Oh my god #3 was a video game. Whoever made this just slapped together whatever they could find on TH-cam.
Goats DCS World 😂
@@jackrobinson1073 Actually, no. That's not DCS World, that's the super hornet. The hornet we have in DCS World is classified, and also you can see it's a video game because of the horrible landing.
Carlo Scopelleti that is dsc u dumb.
@@marckurta7319 but there is no Super hornet in dcs
Carlo Scopelleti I agree, it was either FSX or P3D, and it looks like the VRS F/A-18E SuperHornet, or the Superbug. Definitely not real. The landing is dangerously close to the edge of the runway, and the approach is horrible. He is going to fast, as indicated by the AOA gauge and the symbol on the HUD, and his V/S on touchdown is well over 1000 f/m. If this was real, the pilot’s career would be over. The LSO would have told him to waveoff, and not following the LSOs orders is bad news. It is either one of those sims with the SuperHornet, a good camera mod, and a carrier add-on. No matter what, this pilot is not skilled at all, and this is not real.
Just to clarify, night vision goggles are not allowed for carrier landings. The lack of depth perception makes it way too dangerous. As for all of the modern aids, INS , GPS etc., they're great to have and use, but you had better be ready to lose all of the aids and still be able to get aboard even on those super dark nights with high winds and pitching deck. That's why I did most of my practice landings with the systems purposely degraded. (Former F-18 driver with 500 carrier landings.)
Kelly Williams absolute madlad
Thank you for your service. Just watching those guys landing on that postage stamp was hairy enough for me. The scariest flight I ever took was coming into Menorca Spain on a DC-10 when we caught a gust of crosswind just as the pilot set it down. Everyone on that plane screamed. Aviaco airlines was nervous making.
I am totaly impressed. This looks fore me superhuman skill already with day Light. Just watching this on a smartphone I have gooseskin. Wow.....
Kelly Williams The new F-35 helmet has built in night vision and thermal vision.
The pilot of that C-130 retired with a little over 1600 arrested landings. He completed his 1500th in 1980 while he was CO on the Saratoga.
"Look ma...NO HOOK" PRICELESS!!!
Having Beta helps....
Bahahahahahaa
Reverse thrusters/rockets?
That was my Skipper, James Flatley, piloting that C-130. Great Commanding Officer and a real pro.
@@rustyoilburner, I was on the Sara for that 1980 Med cruise, too. AIMD, IM-3 Shop 6. Capt. Flatley was a class act!
My Grandfather flew in the Navy as a career. He is a retired commander. There is nothing more interesting to me than listening to his stories about flying on and off carriers, how they practiced aerial maneuvers (like purposely stalling out their plane?!), as well as the technology they used for navigation and sub detection. He is an amazing man. He flew private planes for a long time until his cancer came. When i think of him, he is still the man waving his wings at the airstrip as he comes to land or takes off to leave. He may not be able to fly anymore, but nothing made him happier career wise. Id give anything to see him wave is his wings before landing one more time. Its how he always said hi as soon as he could, my favorite way he said i love you
Wonder what it was like... say in the 60s and 70s with the F4s and A4s landing at night with minimal electronics, bad weather, NO NVGs, and no GPS... that would be amazing.
Its very intense sir. but oh so satisfying
It was amazing..and fun to watch
While they didn't have GPS, they had gyro-based dead-reckoning INS. Took a while to align before flight: th-cam.com/video/VFuY72dqDw8/w-d-xo.html
Dafnessific: That was an interesting link. Thanks. I vaguely remember talk about those systems, in some aircraft back then but, for the planes I flew, (F8, A4, T2 and T39) all we had available for NAV was a TACAN, ADF and one radio we could use as ADF to home in on a UHF radio frequency. The F8 did have a SPIN10 which was similar to ILS for glideslope (but it never worked in my Squadron) so, when weather was below TACAN mins we came in using a PAR. Oh ya, we also had a knee board, with map and card, for the old faithful, dead reckoning procedure.
First time I ever saw a INS was after retirement, in civilian life: the A320. boy, was that a game changer.
