I look forward to seeing these vids as they come out! It's great to hear from the pilot's perspective exactly what you're seeing. Only sad part....NO SIGNITURE MOVE!!!🤣
He is a good pilot with some nice footage, and just a real smooth voice over. I also got instantly addicted when I came across this channel. that being said I hope I also see some footage in a couple years. the sky is the limit.
Never give up on your dream, friend. Kick ass and focus on your marks, and never let ANYONE tell you that you can't do it, because you can. Don't give up on your dream like I did because some retarded 5th grade teacher told me I wasn't good enough at long division to fly. Apply yourself and you will be fine.
The best pilots are the ones who want to be the best pilots. Never be intimidated by others, looks can be deceiving, keep your head down and keep your eye on the prize! Sometimes the difference is just perseverance. @@Kjell777Iverson
Sierra Hotel! Love these jams. At 1:45 it's cool to see your wingman in the mirror, slide into echelon formation. I can tell you've spent a lot of time studying your checklists. Your cadence of calling out the items shows the Navy way of flying. Keep them coming, BRAVO ZULU!
Thank you for this clip. Was a Naval Flight Officer back in the 1980's and enjoyed the memories of an approach and the checklist challenge/replies that we went thru. Though it was in an S-3, still, fun times!
I love it, well done! All of your videos are interesting to watch. No hyped up clickbait or Hollywood drama, just flying the damn jet. Keep it up man 👍
This was awesome. I was a medical professional for a fixed wing ambulance service out of Yuma Az. About 50 miles from El Centro. We flew out of the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) and went to El Centro many times. It was great to have my old stomping grounds featured. Thanks.
I think Growler jams does a stellar job in showing the public (i.e., the non-carrier pilot crowd) a real life perspective of a naval aviator; via the ability to put them (virtually) in the cockpit for a ride along. Very insightful, with a humble, straight forward narrative given in each episode. *Well done!! Keep 'em coming!! /JH
No one does the voiceover info like this. Makes it so interesting. At 1:45 you can see the wingmen in the rear view...very cool. Looking forward to many more Goshawk content videos. Thank you!
50 years since I was there with pilots from multiple squadrons flying 5-6 hops a day trying to get our training done before end of fiscal year. Last hop would end up North Island, where this Jersey boy would learn that only milk would put out a Mexican fire. Truly appreciate your calm smooth voice.
El Centro was the beginning of the end for me. Pulling off target for the 4th time , on the 4th hop of the day, lefthand pattern, I hear a voice say "Mark, look around now." Look to my left and see the TA-4 who is supposed to be behind me and the back of a white helmet. Leveled the wings, extra lift, and he slid beneath me. I don't know who that voice was saving that day..., me, the other pilot, or the "safety" officer's career. No debrief, never talked to either. I'm slow to 'burn' until I think things through, but by that time we were on to the 5th hop of the day. I was far from perfect with 3 instances where I lost concentration. wrong rw, ADF approach, and worst a near ATS at Nellis. But my orders in '73 were to become an ATC and head back to NAS Kingsville. Had very little self confidence most of my life and the idea of possibly becoming an instructor broke what little I had then. I DOR'd. What I'm most proud of, putting my aircraft on the 3 wire 10/11. This is where I get to say, "If I only knew then what I know now." 'fingers and toes' that's exactly how I thought of flying smoothly.
Brilliant to see the T45 featured. I had 25 enjoyable years at BAE Brough, UK, working on machine maintenance. I believe every T45 wing set was manufactured and tested there. Great years, and great work colleagues. Keep the T45 vids coming.
I’m so glad you have chosen to be part of my country’s defense and your chosen profession thanks a bunch from this old ground ponder take care Navy Blue
Cheers to those "teachers" in the fleet (i.e., the instructor pilots and L.S.O.'s) that train our young, fledgling aviators each and every day! As a school teacher, I fully appreciate the value of a teacher that can effectively convey his or her knowledge in order to obtain positive results in their students. You just can't appreciate or emphasize this important talent enough.
I wish my cousin, who flew more than 200 missions in P-47s against the Nazi forces in WW2, could watch these wonderful videos, too. He remained in the USAF after that war rising to the rank of Lt. General. Before becoming a general officer, he got to fly nearly every fighter the USAF ever had. While he never talked about his work in the war, he always told me how much he loved flying those airplanes. He passed away a few years after retirement, but I know he would love to share a few of those beers with you, Pail.
