I guess it's all good for them, P&R, publicity and all that jazz. They are always interested into that kind of stuff (Think how they participated in the Final Countdown, Top Gun etc.) but they sure won't let anybody (think Joe pilot) from the fleet do it. With Pail they seem to be in good hands.
I use to be a crew chief on a F-15 demo team. The crowd will never know all the hard work and the number of people it takes to make something like this happen.
For real... I buried my father (87) last year (US. Marine Aviator 1st and Army Aviator 2nd. Retired Army LTC.) I knowingly disobeyed my dads last orders to me to keep his funeral simple and short. I requested and He received a full military and a fly over (choppers as it was his main gig). I did not receive conformation of the fly over till that morning and when I did, I threw out all my plans and worked with the Captain in charge to have everything completed in 30 mins. Being former Army (Dad handed my my first orders to proceed to The 101st.. 13Bravo 155) I handled it with aplomb and managed to obey the keep it "Short" part. I sure miss him a lot!
@@roseanneroseannadanna9651that’s an awesome story. Thanks for sharing. I’d bet money that he was chuckling watching you put together a less than simple service! God bless
That video put the growler jams in a whole new catagory! Over the top good! Absolutely spectacular not only for the fans but us too! Thank you Pail for sharing all this! Fly Navy!
Holy Freaking Cow! That was spectacular!! Thanks for giving us a quick look at our favorite Jammer! I had to pause the video for a second to see you. What you guys do is so incredible. Thank you so much for your service to our country. Many blessings to you and your family! Edit: I'm not sure why, but I always get goosebumps whenever I watch one of your videos.
I always wondered how they got the timing down on these flyovers. Knowing that there was (obviously) someone in the stadium talking to the aircraft, I always incorrectly assumed the jets were in a holding pattern much closer, maybe 30ish seconds away, which *could* make it seem more doable if the cue was "And the rockets' red glare" or wherever that would fall in the timing. I was quite wrong and I'm that much more impressed. Thank you for sharing this, Pail. Love the channel!
Great video. Every time the Braves or Falcons have a flyover, sometimes staged out of Dobbins ARB, the Nextdoor message boards light up with “why were the military jets flying around?” Most are newer people who weren’t there when NAS Atlanta had Hornets or the ANG had Eagles or the Raptors were being made there. I miss those “sounds of freedom.”
Pail, Favorite Jam so far. I predicted 'SERIOUS' epicness. I was wrong. I underestimated. Nice to finally see the front of your face, rather than the back of your helmet. Well done to all. Fly Navy.
That was amazing! What a privilege to feel we are in the jump seat. Incredible how you get the timing right with the delay, and zoop straight over perfectly!! Thank you so much, gave me goosebumps 👍🏼
Thats awesome. I bet it was stressful trying to time it just right with a delay. Back in New Orleans we had the Zephyrs baseball team that used to send their guys to the Astros and then the Marlins. We went when i was a kid on Military Appreciation Day and they had the local F-15Es and Blackhawks fly over. Always a lot of fun.
Pail, where do I even begin, but this was amazing, I think one of the best Jams you have put up, just so exciting to be right in the jet with you all, I do miss flying so much but this was so awesome to hear and see what it takes to do a flyover, Thank you so much to everyone and their hard work and especially you "Pail" thank you......Polly!
You did a service and are still providing service. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, "You are fantastic at everything you do. Young men should strive to have a portion of your dedication. You're one hell of a recruiter and teacher." Not many people have the ability to teach or coach. Some men/women are the best players in the world, but they have no idea how to teach/coach what they do. God gave you a gift.🇺🇲
I realize that times change and there is no stopping that but it hurts my heart to see civilians not military folks doing everything. Being a plane captain was attached to a specific aircraft ( mine was KA6D 523 VA-52) was an honor. Thanx for sharing
Thanks mate, I was a real treat to have you upload a fly by with USS Lexington CV-16 in the background only a few days shy the battle of the Coral Sea anniversary where USS Lexington CV-2 was lost. It was the skill and sacrifice of USN navy pilots that saved us in Australia that day back in 1942. It's not forgotten. Keep up the amazing work.
Awesome video! A lot goes into getting perfect timing on the flyover, and it’s worth it! Good videography, and edit, as well. I’ve photographed the Lexington via drone several times, so I know what it looks like from the air and as I was scrolling I saw it in the thumbnail and thought no way! A Corpus Christi jam?! The Corpus Christi area doesn’t get much airtime on the internet it seems, so yeah, I’m still surprised to see this! Good stuff!
As an Air Force ground pounder with field maintenance, I cannot express how proud I am of you and your videos. I subscribed with pleasure. High tides and following seas to you and yours.
I was down there, NAS Kingsville TX and Corpus Christi area in 1973, aerographer :) Now I am a grandpa with grandchildren and had a great Father Day weekend :)
