Do you like these kinds of videos? Let me know in the comments if you'd like me to do a video explaining the live bomb drop from my Final Flight video, or if you'd rather hear about my five favorite things about being an airline pilot.
Heck yes..😍👌
I rather hear about this tbh but either one is good I’m on the fence on whether I’m going to get out or stay in and try and commission so either one really helps
Why not both?😁
@@theawsomemax I so wish TH-cam had the ability to post GIFs in the comments. Well played.
I guess both over different videos works for both parties.
Former USAF AMMO/EOD troop here. You mentioned the Missile falling away from the target after launching it. That's by design. AIM-9's generally never fly direct to their target. The tracking sensor is gimbaled and will follow the target while the control surfaces stay stationary unless the on board computer gives them a coarse correction for an intercept. After a correction they(control surfaces) return to their neutral position. This is because they have limited pressure to work with. Argon filled tank for pneumatics also keeps the sensor cool. It was always fun putting an AIM-9 seeker on the test stand and watching the seeker follow a heat source as the test set did it's thing.
that was a very interesting read, thanks for clarifying!
IYAAYAS! -1995-1999 ammo troop
SternLX I remember checking them after rubbing your hands on a cold day, the heads will follow that too
So would you comment on the real world accuracy/reliability of the aim 9? And if you were able to see the X version?
Ammo and EOD? And you can spell? I'm not buying it.
People who buy a house at the end of the runway, especially a military base deserve to be buzzed every day.
I would honestly pay extra for this
@@lobsters12111 I grew up in the Navy/Marine air wings. Dishes rattle, if one of the pilots pulls a Boom, in Kaneohe, we'd chuckle unless the fine China got boomed. I grew up with it and love it too. The civies hate it, understandably. My dad flew so I got into the hangars, it's different.
ethan burnside that’s so cool!
My dad would always say “That’s the sound of freedom, son.”
@@lobsters12111 Same
I lived extremely close to the macdill afb runways when I was a kid and they never flew over my house but still shook it every time they took off. F-4s were stationed there but we once had a squadron of F-15s down for training and they were louder and absolutely amazing.
Post all your flying videos pls!
This is awesome stuff!
You've got the life, Mover.
Great video. I drive that freeway all the time and I love it when the Hornets fly right over your head to land. It was cool to see the view from above.
-Goverment builds airbase
-someone builds house next to the airbase
-"someone" sells house to an idiot
-idiot complains about the airbase
Our homes were there before the air station was elongated to its current size. Before the planes didn’t come near the homes.
I went to UCSD so I get both sides. Sometimes we hear/see training exercises where planes and helicopters are following each other in single file line, across all of San Diego for a whole day. It was awesome. But it was also only a few times a year.
@@chloehennessey6813 I see people built new homes right beside train tracks. Tracks who have been theire since the 19th century. And they keep on complaining.
John Creasy01 And That has nothing to do with our homes. They were built before the air station was basically tripled in size. Before the jets wouldn’t even come close to our houses.
Now that it’s bigger it’s a different story. When you invest that much money into a home just to see the government do whatever they wanna do- it’s frustrating.
Overall, this is a lesson to not build homes close to airports/airbases. Even in civilian airports, government and/or management can suddenly decide to expand the site & extend (or even build entirely new) runways after decades of your house being there.
I live two blocks away from MCAS Miramar in San Diego. Very cool to see all the undercast take off procedures and all that. Love how you explain stuff that I see everyday in the skies on my way to work and from my balcony :)
I live 5 minutes from Miramar, I love the jets going over head at my work in Sorrento Valley. It seems that once a month for about a week they change their flight plans and vibrate my house. Wife gets a little annoyed, but I always have a smile on my face.
I damn near run out of my house for every flight and there's a lot. I get the same look from my wife
My Father was stationed at Fallon Naval base when I was really young. We lived in Carrier Court. As a young boy growing up there was a small boys dream. I loved nothing more than listening and watching The fighter jets flying formation and cracking that sonic boom . I truly miss that incredible , powerful sound. Oh to be a kid again
Hey CW, I ran IT for a company next to that runway, used to love watching you guys coming and going. enjoying your vids man, thanks!
