Brazilian Navy A4 Skyhawks

Brazilian Navy A4 Skyhawks doing a number of manouvers including landing in the navy carrier.

[@redbaroniii]

I flew A-4s in Vietnam, This just takes me back to the good old days of flight, noise, and night landings on the ship. Thanks

[@allgood6760]

Awesome.. we flew A4 Skyhawks with our RNZAF 👍🇳🇿

[@pleiadian7]

The pilots of the Blue Angels enjoyed flying the A-4 Skyhawk because it is easy to maintain and the accident rate was quite low. Eventually, there were new aircrafts that replaced the Skyhawk. It retired in 1976 for the U.S. Navy while in 1998 in U.S. Marine Corps. However it is still active in other countries.

[@gerodinis]

@hsphr1 The A-4 was used in the Top Gun training, to simulate Soviet MiG-17s and -21s. So I guess it wasn't THAT bad in maneuvering. It was also used with great success by Israel in all major wars of the 60's-70's and until 2000 or so.

[@pleiadian7]

The A-4 Skyhawk is a lightweight, single engine attack aircraft. It is said to be one of the most famous attack aircrafts ever designed. The short range attack and close support aircraft was originally intended for the U.S. Navy and Marine forces. The A-4F variant was a refinement of A-4E. It has extra avionics housed in a hump on the fuselage spine. Some of this variant served with Blue Angels acrobatic team during 1973 to 1986

Best Video I've ever seen.I worked on these babies during the Vietnam conflict. Awsome airplane, Heinemans Hot Rod.

[@ingledude]

Can't help but be impressed with the Brazilian Navy.

[@johnyted]

Eu não sei porquê sou apaixonado pelo A-4 Skyhawk (AF-1). Ele é muito lindo e letal! Espero que os brasileiros cuidem deles num museu apropriado quando for a hora do merecido descanso.

[@ejvideos07]

Excellent footage. Thanks for posting in high quality.

[@soflaav8r]

Awesome vid, I love the A-4 and I am glad to see it is still being put to good use.

[@farewell2kings]

Really great video. Enjoyed it a lot. Brazilian Navy looks very professional and competent.

[@jema2009]

muy buen video felicitaciones,brasil y argentina hermanos por siempre mas alla de que algunos tarados se dejen llevar por rivalidades del futbol viva argentina y brasil

[@PikAs666]

One of mine favorite planes ever!!!Skyhawk rules. :0

[@ferdiflap]

great video, really awesome seeing the ground crew prepare and testing..and the speed sign! hahaha M0.8 at 500ft, this is a dream to come true having to read this speedsign!

[@henriquecouceiro]

Awesome!!! The best A-4 video ever!!!

[@rechfurlan]

Ghetto, we just have the Skyhawk A-4KU as the main fighter in the navy. They operate in the aircraft carrier São Paulo. There are 23 of them. In the Air Force we have the F-5M modernizated (55 of them), Mirage 2000 (12), AMX attack jet (53) and the ALX A-29 (99) for trainer/light-attack aicraft.

[@alexisbv]

Well, the US military has 707s in active military duty... under the name of E-3 Sentry. The 707 is now 49 years old.

[@vexviper]

I love this aircraft!

[@alexisbv]

True enough... but it doesn't mean the old design is necessarily obsolete. Take the 747 for example, it is still in production after 48 years. The 757 line by comparison is out of production and was produced for 22 years, even though it's a newer aircraft (deployed... 13 years after the 747). So, yes, sometimes 10 (or more) years may be a difference, but a good design makes a larger difference!

[@tameirao]

Davif3, cara, vc tá certo! Tem que agarrar as oportunidades da vida mesmo! Vc está mais do que certo! Mas nunca se esquenca quem vc realmente é e suas tradições! Eu acredito que eu fazendo minha parte, estou contribuindo para um Brasil melhor! Quem sabe um mundo melhor tb! Mas é isso! Espero que depois que vc juntar uma grana boa ai nos EUA, volte para cá, abra algum negócio aqui, dê emprego a pessoas necessitadas e ajude o nosso Brasil! Abraco veio!

