- America’s Navy defends on land, at sea and from the air. As a Navy Fighter Pilot, the latter is your domain. Fly at Mach speeds around the globe while completing complex air maneuvers. Catapult off carriers at 170 mph and land on moving runways only 300 feet long. You will gather intel, drop ordnance and conduct defensive missions-all in the most versatile strike fighters on the planet. The F/A-18 Hornet and the cutting-edge F-35C Lightning II. It’s time to take your seat in the cockpit. Find out what it means to Fly Navy at bit.ly/2ytMkEI
Been there, done that! Glad to be called a Naval Aviator with 467 carrier landings in the Corsair II and Hornet. Would have loved to fly the Lightening.
lucky, maybe I might join the Air Force or Navy
I'm having a hard time choosing either the AF or the Navy.
Thomas Ryan, IV Very good Sir I only turned wrenchs on the F4 aboard Forrestal 1966-69 Thomas Gilbert
My father flew the Corsair II and the Hornet. VFA 97 Warhawks off the Carl Vinson
Which A-7 squadron?
"It's just fun for me, every day I go to work."
** night landing on aircraft carrier **
"Why the hell did I sign up for this... ?"
Lol
Wow that's awesome thank you so much for your service
Aaron Seet cool highlights in wasp type operation
Aaron Seet bath iron works I ding by movement
There’s lights it’s not like it’s straight up pitch black lol
Almost done obtaining my bachelors, hope to be there in a few years...anything’s possible
Lexi 98 Do you need a bachelor to be a fighter pilot or can you do it after highschool? Please reply back i need onfo
SkyLine 234 You need a bachelors to be a fighter pilot & the best thing is you can major in anything as long as you have that bachelors degree 🙂
Lexi 98 How do I get a bachelor? I can’t just go there after graduating high school? Thanks fir the reply btw
None Ya Your absolutely right, it’s tough to make it with tons of requirements & challenging, but I think that’s what’s makes me want it more! Would you say the marines are just as hard to compete in?
SkyLine 234 A bachelors takes originally 4 years to complete in a college, but you gotta get commissioned first. There are different routes to do this. Go through the Naval Academy (which I heard is very competitive), go through NROTC at your college, or attend OTS. I’m doing the OTS route. So the last year before graduating with a bachelors start applying yourself. There’s a video on TH-cam where it’s explained much better than I can explain. I’m still learning as I go, I just know the basics but it’s better to talk to someone that’s more knowledgeable & knows the ins & out of everything to becoming a fighter pilot!
Here’s the link to that video, hope it helps!

All my hours of Flight simulator X has been leading up to this moment
Top that off with the eye-catching ACM goodness of Ace Combat and the puzzling mental exercises of the RPG/strategy game Front Mission
My great grandfather was in the French/ Vietnamese Navy during the French colonization. From what I heard from my family, he commanded a dreadnought. He was killed in the Vietnam War. My grandpa was a Captain in the South Vietnamese Army. He fought in the Vietnam War and was shot. My grandpa survived and moved to San Francisco after the war. He passed away on December 30, 2020. In honor of these 2 family members, I will become a Navy Pilot after I get my degree after university.
⚓⚓⚓
Did you get your degree?
@@rohenry9962 not yet.
@@sirethanthegreat4069 I graduated this May. Currently preparing for the ASTB. I should have started the process in the beginning of my senior year because after you submit your packet, it takes 8 months to a year to find out if you got accepted. So start the process and submit your packet your senior year, this way when you graduated, you will have already known if you got accepted and will be able to go to OCS a few months after graduating. I will most likely have to wait a whole year at home before I get to go to OCS. 😟 (If I score high enough on the ASTB) But it is what it is.
F35c looks so sick with the huge wings
NAVAL AVIATION.....UP THERE WITH THE BEST......WHANEVER YOU SEE AN AIRCRAFT FLYING, REMEMBER THE MECHANIC THAT PUT THE AIRCRAFT UPTHERE.....THE FORGOTTEN HERO......The Aviation Mechanic....The Technician....the one that makes it happen......
Angel Marte Hated everything about being an aviation mechanic. Flying is so much better.
you move the focus of this video to something else to prove a point, although, its neither just the pilot or the mechanic that makes this happen. Its everyone that is involved.
No one cares about the mechanics. You don't hear about them nor see them on TV. lmao enlisted fucks. Glad I was officer (got out as a LT)
What about the engineers who designed and invented the aircraft
What about the Nuclear Operators who got the carrier out to sea? None of this would happen without them.
