I went to the Spirit of St. Louis Airshow where a pair of Growlers from Whidbey Island did a mid-air refueling demo with an MC-130.

[@caprarola26able]

absolutely awesome footage and fantastic editing! Thank you all for your service!!!!!!!!

[@AJFar-tm7dn]

Fly Navy. I grew up less than two miles south of the Quonset Naval Air Station, Rhode Island. The runway was pointed directly over my home. From F-4 Phantoms , F-14 Tomcats to F-18 Hornets ( Growlers ). Thanks for this Incredible Video.

[@dalesharpy9197]

The Beautiful Pacific Northwest, Home of NAS Whidbey Island. From Prowlers to Growlers!!! Much love watching you fly through the Cascades as I Land Survey down below! Lynden, WA.

[@Tripplebeem]

As a person who sleeps soundly at night knowing that people are willing to remain diligent and protect my freedom, it helps me get that sleep knowing that the EA-18g and other variants in the F/A-18A/B/C/D/E/F/G line are out there doing their thing.

[@ralph-hudson]

Well done and thank you for your service.

[@Spacegoat92]

When i was a kid, my friends and i use to make fighter jet home movies in our back yard. All i had to use was my collection of model jets. What i would have given back then to have access to videos like this!!!

[@cosmicchief1396]

You should post your uncut cloud surfing footage, I would watch hours of that.

Great video. You don't often get a random PLAT launch thrown into something like this, its usually a trap.

[@pranavr4406]

See you in the skies boys! I'll be up there eventually!

[@DavidGatto]

The unsung heroes of the modern battlefield. Every fighter pilot knows his greatest asset is a strong EMF offensive on the enemies defenses.

EA-18G Growler is probably the most effective fighter bomber in the world right now..

[@sbeutler]

Love to see these planes out in the wild! I see Fifes Peak, Bumping Lake and Glacier Peak in this footage. Keep flying VR1355, good to see you out there!!!

[@2atalkandpolitics422]

Much respect for the super hornet and hornets. Not a huge fan of them since they replaced the awesome tomcat but none the less they’re amazing planes and I’ll take them over 35s

[@cwagner122]

What is the purpose of flying hook down gear up? To make a pass over the carrier to insure extension is only thing i can figure but have no clue.

[@billfish6244]

Fantastic video. What’s the music ? Fly Navy!!!!

[@DirtyJerseyProductions]

The first song is "Loyal" by ODESZA, and the second one is "Fire Walk With Me" by The Black Keys

[@randallmacdonald4851]

@3:13, the Meatball is centered. Damn, I'm just learning but for me, the ball keeps refusing to stay in the center. Must be something wrong with the carrier!

[@eacmdq]

Amazing video!! Great editing and outstanding music.. just one question, What king of gear you use for filmmaking?

[@DirtyJerseyProductions]

Michel Invernoz it’s a combination of GoPros, iPhones, and DSLR cameras. For the most part, footage inside the cockpit is some sort of a GoPro Hero. For the 2020 video I also used a GoPro MAX.

[@eacmdq]

Dirty Jersey Productions pretty good and what DSLR and lenses you used? 👏👏👏

[@DirtyJerseyProductions]

@@eacmdq I honestly can't speak for all the shots, because most of the footage was provided from multiple squadrons. But I usually use my Canon EOS 70D with a 50mm prime lens.

[@skhaiwalker5408]

0:47 "look Ma, no hands!"

[@micky-jproductions5775]

So do these have a more limited flight envelope or can they go just as hard as the F/A when needed?

[@MLOCharmer]

So I took a second look, I'm guessing you are based in japan? I'm trying to get on a carrier as a DV. No idea how to get started. Are you serving now? I used to work at MCAS El Toro. It was a shame that the base closed. One more annoying question, what did you shoot the video with?

[@yoyoyoyoshua]

@ 6:05 was that at the Tacoma airshow?

[@tijmenvrijburg8682]

5:44 what?!!! That’s so fricking close, how is that even allowed?

[@hugorissling8464]

Fighter pilot mentality, You have to be somewhat crazy to become one :D

[@TheZenaMan]

you're supposed to do that, limits your exposure to potential threats on the other side. roll inverted once over, pull, and roll level

[@MLOCharmer]

Nice video! What kind of editing software did you use?

[@DirtyJerseyProductions]

MaryLea Ostle Thanks! For this one I used Adobe Premiere Pro. In my previous videos I used Final Cut Pro X

[@MLOCharmer]

@@DirtyJerseyProductions nicely done!

[@katechon-qd2cl]

3:50 The Pilot looks like the young Val Kilmer👍... ...i said young not old😉

you guy's fly multiship in IMC?! 4:00

[@SSaugaCriss]

they are visual

[@craig3665]

SSaugaCriss that definitely looks like they are flying in instrument meteorological conditions at 4:00

[@SSaugaCriss]

@@craig3665 imc.. but formation is in-sight.

[@everythingman987]

When you have FLIR and formation lights, there is no such thing as IMC lol All joking aside, remember the Navy have different rules (NATOPS) than the FAA do. Prescribed weather minima for general and commercial aviation pilots isn't going to do Military pilots any good, seeing as their job involves combat.

[@craig3665]

Everythingman I’m coming from an Army background we never will fly IMC in formation I mean really unless we are filing IFR we avoid clouds like the plague.

[@everythingman987]

The Navy's pretty lazy when it comes to regulations on wearing gloves aren't they lol. Epic video my dude. The Black Keys couldn't be a better music choice.