[@andretripoli9926]

The carrier is the ex-French Navy "Foch", now Brazilian Navy "São Paulo". The squadron is called VF-1, Primeiro Esquadrão de Aviões de Interceptação e Ataque

[@fsghddj]

muito bom , muito bem produzido. mostrando nossa marinha, com menos recurso mais com profissionais tão bons ou até melhores do que os eua ,e com um pequeno detalhe a paz, apenas pela defesa nacional e não pela exploração imperialista norte ameriacana que lhe deram o 1 posto do pais mais rico do mundo mais também o mais odiado ....... veleu brasil

[@gerodinis]

@Darthwizard Don't forget that many of the bombs used by the Argentinians didn't have their fuses properly adjusted for attack against ships, this is why most of them didn't explode.

[@gabcibertech]

parece que o governo do Brasil quer comprar novos aviões agora e por isso esta se fazendo uma operação conjunta com aviões das forças aereas do Chile, da Argentina, do Brasil, da Europa e até dos Estados Unidos para mostrar como é a operacionalidade dos sistemas de cada tipo de aeronave. Ainda não sei quais são mas me parece uma ótima idéia o pais ter aviões mais modernos para patrulhar suas fronteiras, inclusive a Amazônia.

[@RicPorto]

FIRST OF ALL, USA AND BRAZIL ARE ALLIES! I don't think it's apropriate to discuss a hipotetical war between these friend nations. We are at the same side and there we will stay, as neighbors and strategical partners. Topic closed.

[@tameirao]

Not Saint Paul. São Paulo and Minas Gerais. Those are the name of two states here in Brazil. In this Carrier, we have 23 skyhawks!

[@CxC2007]

In Falkland war (MALVINAS ISLANDS), the Star of the sky was the french Super Etandard and the Exocet misils, during the war, of our navy, now, the Etandards flys no more, but many A4, now A4-AR, flys with F16 Avionics. we still have some Mirages too.

[@tameirao]

We have A1 AMX and Tucano (Both Made in Brazil - Embraer), F5 Tiger and now Mirage 2000.

[@pleiadian7]

I wish i had gone to the navy to ride one of these little beasts. I know they are old. but they look very pretty, as classic cars from the sixties or seventies. The newer jetfighters arent pretty they are really ugly things like the stealth fighter. I love the Phantons, the F5´s Like I love the Mustangs or the Trans Ams ( cars form the 70´s ). Nice to see these classy jets piloted in Brazil.

[@FallenPhoenix86]

@Darthwizard Eh... " harrier vs a4 skyhawk = Skyhawk won!"... Despite no SHAR ever being lost to an enemy aircraft. The UK lost no aircraft at all to enemy air forces in the Falklands war, 2 Harriers were lost to ground fire and 4 in accidents but noone in an A2A engagement. Whereas the SHAR scored 23 confirmed. How the hell is 23*-0 a loss for SHAR? *Inc8 A-4's - 3 B, 2 C' & 3Q I'm not having a go at the Argentine pilots, they gave a good account of themselves under the circumstances.

[@sinfosio]

o melhor video....the best

[@lautarosarradell3037]

What happen with the stuff that catapulted the aircraft when it goes to the water??

[@Minimoogman]

They are just going to un upgrade to get state-of-the-art avionics and BVR capacity. The A4Cs from Argenitna were poorly equiped.

[@clustermage]

Arrebentou muito show =) favorited com certeza Abraço!!!

[@GreysonJonesgreysonofusa]

Very Nice Video... As for gaae2000 I think you need to see the falkland islands conflict one more time and watch those migs and mirages get taken by UK and US air forces. I think brazilian pilots seem well trained, however, they have no history of being involved in any such air battles. But it doesnt matter. They are flying well in this video...