Great video as always. I live in Long Beach Ca and several weekends a year the Marines will do similar maneuvers where they line up with the runway and then circle back to land. The best part is I can walk out the front door and the plane is straight overhead with the gear down. Love that sound!
Absolutely can’t get enough of the Goshawk jams…such a great jet. I was so excited to make my first carrier trap in DCS but you make the real thing look so effortless!
Great, love the detailed commentary, I was a private pilot 20Fr arts ago and talking to yourself through the checks and procedures is necessary for competent piloting. Keep up the jams
My skipper was determined our squadron looked sharp around the boat. "Few see us flying away from the boat, so we shall have the most disciplined echelon when they do see us." At sea in those days we entered the break at ABOVE 250 knots. Thanks for the video.
I just really enjoy these narrated videos. I watched your earlier 'silent movie' videos and enjoyed them, too, even though I didn't really understand what was going on all the time with the on-deck maneuvering...but these voice-over videos (with your occasional "signature move" 🤣) are a true pleasure to watch...Thanks for these
Sounding like a broken record, but dang, y’all are amazing! Love watching your videos and am amazed! Thank you so much for sharing. We are so blessed to have men like you in the cockpit protecting our precious country! Gods blessings as always,and please keep those awesome videos coming!
Great video. I haven't been to El Centro for 40 yrs (A-7E). Looks like the facility has built up nicely. Also nice to see the Training Command deploy to sites other than home base. Great learning experience. Blue skies.
So satisfying to see and hear a true professional at work in his "office." Love the new jams, whether Growler or Goshawk. I'd fly along with Pail in Cessna Skyhawk, even.
You are the BEST!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Thank you very much for all of your jams. I appreciate highly your time, effort, and sense of humor you've put in with them. 💞💕💞 I love your jams so much! 💕💕💕
I had the chance to talk on ham radio to another Growler pilot named Adam awhile back. I have to assume you know him. I believe he lives near Whidbey Island. Just curious. Thanks.
Love the T45. Live down here in Corpus Christi near the local airport CRP and they ALWAYS get my attention when coming in for the approach. Sometimes low and slow other times in formation and screaming overhead for the carrier break. Little bird with a big sound.
I'm in Kingsville, so I've been living with Jet Fuel in my veins since I was a baby lol. I can barely remember the transition as a kid from the Buckeye and Skyhawk to the Goshawk.
I had some backseat time as a Staff Sergeant in TA-4J's back in the late 70's while stationed at NAS Jacksonville on the active duty staff with the Marine Air Reserve Training Detachment there. Those end-of-the-flight carrier breaks over midfield were a blast.
I love every single one of your vids! Not having been in any service or airline, my life revolves around aviation since I was 10, and your vids just are awesome!
You could post up a full mission 11 hour video and I would watch the entire thing from start to finish. You commentary on the goings on are super interesting. Thanks for taking the time!
NAFEC was my favorite place to bird watch for the past 15 years, until I moved to Texas last fall. I miss the old Pearl of the Desert. Many many times out there at Photocalls, Blue Angels Winter Training, meeting the team, and just enjoying all the fleet traffic in the winter, spring and fall.
I loved this video. I was stationed at NAF El Centro from 93-96. Great memories and I must have replayed the break over the base a half dozen times telling my poor wife where our hanger and barracks were. Thanks for sharing.
Flew over El Centro once in a UH-1H HUEY while stationed in SO CAL. Nice landing without a pitching and rolling deck. Great training aircraft for the Naval Aviator/Wings of Gold applicants. Narration is "spot on!"
Loving the Goshawk videos and seeing the training of the next generation of naval aviators. My nephew, a recent NROTC grad, is in initial flight training at Pensacola right now. It's comforting to know guys like you Pail are teaching him the way!
Ive been stupified drooling over the Blue Angels every year when they come to my city since I was a child. Nothing has changed, I run to the window or outside for every pass, breaking my neck to see them until out of site...every day the whole week they fly. You are definitely providing the closest thing I will ever get/feel/see to being in the cockpit, and understanding the job. 👊
Yesss, finally the T-45 jams!👏 I really loved this one, flying and smoothly landing with you was really cool😁👍! Off topic: I like the painted pail on your helmet😉...you wear your call sign with pride.