I grew up on airbases and love the sound of freedom. I've only discovered your channel in the past week. My dad was a retired AF Col and had his wings through early 1962 T-37 training. I loved hearing all the stories. One he liked to tell was about in 1967, Vietnam heating up. His F105 group was in escape/evasion/resistance training prior to going to SE Asia. The POW - Psychology training. His training was interrupted and he was told to pack and leave since he was being transferred to rotary wing SAR. ( something about USAF taking over more helo stuff from army - they wanted jet pilots contributing to pilot recovery ) . Dad declined - presuming this was unusually creative psychology designed to break him. They said no, you need to call your wife and get ready to transfer. He still refused to believe them. They finally had to get his wing commander on the phone, "Jack, this isn't bullshit, you have to call Maxine to get ready to move in a week.....' Thus began a rewarding tour in rotary wing for dad and a hundred missions + in Vietnam and also rotating in from Okinawa. Though I heard about hosing blood from the floor of the airplane, I heard more about the grins of guys being pulled up to freedom. I enjoy your channel and the stories. - Tom
To reiterate for non- pilots Dad flew jets and was living in a simulated POW camp being berated, starved and sleep deprived by experts to get the pilots introduced to a mild version of what to expect as a POW. After a few days, the idea that an F 105 driver was going to be transferred to helicopters was considered as ingenious psych torture - After eating spoiled rice and rat meat for days. He ended up loving that part of his career though it was more dangerous daily than the F 105 mission. I think at the time the life expectancy of an HH 43 pilot - new in combat was 6 hours. I think it got better but they lost a lot.
YES! Very Much So. I was a medic on a Helo so I flew in a different environment so this is really awesome Sir, thank you for your service and thank you for your knowledge and most of all thank you for your fiction! Your books rock. MD "DOC"
thanks for reading!
I feel like a kid watching your footage. You do the best job in the world
Just another day on the job ashore. Nicely done Sir.
Thanks Mover, hope ya get back in the jet soon and my best to all those affected from the hurricane.
really enjoying your videos mover. I work around Portland international where the Oregon ANG fly from daily, its cool to know some of what they are doing. A couple years ago i was running a dump truck on one of the runway repaving projects when they were taxiing out to the runway for takeoff, I stopped to let them cross in front of me (air planes have the right of way) I got a thumbs up and a salute from all 4 of them as they crossed my path. couple hours later they came back and did one kick ass fly by at i am thinking around 500 feet, and they were flat moving. Pretty cool guys in my book.
What is interesting to me is the firing order on the MER. On TER the first to come off is the bottom station, but it seems on MER it is the left shoulder, or station 2 on the TER. Very intersting. Great video Sir!
I flew for several years out of Palomar Airport. Loved those marine layers. Would love to see more bomb drops/missile shoots. Great job, thanks.
Honestly, ''FOX 2'' in radio chatter is one of the most badass things I've ever heard.
Awesome video man! Love the explanations on how military aviators do what they do and would always love to see more videos like this!!! A bomb drop video would be awesome as well as a gun shoot video and maybe one on how you guys avoid a missile being shot your way. This stuff is super interesting to we civilian sticks.
Ps. That section approach was new to me and made me think about how the FAA would shit a brick if civilian pilots did that. Lastly, noticed you flip a page on your checklist in the reflection on your visor while you were starting your go around and wondered if you were executing a checklist for the go around or doing something else?
I believe "shit hot" is the appropriate industry term for this video. Thank you and keep 'em coming!
Wicked. I see you posted this apx. 1 year ago, but as a new subscriber I hope to see more of these
Love these videos they have been quite the inspiration! Would love to see the bomb drop explanation!
Enjoyed the video, would love to see more showing off aspects of flying. I also enjoy your other videos (DCS, old stories and lingo, mover ruins movies etc.)
Great episode Mover! Absolutely YES more episodes like these! Praying you can get back in the T-38 as soon as things stabilize in FL.(or wherever they’ll re-base your squadron) . Godspeed Sir 🇺🇸🤙🏻
Thanks, Pat. I appreciate your kind words and support!
Mover, definitely enjoy the definitive explanations involved in these ops. An example of which is the after launch inspections for damage. Bring more Hornet stuff if you can dig it up. Your videos are terrific. Much different than the usual drivel with the usual metal music in the background. Not that I don't enjoy cruise videos, but your stuff is a cut above by far. Shiny side up. Jan Burden
Ike: impressed with the videos, enjoying the Spectre books (1-4) will be getting the rest soon, keep up the fantastic work .. Cheers from Aust
Dude totally give us a talk through of the fini flight!!!!
Sounds good! I'll strip out all of the music and talk about it.
Love these videos. Thanks Mover.
July 1968...I was a newly minted US Army Warrant Office Cobra pilot on my way to Vietnam. Home in San Diego for leave and a friend who was a RIO backseat F-4 arranged for me to do a training hop out of then NAS Miramar in a Phantom. Oh crap that was the ride of my life! In Vietnam got hops in F-100s, A-37s on bombing missions, but that Phantom ride was the best. Plane captain gave me a barf bag...said I wouldn't need it 'cause I'm a hot shit Cobra helo pilot. Filled that sucker!