Those were the best of the best. Pretty soon you'll have drones fighters flying the skies, limited by hardware, not human fragility.
Diggin’ the background music. I’ve never heard this, but True to Life is one of the best songs of all time.
More like 5 random aircraft carrier landings I found on the internet
"and some of them from games"
And they can't even tell the difference between the real ones and the fake ones. If you're going to steal other people's videos, do it right..
Yeah, the video needs a new titles "10 minutes of video that shows I know nothing about aviation..."
Save us all the time.
True but it still got over 8m views so.....
@@Schwedeballz never said it didnt
THAT FIRST LANDING WAS PRETTY AMAZING CONSIDERING THE PILOT WAS NO PRO.
Vf2 no Pro pretty cool a 10 mile and turn around in less than a minute and a half
No Pro, great guy.
One Star on his head and I think he just got #2!!
SHIT HOT BREEEEAAAAAAKKK
I don’t think that means anything.....
"It takes an incredible amount of skill to land a plane on an aircraft carrier".
Maybe but this video shows it takes no amount of skill or effort on your part to put together a Top Fives video.
Ted Stryker: "You have to come in pretty low to land these things."
diGritz1 just some skill there’s a strap to get to the aircraft then that locks on then stops it r/wooosh
RazorWolf Taylor what’s he being wooooshed on? Also, it’s four Os...
diGritz1 did he say it takes skill to put vids like this together? No he said that it takes an incredible amount of skill to land on an aircraft carrier. These are 2 completely different things so I dont understand your comment...
@@UptightGG just another person looking for 230 likes on their comment..🤔
One of the greatest experiences I've ever had, landing on an aircraft carrier. These pilots are the best.
A pilot whom I knew tried to get his take-off switched so he could take me for the ride of my life in the back seat of his Phantom. However, the captain kept him on schedule during this military operation. But I did get to fly supersonic later aboard the British Airways Concorde from Newfoundland to Heathrow. Flight of my life--2.5 hours. 60-000 freet. Breathtaking take-off and hair - raising landing. Exhilarating.
@@kenbuckley3294 that's sick.
I landed on the USS Enterprise when I went for my first deployment(which was half way through its tour) then got transferred to the USS GHWB for its 2nd deployment and flew off it a month before it went back to home port.
I consider myself lucky to have experienced that.
As seen here in the 3rd landing sequence, The C-130 Hercules holds the record for the largest and heaviest aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier. In October and November 1963, a USMC KC-130F (BuNo 149798), bailed to the US Naval Air Test Center, made 21 unarrested landings and take-offs on the USS Forrestal at a number of different weights culminating in a final landing and take off with 30,000 lbs. of cargo. Approximately half it's usable weigh lifting capacity. The pilot, LT (later RADM) James Flatley III, USN, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his participation. The tests were highly successful, but the idea was considered too risky for routine "Carrier Onboard Delivery" (COD) operations. Instead, the C-2 Greyhound was developed as a dedicated COD aircraft. (The Hercules used in the test, most recently in service with Marine Aerial Refueler Squadron 352 (VMGR-352) until 2005, is now part of the collection of the National Museum of Naval Aviation at NAS Pensacola, Florida.)
can we just take into the fact one of them is a flight simulator😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao, the pilot did good tho ngl.
@@mikevictorcharlie No, no he did not.
@@o3941 At least he didn't die
@@mikevictorcharlie Again, the only risk he ran was heart disease from sitting at a computer. I'm at just as much risk as I post this.
it wasn’t a flight simulator tho
I feel like this is just 5 carrier landings you found on youtube...
Which you then found on TH-cam, compiled for your convenience.
For sure. The ones at the end were more impressive than #5
pretty much is
Clay Yosten the problem is the "most amazing" claim. The first two are ordinary, the others mildly interesting
pretty much what this person did
Always amazing when a Naval Aviator lands safely back on deck.
