They could have never pulled that off without the moustaches.
I understand it improves the handling of the aircraft. It working best when the co-pilot has one of the same size and weight and aerodynamic properties.
@@andrewhughes7092 It's crucial to have everything in trim on an aircraft, CG, pitch, roll, rudder, tach.
@@stijnvandamme76 Is it important for the pilots to shave their balls to reduce takeoff weight these days?
@@andrewhughes7092 hair doesn't grow on titanium 💪
@@chrishollar6080 Very good. :-)
I had to read about this behemoth...80 ft wingspan, 57 ft long. Very few people in the world can do what he and the copilot are doing. A confident and humble pilot who doesn’t mind showing us when he doesn’t stick the first landing. He’s a smart one too!
Thanks Mo, you’re the man!
I think you’ll enjoy my podcast! Hope you can check it out.

Actually I’m a woman😊. Nickname for Maureen. Gals like flying too!
@@moryan6447 You are right! This gal does, too. My father was a military pilot a long time ago. I inherited his love of airplanes.
@@moryan6447 in fairness if your name was Stacey he would assume you were a woman, even though Stacey is a gender neutral name. 🤷🏾♂️
Oh I know but wanted to clarify and indicate women like flying and big planes too🤗. And I like offering kudos particularly when someone is willing to show when he/she is challenged for whatever reason. Shows confidence, humility and good judgment.
Several years ago my ski club and myself were trying to fly over from Denver to Aspen airport on an un-name airline. The first two flights attempted to get in but couldn't because of minimums and turbulence. We were about to give up and get rooms when one last flight became available. The baggage guys were getting used to seeing us so we asked what were the chances we would get into Aspen on this last flight. They laughed and said 100%. We asked why was that and they said the pilot of this flight just recently got out of the navy and was quite proficient at landing twin turbos on moving air strips. He was right, zero flare and no bounce.
So very true….
Great story, thanks for sharing!
I'm amazed at how these pilots can stick a twin turbo prop on that deck at all forget night traps ..they must have King Size Aggitts ....
@@TheRoguelement stick is an understatement.
Guess how many landings it takes to make one a magician?
Yeah the horror of trying to fly into Aspen. Better bet is to fly into Denver and rent a truck or Suburban and drive 2- 2.5 hours up.
Just the sights and sounds of the airplane. Thanks for no music.
Thanks a lot... Now I've got "Let the bodies hit the floor" stuck in my head.
Imagine Godsmack in the background. New Navy commercial.
And no explanation either!! I like it!!
I Love the sounds, no talking, it's perfect!! 🤍
Facts
"Two Glorious Mustaches Landing a Plane."
The mustaches are the whole Robin Olds thing.
With great mustache comes great responsibility
@@andrewstallings6548 How else do you think they got the jobs in the first place? They don't just let anybody fly one of these things.
FO's mustache is so far out of regs lol
All C-2A pilots are required to have these... It's in the regs, I think.
Facial expressions, body language, demeanor never changed...takin' care of business, awesome!
Noticed that myself. Didn’t get frustrated or make mistakes, just remained calm and did his job.
I think there was a small look of relief when he got the hook. To be expected no matter how calm and collected you may be.
Going around is a possibility and option for every landing and should be practiced. Looks like he chose a real short approach for the challenge of it, accepting the increased probability of a go-around. Gotta keep training. The level they fly at is a perishable skill.
jeez when I realize i left my phone in the car, or when i scramble to remember where my EZ-Pass is when i pull up to a toll-plaza, i'm a squeaky panicking mess.
Looks extremely "spastic" to me, lacking equanimity.
I love the way his co pilot is just chillin
Is he even awake?
He trusts his pilot.
If you real close you can see the big whit eyes thru the visor! 😂😂
I honestly thought he was going for a cigarette after the 2nd attempt
In my opinion you are one of the best pilots flying! I couldn't even imagine the pressure you were under after 2 wave offs. You forgot all that and landed safely. Wave offs will only bring out the character in a person and you my friend are amazing with those deep hidden qualities you posse. I would fly with you any day!