Very interesting episode. Thanks Mover!
I work very close to the flight path. Kind of cool to see this from the other side!
awesome stuff on your channel, I´m really glad I stumbled about it
ANOTHER killer inside scoop of military aviation at it's finest. Gr8 stuff. You're da BOMB.
Thanks Mover. More of the same would be appreciated.
Excellent, always wondered what the sound of rocket coming off sled.
These are the best videos!! please keep up the good job!!, thanks.
Enjoyed the video very much. Would love to see more like it.
Fox2 = There goes $600k, flying away at 2.5 Mach
PS:
13:03 wow on how you kept formation in the clouds
Who needs healthcare or education when you can buy cool jets and missiles instead!
Flir..These planes can fly in any weather..Clouds don't do anything to visibility..
@@falconeaterf15 healthcare and education are your responsibility, not the governments. Plus nothing is free, learn that early
HITESH ADHIKARI
What a stupid thing to say.
Are you a Russian troll or just completely ignorant in regards to Western Civilization?
Perhaps both?
@@falconeaterf15 let me guess, you are a snowflake who thinks u r entitled to free stuff, arent you?
Did you ever think about going active during your time and apply for the Blue Angels?
I was under the impression the pickle button was for ground ordnance only, I didn't know there was a difference. Is that also the case for other A2A missiles?
Keep em coming Mover.....
Are you using instruments to help maintain spacing when going through the cloud layer? I could see you still had visual because you were close enough but just curious.
he has another video about flying in weather. th-cam.com/video/YmP-f6QYmkw/w-d-xo.html
Very cool! More! I think I saw my house (not really - it's a mile north of the base and the air was thick). Thanks!
The vids are great. However. You did one a while ago that was old on start up and takeoff. The one thing that I've always wanted to know is " WHAT DO ALL the hand signals mean". My best freind was a flight coordinator on a carrier, but his role was on take off, so different signals. It would be cool to know what your meaning is and the ground crews meaning is during the procedure. Just curious. Thanks
Wow! I see that as you closed for the formation approach, the aft facing camera showed that you had taken bird strikes in both engines and it was shooting feathers at you!!!
}:-]
Hi Mover, have you ever been to the UK on a tour and done the "Mach Loop" also, watching that AIM-9 firing reminds me of Flight of the Intruder when the pilot fires his Shrike missile he forgets to close his eyes and gets blinded, is this true?
Love your videos!
Wish I was still there at Tyndall. Been a long time. I still miss the place. I know it's not what it used to be but.
I have linked your channel to everyone I know online lol. Thanks for the great content.
Hi Mover.... what a rush, must be disconcerting when you're flying through the clouds not being able to visually see anything. What are the white trails coming off your wing tips? Great video, thanks.
Water vapor from the wingtip vortices.
Loved this! I'd love to see some more hornet ordnance videos!!
So -1 and -2 are flying with starboard side MERs which seems to me to make you asymmetrical. Not much of a problem? Thanks for the video.
What a cool video for us non mil aviators...mahalo!
nice to see the old base again, i was stations there back when it was NAS Miramar
F/A-18 DCS question, in DCS the flaps are auto, you stated you set your flaps for landing, they aren't auto in the real bird? and what flaps setting did you use?
Fascinating stuff. Great flight
Would you be open to getting Baltic dragon to make a DCS campaign based on one of your books?
I'd love to see more of this and bomb drops please!
How much do you need to trim the aircraft after the shot, due to the weight lost at the wingtip?
Engaging video - really enjoyed it.
Does your windscreen have moisture on the inside of the cockpit?
Great video CW.. Around the 12 minute mark of your video I noticed small puffs of smoke coming off your flight-suit, what was that?
Hey just a quick question, when you land at an unfamiliar base/airport how do you know where to go once you land? Is the tower telling you turn left, now right, now go down and park or what? Ive seen a couple maps of of large airport taxi ways and it's just like spaghetti!
Great video. One of my dream lifestyles. To old now to pursue so I’ll stick to the DG 505
Love the fighter videos.
So when shooting at flares you get an all-up round?
That's different than when shooting a QF where you get everything but the warhead.
I promise I have you thumbs up on this vid long time ago and it shows I haven't..weird stuff..you get thumbs up brother.
Where can we go to buy the physical books out? I miss Miramar! That is home!