My dream job! I'm in college now for aviation, after graduating I plan on going to OCS and get a pilot slot! I want it so bad! There is no plan B! FlyNavy!
How's you do and I'm 14 and my dream is to be a pilot in the navy any tips and or what college did you go to
@@evansuddreth388 not a naval aviatior yet but I suggest going to a service academy or going to ROTC So you get your officers commison then you can go through aircrew candidate school
Bet!! I just met a navy pilot stationed in belle chase that is going back to Washington and the absolute respect and awe I felt. That requires a disciplined fearless and dedicated human. Thank you universe for every first responder that selflessly defends humanity!!!
HOOYAH💪💪
("Don't wish for it, Work for it!")
The words that motivates me
My nephew finally got accepted into The Elite Navy Academy. He will be going to Rhode Island OCS (officer) which will last for several weeks. He does has his pilot license which is nothing compared to Navy. Then off to Pensacola,FL. This training to become a Fighter pilot in the Navy takes at least 2 years. He had a very great recommendation letter from The late Major General Anthony Potts. He was trajically killed in july 2023 in a airplane crash. My hat goes off To Major General Anthony Potts. As you can see I am very proud of my nephew. His father flew The Apache during The Gulf War. Thanks To Everyone For There Service
I love the US NAVY GOD BLESS YOU ALL! Thank you so much for your service and veterans too.
Hey right now is a PERFECT time to start getting into aviation. The whole world is hurting for pilots, whether that be flying 737s for Delta or Southwest or flying F-16s in the Air Force, F-18s in the Navy.. Really anywhere.. If your still in grade school now is a perfect time to start preparing because the world needs pilots now!
The drop out rate is high to become a fighter pilot cause they have very strict guidelines and rules
@@steve00alt70 yes, but since the air force is hurting for pilots its likely less strict then opposed to the 80s and 70s when there were too many pilots.
Optic500 No the dropout rate is not high for fighters. Many people self eliminate or get medical DQd before they even go through their commissioning source. Once you’re in the pipeline, and you’ve proven yourself able to handle the rigors of piloting an aircraft, the military will train you to a level where you would be set up for success for any follow on training, including fighters, if you’ve made the grades for it. Yes, there are strict guidelines and rules (it’s the military), but it REALLY IS more achievable than you think.
I would love to be a fighter pilot for the marines but the height limit makes it impossible for me I’m 5 foot. Hope they change that by the time I commission
@@Leanne_is_not_okay The airforce recently abolished the minimum height requirement for pilots, so perhaps you should check out the air force as well.
This is so cool. To even be part of the flight crew on the deck would be awesome as hell.
David Wiese no
@@ae5646 why not?
Real life freaking Top Gun!!!
Navy has the best pilots in my book hooyah
*Marines. Best of both worlds👍
Polo P Especially those who flew the F-14 Tom Cat were bad freakin ass ina bad freakin assed fighter jet. In my opinion, the F-14 Tom Cat has always been & will always be the best USMilitary Fighter Jet of all time! They need to bring it back
Don’t know why you two are arguing, they are both Naval Aviators and trained the same.
Marines don't fly off carriers that often. I heard at times they never get to. (talking about F-18 pilots not Harrier)
yoyoyoyoshua “that often”, more like never. they cant land on carriers unless they take the 6-month class on landing and taking off on carriers and catching the cable.
This was my unattainable dream job. Navy Fighter Pilot assigned to VFA-103 Jolly Rogers.
😢
What do you mean? Your dream job was to be assigned to that squadron as a pilot? Or you are a naval aviator with them who thought it would be unattainable?
@@tommy35ss I feel like what he's saying is he thought it was an unachiavable dream job. Now - as a Fighter pilot he can look back and realise he was wrong.
@gcHK47, it's a lot more grueling and a lot more work than films like top gun and commercials like these make it seem. Don't feel bad
Tommy Etheredge I mean that I always wanted to be a Navy fighter pilot, but I couldn’t because I am unqualified intellectually, mentally, and athletically. It means that I am sad for being a 29yr old civilian struggling to make a living at an entry-level job that seems more like enslavement with each shift.
Will Arterberry I know that, but it still has been my childhood dream. It was also what set me apart from the dickheaded peers in my class who all wanted to be in the NBA, MLB, or NFL.
Respect the American power!!!Greetings from Greece!!!!
