraft takes the cat shot when the bow is rising and not falling it will be fine and won't need to worry about being shot off the deck and straight into the water. Getting aircraft off deck isn't that tough. It's the final part of the evolution that is the hardest. It's the most diff task a pilot can complete. Side note, this is also why Marine Corps and Naval Aviators are far superior to any other pilots in the military.
Admirable el coraje y responsabilidad de estos hombres por la defensa del país 👏👏👏
Smooth as always Pail, nice recovery.
That relaxed turning and taxiing on that deck is impressive as hell. 👌🏼
Yeah, just the entire coordination of the flight deck crew in getting all aircraft launched, recovered, and moved where they are supposed to be on the deck is amazing. Of course the U.S.N has had a lot of time to perfect this.
An amazing video again ! I really enjoyed it ! Thx !!
amazing how you can land on this box of matches (as seeing from above). Another fab video! Thanks for sharing and keep posting more!
More to come!
I use to fly with retired military pilots offshore in gulf of Mexico to and from oil platforms. I was just the passenger in huey, Belle and sikorsky. But same idea. Landing a tiny chopper on a cork bobbing in the water. It's pretty wild.
Amazing video! Love it!!
A glorious job.
Freaking amazing what these great Americans do.thank you for your service.
WOW, the nose really hangs over the deck when your turning close to the edge of the deck, very cool!
I bow to the men and women that do this on a daily basis come good or bad weather and the challenges they face and dangers just to keep the people safe. So to all carrier pilots whether fast jets and COD and the helicopter crews and the crews behind the scenes. I send you my thanks and gratitude
Cheers!
love watchin ya park almost as flyin em thanks!
Man, every time I see you grab the handle and scoot up in the seat on these unedited ones I can still hear the “signature move”😂😂. Maybe you could do a video of the pipeline of the new pilots in terms of what aircraft they start out as newbie pilots and how they progress. Just throwing ideas out. You seem to have a knack for this stuff man. If you decide to drive airliners in the future, you have definitely got the cool pilot voice down pat😂🤣. Much love to you and your family 🤙🤙
Cheers!
Love the videos, you’re awesome!
Best of the Best.Seems like this has got to be fatiguing once you unwind.
Super vidéo. Merci
Awesome recovery!
Wow.. This is by far the best inboard footage of a case 1 recovery ever. EVER...
Perfect camera angle and I love the HUD on the left MFD.
Thx for sharing...
Beautiful ❤️
great job on the recovery 👍👌3 wire
The feeling never goes away…
That was awesome. Thanks.
Great Job Pail. . .Sir.
I could hear your every word in the breakdown; nice one!
Last case I recovery before going case III. Love it.
Deve ser bem difícil aterrizar um jato no porta aviões!. Obrigado por mandar vídeos!. Abraços.
Thanks for sharing and for your service. Navy always has my heart as my late father served on the USS Croatan (CVE25) in WW2. What is your favorite part about flying and the most challenging?
very enjoyable viewing
Jammers are jamming...
Fighters are fighting...
Attackers are attacking...
...and growler can do all of these.
Awesome. Thanks!
Love your vids, bro.
Those men and women have nerves of steel 🙏🏼🇺🇸
Damn that seems so difficult but these dudes make it look easy to land on a carrier
Bravo 😊🥇
I admire the hell out of you pilots (and everyone else involved) you have brass balls, that's probably the klink I heard when you landed lol
Thanks for watching.
Superb! Thanks again for NOT adding music! (I know I thank you each time for that, but thank you!)
MSFS 2020 just isn’t the same as watching you. Thanks🛩️🇺🇸
I respect you.
Awesome!! Thanks for video.. Would be cool to have ya give a little narrative..
I love it !
I swear if I see him pull himself forward again and adjust his position I’m going to sneak onto the carrier and slide his seat forward. Or add one of those foam spacers race car drivers use lol
Awesome content as always
I tip my hat to the dudes and dudettes who do this stuff. What's probably "all in a day's work" for y'all looks freaking awesome to an ordinary guy like me.
Naval pilots are just beasts in this fighter game! Fly Navy!
Awesome!!!
Amazing videos of things you just would never get to see.
Man they take that nose right over the edge on parking. Wow👍
Hell, the taxiing looks more exhausting than the flying!
Nice pass. Great job on the deck. You have been doing this awhile.
