Growler Ball 2021

[@oldfriend327]

3:08 this is absolutely bad ass scraping that coast line with that old song blended with a techno beat kicking in. this whole video is so friggin cool.

[@chasing_dragons]

3:39 This is entire video production is so good and so exilerating. It is like a mini movie/documentary. The choice of music is perfection and the way the music changed going from song 1 to 2, excellent. The one dream I had my entire childhood and early adult years was to be a Marine Corps F-18 pilot. Was not good enough though with the academics. This video takes me back 35 years when flying these things was all I could think about. This part here though at 3:39... seeing those two crew members hold up our flag brings tears of joy to me every time and am not kidding. I have a very deep and very old love for our military, police, fire, ER medical staff. Especially our military though. Thank you and Happy New Year from the bottom of my heart for reading this whoever you are and all the best to you, December 31, 2022.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING VIDEO, MATE. Thanks so much for putting the Australians in there, as well. The sharing of the tech as well as maintaining that brotherhood and alliance we've forged with the US is so important. Cheers!!

[@opticFPV]

Glad you guys are on our side 🤘 Cheers from the US

[@lachlanbell8390]

@@opticFPV Reckon you could send us some help? Dunno if you've seen but we're kinda being crushed under the boot of tyrannical government... and we don't have a 2nd amendment, if y'know what I mean.

[@opticFPV]

@@lachlanbell8390 I'm so pissed for you guys, the citizens of Australia should have never just rolled over and given up their arms... Can only hope that never happens here.

[@goodputin4324]

Yes, becoming the master's dog lol

[@shahrolazri9603]

3.01 - 3.05 got Royal Malaysia Air Force Sukhoi Su 30 MKM, salute 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

[@wafflesnfalafel1]

interesting - Royal Malaysian? I was watching the vid a second time and noticed, wait a minute! Those two in the middle are Sukhoi!

[@shahrolazri9603]

@@wafflesnfalafel1 yeah, thats 2 sukhoi from Royal Malaysia Air Force

[@BrotherBloat]

MVP comment! ty!

[@trs8696]

cheers i was wondering where the sukhois came from!

[@himeclayt]

It takes a lot to create one of these videos, but the pay off is incredible. You've always seemed to one up yourself every year too which is amazing. Best of luck wherever you head to next.

[@_Matsimus_]

Hell yes!

[@acemanyellow13]

Matsimus its nice to see you here too. KZbin nomads never stop wandering around. 🤠

[@ArsenioDev]

One hell of a way to bookend your Growler ball video career, thank you so much for these wonderful videos, we'll all miss em! BZ and good luck on your next assignment!

[@잼덱스]

2:25 that was one helluva landing!

[@santhusithavithanage4890]

Best air force in the world - USA

[@joshuajuarez3471]

Absolutely

[@ssjbssj6052]

Navy

[@lmj06]

I have been waiting for this one, great job

[@Crunchin_time]

1:10 to 1:25 is probably the most awesome 15 seconds of any cruise/ball video I've seen. The cat shot syncing with the music is just INCREDIBLE

[@BlackStarInitiative]

Your channel introduced me to what Growlers are.

[@koolaid203]

Got to be the best vid I have seen on cruise vids this year, Great job to all the Growler Squadrons on this vid!

[@DubDesciple]

4:56 Best afterburner shot I have ever seen. So sick!

[@BNERVS]

Love the RAAF insertion of 6sqn Amazing video bro

[@coolhand9308]

Excellent !!! One of the best recent vid produced ! The 360 cams revolutioned the inboard shootings ! Great job !!!

[@F1yingDutchman33]

Man, I just love that full stall and recovery at 3:25. So fun! :)

[@AfifIdris]

3:10 I see Sukhoi 30. Great video btw!

[@danielsmm4276]

wow this was 3 years ago now and is still by far the best growler ball edit i have ever seen so far to anyone reading this, HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@kilitciali1230]

One of the best quality videos I've seen in a long time.

[@Arcadif]

That was breathtaking. Beautifully done!

[@richc3527]

HOT DANG!! That is some of the most awesome inside-the-cockpit video - next level up! Outstanding DJP!

