Love carrier landings. To see how something that can fly so fast, and yet stop in the blink of an eye is amazing.

[@mominaliasgae6956]

Gkkkkm

[@bendaaa69]

they dont actually stop that fast there connecting to cables on aircraft carriers to stop fast

[@clippedwings225]

heh, that's kinda what I meant

[@bendaaa69]

5 years ago and u replied. i bet its weird for you seeing a comment that old@@clippedwings225

[@BeelySalasBlair-uy5wn]

Exactly 🌬️🌟

[@scottkunkle8985]

Those Sailors working the flight deck just fascinated the hell out of me! I was a cook with VAW-123 on the America in '86 and whenever I had some free time I would run up to "Vulture's Row" and just sit there and watch those guys for hours!! Oh how I miss those days!!

[@Mentor.Beqiri]

Respect for the Guy who have recorded all these Beautiful things for us to see

[@spaceaddict5484]

its amazing how strong that plane is to be going so fast and stop so fast, youd think it would pull the back end of the jet right off.

[@brandonmelhem7888]

It has a tail hook that grabs onto a rope when it lands and the rope slows it down that's how it stops so fast

[@johnbucki6341]

Brandon Melhem it’s not a rope it’s a cable US S Independence CVA 62

[@johnbucki6341]

Arresting gear

[@johnbucki6341]

Rope LMAO

[@davidmartin8404]

I call it the tail and trap

[@tayninh69]

Navy pilots are the best, they make it look so easy.

[@turkerdalkran7737]

jay dee turkish stars ?

[@martinsoublette95]

@jay dee. That's thanks to a long and hard training. Before landing onboard, they first practice a lot in simulators

[@ewertonslima]

That does not look easy at all

[@Jon-tu4tm]

Piece O cake......geez a turn

[@zionmiller5347]

You should play carrier landings it kinda tells you how hard it is

[@drelocs2878]

I remember at 12 years old being on an aircraft carrier, A site I’ll never forget.

[@TomasUjhelyi]

Good thing you went when you were 12. I was 11 when I visited and forgot everything 😞

[@o.p.w454]

I remember last year working on one over the summer. I was a cashier and it was a museum but still thing was huge

[@gnarman1358]

Those stopping wires reminded me of when Spider-Man stops the train in the second movie

[@Ich0x]

GnarMan 135 lol

[@StormsandSaugeye]

Not gonna sugar coat it, I just wanted to watch Jets taking off and landing for a bit....

[@tyronea8509]

That's never a bad thing

[@FBI-Agent.26]

Who wouldn’t tho

[@ThatOneGuy-xd3os]

i am ur 160th like, enjoy :)

[@davidmartin8404]

Same

[@alane8673]

I never get bored watching this.

[@paran315]

wow, impressive how it stops so fast. 0.0

[@zeppdude335]

The hook

[@paran315]

Zepp Dude 33 I think the hook isn't the major factor...looks like an accessory safety measure, like that small parachute that some planes deploy when landing

[@fourtwentypr0of]

+Ein Han its the cord and the hook. if the pilot misses the cord, he's def not gonna land because he's going too fast. if they miss the cord, theyll circle around for another attemp

[@EdwinMarquezredwings]

The landing speed is about 130 knots, and it stops in about 3 seconds. Then, just in case, they add full power before touchdown in case of missing the wire.

[@ayanoaishi7938]

Ein Han Yeah, thank arrester cables

[@borkug1566]

1:24 so gentle.

[@BrownieBlanky]

Notice how almost every time the jets land on the carrier they catch the third wire. The pilots are trained to land in the same spot every time. That takes some skill.

[@dot2562]

I thank each and everyone for their services 😢😢

[@user-gt2lh2ec9e]

WHAT AN AMAZING AIRCRAFT flying of a great CARRIER! John P.

[@dot2562]

Thank you my friends across the pond😅😢i love ur dedication and ur sacrifice

[@BlessedYouTuber]

Reducing that speed to zero in a few seconds is near magic!

today, do you play DCS World 2.9 ? xD

[@BigIrvB]

Ballz of steel!

[@RoDe_321]

This is the best video!

[@meirsasson4088]

beautiful!!! thank you,

[@user-gt2lh2ec9e]

WOW, THATS A VERY NICE AIRCRAFT! John P.