Just got picked up for pilot, going to OCS in November, Fly Navy!
HOOYAH ✈✈
Good luck brother.
Alreadey have my bachelors degree. I'm taking the ASTB in april and board for OCS in august, I've been reading a lot so I can get a high score.
so did u make it?hope soo
being a fighter pilot in a Navy with an aircraft carrier would be the coolest job on earth
If I were to be a Naval pilot I would have to go 12 weeks of ocs and then be selected if you’re lucky enough to keep continuing flight training.
man i would love to become a navy pilot but i cant get barchelors degree... ill stick with commercial for now
We'd love to have you. Let us know if you have any questions about requirements to join the Navy.
All my life I wanted to military experience even if it was for a few short years. much time as I spend on the ground, I find myself drawn to the sky
I’ve been in the army as an infantryman for two years and I feel like I’ve wasted my life.... time for a change of pace
im actually gonna be a part of the us navy on like 9 years i cant wait to fight for our country!
"So I get to land on the carrier at night now and that'll be fun", first time I've heard fun associated with night ops
Looks so fun! I love to fly. I used to wanna learn how to fly
me too :'( guess i'll just have to stick to dcs though
I take my ASTB test one month from now! The pilot pipeline begins...
Miguel Sandoval Good luck pal! Hope you make it.
Hope you have your college degree or you'll just be watching them take off and land
@@mongo5392 You sound like a negative Nancy. There are many college graduates on TH-cam, just saying. As mentioned, he would not even be taking the ASTB unless he was, the Navy ended their non-commissioned officer-eligible flight warrant officer program last decade, ending enlisted pilots in the Navy once again, meaning there would be no way for him to even take this test.
Good luck, took mine a year ago , 7-9-7 here.
How’d it go?
I was a member of VF-74 the ‘ Bedevilers ‘ from 1976 thru 1980 - We flew the F-4J on the Nimitz and Forrestal - exciting times for a young man! Still hear those twin J79 GE ‘s roaring!
Great footage! Just took the ASTB and I can't wait to go!
I’m 17 and currently a senior, very interested and educated on naval aviation. I’m aware of the physical, medical, and education requirements. I’m just confused on weather I should contact a recruiter or not because obtaining a bachelors degree would take years from now, but I want to make sure I’m eligible physically, and medically to be a pilot in the navy.
You must have a degree to become a Naval Aviator
Before you even contact the recruiter, study your azz off for the ASTB. Once you are fully prepared to pass the ASTB, contact the recruiter at the beginning of your senior year. You can start the process one your before your graduate.
It’s been four years, you should have your degree by now. Are you applying for SNA?
I have 4 questions
1. How high do you have to score on the ASVAB to get this Job?
2. Can you be in flight school with another career in the navy? If you're training/studying for 2 years to be a pilot you must be working on the side, right?
3. How many years do you have to sign to be a Naval Aviator?
4. Will you get deployed a lot being a pilot?
1. No ASVAB is necessary, you must take the ASTB-E
2. No, you are in flight school or you are not. This is your career, you will get paid.
3. 2 years of training, possibly more, 8 years of AD service, so 10 thereabout.
4. Yes will you get deployed a lot, some more than others.
I recommend going www.airwarriors.com and reading some of their stuff before posting away. Promise me.
Caught that Marine legacy hornet from VMFA-312 at 0:40. Last east coast Marine boat squadron.
Fun fact too that the Marines will be flying both the F-35C mentioned in this video and the even more intriguing F-35B STOVL jet.
Was a member of VF-74 onboard the Nimitz in 1976 - our sister squadron then was VMF-333 out of Cherry Point - a great bunch of guys !
About to graduate high school next year. Trying to go to the academy hopefully in a few years I’ll be there too.
Kev The Man Four years at the academy and 2+ years of flight school.
Should the academy turn out not for you, don't be afraid to look into other universities that might offer NROTC scholarships. Those, and the OCS program after you choose to bullet through college as a civilian
I’m deciding whether I should join the AF or Navy.....
Ready to pull G’s
Air Force all the way dude
@@awesomerikd168 nah
@@awesomerikd168 US NAVY they are called aviators for something they are the best of the best.
HOOYAH!!
@@americasnavy hello I want to become a navy pilot that’s my only dream can you give me some tips?
Worthy. Saw the Blue Angels today SF Fleet Week!
The best pilots of the world..absolutely.!!
As an eighth grader, I definitely mainly focus on going into the navy after high school then going to college.
