I love the T-45 Goshawk. My favorite trainer aircraft in the world.
Really cool ... glad they seem to have the electromagnetic CAT system working. Very smooth and not seeing any steam is kind of freaky.
Same here lol. I wasn't in the CAT shop, I was Ac/nR, but it's pretty cool to see the steam
Looks to be more progressive acceleration vs the sudden thud of the steam ones
@@cirian75 That was my impression too! Like an electric car.
@@pault.mccain6637 Must be much easier on the planes = less likely to break
I miss my Goshawk instructor days, especially the boat.
Ty for your service
jon marlar must’ve been awesome I wish I could be a pilot but I’m too tall and I have glasses so that sucks but thank you for your service
@@mikemclaughlin243 you can get waivers for both fyi
MOBBmentality really?
@@mikemclaughlin243 Ya, plus they'll give you corrective surgery. The height thing might restrict what planes you could fly, but you can definitely still fly
Folks, they just decided the name of CVN-81 (the fourth Ford class carrier). It's going to be named after Doris Miller, that Pearl Harbor hero!
Thunderbird 1 outstanding, Could not have honored that hero’s legacy with a finer honor, God bless America.
Thunderbird 1 Rafe was the real Pearl Harbor hero.
@@FresnoSwag There were MANY heroes on that day.
Thunderbird 1 yes Danny too.
Considering that similar hero’s had destroyers names after them this seems yet another inconsistent ship naming action but at least it’s not the USS Jesse jackson
Beautiful aircraft! The Ford's flight deck is enormous.
I was on the development team that built the first T-45, McDonnell Douglas, Long Beach CA.
I've never seen a Goshawk with blue paint. Almost all of the footage online shows them painted with red/orange accents.
THAREALDAN it is the Test and Evaluation squadron, testing out the new catapult system is my guess. Training Goshawks are mainly red and white...clown fish!
Belongs to Strike Test.
Is this the trainer they used in Top Gun?
@@americanpatriot6240 If you mean the movie then no, they were A4 Skyhawks.
Tsu 800 thanks for the info. Who and where was the plane made? I’m retired from Lockheed Martin. I worked on the F-16,22&35 assembly lines.
Saw these jets for the first time last month at El Centro, they're louder than our Hawks. Will upload one day!
Tá vendo. País levado a sério o resultado é isso. Qualidade, poder de fogo e respeito internacional.
Been on the small boys doing plane guard and have seen hundreds of traps. This was in the early 80's watching F-14's, A-6's, and 7's, S-3's, C-1's and C-2's. Oh yeah a few E-2's as well. An air show everyday and night.
It’s such a cool little jet
I love to be on the deck watching
Beautiful jets. Based on the British Hawk, as used by the Royal Air Force's "Red Arrows".
Well done mate help me get in and all this was a British design am I right in thinking
Such a cool and good looking British plane, I’ve always liked the planes the brits make
I've always liked the planes the Americans make, especially for the US Navy, which explains why I have a pretty good collection of US Navy fighters!
This is a modified British BAE Systems Hawk built by McDonnell Douglas. Initial test aircraft was built in Long Beach CA and flight tested in Yuma Az and Paxtent River VA. Production moved to St. Louis MO. Was part of the flight test program as a Flight Dispatcher.
@@keithfreitas2983 still a British plane tho it’s still got the same basic design and look the systems are jus very different
Never thought I'd see the Red Arrows on a carrier /s
Odd not seeing any steam. Bet she has that new carrier smell, too!
Training to fly the single engine F-35's on a carrier
Gung ho!! Love this channel hoo raw!!!
Can you please make longer videos it's cool to watch
THE BEST !
Third wire catch is beautiful and can you get more first time Aviators videos please
Nice camera work! It is appreciated.
that is amazing
beautiful little jet
Wish i can be on a aircraft carrier in operation one day
Navy and Marine Aviation
Never seen a Goshawk with blue panels before...is this just for the Ford testing? Weird, not seeing steam near the cats, with the new launch system on board
Never seen a Goshawk without the International Orange colors. Light blue looks better.
What do the red lights indicate at the LSO platform after the Goshawk landed?
Good show.
Are these pilot flown traps, or is the VX test dialing in the PLS? I didn't think they were teaching new Aviators hands on landings anymore
T-45 vs. T-38 match up in a dogfight, I'd pay to see that!
Progressive rates have been tricky with the system for sure
Aircrafts can land from both directions... its only a catching cable set up right...? Can be done right.? Now flight desk is so efficient, fuel can even pump out underneath the desk, cool...love it...so efficient....that is what I mean....use back existing platform, upgrade it....scrap is no no...
