I'm an Aussie but glad to see your country is in safe hands! Well done sir. The only improvement I can suggest is if you could just do a little cabin in the woods in snow under a misty moonlit sky using crayons on the inside of the windscreen whilst doing some split S and Kulbits .

      I believe it's the way they're trained to talk. 100% know that's how stunt flight teams talk to each other. The tone and rhythm of the speech help them sync movement. Though he probably does just have a natural way about himself to talk like that.

Your focus in moving around the flight deck, being passed from one handler to another is impressive especially noted when having to deal with catapult steam making people disappear in front of you. Your calm and laidback demeanor leading up to launch is commendable, but I imagine that has come from your hours of training and experience in dealing with the organized chaos of the deck. Watching this makes me realize the level of confidence you have to have with everyone functioning on the deck. You are damn impressive sir.

    Thinking about earlier as I drove to doctor that if “Pail” was out of The Navy he should apply to the commercial airlines ( they are desperate for great pilots) but that he’s still in The Navy as an instructor in Texas and how else could he do these videos for millions of fans! Stupid me! BUT if you ever do resign I know you’d have zero problem being hired! Stay safe and Fly Navy. Glad we got to see your eyes to go with that soothing voice!

    My wife’s father joined the navy in 1949 he worked his way to chief and he went on to OCS he stayed in for 30 years, he was a electronic warfare officer he was on the old JFK back in the fifties and sixties he designed the landing lights to help the pilots line up before touchdown and he he got a medal for designing and making a radar jamming system. He was one smart man..He was a mustanger and I loved him dearly..

      Mustangs make the best officers, imo. They have experienced life at the bottom, and make fewer mistakes than the officers who went to some fancy academy but have no real life experience.
      I was enlisted, but served at my command headquarters, so I got to see a side of the officer corps most rank and file kids didn’t. The generals who respected the enlisted men and women who make the whole thing possible were the best leaders.

    Brings back many memories. When I served, during the draft, you got used to working as a very well oiled machine. You usually got discharged fom active duty after 2-4 years active service, for me 4 years.
    Going back to civilian life was 1 of the hardest adjustments I've ever had to do. That was one of the reasons i ended up retiring from a medical career.

    Just found your channel a few days ago. These videos are truly superlative. The videography is top notch. The narration is great both from a content perspective as well as just being pleasant to listen to because of the tonal quality of your voice. The fact that you take a moment of relative inactivity to explain other things like you did in the beginning of this video narrating what was happening with the first plane on the catapult and then the explanation about the island is really good. Keep up the good work Sir and thanks for your service.