[@melissaclark8381]

Thank you for your service.

[@jhonyuriel9215]

Impressive! Thank you for the video!

[@rebeccalara6574]

Cool how the plane bounces for just a second as it takes off. .

[@otheracc3192]

The last landing was smooth

[@coopgaming7792]

The view from the control tower, woah

[@PlasticWheelsCustoms]

I can watch this 24/7

[@user-hd4ov6fs2y]

Back in the day,the 90s, when a pilot landed on an aircraft carrier for the first time he gets to keep the tailhook . The 6 foot aluminum bar that catches the cable. I wonder if they still uphold that tradition ?

[@audiemuniz6445]

When I was 22 that was my dream to work in the aircraft carrier, could make it. Now my son did ! Love to see them my respet to those who work in it.the f-18 Is my favorite .

[@welsch9]

so smooth landing wow

[@birdandcatlover5597]

The one hornet that didn’t even tilt when he reached the edge…awesome skill!

[@shubhamchoubey8017]

Amazing

[@maamother3069]

this is inspirational

[@harrihiltunen3126]

best fighter flight video..

[@stuss744]

Beautiful.

[@elijahglasser1421]

Fascinating takeoff

[@Hadfield15]

I find it insane how they pull off these landings. There looks like there’s such a small margin of error when catching the cord that stops them

[@apdgslfhsodbna]

Amazing video, actually when fighters landing

[@akrep289]

This is great 💕

[@rawdawg15]

You watch this and the opening to top gun, and it is amazing how many fewer people they use nowadays on the flight deck

[@Bisbye]

This wasn't normal day operations

[@Scoobz187]

Well, only one CAT was used. When all for CATS are active, and a full cycle is in process, well, then it is 5 to 6 times the amount of people on deck. ^^

[@TIMCOWBOY1971]

Awesome 👏 🙌🔥

[@beginsadventure3612]

Очень красиво!

Wow good job well done .

[@capturedbysmartphones5742]

Gosh danggit! Fighter pilots have one of the coolest jobs in the world.

[@tcswag801]

So cool !

[@anaszahab3154]

Great 🖤

[@maulanwong3841]

The thing i like about aircraft carries is that there basically airports on water or airbases on water

[@frigofflayhey5976]

awesome

[@abcjelly]

After watching Top Gun Mav just realised many times i watched this vid📹 as an aviation fan for 8 years

[@elvtorin4800]

The dude that tells the jets to take off is cool Everytime I see them I remember top gun and the song

[@seferino]

Awesome

[@harrihiltunen3126]

fighter on the air...good video.

[@DeltaAirtran]

My dream is to do that! Few more years to go.

[@shakespear841rj]

Mark Krawiec 3 years later, did you do it? Im curious

[@jayrobinson2939]

Mark Krawiec yea how is it

[@djgaming521]

Mark Krawiec now the question is, are you a pilot or are you just part of the 99% that didn't make ot

[@HacksignKT]

gl on your dream

[@shutdahellup69420]

Mark Krawiec wat da fuk happened man?

[@kavinskysantropez3606]

"the battlefield is THAT way"

[@Squash101]

“The guys doing warrior one like the yoga pose”

[@cheeseman7453]

How do the carrier pilots confirm landing weight of plane to the ship ? Does the arresting wire have to be tightened for each plane landing ?

[@flow2me667]

Top Gun real life. I was so glad to found something that looks like the Top Gun opening scene and it looks really similar.

[@imtemplar1940]

New dcs update looks good !

[@yizhang2831]

SOOOOOOOOO COOL

[@markdrysdale8371]

very nice

[@blanenoel4231]

Winner every time!

[@_JellyDonut_]

If anyone has ever flown one of these answer a question for me please. Does landing on a carrier ever not scare the crap out of you? I mean, is it even possible to get so good that it doesn't make you super nervous? Thanks (for your service!)

[@littlechicken963]

Jelly Donut my boss Trent is an ex navy pilot and instructor with 75 Carrier landings . He said during the day it's not scary at all . But at night and in rough seas its scary as hell . He said today that he has seen the red paint on bottom of the carrier ( the part that normally is under water ) . What other have commented is correct that while trying to land he said you aim for the third wire and you do have the power on in case you don't hook . He has seen pilots forget to drop the hook or hooks break .