Day 50 of the quarantine: I'm watching jets land on a simulation
ikr
We live in a simulation.
jeep xj commie hunter and cuz of that pandemic there is quarantine. So basically hes right. Poor fool
Old pilots often say that any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
In fact they're stupid
god I love that saying thats funny
OtoeTiger88 says someone who obviously has never set foot in a cockpit, a great landing is one you can fly away from in the same aircraft
Said no Kamikaze pilot ever
They didn't ride 115mil. $ aircrafts back then
It looks easy.... when you're watching, but seeing their point of view? it's pretty scary to think a little mistake can cause a lot of damage, and night time, that takes incredible skill, these guys definitely have my respect for doing what they do.
And yet, my wife can't pull into our driveway without running into the grass and over my hose.
Raise the hose 18" off the ground , fixed firmly both ends, across the drive..Just to be on the safe side.
Ha ha! Made me laugh! I feel your pain....
Just be thankful she is'nt backing in! (lol)
And taking out the mailbox when she leaves again...
Randy Porter Maybe she thinks the hose is a “ wire “ 🥴
brave men defending the free world for decades, thanks to all of you involved, now and then and in the future
Lol number 1 says on his helmet "no pro"
It’s amazing to see these pilots take off and land on aircraft carriers in person !! My son serves on the USS Nimitz, and I took a tiger cruise last December on the Nimitz! What an experience it was to see in person!! Thank you to all our service men and women!!
Worked on the roof of the JFK; yes, it is better in person.
Any successful Aircraft Carrier Landing should be considered amazing.. just sayin..
Ain't no such thing as an "Aircraft Carrier Landing", more like a "Aircraft Carrier Crashing" to me.
chris s - EXACTLY!!! 1,000% true. It’s like trying to run jump on a stamp 10 feet in front of you. Lol, good luck, dude!
how was the first one amazing?!
face palm....
"If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you can use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing" - Chuck Yeager
What always amazes me is the landing gear of these aircraft that are strong enough to withstand all that force of the aircraft being slammed onto the deck time after time.
Gosh fighter pilot still one of the coolest jobs a man can have in my opinion
The best part of the Hercules landing, which was a test by the Navy to see if they could do it if the situation ever arose is that the flight crew were in fact inexperienced in with multi engine aircraft like that, and had only just learned it for the sake of the trials. Pure balls of steel.
Number 3 is a video game, man. pay attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes in fact, it is the VRS Superhornet used in connection with Microsoft FSX flight sim (I have it) - and it's very good add on as you can see, but I recognized it immediately because the mirrors gave it away (had a daytime reflection which it always has- unlike the DCS models).
Definitely real.
You're right no one is on the flight deck to tie and chalk the plane. I was station on USS Constellation CV 64 and USS Nimitz CVN 68 (along side my older brother)
hahaha yes ! on a video taken from the DCS aerial simulation.
Well they never mentioned it is only irl
This is literally your average carrier landings........
Antonio Defaria I mean besides the harrier that ain’t normal
Crb well then why would there be a nose stall then
Nope, the C-130 was never designed to land on a carrier. Amazing an aircraft that size with no tailhook could actually do it.
NO landing on a carrier is "average", couch pilot.
The 5th and 4th are just normal, 3 is from a VR GAME, 2nd one was cool cuz c-130 and 1st was interesting so only cool ones are 2 and 1 like bruh they were lazy with this :(
Wow! I never heard of the "stool" before. Such precision--especially since the pilot cannot see it. As "they" say, "You learn something new every day." To me, ALL carrier landings are amazing. Landing on a narrow runway with only a short distance in which to land, and having to do this with full throttle in case you miss and have to go around and try again, and with the carrier pitching and rocking.... I salute all you pilots!
Look ma! No HOOK! 😂👏
Rudy Flores oops
Rudy Flores harrier landed on a container ship (badly) still funny
I was amazed. They must have very good brakes, tires, and highly-reversing props on those powerful engines.
HERCULES!!!

Landing on an aircraft carrier takes a lot of skill. But these were just normal landings that this dude found on the internet.🤣
Love that Harrief landing with NO nose gear !!👍👍
Love the "look Ma, no hook" logo on the 4 engine turboprop.