My thought exactly! You could see the tension before the first attempt in cockpit, but then pretty much no reaction after the first and even second missed landing. That is some cool-under-pressure flying!
I think, maybe these boys have done it so many times that they expect, plan, and train to do exactly what they did. The fact that the Navy lets them do it means they are VERY good.
Better to go around then to commit to a bad approach and live another day. That’s a mighty small piece of real estate to land that big ol bird on. Job well done thanks for your service.
Perfectly said. Thanks Aaron!
A piece of real estate that's moving while you try to land on it! And you might still encounter random crosswinds! It's no wonder that pilots need to go around on occasion.
you reminded me of the song "You can always go around"
Looks like there is not much room between wingtips and parked aircraft. Not sure what is more scaring: sitting in the landing aircraft or standing near the parked aircraft.
AGREED.
A rare video that doesn’t have an awful music bed in it .
The only thing that would be better would be to include voice audio.
It’s videos like these that really make you appreciate one. how big the ocean is two. how small these aircraft carriers really are when you’re approaching them and three. how bad ass these pilots are
A friend of mine described it like this: "There are two pilots flying, even in a single seat. One of them is betting his life he will catch the wire and is fully committed to it. The other is Betting his life he will miss the wire and is fully committed to a go around/bolter. They are both in charge and one of them will be right."
I'm impressed by how cool and collected you two are even after being waved off twice. It's just business as usual.
Oh he's in a cold sweat don't you worry
@@jasontipton8430 Yeah the pucker factor was real lol
I once had to land an A380 on an aircraft carrier, obviously with no tail hook, we also had to go around three times before we could land the thing, but that was actually only because a passenger was refusing to stow his tray table. Taking off was another matter altogether, but hey, it's not about me !!
Eons and eons ago I used to fly small planes (Cessna 150s and 152s) out of a very small, very rural airport. I used to think that trying to put that tiny plane down on a 2950' x 50' runway was extremely difficult. If I remember correctly the final approach speed was around 55 knots and that's slower than even my grandma drove. My perception of the level of difficulty involved in that compared to this changed dramatically when I started seeing vids like this. Thanks for what you do!
Landing a plane isn’t necessarily easy, either way you skin it and learning how to land Cessnas helped prepare me to land these beasts. At the end of the day, practice makes better.
Thanks for the kind words!! ☺️
My thoughts exactly. I learned to fly on a Cessna 150 with 3,000 ft of runway available which is, of course, more than sufficient if you do it right. But seeing this, I have nothing but admiration for the state of stick-and-rudder capabilty of the pilots.
3 000 ft used to be considered a comfortable size for a DC-3 to operate from.
If you think 3,000' is tight for a little Cessna...
Seriously, 2,400' is comfortable for even a 172. If it wasn't hot and I wasn't heavy, I think putting a 152 down on 1,500' would be relatively easy.
But landing on a carrier... nope, nope, and nope. I can put 'er down on the numbers, but the numbers I land on don't move.
Do a youtube search for "Viggen landing and takeoff" :D
The most impressive part to me is your co-pilot just chilling, arm resting on the windowsill, throughout it all.
That's trust.
First try: "Crap I missed"
Second try: "Crap I blinked"
Third try: "I just want my coffee dammit"
Haha, EXACTLY!!
Lol.. That made me chuckle a bit!
wrong the second time the pilot was waved off and not permitted to land. Pay attention
@@Executiveinvestments- shhh, he just blinked.
@@Executiveinvestments- someone call bolter, cuz someone missed the joke...
I've been around aviation...this is a very tight and busy environment. Nice job guys!
The deck crew all watch intently because they know their Amazon shit is coming!
😂
@Robot dog bosnia is hard for all
yes but is hard if try go offroad, nazi had problems in 2.ww,and croats,serbs,muslims and americans in last war too
@Robot dog no, because of wildness of landscape
@Robot dog Still is.
Your are one focused man. Clearly that ain’t a cake walk. You and your partner are clearly an asset to our nation. Thankyou both.
Good stuff. You naval aviators are a special breed . Top skills. Respect from South Africa
Sitting in that right seat has to be nerve-racking at times. I know they get busy but it is a sign of professionals that they all do what they do so well. Thanks for all you did and do...
