- Some think we just go out and have fun/goof off when we're solo, but is there training value in a 1 v 0?
Mondays With Mover
www.cwlemoine.com
Special thanks to Joshua Hamby for the new intro!
Takeoff 5:15
Supersonic Run: 11:45
Maneuvering: 13:30
City Tour: 18:30
Carrier Break: 22:00

Mover: "1v0 - They think we're just going out there to play around, burn gas"
Same Mover 2min later: " First thing I do is a supersonic run, really just for fun and to burn some gas..."
Video idea. "Mover gets carrier qualified. Gonky as instructor", with the new DCS supercarrier module.
That'll be great to watch once it comes out
That... Is a pretty good idea.
That’s an AWESOME idea!!!!
There's an interesting PBS special about life as a naval aviator, and it happens to have that Commander who saw the UFOs while he was still active duty. One of the things that's a real tough thing for the pilots is landing on a pitching deck at night time.
Great idea.
Now i can see how easily someone can have spatial disorientation! countless time in the video i have been confused between the sea and the sky... great video, big up!
One down-vote, appratently from a flat-earther for editing out the stick bump-downs which prevents you from hitting the dome.
Jeffery Downs - Well at least we know who one of the idiots are lol. It must be really sad that you are in the same company as a flat earther lol.
It’s not round and spinning I assure you that
Stick bump downs would be necessary on a globe to stay level with the surface as you travel, not a flat plane. That is why we don't see any bump downs.
Holy Christ are you people fucking serious?
@@MattH-wg7ou its like they imagine the earth is super small lol. Imagine being so stupid you cant comprehend how big the earth is. Flat earthers are a different breed of uneducated.
Hey mover, just wanted to say. I was a F-15E Crew Chief for 7 years at RAF Lakenheath and SJAFB, NC. I've been watching your vods for a couple of months and decided to pick up the Alex Sheppard books on Audible to listen to while going down the road in my new job as a Line Haul driver for FedEx Freight. These are the first books I have actually enjoyed in a long while so thank you for writing them. Also that " with your shield or on it spartan" line. Brah. Lol. Anyways, keep up the work, sir. And remember the F-15 is God's aircraft. Damn lawn darts.
It would probably be God's aircraft if it didn't require self loading baggage. #IdRatherHaveTheExtraGas 😲😂
@@CWLemoine you can prefer to have extra gas but id prefer to have 2 engines. Lol.
@@xxtherevlukexx how many engines do you think the Hornet has? 😂
@@CWLemoine the hornet and f-15 are basically the same aircraft. Just some nicer stuff on the hornet. Just from watching your videos I'm pretty confident I could start the hornet and do ground ops like the F-15. I was just ragging on your first love of the f-16. Stupid lawn dart. Lol.
Gotta say of all the things I do miss about the military life. The banter across different airframes is definitely one of em. F-15 guys messing with 16 guys. Fighters messing with heavies. A-10 BRRRRRRTTTTTTTing on all of us. Good times.
Kinda cool knowing I've probably heard Mover overheard at least once.
The bridge you see near where he's getting close to the river looks like it may be the Woodland Highway Bridge in Belle Chasse/Algiers
Wow when you get through that cloud n it's like your just flowing on top of it, you must feel really open to the elements with that fall glass canopy absolutely amazing. I've never been in a plain so this just seems amazing to me. I noticed just as you want mach 1 it looked like you went weightless n braced yourself for a second is the down to going supersonic.
You don't feel anything when going supersonic. Look at his backlog of videos, he did one covering this subject.
@@martyadams5551 ok thank you, do you have any idea why he went weightless for a second or two it didn't look like he did a manoeuvre or anything.
Watching you slam the stick backwards with both hands makes me so happy. As an F-15E Chief during FCS bits and ops checks I'd always use both hands to pull aft after a certain point. Just because it got harder to pull the farther aft you went. I always wondered if pilots did the same in flight cause the drag against the stabs in a hydro/electrical push pull cable system is felt by the pilot. Seeing that just proved that point.
`
Buzzing across Nawlins at 450kt. Loved it.
Surprised me a bit that you are 2 hands on stick when pulling back? Wouldn't have thought that'd be necessary - any particular reason for doing that, Mover? You did it a few times there...
Your DCS vids keep getting extremely realistic.