Oh, and screw the snooty rich folks in La Jolla, that complained! I had a very nice 3 story house in La Jolla, that over looked the ocean. My bedroom balcony on the top floor wrapped around from the West, to the South, and enabled me to see the fireworks show from Sea World every night. When I was out there, Miramar had the Death Rattlers F-18 squadron. Mid to late 90’s. Lots of pretty fun memories.
Great episode! C.W., do you have any carrier ops footage?
Like your all videos, best from Poland:)
@13:15.....Mover demos the Navy's def of VFR....
THX Mover! Your stuff rocks, and I'm not easily impressed....just a jaded, cynical 63yo. But- any dude that can pump out good content, serve as a cop, flies heavies, and is a fighter pilot- having a pedigree of 16's and 18's, ....DESERVES it. YOU-Are-The-Man.
Any problems with this asymmetrical loadout for example Hornet trying to drop on the right side constantly or does the FBW takes care of it?
What is that other thing you have on left wing pylon ? Is it just something to counterbalance the AIM9?
What was the model of the AIM-9 you shot? Was it M or X?
trimm roll will do the job ,not FB W
FCLP Videos would be cool!!!
I've randomly fast forwarded a video to this point 7:13. And something interesting happened. Just for a moment I thought it was a left banked turn. Blue was water, and white was the sky. And I thought "wait, he's so overbanked almost being inverted. What's happening". Then few moments later I realized it's all other way around. Is this how pilots get disoriented sometimes? I know it's just a video, but just for a moment my mind played a trick on me. I always found it strange how many accidents are attributed to pilot disorientation middle of a clear day. I think I'm starting to understand how it happens.
Yes foresure, more videos. Do you uncage the seeker head in the f18 like the f4 to lockup the heat source. You and gonky were joking about the f18 taking on the f4 in the last video. Could you clarify the dogfight scenario of f18 vs f4
It's got to be slightly worrying going through cloud right? I mean going that fast and only being able to see the inside of your own cockpit?
Nope
@@CWLemoine Fair enough! Love the channel!
Just curious during the go around why did you break left instead of right to stay in the pattern when exiting 24R?
It's a left traffic pattern.
I actually live right on the end of that runway. It isnt the noise that is the issue, but the vibration is crazy. I dont mind it all too much though. Get to see some really cool low flying hornets. Can pretty much make out the wording as they land.
well, i think we should probably ground them all and figure out how to quiet them down with that new jet engine vibration dampner. AFTER ALL THEY ARE ONLY PROTECTING ALL U.S. CITIZENS. By the way, Fighter jets werent designed for civilian comfort. try better insulation and some tissue.
How difficult is it to become a blue angel?
On your approach, as you went through clouds, are you just constantly adjusting thrust levers to keep spacing?
How does one get in to shooting (photo) in a jet?
BRU-41 IMER on station 2. No blue death, however.
These r awesome to watch
If you lose sight of your lead or wing aircraft during an approach through weather, what's the procedure?
Have you had the opportunity to try out Digital Combat simulator? They released the F/A-18C module. Would be interested on your opinion on this flight simulator. Thanks for the video.
What’s the decal on your helmet is looks really cool also how do you pick them?
The decal is the River Rattler emblem of VFA-204
What about dicuss some general/required air combat tactics(dogfight to longrange) , using F18, F14 and if you have some recommendations on any nice books or websites about this tropic :-)
Why do the navy and air force have different trigger operations for firing?
If you came from the Air Force and then got in a Navy Reserve unit, does that mean you never had to qualify on the carrier?
Great video, love this stuff.
Do you have any videos explaining how dog fights work in real life?
Do a video on how fighter jets get shot down in various ways in real life. Differences on missions systems.
the only TH-camr who dropped a real bomb!
Thanks for the great video. I was wondering how much rudder work you use in final approach and in formation flying. Can you shed a light for us on how much rudder vs airelon you have to use?
Pretty much none.
Thanks :) Will be looking for the next T38A videos to check if it's any different :) I remember the comment from Gonky in your interview were he said the T38A was a stick and rudder aircraft.
6:13 They don't like the awesome thundering sound of freedom? Unpatriotic!
"You Two Characters......... Are Going to Top Gun"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is that like an old acmi on the left wing? what is mover?? ohh its just a weird looking rail for the flares yeah??
Awesome job 👍.
Not all of us hated them flying over the house.
its funny how fragile these planes seem to be my sister's husband was a maintenance and logistics officer at Nellis for the 57th AMXS lightning squadron and he said the f-35 knows when a part is broken and will order it automatically and the f-35 needs a lightning rod to divert strikes. couple hundred million dollars gone if it gets zapped.
Thats beautiful sir, if u could do a shot out to Vinícius Milani i would be so glad! And what do you think about the brazilian airforce (FAB)?