You get used to it, but yea you’re definitely “along for the ride.”
And in Naval Aviation, we switch seats almost every flight so that we stay proficient in both.
Yes, I am amazed at how calm the other pilot is. Considering how I push non-existing pedals as a passenger in a car.. 😁
Even more interesting as a RIO. I enjoyed 5 bolters once on the Enterprise because the 3 and 1 wires were down. Caught the 4 wire of the 6th one.
They did touch and go they didnt get waved off
@@Amon_Gus6969 ? Did you finish watching the video? They get waved off the second time around you can even see the meatball go red
yesterday, i parked my Honda fit in a very crowded parking - first try - so, take that Navy pilot!
Parallel park?
so you are saying that parking a car(which is 2d) is harder than landing a plane(3d) on a moving airfield where one wrong move could hurt or kill hundreds if not thousands of people.
That's like saying you slid one more folder in the filing cabinet. Childs play.
Reminds me of the surgeon complaining about his high BMW repair bill to mechanic, and mechanic says, "...well you know, factory parts, tech manuals, trainings in Germany sometimes, we are all specialists..it all adds up! Besides doc, what are you complaining about? What do you charge for heart surgery?"
Doc says, "About $12,000 more or less...difference is, I have to work on the 'engine' while it is running!"
First off, the US Navy and Marine Corps has Aviators. Learn something before sounding like a total moron ... again.
Hey Rob. Retired Navy air traffic controller here. Was stationed aboard USS Ranger (way before your time). Love watching all your videos. Never got to fly in the C-2. I did a deck run on a C-1, which scared the crap out of me. Also had the opportunity to do a trap in a US-3 and 2 cat shots on same aircraft. Again, great job! Thank you for serving!
_Two beautiful patriots with two beautiful mustaches!_
_You're delivering hope, and giving our sailors and war-fighters something to fight for!_
That last landing was “moustaboulas”, Loved 6:57 when the co-pilot checked if his stash was still there.
Lol love it!
This is so satisfying seeing the AoA lights on the dash. I used to work on those and they where controlled by a little motor (DC I think but it's been 15+ years) and some cams on the shaft that would depress 5 microswitches.
I served on a couple carriers and was always impressed by the ability of the pilots. What is even more impressive was seeing the night landings.
Deepest respect for any aircraft carrier pilot. From a retired Apache back seater who, after watching this video, appreciates the use of a collective even more.
Man.. you guys have the biggest balls of them all. Legit can't imagine trying to land something that big on a floating mobile runway the size of my glovebox, holy hell. The fact that this can even be done is a marvel of engineering and technology, probably one of the coolest things that exists.
3rd time's a charm. The ball busting will be epic I bet. God bless 'em. That's hard on a flight sim. In an office chair. Knowing you won't die.
I just literally laughed out loud....
We need a C2 for DCS. I could damage the carrier even more than I do now!
The skill, concentration, and composure to finally make the “trap” was amazing. I was getting flustered watching it happen from the comfort of my couch!
Straight up awesome! Pure pro. No fuss no muss. Comes around and sticks it.
I've watched many F-4 Phantom landings from behind on a Plane guard Tin Can, and often wondered how it would look landing on a carrier. Thanks for the video.
This is like watching Super Troopers and Top Gun at the same time. Great flying Farva!!!!
Thanks Jarrod!
It takes a different breed. Thank you for service gentlemen!
Thanks man!
I have to thank you and your brethren for taking those beasts out to the carriers. I was on the Abraham Lincoln in '93 when we were diverted from a planned stop in Dubai to just off the coast of Somalia. Our (usually daily, announced over the 1MC whenever the incoming pilot would call the ball - if you have to deploy for 6 months at a time, do it on a carrier) mail bounced from Dubai to Bahrain, to who-knows-where; trying to figure out where we were actually located in the world, and how to catch up with us. It had been probably two weeks since hearing "120 pounds of mail, on the ball" or something similar. I remember hearing something along the lines of "2700 pounds of mail, on the ball". We had been told it was coming, because every TV on the mess decks, and in every office and lounge was tuned to the flight deck cameras, and everybody who wasn't on watch was cheering for that giant beast with the unique tail that was literally bringing us over a TON of mail. That mail call included a care package with homemade fudge in it. Seeing that plane, especially nose first from a low angle, always makes smile from that day forward.