Great video. Those shelters.over the jets are nice. In the early 80s I spent many hot hours on that ramp.as.a.Plane.Captain and the Avionics Tech on the TA-4J. No covers to.work under. VT-21 was great duty. Looks.like.the hangar has.been well taken.care of. The ready room.was.on the end.of.the building.back.then. looks like you all came.down the ladder mid hangar.
one of the best from Pail. As a retired maintainer, nice to see the work needed to get the jet in the air. Also kinda sad not to sailors anyhere to be found on the ground, just contractors
I was wondering about that. The guys on the ground given their “appearance”, I figured they couldn’t be active duty military. So you’re saying they depend on civilian contractors to do this function for them?
Fantastic behind the scene details on fly past. We take it so much for granted, enjoying the magnificent jets, not knowing there’s so much work done to make sure a flawless display is on. Thanks Pail, another fantastic video. You’re spoiling us with so many great great videos. Keep it coming. 😊😊😊
Excellent video Pail, and its good to put a face to a name. And good to see your colleagues. Just love the camaraderie of you guys. Just brilliant, every one of you.
Great video, Pail! Well done to you and your wingmen. Dad said you guys flew smartly, and he was very happy to see the Lexington make a cameo appearance, he did his qualifications aboard her in 1972. He said “I’m happy she’s in a safe place.” Thanks again Pail for making my old man’s day.
We have the “Flyover Specials” here - the B-2. The Chiefs, Royals and the daily aviation routine make it cool to see them. And they are spectacular. I even know a guy - my son - his bread and butter - BUT - there is nothing like Naval Aviation. Grew up in the Navy, Naval Aviation and will always love it. Thanks Pail.
a lot of people don't realize but those WW2+ era carriers like the Lexington (and Intrepid,Midway, Hornet...I think thats all of them, but I might be missing one) are the only aircraft carriers we'll get as Museums. All the nuclear powered aircraft carriers can't be turned into museum ships.
You've outdone yourself again, amigo. A more complex story, full of twists and turns, last minute adjustments, timed to perfection and...all beautifully told. I take my hat off to you. Please keep up the good work.
This reminds me of when I was at the Salinas (California) air show and the Blue Angels performed their precision aerobatics. I listened on my multiband radio as the leader gave his group short, precise cues during the aerobatics. They were impressive.
A masterful video. easily professional level, enhanced by that uniquely mellifluous Pail commentary. Now we know how such incredible split second timing is achieved. Keep 'em coming!
Dude that's awesome, not many can say they were trusted for a fly over for an event! As always bro, I love the spectacular display of skill and flying!!!
THAT, WAS, AWESOME!!!!!!! Your Jams just keep getting better and better every time. Smiling and grinning ear to ear the whole time. Absolutely incredible editing making viewers feel like they’re there. Signature Jam my friend. FLY NAVY!!!! 🤙🤙🤙
Watch out Blue Angels ..that looked like a ton of fun and you all looked pretty pumped. Formation looked sweet as when you flew over. CONGRATULATIONS🎉, hope you get to do that again. Those jets sure are pretty. Well done ❤❤❤❤❤
Out standing video. im 17 and live in Corpus. That day i was watching radar and listening to app/departure (120.9) and noticed the call of rusty 11 flight of 4 come through. i thought it was very interesting so i kept listening the saw yall on radar. went outside and got to see yall fly over. my goal is after highschool to go to college and get my degree and either join the navy or coastguard and become a pilot. thanks for the amazing video!
Probably one of the most enjoyable videos I’ve seen on your channel Growler. I especially enjoyed the mechanics of the prep and walk through. What you and the other pilots make to seem so effortless involves a very intricate choreographed event. Another 10. Well done. Stay safe aloft.
@@GrowlerJams Forgot to add in my comment a question. What is the grid on your canopy for? When your formation tightened up before the flyover it seems like the grid was providing a visual guide to where the other planes were in your forward field of vision.
So cool of the military top brass to allow this absolute solid gold content to be published for public consumption!!
Pail has to be one of naval aviation's top recruiters!
I guess it's all good for them, P&R, publicity and all that jazz. They are always interested into that kind of stuff (Think how they participated in the Final Countdown, Top Gun etc.) but they sure won't let anybody (think Joe pilot) from the fleet do it. With Pail they seem to be in good hands.
Literally at the recruiting office right now (waiting on my appointment) watching this! This will be me in a few years.
Good luck! Marine Corps?
You're going to love it. Fly Navy!!
Wheres the queue? And is there a special one for a 49yr old non US citizen?
Good luck buddy! I hope you will become one!
@@jumpleadsx2 Air National Guards is your best bet
Pail, former film director here, history of aerial work. You're a natural born pilot AND editor. Nice work.
Thanks!
Damn dog. That right wing is tight. By far the best airplane driver there.
@@briangoss1493 Being "tight" doesn't make him the best.