Based off my skill and knowledge of the F18 in DCS. I’d have to ask the Navy if I can just spawn in flight.
So Awesome!
Thank You for your service!
Damn shame about the t-38 squadron. but hopefully something will pan out!
Btw I'm curious about something I e noticed you mention in a few vids- is there any video/ polaroids lol of the tanker aircraft pretending to be jaws flying through a thunder head"Shark Finning" ?!
I want to see that!
I tried to Google it to no avail...
If not maybe a DCS demo/ Recreation video will suffice, Provided the conditions it would require are already modeled in the environment..?
If not it's cool, also thanks for all the Awesome content!
Mover, great take on 1 v 0. Only recently started appreciating them the way that you describe. Wish someone had that talk with me a lot earlier on.
Great video! I find myself torn between just enjoying the pure raw video, but at the same time wanting to hear your "play by play" as the video progresses. Guess you can't have your cake and eat it too. ;)
Life would be so boring without you Mover lol. One of the cool things about watching this kind of vid is watching how you handle the 18 so I see what I'm doing wrong in the DCS version :) As always, great vid and thanks for making it!
So freaking cool ...best----job-----in the world....you are blessed.....!!
Way back in the day I was Stationed at NAS JRB New Orleans, RAIMD. I actually put my anchors on there. Nice to see it again. I enjoy your channel, nice work here.!! Are the busted up F-15's still on the old runways? I watched that happen.
Awesome footage.
Not sure why this video made me think of this quote:
"Coming in low is part of every textbook approach. It's just something you gotta do... when you land."
I'm from the North East and I did my reserve time there in August. That's a new level of hot and humid.
Hi Mover .. I noticed you using your throttle hand during prob high g pulls. It it a strength issue as i understand the aircraft applies force as you pull. Love the channel. Ex RAAF with time working on F18s back in the late 80s. Keep the vids coming :)
Right around 11:10, the poem, “High Flight” by John Gillespie Magee, Jr. came to mind.
Do you ever think about the kids that just saw you fly over their house/apt., school and that they dream of doing what your doing one day? Had to settle for Beech Barrons , King Airs, and Cessnas. Never made to fighter jet status but my wife did buy me a a cool Citizen Blue Angels Watch ;) Nice Video! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video these flights are very important to pilots as it help them maintain and increase both their reaction time and G tolerances.
24:34 aaand tripped the arresting gear. lol
3rd video down in the suggested list from this one: Chuck Yeager. Now you know you're in the big leagues.
Thanks for the post. I appreciate the g load vs fuel consumption info..I had no idea. Did you ever get an opportunity to back seat a carrier landing or did required deployment and duties prevent that from happening? Thank you and have a great day.
Brilliant as always!
Curious however, during dog fight manouvers, is the rudder used much or is it primarily the joystick?
Yes
This is such a fantastic video. I really enjoyed hearing what you described, and then watching. I wonder if the majority of the time, did you fly above the clouds. Monday's are such a great day!
Great video, hope you have more of these.
I’m asking myself when practicing BFM alone or with a wingman, do you always use afterburner?
Only ran on burner when he was in gulf out to practice area moa I thinkto burn off fuel so he could pull more gs. Lost pilot's license long time ago due to health.
But you never use burner in dog fight as your a huge target for heat seaking missiles which can be fired at any angle of target.
Cloud surfing,it must be a very serene feeling,a perk for every pilot,no matter what airplane hes flying,but an F/A-18 the best you agree mover?
very cool video as always! As a DCS F/A 18 driver I would love to know if your trimming the 18 on speed after the break over the airfield or do you more or less eyeball it and correct more by hand. Keep up the good work! Rdgs Toby
Trim to 8.1 units.
@@CWLemoine Was AoA in the A+ model measured in units or degrees? To the best of my knowledge the C Hornet in DCS is in degrees. Or do you just interchange the term?
Hey Mover. Have you discussed the navy blue angels since you basically flown the same planes. What are your thoughts on them and what they do. Do you know any of them?
Thanks and blue skies.
So you still had to hold onto the grab handle even off the runway? I thought you pilots only did that when taking off a carrier. What is the point of doing so if your taking off instead of being launched?
Thanks for the ride, sir!
Love the new intro!