Me too but as a freshman in hs. I’m lucky enough to be in my schools gifted program so I get to figure out my schedule and figure out the requirements to become a navy pilot early on. Work hard and keep going. I hope to see you there.
I’m considering to become a fighter pilot after my 4 years contract as a God Send Mechanic (GSM). I’m not too sure if I have what it takes to be one though.
Been there done that. ABE onboard USS George Washington 2000-2002
*This would be a dream*
*pleasant to my nearing*
*future. A great honor.*
My deep respects to Navy pilots
Yall should make a video like this of AW. That would be awesome!
Don't forget, the second largest airforce in the world behind the USAF!
Imagine the Navy having more aircraft than all branches combined
Top Gun ! I love US naval air forces
I can't get over how long the wings are in the Navy variant of the f35
Got a call from my officer programs recruiter a couple of days ago. Picked up for pilot. Due to ship out 2 or 3 months from now to OCS. Can't wait!
You commission yet?
A Z Well, after doing further soul searching, I decided that continuing a military career with the Navy isn’t for me.
I haven’t given up, though, as I’m now looking into the Air Force and Army for commissioning and flight
You wasted a golden opportunity. If you can't make it through Navy OCS then I doubt you'll make it through Army OCS or Air Force OTS.
A Z I understand your concern.
However, there were also a number of fellow “Dropouts” that I met when I was at OTCN who share my exact sentiments (i.e. I wasn’t the only one who took a deep look from within).
With the Navy’s leadership falling apart (especially with the firing of Captain Crozier and the subsequent resignation of “SECNAV” Modley), I was left with a rather unpleasant taste in my mouth.
@@reijiminato8762 you should have been a navy pilot. flying over the beautiful blue ocean and skies seems better than flying over an ied ridden desert with sand in the army.
F-35C is my Fav Version of Lightning-2.
& on the side note: F/A-18F is the most beautiful looking jet ever made period!
Hornet is my favorite plane
Not sure if this is the best place to ask but I’m an 11th grade student who is aspiring to be a pilot. I’m not sure whether or not to join the Air Force or Navy. I’ve read that the Air Force has more pilot opportunities compared to the Navy when it comes to becoming a pilot. And what are the chances of being assigned to a helicopter in the Navy? I’m having difficulty deciding whether to attend USAFA or USNA (if accepted) or deciding between NROTC and AFROTC (if accepted to both).
Kev The Man I’m in Navy flight school now and we have been told that our chances of getting helos is about 50%. I was a prior SSgt in the AF and there are pro’s and con’s to both branches. Keep grinding away at school and you should be flying in no time. Feel free to message me with any questions.
467 carrier landings? I’ve never heard of that
I can't do math. Will i die in a jet for my ignorance in math??
FaLaLaMedia idk
Lol no, I'm a Student Naval Aviator and I've never taken any math class more advanced than pre-calculus. A lot of my colleagues are non-STEM majors as well.
@@eunee12 were you a usafa or usna grad, because I want to be a military pilot but Im going to do rotc in either air force or navy with a non-stem major aswell, i know they prefer stem majors, what are my chances
@@eunee12 were you a usafa or usna grad, because I want to be a military pilot but Im going to do rotc in either air force or navy with a non-stem major aswell, i know they prefer stem majors, what are my chances
That sir is badass.
Oh yeah!
Would love to fly the F-35C ( A & B are fine for me too )
Whats the likelihood of even getting selected for a fixed wing jet? This is what I want to do once im finished with my chemical engineering degree. Hopefully the navy gets more f35s by then.
Complete respect! You guys are totally bada$$! Nothing else needs to be said!
Long Live the Navy..
I like to be a Navy pilot when I grow up because I’m still eight
I'm 14
Can anyone tell me where they got the thumbnail need the pic
Unfortunately the only fighter aircraft I ever wanna fly first is the F6F-3 HellCat
For me it is the F-14 Tomcat...maybe the Navy will bring them out of retirement.
Yessss brrooo
Why not the F6F-5 :p
I’d rather fly a Wildcat. It’s smaller
This has been my dream since I was 12. I want to go to a college where I can get good experience before joining the navy.
Satalite message... jhon how are you...
Top gun
I want to pilot F/AE Super Hornet someday.
Is it realistic trying to become a pilot or NFO in the navy or af with a bachelors from a regular university? or are 95% of aviators academy graduates?