I'm not American, but dangnabit Pail if that didn't get me all fired-up! "I'll take my pie with a big ol' dollop of freedom, thank you."
FLY NAVY
Maybe as a follow-up episode you could tell us how the others got their call signs?
And flew in your front seat?
WOW
'Lota detail work for a (not so) simple fly over. Thanks
I love this channel. No fancy music or special effects. As an aerospace engineer, I love listening to all the specifics of how the aircrafts operates.
That video put the growler jams in a whole new catagory! Over the top good! Absolutely spectacular not only for the fans but us too! Thank you Pail for sharing all this! Fly Navy!
stuff like this is so cool to see how it all works. thanks for the video.
BEST national anthem in the WORLD! Even better with synchronized flyovers!
Holy Freaking Cow! That was spectacular!!
Thanks for giving us a quick look at our favorite Jammer! I had to pause the video for a second to see you.
What you guys do is so incredible. Thank you so much for your service to our country.

I'm not sure why, but I always get goosebumps whenever I watch one of your videos.
The Lex is a great tour for anyone in town. Nice flying guys!

Navy Pilots are the MOST FOCUSED, SMARTEST people on the planet ...that was awesome! ..You guys rock me! 💕~M
Sound of Freedom!
This is fantastic. Always wanted to see the complete picture of flyovers.
This was super cool: you guys did great reacting to contact & providing a field-expedient adjustment to TOT. Grunts love ya guys.🤙
Outstanding! Thanks Pail, et al!
On Time, On Target! Thank you for sharing!
I love to see you flying dudes its so wonderful watching it❤
Great team job 👏👏👏
As always, much love
Go Navy
I always wondered how they got the timing down on these flyovers.

I was quite wrong and I'm that much more impressed. Thank you for sharing this, Pail. Love the channel!

Love the narration and this time it came from several vantage points! Fly Navy!
Great video. Every time the Braves or Falcons have a flyover, sometimes staged out of Dobbins ARB, the Nextdoor message boards light up with “why were the military jets flying around?” Most are newer people who weren’t there when NAS Atlanta had Hornets or the ANG had Eagles or the Raptors were being made there.

I predicted 'SERIOUS' epicness. I was wrong. I underestimated.
Nice to finally see the front of your face, rather than the back of your helmet.
Well done to all.
Fly Navy.
Cheers! And Fly Navy.
I have 1 word. AWESOME
I really enjoy this videos, this one was amazing! Fly navy!!
The best fighter pilot channel hands down!

That was really freakin cool! Thanks for sharing...

Oh so cool!! Thanx Pail 🇺🇸
Loved the video Pail. I was Air Force, aircraft mechanic for 52 years.
TYFYS.
Thanks for this. This retired Marine has seen countless fly-overs, and has always wondered the myriad things that take place behind the scenes.
Very cool perspective and explanation! Thanks!
dream job; hope to emmigrate to the states to be able to do it for real. Thanks for the killer content. Big up from Jamaica

I think that’s the most informative video you’ve done yet. Excellent. Thank you from the Royal Air Force
Cheers!
I've wondered my whole life how its done. Thanks for the great demonstration!
Pail, I don't know what Admiral or CO you bribed to let you post this stuff, but give them a thanks. Thanks to you too, awesome content.

A Marine jet in the lead. Semper fi. Well done all.

Finally, got to put the face behind that cool, calm, amazing voice. 😀
That was realy great/perfect. Thank you Pail!!
Man, I got tears in my eyes just before the anthem ended..
What a great group of young men, Thank you for your service! (and letting us in on some of what you do).

Glad you enjoyed it!
Another awesome video. One that puts you right in the middle of the action Love it keep them coming!
Oh yeah!! Two of my favorite things in life..... Baseball and Jets!! Well done on the perfectly timed diamond formation!!
Awesome! Thanks!
