Welcome aboard and EA-18G Growler catapult shot off the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) in 2017 in the Arabian Gulf. This was a MAX power Case III launch off catapult 2 on a 7+ hour sortie in support of OPERATION INHERENT RESOLVE. Keep the lights on for me. I'll be hungry when I get back. Fly Navy!

This guy should read bedtime stories to children when he’s not flying. What a soothing voice and delivery. Thank you for your service, sir.
Cheers!
ASMR coming soon
Totally agree
Perhaps the next Morgan Freeman.
Maybe James Earl Jones?
Wow, who knew Bob Ross moonlighted as a naval fighter pilot rather than just oil-painting landscapes?!! So soothing. Great job Sir!
Glad you enjoyed it!
just add some trees to that deck and be all set
@@GrowlerJams Oh dude what a great vid. Thank you so much! Fascinating subject, great visuals and really immersive, enhanced by your soothing voice and obvious skills and bravery. 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 .
Fun fact, Bob Ross actually served in the Air Force
and then we'll put a happy little grape right over here by the island... juuuust a happy little grape, maybe he's fueling, maybe he's putting in a chew... just a happy little grape...
The way you narrate the pilot's movement is beautiful.
Practical, simple, direct, smooth, soft.
@GrowlerJams I'm already binge watching all your videos! I've watched more engineering, but this is just as awesome!
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.
The fucking auto captions say "super horny kitten lined up" lmfao
Isn't he the pilot?
Guys, Salvation is Simple
HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH”
YaH is The Heavenly Father
YaH arrives via the TENT OF MEETING
YaH was Who they Crucified for our sins
YaH was Crucified on an Almond TREE

“I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me.”
Isaiah 45:5
“I am YaH, and there is none else.”
I feel like this dude could talk me through performing a brain surgery and I wouldn't get stressed in the slightest.
😆
😂😂😂😂
Old tin can sailor here; never had a desire to serve on a bird-farm but appreciate watching the professionalism and efficiency of your operations. Bravo Zulu! Darlington, South Carolina
Cheers!
.....bird farm.....lol
I'd work on a bird farm for free. The experience.....wow
My brain didn’t know if it was time to take a nap or keep the eyes peeled for something never seen before. I’m glad the video was only 8 min, because your voice is silky smooth & ultra relaxing, definitely someone I could listen to for my “Channels to fall asleep to” list.
Oh yea, the rain drops…very sweet! Brings an alternative meaning to “jet dried”.
😴
I just had an O face
Yeah his voice was so relaxing I just almost fell asleep
Imagine during his dogfight. With soothing voice “We got bandit. Fox two. And we got a splash.”
😎
I actually laughed out and startled my dog reading this. Well said
I've never heard this process explained. Way cool how efficient the deck is by handing the plane from one director to the next without someone needing to walk all over the place. Thanks!
I was in the Army for 4 years but watching this orchestra of what goes on the flight deck I’ve got so much respect! God bless and fly Navy 🫡
I was Intel. Spy Navy.
Military Intelligence is a contradiction in terms.
Naval Intelligence is redundant. 😁
Same here battle
Was just about to comment that this is a symphony in motion!
The deck of a carrier during flight operations is one of the most dangerous places in the world.
I hear ya. Seeing these guys fly, damn I wish I wasn’t so tall and a solid frame. Would be an insane experience to flue these jets. The only thing better would be flying a spacecraft.
What a wonderful grand ballet...a very dangerous one...for a civilian like me it is absolutely incomprehensible that an accident does not happen every 5 minutes...everyone has to rely 100% on the other...a single organism made of jets, noise, steam and people...fascinating! And i can be a part of it through your videos...thanks a lot!!
It's all a question of good organisation and communication. 😉
@@ekswhy2147 Sure...otherwise it would not be possible...nevertheless it is impressive to watch
@@zenon7094 Yes, of course.

One of the coolest videos I ever watched. I felt it. This is what I think TH-cam was made for.
Cheers!
100% agree
Seriously, outstanding PGA commentator voice…just in case the flying gig doesn’t shake out. Might not need the number for that truck driving school after all.
Great content!
😂
second that
Can't get enough of this. As a civilian it just blows my mind that people are routinely doing stuff like that.