Awesome! Looks like you caught the 4 wire at the end there. I can't imagine what it's like to do this. I spent some time trolling at 50 knots in a Piper cub operating off of a grass strip, but it lacked the flair of carriers, moustaches, and military might. Thanks for the vid.
Watching other videos of C2 and E2 landings the amount of corrections on the yoke and throttle is crazy. Plus no HUD symbology to assist with landing. Major respect especially for night traps.
Excellent. Thank you very much for taking the time to film and share your cat shots, bolters and traps. I have the highest respect and regard for what you guys do. From an ex Royal Navy Sailor ⚓️⚓️⚓️
Awesome, thanks Phil!!
Rob, watching this as a new subscriber and really impressed / challenged with this video. It shows that even professionals need a few times to make it perfect but more than that is the patience and lack of frustration. A good reminder for my own job!
“Bolter Bolter!” I heard that so many times during my career it almost became my call sign.
totally
It seems to me that any bolter is a waste of gas military efficiency and time. There's got to be a better way that an aircraft can be captured. How about replacing reverse polarity magnets along the side of an aircraft and if it touches down anywhere in a long strip it automatically comes to a stop. I'm just trying to think of different ideas than wires in a hook
@@cogitoergosum1474 I'm no aircraft expert, but it seems that the magnetic field strength required to stop an aircraft moving that fast would be insanely high, requiring an insane amount of current. Attaching magnets large enough to actually be useful would not only affect the plane's radar cross section, but also cause increased fuel usage during the entirety of the flight. I doubt the cost of occasional extra fuel usage due to a bolter would outweigh the cost and fuel usage of a magnetic system.
@@chezcracker Thank you for your counter argument. Interesting subject
And here I thought you were talking about Space Marines Bolters.
What an amazingly skilled man you are, I take my hat off to you Sir ! Thank you for your service. Waoh !
That was amazing. Keep going, never give up attitude until u succeed. Aircraft carrier pilots are a different breed. I was on the edge of my seat.
That looks insanely difficult! What a professional crew.
I flew Corsairs and then Hornets on the East Coast. A day trap was like going to the amusement park for a fun ticket ride. I finished with 467 traps on mainly east coast carriers. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your service. My Dad was based in Oceana and flew the A-6 Intruder VA-176. Off the F.D.R.
You didn't say how much fun you had doing night traps . . .
I was on the Kennedy 92-93. Finished with 22yrs in 2011. Loved my time but Boeing pays better! Nope, not a pilot. Was an AK and then MA. (Also, Blue Angels 96-99).
@@nemo227 lol
@@flyrobroy After night traps comes traps blindfolded? Naaaaahhhh! I'd love to make a carrier landing but I doubt they'd allow an 82 year old man to try it. Daytime trap in clear weather and calm seas only. Just give me a call. I'll buy lunch.
Way to keep your cool guys...Im nervous just watchin this!!! Go Navy!!!
You are an awesome pilot. Thanks for keeping America secure and for the content.
Keep em flyin' Rob !!😊
Love how you clear left right before the hard bank. Good stuff.
You gotta. Many a pilot has been killed by having bad SA (situational awareness) and literally turning into another plane.
@@flyrobroy like a boss! nice work!
Rob Roy "Mirror, Signal, Turn" I suppose?
Boy, and I thought I had a hard and stressful day at my office..I'll stop whining when I get back home in the evening! Hats off!
Ha, thanks brother!
IN MY VIEW
I am in awe over the pilot and co-pilot's calm focused determination to land.
WOuld have loved to hear comms during this. I bet they were cool calm and had a no anxiety in anyone during the landing. Great video! Semper Fi!
I'm totally the expert on carrier landing, never done one, not even a pilot but... I'm totally opened to finding all the flaws of his multiple landing attempts! Yes sir! The expert is here!
