VFA-11 Cruise Video 2022

The Red Rippers deployed as a member of Carrier Air Wing One (CVW-1).

[@delta8365]

Not that anybody cares but this video was the one that that motivated me to keep on the path to fly in the navy! I’m happy to say today I was selected to be a Marine corp Pilot.

[@path9846]

BZ…thanks for sharing and keep grind’n…well worth it!

[@spamramm568]

Seeing an American F/A-18 flying with two Greek F-4’s, a F-15, F-16’s, and a tornado would’ve been an awesome sight

[@jordan38r]

i was going to ask who was still flying the f-4s.

[@christophersbarounis8473]

i saw it

[@Pricklyhedgehog72]

Great vid'. It captures all the drama of Naval air ops, the danger, excitement, fun, and the camaraderie.

[@TheCloudhopper]

What an outstanding cruise video, great work. Thank you and all men and women of CCSG-8 for standing guard in Europe this year and protecting us, your service is very much appreciated. Love from Ireland.

[@philcutler1123]

Fantastic! Great to see the Rippers still clowning around and tearing up the skies. You will always have a place in my heart. Old Ripper from 72-75 AT-2 Cutler

[@kwaktak]

Cheers! I was ships company on the Forrestal (88-90) when your squadron was still flying the F-14A. Now THAT was an aircraft! FID is razor blades now but I read somewhere that its anchors went to the Truman so it's good to see that the spirit goes on. I wish we had the tech to save the memories with the folks back home and to remember years later so from an old salt thanks for sharing.

[@dennispetretti3384]

One of the coolest video's ever. Well done, brought back a lot of memories. Former A-4 type, VA-94 1968-69

[@HEATER_]

12:54 Two seater Eurofighter? The best ending credits...period. SUPER PROUD of GonG!!! GREAT music too! Thank you awesome people!

[@johnmoyer9719]

The topic makes it cool no matter what. The editing (looks like a lot of Gopro 360) knocks it out of the park. Absolutely outstanding.

[@gjferg]

My oh my, the old VHS Tailhook Teasers have sure come a long way! AWESOME Video!!!!

[@Fightmechanic]

Here's to Us! Also thanks for NOT using all techo/ house music. The throwbacks where a breath of fresh air.

Fantastic. Thank you Red Rippers and all other Navy staff. We appreciate your service!

[@offcenterforge1098]

Some of the most memorable days of my life are my Med cruise with VF-11 in 1986. Red Rippers forever. I terminated shore duty to join VF-11. I wish I would have known at the time what an epic event it was.

[@8888shooter]

Rippin may not be easy, but you guys sure make it look that way! BZ to CVW-1 and the entire Red Ripper roster, from the Wardroom to the Goat Locker and the Enlisted Shops. It takes a village and you guys do it with style.

[@n1msu]

Who filmed and edited this video? I've only just come across these VFA deployment videos but they're amazing to watch. I am also a massive F/A 18 fan/geek etc, it's great to see some little pics of the avionics inside. Saw below that this team are in Europe? Thanks for your service guys if any of you see this. Sadly not in Europe, but I'm in England.

[@josemas1520]

Hi, guys. You have flown over my city, Seville, and you have flown with the eurofighters of wing 11. I hope you have enjoyed my land, Spain...

We had a great time training with the 111th squadron! Seville was also a beautiful city. 😃

Recognizing a lot of faces from the last Reunion. It was a lot of fun for me and JB to meet the Currently Serving guys and gals in the Red Rippers. Seeing some of the guys from my era is bittersweet in that we are all on the 4th wire. No Bolters allowed! 🤣🤣🤣

This is some of the best footage I've ever seen absolutely spot on. The choice of music is very disappointing but its you're video. Metallica or heavy music would've made this full on. Not a criticism at all and again, best footage I've seen. Thankyou 👍

[@newflover]

Copyright laws, sure they would love to use famous bands, but ha Metallica would sue the crap out of them.

[@RedFail1-1]

Where were you guys that had an F-4? Thought they were all retired except for one Country still using em.

[@FRED-CONNOR]

Hallo May i ask a Question? Before you land on a Carrier, is the procedure to drop external fuel tanks, or Weapons you carry (if you would carry in this case) ?

[@jdt95123]

Nope, normally everything stays on unless it is an exceptional circumstance.

[@FRED-CONNOR]

@@jdt95123 OK. Thank you Jack. 👍🏼
