The more i watch these awsome jets,the more i respect the ground crew,all the little things they do that all piolots understand there jet is good.Amazes me.One of those things you will never understand till you have to do it yourself

Beautiful aircraft. Can`t wait for the Block III superhornet with conformal fuel tanks.

Multiple roaring of all these engines, thats a real rare sound! =D

The Growler or Grizzly is basically an F model Rhino with EW pods and EW warfare suite

[@jamesyak52]

anyone else see him lock up the mains at the end of the runway? lol

[@4KI75E4NN]

Coolest military jet ever ! And the best is: our German Bundeswehr ordered some F-18 lately. Finally we are getting some really cool and reliable jets for our military :)

[@harris8401]

Did they? German or Finland

That's a Navy landing, right there ;-) Perkele! Good plane though.

My thoughts exactly. Why flare when you're trying to go down anyway 🙂

The growler is a giant leap forward in electronic warfare in the air, can enable its forces to dominate the sky. Outside of the USA only Australia operate the growler.

10 taikka 12 Growleria voisi olla aivan ok. Ilman optiota F-18 E/F Super Horneteista. Osan voisi kattaa robottilennokeilla. Muttei sentään aivan kaikkia. Puolustustorjuntaa kaivataan edelleen totta kait.

US should have done same with F14, use same airframe and update engines and electronics and it would be still 3rd best fighter after 5th generation F22-F35 planes.

[@TheZippaduppa]

Nope

[@VarvasNukka]

IIRC one of the big reason the F14 was scrapped was due to it being sold to certain countries and the possibility of them becoming a threat to the US if support was kept.

Wow,,, what a plane... in a previous video, I gave poor comments about such a nice plane... sorry for that.. But may I know what is its comparison to Rafael, f35 and SU35 etc... is it a 5th generation jet?

[@_flyingcat_7527]

F18 is 4th gen

[@_flyingcat_7527]

@Stimpy&Ren i mean id cobsider the su57 to be 5th gen its just theres only like 5 of them

@Stimpy&Ren yes but it still counts as a 5th gen

@Stimpy&Ren its not a prototype anymore, a few were deployed in syria. Russia just doesnt have the money to make any more

Growlers can`t replace Super hornet`s or F-35`s

We have now the HX project to replace Hornets. My opinion is that 65 Super Hornets + 20 Growlers would be nice and strong combination for FAF.

[@Nemesis-on9gq]

Unfortunately we already have Greens and leftists whining about the planned 64 aircraft, so 85 is pretty much a dream not to become a reality.

These planes are not Growlers!!

[@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM]

Yes they're

[@ryankc3631]

Navy carrier aircraft have 3 digit number markings. The first digit in those number identifies the type of aircraft, like fighter, attack, AEW or EW. It helps make it easier for shipboard controllers to identify and control various kinds of aircraft. The "5" in 516 on this aircraft identifies it as an EW aircraft. Among other ways, that's one way you can tell it's a Growler.

[@rdr8147]

The Vienna sausage looking pods on the wingtips are your clue these are Growlers

@SMOG The F18/A Hornet you are speaking of is a completely different aircraft than the F-18G we see here. It didn't come into production until 2009.

[@waynemitchell1076]

@SMOG I didn't say it was a 5th generation plane. I said it was a very different plane design to the original F18. Don't put words in my mouth. Just semantics

[@waynemitchell1076]

@Stimpy&Ren HORNET, Hornet! Not the SUPER HORNET, the Super Hornet! Super Hornet first flight was in 1995 or 1997! Where this EA 18 G Growler ALSO, also is made and GROWLER's first flight was in 2007 maybe!