Also your commentary is extremely enjoyable. Thank you!
Really enjoy your commentary. So calm and collective. The step by step explanation really gives you a good sense of what's happening
This is like the Bob Ross of Cat launches
I thought the exact same thing!
Calm and collected
The is a Naval Aviators version of watching golf. Nice calm commentator, discussing the steps in lining up the shot...taking the proper stance, and LAUNCH! Great shot! :)
"And wait, and wait, Fly Navy!"
"WE HAVE A DOUBLE EAGLE, MY GOODNESS, WHAT A SHOT!!"
Man your videos are awesome. I wanted to be an RAF pilot but did 22 years with the British army as a mechanic on Challenger 2, so much of my career and experiences that I wished I’d filmed and shared but those days are gone. Fly safe brother 👍
The Chally! Aesthetically speaking, the Chally in one of my favorite modern tanks.
Nice video but the US really screwed up Syria by trying to overthrow Bashar al Assad. Not sure why the US is still in Syria.
Good for you brother. Recon soldier and patrol commander
I joined the TR one month after her commissioning. My first cruise was the North Atlantic and we pulled into Wilhelmshaven Germany for my first port-of-call. The weather looked EXACTLY like this video. Rainy, cloudy, misty, cold, windy and just basically miserable. I got flashback chills watching this. Only back then we were using -A model Hornets and -B model Tomcats along with Intruders, Hawkeyes and Vikings. A different world back then
I was onboard then. It was chilly. As a Plankowner, I got dinged ashore in Bremerhaven back in '88. I miss it now, and still have a good friend I served with.
I take my 10 year old son and his siblings out to watch you guys do touch and gos a couple days a week here at NASK. He always wonders which one is yours as you guys fly right overhead on final. He will then head straight to his room and hop in the Goshawk on DCS just to emulate you. Thanks for everything y'all do.
Cheers!
That's cool that y'all get to watch them! Maybe in 12 to 15 years you can watch your son coming and going.
@@Boz2131 yessir, already working on it. He met the CAP students at an air show last year and found out he can join at 12 year old, which he will be next September. He's super excited.
Oh I bet he is!
@@Forthecasuals
@@ForthecasualsExcellent!
As an retired jet mech,,I always love final checking and watching u guys take your cat shot!!!! ..it felt good checking your exterior and looking out for you guys untill you blast off the pointy end,,,,❤❤
It's wonderful that we still have people around who are so skilled and modest at the same time. All the crew have my 100% admiration. 100
I hope this guy pilots my Southwest airplane when he retires from the NAVY.
Fantastic voice to update our flight delays.
Have you seen my Grand Junction jam? You might appreciate it.
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..
This guy is one of the best orators I have ever heard or seen. He knows how to speak, and he knows how to inform. And, like everyone else noticed, the calmness and the professionalism that he exudes is fantastic. I love watching this guy.👍
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.
Great video, great explanations, great that you've left the original audio and not replaced it with music!. Thank you! In 20/30yrs time, your videos will be important historical videos. Superb stuff.
Quality content + hard work = 100,000. Congrats! I like ALL cat shots, but this case 3 is amazing. Thanks for putting this together for us. FLY NAVY!
Cheers!
You're one calm pilot, very relaxed, in command but respectful of the deck crew. Thanks for taking us along with you. In WW2 my dad was a fighter pilot, Spitfires, Hurricanes. Finally in Burma he flew US Mohawks, a plane that rarely gets mentioned in war memoirs, but it served them well. Thank you for your service.
I enjoy watching your videos, especially the deck work. My son is a "plane captain" and it is cool to see his name on the plane. Watching the videos is a way his mother and I get an understanding of his current job. Thank you for your service.
awesome! I was a plane captain for a short time in VA-35 Black Panthers back in the first half of the 1070's. I transferred to Corrosion Control in Air Frames. A=6 Intruder squadron
The greatest show on the web. Never gets old, never gets boring. I've waited my whole life for someone to do this. 🤙
Great videos. What I enjoy is that not only does he know his job, he understands what everyone else on the deck is doing as well and shares that with the viewer.
Thank you for your service💪💪💪💪. With that calm attitude, when it’s time to get some, glad you’re on our side. God bless
you.
I am a retired Air Force Navigator but I enjoy watching your videos. You are a great narrator!