The pilot of that C-130 was Lt. James H. Flatley III. In 1980, Capt. James H. Flatley III was my CO on the USS Saratoga.
lol "look ma, no hook!" :D
that was the easy part, to hard part its take off !
Oğuz Gülbay awesome
Thank-you !
No mention of Captain Eric " winkle" Brown, the world record holder for carrier landings. The first man to land a jet fighter and a twin engine fighter bomber on an aircraft carrier, he was instrumental in all the major carrier inventions and improvements, such as the angled flight deck, the steam catapult and the fresnel or "meatball" landing light system. A national hero and a truly great man yet he was never knighted. Considering they hand these things out like smarties ( m&m's) to low life footballers and crap pop stars isn't it about time he got a posthumous one.??
Couln't agree more.
Is there a possibility that one was offered but that it was declined?
Guy will make a ton if he retires and flies commercial one day. These are the kinda folks you want piloting your plane.
Two of the five deserved to be here. To say that bringing in a wounded bird is not in the top five is insane.
Any night landings deserves to be here ;-)
All landings on a carrier are amazing to this ole grunt!
The C130 and the WWII pilots landing with their aircraft shot to hell were the most amazing to me. The night landing was incredible as well. "Trust your instruments." 😲
My goodness, America has the worlds finest pilots, educated, professional, and humble. I am proud to be a veteran and citizen of this amazing country! We are an industrious people.
Being in the Marine Corps, I had the opportunity to be on an aircraft carrier and watched the takeoffs and landings. Amazing to say the least. I would like some pilots to comment here about their experiences.
A, 1 was a sim, B I didn’t see any “crazy” carrier landings, this wasn’t a top 5 video it was a video of just some normal carrier landings
That C-130 definitely was crazy
@@FiestyFez *gear
Non were sims
Say number 3 was a simulator
@@pizza_parker9689 no simulator is that bouncy during a landing. It's real.
Surprising number of moment to moment adjustments on power and the stick to remain on line. Looks very difficult, and obviously requires unbroken concentration. Great flyers those guys... and gals.
That's as badass as it gets.
Yes amazingly ordinary carrier landings
Probably true, but for those of us who have never done it, it's nice to see a selection of "ordinary" (if that can ever be called ordinary) landings and special ones to see how the whole system works. Have you done a lot of these?
Mr Smith I wouldn’t call a Harrier landing with no front landing gear “ordinary”, the C130 landing I don’t see on a daily basis. But I get your point, also one was sim landing 😂
In 1986, I was 21 years old. I watched the film, "Top Gun." Damn, that looked cool. I called the US Navy. Turned out that only officers are allowed to pilot aircraft. And you need a college degree to become an officer. I was just a poor boy from South-central Illinois with no chance of obtaining a college degree. But at 53, damn, that still looks cool.
Good news Freddy, Heatblur are releasing an F-14 for the DCS simulator and it reeks of Top Gun!! You'll be able to live out your Maverick dreams in the most awesome way. I think it formally releases in Feb, 2019.
Can't wait ;)
@@----.__ sweet!!!
You could have joined the service as a warrant officer helo pilot.
I too love the idea of flying a military jet but it wasn't in the cards. But what I could do and did do was get my private pilots license. As a 25 year old pilot, I got to fulfill some of those great feelings of being in charge of where and when I could go. Flying the backcountry of Idaho is probably one of the greatest rewards I've accomplished. Get your license and go have fun. It's the best.
bruzote Only after enlisting and getting a degree while you served, you may be selected if you are the crème de la crème in your MOS and/or unit. You don't get to skip right up to warrant officer without doing an outstanding job.
That AV8B landing was very impressive ...good pilot!
Even though I know I'm watching a video, I still get really tense and my heartrate actually goes up. I don't have a clue how these amazing pilots are able to do what they do, even at night and in a rainstorm. Much respects to them all.
I'd say the most amazing deck landing ever was done by Squadron Commander Edwin Harris Dunning in August 1917, when he made the very first successful landing on what was the first Aircraft carrier, the HMS Furious, with Dunning flying a Sopwith Pup biplane fighter.