Great vid Mover! Were you in full burner during your acceleration to 1.6? I seem to recall we would be at 1.9 in the Phantom in about the same time. Ahhhh cameras in the cockpit, touch 'n goes, and rolled up sleeves...how the times have changed....for the better.
Awesome Mover thanks for the video.
Seemed like a whole lot of fun to me! 'Course, you *could* have flown under some of those bridges...!
You could simulate that sound at home when you have a simulator build by turning on a vacuum cleaner, a hair dryer and a leaf blower and put them besides you..
This is the good stuff.
Quick question: Why do the MFDs appear to be turning on and off? Is it just a camera artifact?
The image on-screen refreshes at a different rate from the number of frames per second the camera records. Most computer monitors refresh in a range from 60Hz-120Hz; cameras work at 50 frames per second. Because camera and monitor are out of sync, you record fewer images per second, hence the flicker.
@@stevieanderson9670 Thanks stevie!
Thanks for the ride!
What GoPro mark are you using here?
is the screens not working? only see a blip
Why do you hold the stick back with 2 hands? It doesn't have "power steering"?
Great vids, thank you - IMO it would be cool to hear some occasional voice over from you telling us what’s going on inflight.
Question - does it feel any different flying FA -18’s (or any supersonic jet) at 350mph vs M1.6? Plane appears to be rock solid thru entire flight.
Thank you for your service!
So sometimes you get your name stencilled on a jet and sometimes you share jets with other pilots. Does that just depend on where you are stationed or what your mission might be? Also curious about the manoeuvres involving jamming the stick into the top left quadrant. Is there a common situation where that is useful? From what I've heard, its best to practice to "Fly the cross".
Curious to know your thoughts on the Kobe crash.
Very tragic.
Great video; thanks for sharing
Really cool how you did a fly over the city. Did you have to communicate with air traffic controller?
Did you ever surf the clouds? Not go in them, just fly around the shape of them?
So cool
Mover, is there turbulence when you transition back to subsonic? I watched you throttle back and seconds later noticed a little shudder. Great video!
Mover I notice you hold the stick low......I actually used to do that on my flightsims when using the Microsoft sidewinder joystick .....I eventually forced myself to hold the stick “properly” .....do most Hornet pilots fly with their hands that low ?
New subscriber here. I love your work, thank you ♥️
nice to see ! good training for DCS :-) so, you only start applying some trim to get AoA & on speed after you turned & scrubbed the initial speed. great lessons ! next time ... perhaps include the ATC/pilot traffic com
Unable unfortunately
Hi sir,
I have a silly question here, I dont know if you r going to read this,but anyway is that 1972 mugs mckewon. F 4 phantom tumble incident/maneuver possible as narrated in history channel dogfigts series????. ALSO. Is that kind of thing possible in f16 or F18???
Excuse any grammar please, I have no formal english education.
Thanks.
I have a tendency to press m to disable mirrors to increase fps.
great video, just a question, at what flight level you were reaching supersonic speed?
Do you have turbulence in the fighter jets. Like in commercial aircraft ??
I know that they dont take guys off the street but, I want to know how was life in the navy reserve compared to air force reserve. How long is the transition course to F-18, how many seasoning days before going part time, how many days a month you flew after that, and did you stayed most in base or did you flew to other bases a lot like the active dutys in the navy do?
Edit: I fixed some errors.
How do u slow down from mach. Do u use speed brakes? Do u just pull back power to the engines?
How accurate is Hornet's mach meter? Is it VERY accurate or kind of accurate?
Why would 1v0 be useless? It is a good way to practice team sports. You can still practice same moves and make sure your body and mind makes them automatically in a real situation against opponents.
Great intro description, and terrific flight video. Loved the sound! Supersonic, maneuvering, and gear down even. It didn't look like a lot of rudder input during maneuvering, if you could comment? Thanks for a fantastic video Mover!
When you landed the second time and you pulled the stick back is that to generate more drag with the larger surface deflection and help decrease speed?
Yes, he also deployed airbrake just after touch down,,,
Stupid question how many emergences did you have besides the lightening strike
Wby does he keep on looking to his leftside? Is it coz the camera was there?
I'm going to ask again..."Question, why does the HUD have two pieces of glass?"
TIM BRADLEY so that more things can be displayed. You can only fit so much info on one. With two pieces of glass the info can be layered so that more things can fit in the same area
@@SergioPena20 HUD is not MFDs.......