This is really amazing. As a South African and an air force kid I grew up with choppers and jets flying over my house. I always wanted to be a pilot, but decided to pursue a degree instead. I'm now 27, going on 28, eligible to join the defence force, but loving the fact that I can see you doing your thing. I also build scale models, so I'm seriously considering doing another F-18 in 1/32nd scale
Yea I’m 35 and setup quite a career for myself but the last couple years I caught myself looking up “how old is to old to fly a fighter” 😂😂
whats stoppin ya go for it as another ytuber fighter says make them tell you no
@@terrydavis8451 lived here all my life, I know the dangers, if there was a way out we would take it, but legally there isn't. My wife has applied for work in Australia and I've applied for work in the states and Japan, neither of which got back to me. So when there's an opportunity we'll take what comes out way
If you ever get tired of being a Naval aviator you could have a very successful career in film making. That was fantastic film making. Well done sir. Stay safe out there. 🥂
Wow, thanks!
yep buddy, mounting that gopro on a tax payer funded plane so these guys can arse about in the air for no good reason.... it's awesome! it's next level. 🤣🤣
i am amazed how many people there is on the deck and how organized everything is.
Hard day at work, came home, saw this, fell asleep to your voice... I appreciate the rest, and the video.
Thank you for your service soldier.
God Bless.
Cheers!
So awesome! 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.
I think the vocal audio was added later.. In fact I'm pretty sure..
Totally agree. This guy epitomizes professionalism.
It's Saturday here in England, a day off. But it still feels great to see a master at work on deck flying off deck
When I asked you about the jam pics a while ago, I never thought, or could never have even imagined, how enormously they'd going to help me. 😃 Especially on one certain day. They've been and still are a big help. I'm using every single day the pics and jams to train.
I'm so grateful to you for your help!!! 😊 💕💕💕 A big, varm THANK YOU a thousand times!!! 💜💜💜
Hey Pail...thanks for your dedication and service...you are an excellent narrator...thx
Cheers!
Im an old Jaguar guy,,but im amazed at what you water bourne fly boys can do 🏴🇺🇸🙏
56 ? 226? Ex ground crew from Lossie early 80's 😊
Strange, 8 months ago you claimed to be a Tonka pilot…
@@tonyf9076 *54 ;) 56 were Frightning, Phantom and Tonka :) The 80's were good days, you saw the last years of what was once a decent RAF.
@@Ecthaelyon 56 aka Shifty Fix. There was some old guff about Firebirds in there as well.
Jamin!!! Always appreciate the work it takes to give us "mortals" the vantage point we're afforded in your videos! Thanks, man! *signature move*
Ha! 🫡
So cool and calming. “Come forward, come forward…” Love it!
It's so calming and relaxing 💪
I can forget everything else, just listen to you and keep watching over your shoulder so enjoyable, thank you 💖💖
Thank you for your service to our country! I am overwhelmed to see the unity of our men and women in the armed forces working and fighting together! That is what our country is supposed to be about! God bless you! God bless America!
This is required viewing. So interesting and informative. As a Brit I have the greatest respect for what you and all your colleagues have done in serving your country. I watch your channel every day. Long may it continue. "Fly Navy"
Fly Navy!
What a thrilling account! So well composed and narrated. The tone of the voice of the pilot conveys the professionalism of these pilots.
Now, that was very informative. Very calm voice. Lots of coordination among many seamen to get the jet off.
Well, I'm only an Army grunt but I have mad respect for all you do brother. Was nice knowing you guys were around to watch our ass in OIF 2. Look forward to more. Get us some outside shots of that bird.
Such fine finesse to launch. Even in a stormy day. Fantastic work, thank you for your service!
Just when I think all is lost ...I find a great video like this that restores my hope ....
Dude the way he narrates everything so relaxed and quietly was so calming. Looks like the funnest job in the world!!!
Spectacular - these cockpit views of one of the hardest roles in the world and your commentary are amazing. Very few are chosen to FLY NAVY!
So cool! Was an engineer on the Carl V and my brother was the waist cat CPO, I spent a lot of time watching cat shots when I was supposed to be sleeping. Amazingly how they launch and the cues from the flight deck personnel to get you lined up to your catapult.