[@Bazwelle]

Man this video needs more views!!!! This is incredible! Well done!

[@PropertyEnvy]

I didn't want it to end - that was EPIC!

[@Rodg470]

Great video Thanks for the ride

[@OtterEffect]

Just wanted to say a genuine thank you for posting this. Maybe I'll see you up there one day.

[@saltyseadawg4768]

Best Naval Aviation videos right up with Chasse Embarque’s French Rafales.

[@rossforsyth2760]

The Growler Ball videos have been something to look forward to every year and can`t thank you and all the boy n gals involved with the making of these...TOP WORK!!

[@TheFirstBruce]

Thanks for the great vids and soundtracks (Love the Odesza) through the years! Hands down the best squadron / deployment video production I have ever seen.

[@coma13794]

quality gets better every year. I can't think of a better use of these cameras. Thanks for putting it together!

[@SLAF999]

Ohhhhhhh yeah! Incredible job as usual....dude seriously I love 80´s music and now I have the locomotion music in my head hahahahahaha but the images in my head are badass growlers flying!

[@flyrightflight]

I love watching ball and deployment videos for inspiration to create my own style and this is one of my new top favorites.

[@sbeutler]

Nice!!! I was hiking Mildred Point on Mt. Rainier a few years back. Sitting high above the Kautz Creek at 6,000ft, I hear a faint sound of a turbine engine. An AE-18 came over a ridge and into a valley, the plane was below me. I was looking down at it! Awesome day for a fly-by! FLY NAVY!!!

[@mattycnl]

..and that music, terrific covers.

[@12345fowler]

The shot at 23'' with the ship island in the background is kind of beautiful.

[@Sk3tchPad]

Love the EWO reading a whiskey magazine. I've always wondered whether it's tough to focus on the screens while the pilot is maneuvering, but I guess it doesn't bother you guys!

[@ibana8449]

The best aviate clip I have seen in a long time. Great soundtrack and amazing skills putting this all together. All the best from England.

[@efank1789]

only videos in life worth living for

[@PhantomW100]

Are we blind? Deploy the Like Buttons!

[@badlt5897]

Love seeing the RAAF exchange pilot early on. Australia is literally one of the best US allies ever!

[@FairyMuff37]

I have a feeling that isn’t a RAAF exchange officer. I think it’s actually a RAAF jet. It appears to have a captive -9X on the port wing. USN jets weren’t wired for the AIM-9X, but the RAAF ones were AFAIK.

[@mountainchicken459]

3:22 i've never seen the power of the missile/rocket launching off a jet like that, must be incredible, great vid thanks.

[@troyeshee3931]

Missile

[@zetec]

Best ball yet. Thank you for the hard work.

[@makr9978]

Your videos are by far the best fighter jet compilations I've ever seen. Since I saw your last year video I checked every few days if the new one is already there - I couldnt wait and it did pay of. Thank you a lot for your work :)

[@BobTyler321]

This'll be me one day. I'll be hitting up OCS soon enough and won't stop until one day I'm sitting in one of those chairs haha! Never giving up on this dream!

[@max420thc]

Not a good idea to join Biden’s military , appreciate your enthusiasm,

[@BobTyler321]

​@@max420thc I'm not joining a President's military, I'm joining my COUNTRY'S military. The military serves the United States and defends the constitution, but it does not serve at the beck and call of a president. Plus pilot pipeline is 5 years of training so who knows who'll be in charge when I get in.

[@s-jr1233]

3:01 Flying with our Malaysia TUDM Airforce and I wish USAF would fly with us again in 2022 🇲🇾🤝🇺🇲

[@evo_crow3216]

absolutely unbelievable, it's beautiful. Thank you for always doing the work. Kiss goes out from Germany

[@Alex-jb5tb]

F/A-18s and Depeche Mode - this like heaven. Best-made video ever !

[@kylee.witherspoon524]

I've only just discovered these and my sons (ages 4, 7, and 12) are absolutely obsessed with them. They're pretty much just on a loop around our devices these days. I don't think I have the heart to tell them that this is going to be the last one. That's a shame, but I'm definitely grateful for what you've produced. Amazing stuff--I hope you get the opportunity to do it again someday. The F35's up at Hill Air Force Base in Utah (the demo team) could use some of your touch.