The way they did this back then, was to have the plane and the ship move at equal speed so the plane would be hanging still in the air. They had attached leather straps on the ends of the wings and the fuselage and deckhands would grab onto those and manhandle Dunning's plane down.
In the annals of Naval aviation Dunning has rightfully claimed his place. But he couldn't enjoy the accolades for long, because after another successful landing the next day, he tried it for the third time and things went awry.
Keep in mind how this worked: the plane and the ship had to move at equal speed with no margin for error but even a biplane such as a Sopwith Pup is much faster than a world war one era battleship, so while the ship was moving at its fastest speed, the plane was flying at its slowest. And on that third landing attempt the engine of Dunning's plane stalled which made the plane slam into the deck, which knocked Dunning unconscious and then with the shock actually getting the engine going again, the plane bounced up in the air and before the deckhands could grab it, it fell off the side into the sea.
Again: the plane flew at its slowest and the ship sailed at its top speed, so by the time The Furious had turned around to retrieve Dunning from the ocean it was already too late.
I dare any naval pilot to step into a flight simulator and try landing a plane like Dunning did, I doubt ANY could pull it off.
Which landing, the first or the third? Apparently you have never flown an aircraft in a formation, or refueled a fighter at altitude from a C-130 when the C-130 is maxed out and the fighter is at high AOA. I would venture that any qualified Naval Aviator, any qualified bush pilot, and any helicopter pilot would manage to put the aircraft on the deck. Harrier pilots make zero relative-speed carrier landings frequently. Also, I would start to question whether you have ever driven in traffic where all the cars are moving at the same speed. Being first is always an accomplishment, but it doesn't mean that those that follow are any less talented or skilled. Basically, you lack the knowledge to understand the inanity of your challenge.
I've been driving cars for 17 years and counting without causing a single accident and I'm very familiar with the highway and traffic jams thank you very much.
"Being first is always an accomplishment, but it doesn't mean that those that follow are any less talented or skilled"
True but you overlook some very important things which come with being the first...
Basically all three of those landings (even the failed one) were incredible feats of teamwork not only by Dunning AND the deck crew, Try to snatch a plane by leather straps hanging from the wings and fuselage and manhandle it down while it flies at stalling speed.
s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/8f/16/64/8f1664962cc695c52a3b44beaf3b9889.jpg
Also take note that there were NO on board radios, there was NOBODY from the tower to talk Dunning in on where the deckhands were, to slow down, speed up or when to fly away again and abort the landing because of the conditions not being right for a successful landing. Also there were NO headphones on the deck hand's heads to coordinate what they were supposed to do AND very likely, NO BRIEFING ON HOW TO GET AT IT! They were asked to pull a plane from the air and they hit the ground running.

Harrier and Helicopter pilots are constantly being updated on the situation while they come in for a landing, if it isn't by the crews on board the carrier following his every move on the radar screen, then it is by their on board flight systems. Squadron Leader Dunning had NONE of those aids.
aircrewremembered.com/editorial/resources/dunning-overboard2-w800.jpg
Try to replicate the scenario with a modern crew and a modern pilot and tell them "Okay, your guy is flying a WW-1 era biplane, there are leather straps attached to his wings and fuselage, your task is to get hold of those straps and pull the plane from the sky, in addition there is NO radio, you have NO way to communicate with the others while this is happening, now go do it." very likely they would look at you and go "No way, Impossible!"
At least acknowledge Squadron Commander Dunning's cast iron balls for doing what he did.
aircrewremembered.com/editorial/resources/dunning-in-water-w800.jpg
Doing something first definitely takes big brass ones. There are PLENTY of pilots with the stones to give something like this a shot. Why do you think there are so many applicants for Test Pilot School and the Astronaut program.
Also, while being close to stall speed is an extra complicating factor, matching velocity is something we do every single time a helicopter lands on a ship. And on the smaller ships that involves the rotors being within about 20’ of the hangar doors.