Amazing every time!! Thank you for your service!! Go Navy
Thanks as always for this! Loved the extra commentary about the ship ops/island layout as well!
Another awesome Jam with how you explain a lot of what is going on, geez how can you see where to go with all that rain and steam yikes. Thank you Pail for all you put into your Jams...Polly!
Thank you for your service. Bad ass as always.
Thank you!!! 💜💜💜
I've been watching your Voice Over Playlist from the beginning to the end a couple of times. Your work with the jams is awesome and your smooth and calming voice so relaxing to listen!! 💞💞💞
Thank you very much!!! 💪🏼💖
US naval aviation just blows my mind. The coloured jerseys, the hand signals, the pattern organisation, the landing procedure. You can tell it's well thought because it's all so simple, as far as landing fighter jets on ships could ever be called that. It all makes you go "well duh, obviously that's the best solution". The way humans iteratively improve on something to arrive at the best way of solving a problem is fascinating.
You have the calmest voice. Absolutely love it. Every one of your videos is both super chill and just amazing because there's nothing like a jet taking off, and though I was on Air Force bases, there's still that same exhilaration every time!
Cheers!
"Head goes back" makes sense when you see those intial Gs. Amazing video, fantastic detailed information, and perfect excution! Thank you so much sir!
This is the best Rain-X ad i have ever seen.
👌🏻
Huge congratulations on 100k subscribers 🎉
No surprise though, your channel is awesome. You caught me off guard with the early release of this one. Everyone on the deck earning their keep in weather like that. Super stuff, thank you again for taking us with you for the ride... Fly Navy😎💪🏼
Thanks!
I was Air Force but damn I would've loved to be launching off that carrier deck and making those short landings like you guys get to do, that adrenaline has to be flowing when you are new to that.
Wow seems like a very stressful activity but this man makes it so calm and gives so much detail it make me feel like I could launch from a carrier. Great video my man!
Love the narrating that you do now before take offs.
What a ride that must be and as always, thank you for your service !
A quick jam before I go to work. Hello from Australia
Good Morning!
Love it! Just awesome…calm and so very descriptive! Thank you for sharing such awesome videos. Thank you and all of our enlisted men and women for your service to our precious United States of America! God bless all y’all ❣️
Loving the growler jams, would be great to see all the way to above the clouds and perhaps joining up with your flight, perhaps a talkover with Navy CaseIII departures etc... keep the content coming please!
Those pics are worth way more than a thousand words. So incredible help. I love them and
appreciate highly!! A huge thank you!! 💜
Thank you for your service! And thanks for the great explanation of everything you see when you're getting ready to get hooked into the catapult. Trust me, as a civilian desk jockey who works for Uncle Sam, it's a thrill to see this video! And those of us tethered to the ground can always dream, right? Thanks again and stay safe out there!
Cheers!
Excellent! Would fly with you guys any day of the week. Ex RAF, here. CAVU skies to all aviators!
It never ceases to amaze me that more aircraft, vehicles, and people do not go rolling off the deck--especially with all of the movement involved with each aircraft. Great video!
Pail does a great job of narration on all his videos - brings back great memories!
Thank you for your service-it’s guys like you we support!
Good to see you as always, Pail! Only you can make an intense takeoff on the rain as relaxing as an ASMR video. Fly Navy 🫡
Congrats on 100K subs!!
Great Jam!!
Thank you!!
That was awesome! I really just wanted to watch the blow dry, but I was instantly hooked with all of the workings on the flight deck. Great narration!
Thank you for the pics!! 💜💜

Love listening to your calming narration! You are so far ahead of your aircraft, you make it seem so easy to do this, when in actuality, fewer than 3% of the population could. [SALUTE]

I was raised by an Air Force Pilot, but I have to say what you NAVY pilot do off these carriers is nothing short of amazing! Having learned to fly little civilian aircraft I can appreciate it more! Thank you for your service!
I love the classic flight instructor continuous gentle explanation/direction. I’m sure you do well with your trainees. :)
The respect you have for the deck crew is truly humble. They work hard, as I’m sure you know
Your casual play-by-play with a voice sounding like a guy outta high school has me riveted knowing it anything but relaxed depicting your training, discipline, & commitment to service. Thank you, sir
Cheers!