[@blue387]

Very nice.

[@ingledude]

Did the Brazilian Navy get a new carrier? Where did the y get it from?

[@keyman1967]

A great video, excellent work!

[@gaae2000]

Peru, Brazil and Argentina are full of Migs 29's...and soon the new Mirages.

[@Stormy2142]

I didn't like the second song, But the first is a classic. And GO MARINHA!

[@eXphoid]

Nice Video :) hehe missed the tailhook a couple of times

[@fsghddj]

Yes, NH-minas gerais and NH- são paulo .

[@lizard357]

Excellent!!! A great vid dude!!

[@FallenPhoenix86]

@supermariobros79 That would explain why the Sea Harrier has a 23-0 kill ratio then... thanks for clearing that up for me lol

[@fsghddj]

além de everlong , qual é a banda e a musica da segunda parte do clip?

[@NeoFahrenheit]

Muito legal seu vídeo! Ele contém diálogos, narrações, etc? Se tiver, hospeda em algum host pra gente, por favor. Maldito KZbin .^^

[@fsghddj]

detonhish vc é parente de piloto ou é militar da marinha?

[@clustermage]

detonish coloca o nome das 2 musicas no "description" do video ai resolve o problema de um monte de gente hehe... tbm queria o nome delas =) Abraço!!!

[@alexisbv]

By the same token doesn't mean all F4's were built before Vietnam... And even if they were, ever heard of MLUs? A certain north american country is really fond of them, and for very good reasons. Anyway, the whole discussion is moot since we're talking of a country that was last "threatened" in the 19th century and whose need of an active air force is mostly for search and rescue, and to shoot down drug dealers flying Cessnas over the amazon.

[@tonightwefly]

Does not mean the USAF's E-3's are 50 years old tho does it, most wwere built new in 1993, thats when the E-3 came out

[@Minimoogman]

O Rafale é CARÍSSIMO e tem limitações de operação no A12. É mais eficiente comprar mais alguns, para desenvolver as doutrinas de combate enquanto não surge(m) porta-aviões novos, que então justificariam novos caças.

[@samuabreu]

I'm not sure if you're aware of that, but these things require something we call money.

[@nerdsrsmart]

Great Vid!!

[@fsghddj]

temeirão vc esqueceu de falar dos at 26 xavante dos at 25 impalas recentemente colocados fora de operação junto com os miragesIII F103.. Além é claro dos valentes e versateis super tucanos

[@andradejurk]

A4: efficient aircraft, but limited to modern warfare, where prevail BVR missiles and synthetic aperture radar spotting that far. The modernization over the Embraer should improve somewhat, a stopgap measure until the arrival of an aircraft of superior ability.

[@capenati]

What are you talking about? in the falklands the harriers destroyed the skyhawks

[@andradejurk]

A4: eficiente aeronave, mas limitada para guerra moderna, onde imperam os mísseis BVR e radares de abertura sintética que enchergam bem longe. A modernização a cargo da Embraer deve melhorar um pouco, uma medida paliativa até a chegada de uma aeronave de capacidade superior.

[@jeffbueno34]

Excelente video! Espero que dentro de pouco tempo possamos ver RAFALES no lugar dos A4

[@moreira7660]

Pirou

[@jema2009]

en 17:00-18:00 aparece un objeto con aspecto metalico a gran velocidad,alguien sabe si es un avion o un ovni?

[@deadhand23]

the 22 can take on your air froce and more

[@LANKAI]

How many A-4 brazil have?

[@rtempestini]

Amen

[@aaron8862006]

great movie.... beautiful skyhawks. are those early M's? certainly not L's. and the movie's fine to this music, whiner.