I respect all military pilots, however, I feel that much confident when flying commercial and find out that pilot is a Navy aviator. Much respect sir!
Same here. I always pray that I get a gray hair, ex Navy pilot from the last century flying me across the Pacific or Atlantic.
Naval aviators the best in the business he makes it look easy. Awesome as always.
👍🏼 brings back memories working on the flight deck. I was an aviation electrician in VF-33. Couldn’t wait for the COD as you brought us our mail and delivered our mail.
Must be where the camera is positioned, looking forward.....but it looks like you're high just as you're rolling into the groove.
Mad props (no pun intended😂) to naval aviatiors. I love watching stuff like this. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Colin!
Land at sea! Man, the English language gets stretched a thousand ways and still makes sense. As a civilian, I have huge respect or those that served and serve. Thank you sir.
Ha! Excellent point
I hear English is actually incredibly hard to learn for foreigners for that very reason.
You go Rawhide. I was in fltlogsuppron 40 twenty plus years ago. I was an IFPC. Had over 100 cats and traps. Had probably 700 fclp approaches at Fentress as well. So awesome you post this. Lets me reminisce a little. Anyway, get on down with it LT. Fly safe and keep haulin that mail. Thanks for your service.
When I was an Air Force pilot, several of us spent a few days on the Saratoga (I think, it was almost 50 years ago). We were in “pri-fly” watching some reservists from JAX doing night quals. As I remember, I think they were A-4’s and one pilot had trouble getting aboard and had just gotten his second wave off. I think it was the LSO asked the Air Boss what he wanted to do and after a millisecond, the Air Boss responded in a loud commanding voice, “SEND HIM TO THE BEACH.” That was the end of the discussion. The Navy does not tolerate poor performance!
Props, pun intended. Love that if you didn't watch the nose view, and just watched your expression, you had the same poker face of professionalism and focus on getting the mission done no matter if it was the one that took another try or the one you stuck. Thanks for standing the watch. Stay safe. Glad landing a submarine on a pier was only close to that challenging--once.
Thanks for the kind words Matthew! And thanks for your service as well 🫡
@@flyrobroy Team effort. If you ever roll your landing gear here in ORF, let me know--glad to share sea stories and buy you a beverage for relieving my watch! ATB, FWFS, Matt
Wow! I can imagine how hard it is to land a plane, but to do it when the freaking "ground" is moving below you? Great job! Thanks for your service to the Nation.
I would have gone into a holding pattern and used the toilet. Let the copilot sweat it out a little more just for some fun. I'll bet you guys still talk about this one over beers. My dad would have loved to have seen this. Two years in WWII and 20 years in the reserves as a CPO. I love the Navy. Thanks for your service.
The toughest job in the world. Landing on a moving target with only a little room to catch a wire to trap! And then a controlled crash at the end. Badass! And Naval Aviators are the only ones in the world that have to do it day and night. Why the wings are GOLD people! As a mechanical engineer (licensed) and part of a three generation Navy family, utmost respect to you! My brother was the PAO for the Air Wing in 2017-2018! Christopher Giglio, USN, LT
This is the kind of video I could binge watch the whole day! I hope there's more to come ;)
Greetings from Germany!
There are 🤙🏼
Every video ive seen of you piloting this massive aircraft, you make it look easy , man this is very impressive
It's a very SLOW aircraft. Look up it's stats and what other pilots say if you don't want my word for it. It's by FAR the EASIEST plane to land on the boat. Again, BY FAR.
Mous'Touch'n'Go :)
Great video.
I have great respect for Greyhound pilots, no HUD, no flight path marker.
Yea, you got it! Thanks!
Thank you for a great video. Impressive young pilots and their flight support crew just doing their job! Carry On US Navy and Marine Corps!
Thanks for the kind words David!
I here you actually need a mustache to sign up for this position . Its a prerequisite
Fact 😎
Dang, beat me to it!😄
Yeah. Even the split tails have mustaches.
@Phil Prerequisite. Landing on a Carrier requires the kind of testicular fortitude that can only come from a sweet 'stache, regardless of what's between your legs.