[@ratherbefishing4225]

I’ve also heard multiple pilots say that they would do day landings for fun but would never ever volunteer to do another night landing.

[@frantisekjanosik5339]

so nice,very nice..

[@dorisw.4831]

Nice

[@carloschambliss2238]

😂😂😂 Hearing this many planes LATE NIGHT this early in the WEEK IS RARE!!! *It sounds like BATS out of the Abyss.

[@carloschambliss2238]

SEATAC AIRPORT....

[@middleman8787]

Some bad ass men and women...so proud!!

[@ayobruce8211]

Amazing and i was shocked to see the other guys standing near the engine of the aircraft, i was always thinking a person can be severely burn or projected by the a jet engine

[@Kalenz1234]

If you stand behind the engine it's gonna blow you away. Standing to it's side doesn't do much except being very loud.

[@richardnorton2024]

Very good video! But how or who releases the catapult after shooter points, pilot, deck crew?

[@potatosuc4950]

Pilot.

[@abandonedchannel9970]

Clear Prop!

[@ahmadtheaviationlover1937]

Imagine working here on a day to day basis, your ears will blow out with the jet roar

[@ughschwifty5399]

Cool

[@Kerosene_1863]

I think it was recordet on the CVN 75 aka the USS Harry S. Truman.

[@briantaylor9285]

Man I would be walking funny if I did this. The acceleration on launch, that crazy descent, and DEceleration on landing.

[@leonskum.5682]

impressive Elvis impression on 12 seconds.

[@aaronseet2738]

Any technical crew or pilot can explain why the F-18 turns rudders inward on takeoff? I'm guessing since its vertical fins are actually tilted, have both rudders turned in lets them perform like a secondary elevator to pitch the plane up.

[@JasonAdank]

Thats exactly right, its a secondary elevator

[@rudolphgallegos7723]

Baddest time of my life worked but got fight deck duty to repair down Ground Support Equity. Asome Badass time

[@tginsie3068]

random question whats the breaking limit on those cables????

[@Adam_Kazmi]

‘ Pretty cool

[@akashpal6851]

Wow this is very surprising

[@leonadams1942]

I can only imagine how loud that must be to be right there when those jets take off.

[@Kragatar]

Imagine doing such a highly skilled takeoff while your brain is mashed against the back of your skull by the G-force.

[@SoloVoid]

you experience about 4g during take off

[@oceshadow1310]

@@SoloVoid If you go in a go kart you will hit 4g on hard corners.

[@cptpuma3458]

Thats crazy

[@rexster_v5624]

Everybody gangsta until the rope doesn't hook up.

[@nothingok1221]

Stopping cable are very strong.

[@fungkianrei3798]

are this included in STOL?

[@dominicvu7097]

can someone explain how the jets land and how the rope gets attached like that?

[@carloschinchilla6486]

The jets have a a cable witha hook attached to it, so the hook catches into the rope in the deck

[@dominicvu7097]

Carlos Chinchilla cool. a tail hook basically?

[@carloschinchilla6486]

Indeed, a tail hook it is :)

[@dominicvu7097]

Carlos Chinchilla cool

[@helloppl7876]

Carlos Chinchilla what if it doesn't catch

[@gamingwithgelstube2260]

Damn the workers and on board be like, we have crossed the normal audible range for hearing.

[@kevinsamuel6432]

I love f-18 jet.

[@jayonefive234]

dat launch control

[@theofficialgreenkane9645]

If that chain breaks, everyone on the deck would be cut in half. Thats why the deck guys wear metal plates on their legs. Those chains are thick as a banana. They use titanium alloy. I was a Jet driver for 30 years in the army. Those chains are strong. ⛓️

[@danielz905]

I have a question. Do these aircraft have a landing autopilot? I read somewhere that some newer planes and jets do. I figured these would because landing on a carrier can't be very easy.

[@pizzaman1852]

Daniel Z they do but they do it manually due to the fact the tech can malfunction

[@Kalenz1234]

Considering drones are taking over more and more they definitely need a landing autopilot for those alone.