I'm in flight school now, it's about 40 percent each for Academy and ROTC and like 20 percent OCS. You have a realistic shot
Thanks man! What would be a good degree to get?
The Navy prefers "technical degrees" so things like engineering and science. When applying for OCS that may be a big factor in whether you're selected for the flight program. For ROTC, a technical degree makes it easier to pick up a scholarship but is only 5-10% of the selection criteria for flight school. I recommend looking up the NROTC academic major tiers to see what majors are preferred. Personally, I had an Aerospace engineering degree but there are also political science and history majors in flight school with me.
Very much so, my BA was history, i went to AOCS, became an EA-6b ecmo
I was in VAQ 137 as an AD/jet mech on the Prowler.
I'm 12 but I'm starting to fly in old ww2 diver bombers. In the back of course but I am soon gonna learn to fly a cessna
Now that’s what I wanna do when I join up
one day i want to be in the navy and fly the f-35 its so cool
My dream is to become a navy pilot, I have looked through the physical requirements and think i would excel at them considering i am a very physically inclined person. I play a high level of hockey and have very fast reflexes, and i have over 20/20 vision. I do good in school aswell. Overall i believe that i would make a great pilot. There is one thing holding me back and unfortunately that one thing is going to completely destroy my dream. I am colorblind. I am unable to become a navy pilot. I don’t even know what to say honestly. I don’t fully understand why they don’t allow people that are colorblind fly. Will they change this in the future? I hope so😞
Doubt it. You need to be able to distinguish the color of lights. Especially at night. What if you’re lost comms and tower is trying to communicate with you via light gun signals. Position lights on the aircraft, Airport beacon signal colors, approach slope indicator colors, chart symbols, the list goes on. There’s a reason why color vision is important, for your safety and the safety of others. Sorry, it probably will never be changed
Choro todos os dias de vontade de conhecer um porta aviões deste.
BEST AVIATORS IN THE WORLD.
Better than shitty Air Force!
Airforce is the hardest to drive because there's many controls like firing dropping bomb and strategic moves
Yeah they do that in the Navy as well
Just took the picat hoping for a good score so I can do this
Is it the C-Model, that has the bigger wings?
Yes, USS Saratoga (CV-60). CAG-17.
I am 14 and want to be a Fighter Pilot what doe it take to be one Plz help me
Get good grades, stay focused. Work hard. If you believe that this is the calling god has on your life, go for it bro, don't let anyone tell you, you can't

Wish I could have been a pilot.

Would you go to the navy or air force academy
I leave may first for bootcamp and i will be a abe in the navy
This is the exact thing I’m trying to to or be a navy seal
My paternal grandfather was a naval aviator during ww2
I just want a family but also want to fly fighters. Anyone got some tips?
air force
This is what I really want to do, but I am colorblind :(
This is probably the biggest honor to be in the sky everyone this is kind of a big honor for all of us but we're going to make the greatest history of all of our🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
1:40 if that cable snapped
is it possible to become a naval aviator without a us citizenship? im german but id love to become one
The death angel
Im 11 and i want to become a fighter pilot.
Good luck i hope it happens for you
i see myself on that deck 10 years later
From 580 mph to 0 that's way cool
Wish you could be a pilot from enlisted
I thought you could. You can do NFO for sure.
You can. Drop your OCS package for 1390
Go warrant officer in the Army.
grizzly33 NFO is still a commissioned officer!
You can. You just have to put in a packet. All US services offer an Enlistment to Officer program.
Don't you need 20/20 vision without correction to qualify?
James Allen probably not because in the Air Force you don’t
Nope. Not at all. The only thing they care about is if you’re correctable to 20/20. I’ve checked AirForce / Navy guidelines and waivers online. And even if you’re not correctable to 20/20 there’s waivers available.
Navy requires uncorrected vision for flight crew to be 20/40 or better
❣American Navy🇺🇸❣
Ughhh this is what I want to do I can't wait!
⚓⚓⚓
That’s what I want to do in the Navy
Would like to join but it's unfortunate you need to get the covid vaccine prior to joining
What bothers me the most is that i dreamt of becoming a fighter jet pilot since childhood, BUT our country doesn't have any fighter jets and because of that i can only dream of becoming a pilot of military aircraft
What makes you think that
Your listening to the wrong voices
Oh boy i would've loved to do that but i got my thyroid removed and I'm on long term meds
Make them tell you no! If you want to do it make them force you to not.
So you can still do this.