Well, then I guess the best thing is to let you and your family enjoy your well-earned summer vacation!! My wife and I were at NAS North Island last week, and it reminded me of you and your podcast. So that made me check to see if you had any new episodes. In any event, me and a million of my best friends will be anxiously awaiting you return to TH-cam. God bless, J.H.
Love watching this video over and over, love watching all of the videos. Better than television ! Had my EA18 G T shirt arrive today, It's great. "Fly Navy"
I have no idea what I’m watching, but gosh darn it, when you said the other two jets “snuggle up”, I decided that you are cool! Stay safe out there. Peace to all.
El Centro was my favorite place to deploy when I was stationed at NAS Miramar. My last time there was in 1979 with TOPGUN when we went there for gunnery practice.
I'm glad these are back. It's nice to watch the different variety of your videos, all of which are great now with voiceovers on. Thanks for explaining the hand signals, I find that interesting. I liked that on your carrier videos too!
Love this video as always. You make it so personal ( as if I'm there with you and you make it understandable). I hope you continue as long as possible and I seriously Thank You sir!!!! ❤❤❤
I just recently found your videos and I just wanted to tell you I really enjoy them. Your commentary is not only informative but humorous which is awesome. This video hits home with me, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor they built Pasco naval air station to train new pilots. They also used Vista field which is about a mile from my house. Vista field trained a lot of navy pilots for carrier landing and takeoff- they had a catapult installed for that. They trained on the Stearman then the Wildcat and Hellcat. In all there was over 260,000 flight training hours logged between Pasco and Vista Field, third most behind Pensacola and Corpus Cristi. Keep up the awesome work and if you’re ever in eastern Washington let me know and I’ll buy you a beer.
As someone who loves planes and aspire to be a fighter pilot, Whenever I'm waiting for DCS or really anything to load, I switch to this tab which is your voiceovers playlist. have fun up there in the skies. Fly Navy.
With your voice and narrating, how much can one love your jams!! 💖💖💖 Thank you for sharing, so much fun to get to fly with you, love it!! 💞 You have good & nice upcoming week! ✈️⚓️🤍
Great video. Have seen this many times from the ground cool to see it from inside. Little nicer than the 172 I usually fly. I grew up in Yuma and have driven around that region over to San Diego so many times.
Just found your channel and sure glad I did! Been loving the videos. Reminds me of when I was in Kingsville Texas about 5 years ago and spent free time taking photos and video of the T-45's doing touch and go's at the NAS Kingsville. Keep up the great videos.
Bro you are like the Bob Ross of military aviation (and I mean that as a compliment). Such a soothing voice lmao "We're just going to paint a happy little landing here." I'd want you as an instructor 100% of the time hahaha
Very cool! I have been to El Centro a couple of times to do photos. Great airport and love to photograph you guys coming and going! I enjoy your video's a lot!
Glad to see the Navy are allowing you to put these up, really eye opening to see how it’s all done, really appreciate it!
@@paulprigge1209 Oh so true that !
@@paulprigge1209they need all the help they can get
for whatever reason.. navy have a more relaxed attitude to their pilots putting up videos compared to the airforce.
Yeah it's called recruitment 😅
I could listen to you read the phone book. The amount of work you put into these videos is truly amazing.
Your calm voice is the Bob Ross of aviation
I look forward to seeing these vids as they come out! It's great to hear from the pilot's perspective exactly what you're seeing. Only sad part....NO SIGNITURE MOVE!!!🤣
Might be an ergonomic difference between the Hornet/Growler and the Goshawk?
hahaha...same thought, also noticed NO signature moves 😂😂
Currently a high school student with hopes of becoming a Navy pilot. You're a huge inspiration and actually got me interested into Naval Aviation.
He is a good pilot with some nice footage, and just a real smooth voice over. I also got instantly addicted when I came across this channel. that being said I hope I also see some footage in a couple years. the sky is the limit.
Why would you want the coolest job in the world?????
Never give up on your dream, friend. Kick ass and focus on your marks, and never let ANYONE tell you that you can't do it, because you can. Don't give up on your dream like I did because some retarded 5th grade teacher told me I wasn't good enough at long division to fly. Apply yourself and you will be fine.
@@Kjell777Iverson Thank you! I sure will. I'll never let anyone push me down because of what you said