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-up_display This will give you the correct answer. One is called the combiner and the other is the viewer.
Really shows how nice she flys : ) Ty O7
Is Lemoine still flying for the Air Force in any capacity?
Yes.
why do the computers on the plane not show constant signals in the video ?? Did you also fly the mach loop in wales?
refresh rate vs camera
Camera refresh + those screens are old CRTs. CRTs and Cameras don't like each other.
What is the purpose of a Navy shore-based squadron?
Adversary Air and Strategic Reserve
At 17:57 you literally flew over my house 😂
Cool
I have always heard it but up really does look like down.
Are all avionics set up the same in each aircraft?
I’d think they would have to be standardized as pilots have to switch between available aircraft. Having something out of place/unfamiliar could be a problem...even perhaps fatal.
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find............
14:01 is that the condensation of mach 1+ speed?
he's not supersonic at that point he's pulling high Angle of attack, the plane's body creates a low pressure area as a result and if there is enough moisture in the air it will cause a vapor cloud to form, you dont need to be supersonic to create that effect
@@Knightfang1 thanks man. Appreciate your help
I'd thought there would be a faster roll rate.
What if an engine failure happened over the city ?!
Fly home on the other engine.
F 18 in mind.
I foxed 3 the hornet and the viper a millnon times with the eagle. In real time, I can see you before you see me
Notice how you barely touch the pitch on landing, gliding right down to the deck.
Thanks for not putting some lame ass music in the video.
Good video 👍👍👍
I would make some headon against passenger jets !
Just kidding
"Couldn't be further from the truth" Hmmm.....
Ya, still looks like fun
Mover how the heck are you going to fly f18s for the navy and not be carrier qualified?!!! Even Marines get carrier qualified and they spend most of their time land based.
Navy Reserve shore based adversary squadron.
I just wonder if Mover ever imagined he'd be flying around the same area in a little old helicopter at 60 knots just a few years later.
Incredible video. Just mind-blowing.
As a military pilot, how low can you legally fly over a city?
1000' above the highest obstacle.
@@CWLemoine Man. I know there were a lot of folks smiling up at you, as you flew over. Made a lot of peoples day, buddy. You made a lot of peoples day.
Then there’s Madison, WI where I used to live and all the old hippies always bitchin about the 176th FS Falcons. “Oh they’re too loud”, “oh they’re too low”, “oh they’re evil war machines”, “ they should be banned from flying over the city”. All these ultra liberal lefties with lots of money who complain about EVERYTHING all the time! I had to move.
@@gregtrotter239 Was in KAF, Afghanistan, for 33 months. Didnt really appreciate those afterburns at 0200. Every. Single. Night. But when they would take off during my morning coffee at 1000 and shoot straight up at 90, I would always yee-haw for sure lol.
Violeta Brdar yeah, unfortunately most fighters have to take off in AB when they have bombs (safety reasons - TOLD). Still loud AF, especially when you are sleeping close to the flight line.
Hey Mover, I played the flight portion at 2x speed and got you up to Mach 3.2, you're welcome!
I was USN from '98-'06, but got MedSep due to a back injury. Love your videos!
5 secs into the intro graphics, already hit thumbs up.
Thank you Mover!! Always love to watch your fighter flights.
I wish i be fighter pilot
May be in next life
does anyone know if a military helicopter pilots experience/hours can be used to apply to the airlines as a civilian? or does your experience have to be fixed wing?
Military helo hours do apply as long as you have fix wing time. I don't believe the hours apply one for one though.
Thanks for sharing this. Can't imagine how amazing it must be to be strapped into your F18 and flying alone through those clouds.
Good Tuesday afternoon my friend I'm just catching up to your channel from yesterday.. I've been busy with work... question how long can you stay in burner on fa18??
Fuel capacity and altitude dictates that. But, usually just a few mins or at crucial times of the mission/combat/takeoff because fuel is consumed at an incredible rate. Technically, afterburner can remain engaged until you run out of fuel and plummet.
Today,(April 4th) would have been my Dad`s birthday and if he was still with me I would have taken him flying,he loved to go flying with his friend,so I took his spirit with me today while I watched this video,thanks to you Mover...He was my strength and my protector,the one who raised me ,the one who cared about me,and that love never dies.....Thank You again,stay safe,and blessed,always