I realize Navy pilots are highly trained and well above normal men and women but man, that first night landing on a pitching and rolling deck has got to be a white knuckle event; sucking up some seat cover for sure! In this video it may be a SIM, as some have commented, but it is done in real life all over the world's seas, so IMO my comment stands, it has to be a "significant emotional event".
Whatever you think of these...God Bless our service men for what they do for our freedom
Top gun in real life, no acting just pure skill.
These guys are amazing, and I mean everyone on those ships! Wow! Amazing work here.
Should have included "Winkle" Brown . Ist man to land a jet on a carier, 1st to land a twin 2400+ landings
He's not "American" so therefore it won't count on this chanel.
2nd one was dicey! Looked like a pretty good settle in close/at the ramp....but he was correcting with added power to smooth out the descent.
I've never been in the military, and it's one of the few regrets of my life. I love everything, navy. Especially carriers. I would love to be working on that deck as those birds are coming in. I'd love to fly one, but I don't have the stomach for it. I can't ride a roller coaster without puking. I'll never forgive myself for not enlisting. My upmost respect to any and all veterans.
The most amazing aircraft carrier landing I witnessed was my landing in TOP GUN for NES. Shit was impossible!
You know I landed it the first time I ever played it, then never did it again.
" this ship is trailing smoke as the pilot..."
They have very amazing skills💪
May my Country have one like this carriers
#2... big prop plane. The pilot landed that aircraft so SMOOOOTH!
Absolutely brilliant.
I don't know how much I *don't* know about carriers and jets to make me appreciate the difficulty these men and their crews go through just to make an *ordinary* landing let alone a problematic one. That said, these guys and their machines and all their training and all of their crews are truly incredible and elite. The sheer volume of training these guys must go through is probably really impossible for a person like myself to truly comprehend. All I can do is say thank you to all these military folks and their dedicated families, heroes all of them.
Captain: You're going to do a night flight
Me: NAH BRO im good with day shift!
These PILOT'S are the REAL DEAL 👏👏👏👏👏🤘😊👍🇬🇧✌️
Out of the 10 carrier landings that I so selflessly watched, these are the TOP 5 CARRIER LANDINGS OF ALL TIME!!! I have no shame in lying through my teeth just to get more views and subscribers.
5 Amazing Aircraft Carrier Landings and 5 ads!
when you've watched literally every youtube video during quarantine and now your watching planes land on boats...
I have nothing but pride for our pilots,I think they’re the best in the business,other countries may have aircraft landing on carriers,but we’ve got more of them doing it routinely.
OH MY GOD...these men who land/fly these jets.........magnificent
"I didn't realize how bad I was shaking until after..."
That's a pilot with A: Some really big ones, and B: a pilot who absorbed 100% of his training.
1:25 the classic wedge E removal shuffle, belts looked a little loose ^^
that night landing...gave me the chills...
I have the greatest respect for Naval Aviators. Having said that, I was sitring in DC Central on USS Carl Vinson discussing some things with the Reactor Officer, I am a retired Nuclear qualified CPO, when the CO made an all hands annoucement stating that CAG had made the 30,000th arrested landing on Carl Vinson in three years. The RO looked at me and said "Ya know, Chief, something you can do 30,000 times in three years just doesn't seem that hard." Well said, Mo Gamma You who served with us know who I mean. MMC(SS) USN Ret.
"I feel like this is just 5 carrier landings you found on youtube" ..... ME TOO !!
I thought about landing on the Ranger with my hang glider from Grouse mountain back when it was in Vancouver harbour in June 1992, could have done it as the decks were clear, but wasn't sure how they would have received an unannounced unlicenced aircraft in controlled airspace.
#3 is a game...Unless the pilot can snap his neck 180 degrees lol No one was even on deck
These pilots are awesome. Mahoney is number 1.
Landing on a flight deck = difficult at best
Night Time = OMG.
TOTAL RESPECT ✊🏼
Night time in bad weather = OMFG
Likewise, absolute respect.
