Flying the F/A-18E & New Book | Paul Tremelling (PART 2)

In part 2, former Sea Harrier and GR7/9 pilot, Paul Tremelling shares how his USN exchange tour came about to fly the F/A-18E Super Hornet with VFA-25, his training, the differences and similarities to the Royal Navy, what the aircraft was like to fly, having reheat for the first time, landing on the boat and more.
We wrap up by talking about Paul's new book, "Harrier: How to be a Fighter Pilot" (link below to buy), and the unique helmet he wore during his time in the US.

The interviews with pilots who’ve flown in different air forces are my favorite. It’s really interesting hearing the stories of pilots who’ve come up in one system and how they react to a different system and culture.

[@Siddich]

yeah, so we can hear more ppl saying the tornado sucked in close air combat 🤗🤪

[@davidsmith8997]

Another great interview! Fits with what an F-14/F-18E pilot said about the -18E in A/A. Too slow to chase down threats, but deadly as hell if you came at it. With an AESA radar with 10 AMRAAMs, it's a flying wall!

[@Aircrewinterview]

Thanks David. Glad you enjoyed the episode.

Fascinating conversation; love the content. The Super Hornet definitely seems to be an unsung hero.

[@Aircrewinterview]

Thanks very much.

[@jamietulip639]

Great content as usual. We all recognise that insignia from the original Top Gun movie!

[@Aircrewinterview]

Long Live the Hornet 😎👍🏾

[@Aircrewinterview]

Indeed 🤙

[@wayneschenk5512]

Fantastic career.

[@HerbertDuckshort]

The mythical Captain Eric “Winkle” Brown R.N. pioneered the F4 Corsair deck landing method…….just sayin’.

[@mike28003]

He brought up a major issue I have with the pinheads in the pentagon. Why do they insist every aircraft needs to be multi roll what is wrong with a dedicated fighter or attack?

[@AA-xo9uw]

Once SEAD is achieved what ATOs will get generated for air superiority fighters?

[@mike28003]

@@AA-xo9uw SEAD is sam and aa suppression

[@mike28003]

@user-li7pi2lo2k even if we achieve it there may still ba an air to air threat

[@stanleybuchan4610]

Cost, I would imagine. Why have two different ac doing different things when it can be done with one.