I'm digging your videos bro! You're making it look way too easy. I'm a E175 airline guy...much respect to ya 🙌
Ha, thanks Gregg! Thanks for what you guys do too, getting us from A to B!!
Magical, so glad you landed safely. What an incredible feat! Greetings from 🇬🇧
3rd time was the charm. Landing in C2 on the Stennis in 2018 was an experience I will never forget.
One of the best video i've ever seen. I repeat this video 5 time 🤩🤩🤩 perfect💪🏻👑❤️💫💐👌🏻✌🏻💥
Mav: "Goose It's time to buzz the tower"
Goose: "How about you just land the fucking thing"
lol
Great videos rob, keep them coming
Sweet 'staches, guys!! Seriously - very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Bryan 🤙🏼
I don’t think the Hawkeye will get airborne without at least one epic mustache onboard. Two is possibly too many, it doesn’t even want to land, evident from this video.
I'm not a pilot, but I played one in a few sim games! You pilots are awesome! The skill and dedication has always been admirable!
Is it safe to assume that you crashed and burned? It’s OK. A for effort ❤️🇺🇸💙
Great to see the world's greatest pilots of the United States military, l salute all milatary personnel from the past to present. Thank you for your service.
The humanity of the pilot is striking. It takes everything he's got to make what looks like a routine landing from the outside. It is impressive that no matter how many times he has done this before he uses controlled breaths & moves to the edge of his seat. That illustrates how mortally risky the action is.
I don’t know how you guys walk around with those huge tungsten balls swinging around. 😀
Practice, practice, practice...
He'd never have done it without that moustache!!!
Props to the stache! 😉
Both staches
I thought this was all a setup and I actually was on PornHub...
@@gwcrispi The extended version has someone peeking through the window after we trap and it just gets weirder from there... lol
@@flyrobroy what's that word you say at 6:43 just after you finally trapped? Was it family friendly? Or was it something you might hear in a 70's porno? 😉
I like that when Rob is red cheeked and quite stressed his copilot is very relaxed
Respect for that! It's awesome to see how they touch down so a big plane at so a thiny carrier! Good job guys!!
Any landing where you are alive and the aircraft is in one piece is a good landing.
Each one of these blokes gets cloned from the previous bloke through the giant mustache they have.
They ARE the mustache.
At 5:11 mark, you have what appears to be a smirk & chuckle…, if you can say, what was that about…. I am imagining that right seat man is giving you some type of “ribbing” about the go around and the wave off…. I can only imagine that is not “G” rated for all viewers…., and that it is not “berating” you…, just the typical work place/fellow co-worker “back & forth that goes on in most day to day work place environments across this great country…
Thank you both for your service to this great country…, as F’ed up as it is at the moment, it still is the greatest country on this planet.
I love your videos, and podcasts…,
Thank you sir.
Very impressive, I liked how you showed how many times it can take to get it right! Thanks for sharing!
People have no idea how hard this is... it takes extraordinary skills to pull it off and a mustache.
So fun for those of us that have never been there. That other pilot is cooler than the other side of the pillow.
haha, thanks Brent!
I could not be that cool with no ejection seat.
One of my favorite quotes from Stuart Scott, RIP.
I appreciate this view of landing on the carrier. I’ve only seen, and of course on television, the landing while someone is filming on deck. I just don’t know how you do it, but just keep at it.
They all waiting for dinner, those two holding everyone up for lunch 😂
Great videos. Thanks for your service. I noticed your cheeks get(more) flushed red as you start the landing sequence. I'm sure it's adrenaline. But cool under pressure. Thanks for providing these great views.
Thanks Paul!
Guys, Thank you for your service. Thanks for sharing video. Just awesome men.
Lol dude the stash every time gets me 🤣 love the video though, good to see honest people with the failures they have! Herd that's one of the hardest things to do
Navy pilots are ultimate heroes.
@Blue Lobster Which, makes them heroic.
Thanks Mark!
These guys are superhuman!!!
That’s what I keep telling my wife, but she doesn’t see it 😎
Three times a charm! That looks crazy difficult.
Bless our Vets. Thank you for your Service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