磁気カタパルト？
Touch and go at super carrier
0:34 watch while singing MJ’s Billie Jean
I saw what you did Sir !! Lol
Solo Pilot Carrier deck qualification
Is this like a trainer aircraft?
Any aircraft series that starts with a "T" is a trainer... so yes this is one!
@@kng_drripmd5579 not always. Something it stands for Testing. Read the description. In this case they're testing the new electromagnetic catapult
The main purpose of the aircraft is training but that's not what they're doing here
Aren't T-45s usually painted red/white? Why's that VX-23 jet blue/white?
Bye bye white smoke. We'll miss you.
It feels a bit weird without steam.
Doughnut run for the captain
Watching the thumbnail gif I couldn't tell if this was real or DCS
these are my favorite plane. they are just so sexy.
I worked for McDonnel Douglas flight test when this aircraft was tested. I help the initial buildup and testing until it went to Patuxent River. I went on to work MD-11 and C-17 Flight Test.
During flight test, the back seat had all the data recording devices.
Well if it's good enough for the Red Arrows I guess its good enough for the US Navy. Reminds us the UK could build planes and good ones.
Could? We still do! The Hawk is one of the most successful aircraft in history!
Can you imagine the Red Arrows landing on the flight deck.....Awsome
Alternate reality: The RA uses Goshawks off of a catapult-equipped Queen Elizabeth.
@@airfastflare-x1332 How about the Reds using F35Bs instead! Imagine what they could do with them!
@@tsu8003 The Hawk would run circles around an F35 as would most aircraft, old and new.
Why Just one Marine doing Car-quals? (Must have been a small class)
📽🎬☺ morning awesome video you guys James Kansas City Missouri across the river from the downtown Airport
Ti amyyy💓💓💓💓💓
Admiro os Estados Unidos, graças são aliados .
Question for you guys who were in the Navy, pit the t-45 goshawk be armed w/ anti-aircraft missiles and a machine gun in an emergency?
No, they only drop little practice bombs. No other ordnance.
😇U.S.A.😇😇SAN MIGUEL ARCHANGEL😇
So weird not seeing any steam coming off the cats
Its an Electro Magnet system.
Why is it blue????? Never seen a blue one before. Just orange. Marine t45’s are blue?
Andy Garcia nope, Marines use the same orange & white you always see. This is a test T-45 owned by the Strike Test squadron, hence the paint.
That Is a c101 aviojet??
@@tsu8003 The c101 Is a spanish design of the a ir air force of Spain
Those sudden stops can't be real good for your neck !!!
The best of Britain and America put together! Now give these to the Blue Angels and see just what they really are capable of! Of course they'd have to learn from the Red Arrows first!
America has little Input, it was made and developed by Britain and then we Americans sort of modified it a tiny bit and changed it a little bit so it could land on carriers but apart from that it’s the same
@@bigchungus6478 I was implying a British aircraft on an American carrier really.
@@tsu8003 oh apologies then
It always amazes me how that landing doesn't rip the tails right off those jets...
CQ Det big easy. T-45A. Not this video
Nice to see a khaki do something 😆
What’s the deal with the beard.
Only person in the U.S. Navy in this video is the pilot and a few deck crew. The rest are contractors / civilian defence workers.
God damm sitting ducks and mansion siting chair force, GOARMY! 🇺🇸
Why not just bring back the A-6 skyhawk?
Because the A-6 was the Intruder!
@@tsu8003 It also was the skyhawk! The answer to the obscenely expensive fighters that were being made at the time.
@@Dbusdriver71 No it wasn't. The A-6 was and will always be the Intruder.
@@tsu8003 Please google A-6 Skyhawk and see the naval carrier based aircraft that the IAF still loves even though they are gone.
@@Dbusdriver71 I already did even though I didn't need to! The A-4 is the Skyhawk, the A-6 is the Intruder, why is that so difficult to understand?
What a boring Carrier🙄😬🙄
The justification to build the T-45 was based upon universally known stupid assumption that a smaller engine would save tuns of fuel and money (lots of back slapping at the contract award ceremony). When the first carrier flight came up the pilot avoided dumping the obviously underpowered aircraft in the ocean, and, surprise, surprise, the bigger engines that were intended all along just happened to be on board, and nobody spoke about fuel savings again to justify the old British aircraft design, and a big financial boost to England. The thicker unnecessary titanium tubing called for in the drawings was only available in England$
I’ve wondered all my life, not what does the little glass room that pokes above the deck do, but what is its name? Weird question I know but I’m sure someone has some pretty great clips from down there.
Its kinda like the catapult operating roon