[@ErikaMaria-lw8en]

Enemy on our door step here in OZ :-( thank source creator for guys like you indeed... Lets not forget our Aussie pilots here OK... All for one and one for all... Stay safe at gods speed. 💖

[@eugeniocagnoni1698]

Amazing vid man sad its your last growlerball vid

God damn I love these videos!

[@danielramirez9299]

That was flipping awesome!!! Looks like fun 🤩

[@Fl33xx]

WOW. Really Great Again. Go on

[@gandalfhyperdrive]

3:40 I get goose bumps from that part. Amazing work

[@terry9703]

That was absolutely amazing. The video quality was superb. In one section the fighter was in a steep climb. The fighter interior interior, the clouds. and in the distance the waves on the ocean all were in perfect clarity. That was one of the best aviation videos I've seen ever.

[@breadiboo]

amazing shots, thanks for sharing

[@CallsignEskimo-l3o]

Flying formation with the Corsair is pretty cool.

[@SkyhawkDriver]

I spy Oshkosh in this video…also can see where I was parked and camped out at! Great video as always.

[@thealphauser13]

I teared up a little bit for seeing this. It's just pure happiness. It is like a dream that I won't reach. Probably not in this lifetime. But who knows?

[@aldocosta1220]

Wow!! This video was really cool, congratulations for the excellent work

[@lozimba1259]

Wella done... Everythime nice video 😎💪

[@nodnerbhu]

Thank you for everything you have done and we all wish you the best and hope your next adventures are even better than the ones before! Stay safe.

[@FALprofessional]

This is some fucking kickass editing/filmography. I don't know what that camera is exactly - 360*, gyrostablized, but it's a sweet piece of kit. Thanks a bunch for sharing.

[@whitescopemedia]

Sick video as always Dirj!

[@FranklinBurns42]

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the best of the best. Our American overachievers. The cream of the crop. We may have these despicable politicians making us sick in the headlines every day but we still have these wonderful young men and women protecting us. Be proud

[@Rainchild33082]

What a gorgeous video. I can see some of them fly over the lake (Rimrock) I fish at in central WA. Always a welcome sight seeing them dancing through the mountains. Thank you for all you do

[@strahdf]

Breathless video, thank you

[@77knez]

Videos like this take your mind off of all the BS that's happening. From reading the comments, it's nice to see that most people still support our military. All I can say is thanks.

[@lscurtis9158]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@NeilBarker]

Soooooooo good! So much effort goes into filming and editing… just great! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@trs8696]

were they su27 family planes at 3:03?! Fantastic video, cheers from australia

[@azeeq7583]

Is not su27 . Is SU 30mkm from rmaf royal malaysia air force

[@mkiv1501]

best video ive seen on KZbin in my time... speechless

[@BrotherBloat]

awesome video!

[@CopperCityPatriot]

Passenger on a private corporate jet, in 2021. The pilot was a U.S. Marine reservist, with a tie-clip of an F/A-18. When he lifted-off from the runway, we all grasped our seats. Pilot must of thought he was in a NASA rocket. Made-it to an altitude of 42,000 feet, in six minutes. The pilot's response: "Sorry folks. Wanna get ya to your destination in record time." The jet was a Bombardier 7500. And it was a record time...by eleven minutes.

[@coryw7114]

Such an awesome video!!! Videos like this are why I have always loved Naval Aviation. Bravo Zulu and enjoy your next assignment.

[@Falket1973]

Wow .. beautiful video. At 03:03 there are 2 Sukoi 33 infiltration in formation !!!

[@azeeq7583]

Nope thats sukhoi su30 mkm

[@GarageSupra]

2:57 and 3:36 what are the little propellers for on the things hanging off the wings there? Awesome video!

[@optrdocksidebars7106]

They’re ALQ-99 Jammer Pods, and the little propellers are called RATs, Ram Air Turbines that generate the power for the pod by spinning.

[@dhakaboy1]

Nice one mate ..what Beauts !! My biggest regret is when I moved to the USA at a young age, why didn't I join the Marine/Navy/Air Force reserves !!! I am too old now, ha ha !