[@BrianO2A]

They are .-. Argentina operates the S2T On the Carrier

[@Foxtrop13]

@USMANchampNO1 because of your sidewinders? or your satelite images? without that the only adventage of the british would be the nuclear armament

[@tameirao]

hahah... we have Mig-29!? Argentina!? LOL! Old planes!? Please, take a look in the "old" F5-M that belongs to Brazilian Air Force! They have: BVR Missile, LDSD, HOTAS, Night Vision, display in the helmet, datalink, glass cockpit, etc... This "old" plane shot down 2 French Mirage 2000 in a exercise here in Brazil!

[@LANKAI]

Thank you. Y operativos?

[@tameirao]

20 Monoplace and 3 Biplace!

[@alexisbv]

Google up KC-135 or HC-130 tankers.

[@silentman2006]

I would never take a 747 to any war. It has nothing to do with it.

[@tameirao]

My friend, we chat with you in english, because if we speak in portuguese or spanish, you probably wont understand! We can be unemployed, but we arent stupid! Fredericoru, temos que falar em ingles pra esse povo entender: If you dont know, "Guerra de Las Malvinas" is the same of "Falklands War" but in spanish ok!? haha

[@61kwt]

They got the A-4 from Kuwait, but Im not sure about the carrier.

[@anonymus99boss29]

The carrier is an ex french navy Clemenceau class carrier from 1960s, they modernized it and they plan to use it until the 2030s

[@955472]

@Darthwizard "don't even talk about you were better." They lost but they are better? That's incredibly stupid.

[@weldermartins2715]

estes aviões, uns poucos que tem capacidade de operar, somente voam e tem quase nenhum poder de combate. É uma pena ver nossa Marinha do Brasil em estado de penúria.

[@capenati]

Actually, the harriers did better than the A4 skyhawks during the falklands

[@jsantana1980]

Trapt - Headstrong

[@alexisbv]

Yeah, and F-15s and F-16s were made in the '70s. Big deal.

[@oliveirahs]

ANDURINHA?? TERSEIRO?? DARAM??? meu deus...

[@henriquecouceiro]

Jema provavelmente apenas uma ave, um passaro.

[@rtempestini]

Yes, but old ones...

[@Dude1112]

2 I belive. Not near as advanced as USN but never the less they are CVs

[@ZeroFilth]

Even with such inferior firepower, technology and the lack of a descent navy, Argentina did a pretty bad damage on Royal Navy's power, sinking the Belgrano was a morale hit, a smart one, that ship didn't had shit it could do, but the Skyhawks and Entendards were in a far superior footing against Harriers, Harriers were never made for dogfights, Skyhawks neither, but skyhawks were faster and more maneuverable, the Entendards were much superior, Mirage III as well, air to air combats were Args.

[@ShopeeMarketteam]

the only reason to go to brazil

[@fsghddj]

SOUNDTRACK: TRAP HEADSTRONG!:)

[@bodarwa]

@Darthwizard your sooooooooo right they always lose in each war from ww2 until iraq and there weapon like shit i know cuz we bought the starberst anti aircraft missile it english and we discoverd it a bull shit just after 1 month.

[@011779]

MAYBE Old MIgs!!! Do your home work before you say Such thing!!!! There are other countrys in south america that has Migs and Russian Su-27 and Su-35!!!!

[@sorrowedpoet]

those planes are fucking old! good video though

[@decep3107]

@hsphr1 lol, jeez, relax man. I just think your deep hatred for the A-4 is funny. No offense meant... Just an airplane, lol.

[@Matheus30741]

@santy1919 secret weapon

[@vonVince]

Brazil needs to team up with Argentina. Malvinas - nada fucklands!

[@santy1919]

0:31 XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[@tameirao]

Problema seu! Não interessa se o país é quebrado, desigual, corrupto, etc... Eu tenho orgulho de ser brasileiro e tento mudar isso a cada dia que passa sendo honesto, pagando minhas contas, etc. Se vc quiser babar ovo de outros países, por mim tudo bem! Mas de qualquer maneira vc é brasileiro! haha!

[@cramerwhite9653]

LOL skyhawk were made in the 60's