F Dc it was a video game 😂
1st clip: that's called a "shit hot break". Meant to get down a lot faster than a standard landing.
Put it down in style what it's all about
Lol how is it faster ? He started over the deck ?
@@danielkirkland3366 look up case 1 and you'll understand
That really isn't the point if a shb
There are cables to catch the jet. And jet never slows down it's speed because if they failed catch the cable jet will have enough speed to fly from other end.
These guys have The Right Stuff.
Steely stones on these guys. Those night landings, oh man.
All I can say is WOW! I never thought I'd get to see a cockpit view of landing on a carrier! Incredible! I am a GA pilot but I can't even imagine landing on what probably looks like a postage stamp-size deck in the middle of the ocean when you're descending to get into approach distance, and at probably 150 mph (or more?) is just astounding! KEEP SAFE GUYS, and bless all of you working on those dangerous decks out there in the sea! (How they can do that at night is just mind-blowing!)
How fast are passenger jets flying when they land?

Это очень и очень круто
I miss the "amazing"....but respect to all the pilots. Not only in this video.
RIP.... My condolences from the Netherlands
The C-130s and the Harrier were the only amazing ones...
Both very impressive!
Especially the C130, Unbelievable! I really didn't think it was possible!
I believe a C130 was only ever landed on a carrier once, and everybody thought it was incredible 😂
Hear ye, hear ye! The expert has spoken! I would like to take you with me on a flight on, say a trainer, and then bail out right in the middle of the air and let you land the them damn thing on a carrier. Maybe you'd then also be impressed by anybody else who can successfully land on a carrier. You'd probably be none of them but dead. ;)
slowpoke96z28 Did you see the wing damage to the WW2 Douglas bomber/torpedo plane?
In case you didn't notice, the pilots throttle to full power as they land, you can see them slide it on their left side all the way up. This is done in case they miss or the cable breaks and they can take off again. Number 1 should be the C-130 landing on the carrier.
Very much respect for pilots landing on carriers! You guys and gals are the best! All personnel on the carrier should receive the utmost respect from all Americans! Thank you all for your service!
Love the work on the controls of the first two... Just amazing to watch.
I was aircrew in C130 VMGR 252, Cherry Point MCAS. Landing on a carrier would have been interesting
Didn’t know a C130 could land on a carrier
zeus juice it only happened once: USS Forrestal (CVA-59) back on October 30,1963. The ship is now scrap but the record still stands.
Yeah that looks pretty easy.. I can reverse park my car so I’m sure this can’t be much harder! :)
These 5 landings were very outstanding and unusal than other thousands of normal carrier....I am very impressed.
The guy with the Harrier at no1......He deserves NO.1. Amzing skills.
They have this amazing invention " a stool"
I'm sure they're ready for that to happen. This is just a stool sample.
Number 3 clearly a video game.......
Yes in fact, it is the VRS Superhornet used in connection with Microsoft FSX flight sim (I have it) - and it's very good add on as you can see, but I recognized it immediately because the mirrors gave it away (had a daytime reflection which it always has- unlike the DCS models).
*_I am an F/A-18D Hornet pilot and no is not a video game. Is a helmet mounted GoPro and that's the real cockpit and how it looks at night!_*
It is indeed real footage.
that pilot must be an owl by the way he turned his head around 180
Justin, I think you are mistaken. Clearly mistaken.
There's some like a champ landings in here,but when you strive to be the top,the difficult is easy,the impossible probable.
I have done this 1000's of times...... It never gets old... I know fly for Value Jet upon retiring.
You "know" fly for Value Jet? Thanks for the warning. :-)
4:43 LOOK Ma - NO HOOK LOOOOOOL !!!
DJT Campaign Slogan: "Look Ma, No Hookers!"
Anybody else find themselves leaning forward when the hook catches?
What exactly is any more or any less amazing than all the other carrier landings on TH-cam ?
1) the old WW2 videos of landings is always crazy. 2) The pilot landing with fog or low clouds was crazy. 3) Who ever was flying that 4 prop dc-10? Had to have balls the size of Manhattan.