My dad was stationed at NAF in El Centro for three years (1966-1969) and we lived on base. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for pointing that out. I totally missed it the first time I viewed it.
That's a lovely shot!
Yep, the pace of Jam's narration exactly matches to pace of the aircraft - it's a perfect fit 👍

I don't know why but i feel that the T-45 jams are more peaceful than the growler jams.
I noticed as well! Like the difference in a truck and a Towne Car.
Amazing video as always sir, I really enjoy your content!! Fly navy!!
Man you make it look so smooth and easy. A testament to your years of training and dedication. Thanks for sharing these. Fly Navy!

You have the BEST voice imaginable for such videos
He does for real! I’m scared to death of flying but I think if I heard his voice from the cockpit before takeoff I would feel extremely safe!

My son is in VT22 now. These are great videos to see what he sees / will see and to also share with others interested in aviation.
No signature move???? ha! love the Jams! Thank you for your service
Great video as always. I live in Long Beach Ca and several weekends a year the Marines will do similar maneuvers where they line up with the runway and then circle back to land. The best part is I can walk out the front door and the plane is straight overhead with the gear down. Love that sound!

Great video. Amazing how easy you make it look. Being a carrier pilot with Naval Aviator Training behind you is a Great plan!
This has made my day! So therapeutic and yet full of admiration for such professional jet jockey at his work

Glad you enjoyed it!
Meatball...line up...angle of attack. Never gets old, sir!
would love to live in the area only so i could watch you aviators all day !
as always thanks for sharin your service to OUR great country
That's the talk through, I think I'm ready to go out and fly it now 👍 Your narration is great, thanks !
good landing
Excellent timing. Good job. Keep cool 😎
Absolutely the most engrossing videos. Thank you so much for the experience. Wouldn't tell my wife I have a man crush.
🫢
Flew over El Centro once in a UH-1H HUEY while stationed in SO CAL. Nice landing without a pitching and rolling deck. Great training aircraft for the Naval Aviator/Wings of Gold applicants. Narration is "spot on!"
Loving the Goshawk videos and seeing the training of the next generation of naval aviators. My nephew, a recent NROTC grad, is in initial flight training at Pensacola right now. It's comforting to know guys like you Pail are teaching him the way!
Ive been stupified drooling over the Blue Angels every year when they come to my city since I was a child. Nothing has changed, I run to the window or outside for every pass, breaking my neck to see them until out of site...every day the whole week they fly. You are definitely providing the closest thing I will ever get/feel/see to being in the cockpit, and understanding the job. 👊
soft spoken, gentle control inputs, looking so easy, ... great professional flying made approachable with a good soothing voice. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Did many a det to El Centro (El Sweato) when turning wrenches on the F-14s. Great memories.
Thank you for your service!
I'm so glad that you are doing CCs!! 💜💜🩷🩷🌟💯💯😊Thañk you, I appreciated 💞💞
Thanks!
Thank you!
Love going out to El Centro in February for part of the blues winter training. Thanks for posting.

I like your step by step explanation of what's going on. Thanks for an excellent video!
Yesss, finally the T-45 jams!👏 I really loved this one, flying and smoothly landing with you was really cool😁👍! Off topic: I like the painted pail on your helmet😉...you wear your call sign with pride.

Hi Pail. Retired AF ATC E-9 here. Always enjoy your vids & subbed today. The narrated ones are really good, especially for non-aviation types.
Thanks!
I so wish when I had been younger I would have attempted to enter the RAF as a pilot ! Just so much respect Sir ! Thankyou for taking us up and home !
Love watching this video over and over, love watching all of the videos. Better than television ! Had my EA18 G T shirt arrive today, It's great. "Fly Navy"

Also quick question, Were you ever a part of Civil Air Patrol, Just curious as I am a cadet.
I never did that. Looks like a lot of fun, though.
Ironclaw! Love the helmet tape. I was in VAQ-136 from 94’ to 98’
Love your videos.

There is a meditative quality to your narrations of a very complex, high tempo activity. Bravo Zulu.
Great video, thank you
That was a great visual. Your carrier videos don't do altitude justice. The ground came up quick!
Take care, and happy hunting!

You too!

Thank you 🌞
Nice one! Son of a Navy pilot (1943-1966) who flew just about everything F during those years. I’m enjoying your videos a lot.
Love this jam and the nice thumbnail. The best is to get to sit behind you and listen to your calm and lovely voice. I love it. 💜💜💜
Yup, more Goshawks please! And I'm sure there are probably restrictions, but video from activities earlier in this flight would sure be awesome too!
Great video. Have seen this many times from the ground cool to see it from inside. Little nicer than the 172 I usually fly. I grew up in Yuma and have driven around that region over to San Diego so many times.
Just discovered your channel! It’s amazing! Always had a dream of being a Carrier pilot!! Thanks for the first person perspective!!
Welcome aboard.
Just found your channel and sure glad I did! Been loving the videos. Reminds me of when I was in Kingsville Texas about 5 years ago and spent free time taking photos and video of the T-45's doing touch and go's at the NAS Kingsville. Keep up the great videos.
Welcome aboard!
I love all Jams to be honest. If it flies I’m there! So great seeing the Goshawk again!! Thanks for sharing Pail!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@GrowlerJams ALWAYS!!!!
Amazing vidio! Really good to hear and see it all from the pilots perspective. Very, very smooth sir! Naval aviation at its best!
Thanks for another great vid. Hope you had a good 4th. Fly Navy!
Bro you are like the Bob Ross of military aviation (and I mean that as a compliment). Such a soothing voice lmao
"We're just going to paint a happy little landing here." I'd want you as an instructor 100% of the time hahaha
Very cool! I have been to El Centro a couple of times to do photos. Great airport and love to photograph you guys coming and going! I enjoy your video's a lot!
You sound so super pro, no hesitating at all. Cool! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💋
My dad, a former USAF flier said, "You're only as good as your last landing." Yours are smooth and on the numbers. BZ sir.
Thanks!
Nice approach and landing, loved the narrative all the way down
Glad you enjoyed it!
