You should see high tempo helicopter ops in the Army. Nothing like all those rotor blades spinning over head to make you a foot shorter if you're not careful to keep your head on a swivel and do everything safely. Fly Army.
Any time I see someone operating a fighter, I think "god, what a job. I'd love to be able to do that". So cool and even better that you're allowed to release this content!
Never realize how much is really going on till you watch growler jams! So many things happening in the background. This is TEAM on a whole new level. Proud of our guys and girls. Brother just got off the Uss boxer I believe. Matousek not sure what rank but so proud of him! Go navy!!!
Giving us an inside view of what naval aviators do every day around the world is truly a privilege. Thank you Pail for making these videos and so happy to see your channel growing at such a great pace! Bravo Zulu!
Every time I watch your videos, I learn something new. Thank You for your service. I’m retired Navy Corpsman ‘64-‘84. Served with the Marines and NSW. GO NAVY, FLY NAVY!
I learned to fly 50 years ago and my Flying Instructor was ex WW2 Fleet Air Arm Royal Navy pilot. I’ve always had the highest regard for pilots who fly off boats and your videos are super cool. Thank you.
This is my favorite aviation channel. The information given is great, and presented in such a fun, irreverent and non-condescending way to us civilians. Thanks so much, Pail.
this has to be the coolest and sickets most awsome person i have ever seen on youtube. The calm voice the camera angle the weather. Everything just perfect!!!!! 100% worth a subscribe great vid dude!
The dance on the deck is just as amazing as the pilots. Thank you to everyone involved. Love the amount of content lately; as soon as I see a new Growler Jams video I have to watch every second of it.. Thank you
My grandfather, the man who raised me, was a Navy man of 23 years. He was AO (Aviation ordinance) and had some wicked stories to tell, especially since he served in the Vietnam era. Growing up in Norfolk, VA, we were always around the military in some way. It never ceases to amaze me to this day, just how well they communicate and how hard these men and women work, day in, day out. Thank you for your service, and thank you for sharing content with us civvies that let us see the other side!
I will say Pail's comments are absolutely the best out there for explaining carrier operations. Clear and concise for us out here. I'm sure these were approved by the Navy and hopefully not giving any information to the bad guys. Keep em' coming!
Memories of taking one off Midway CVA-41 in a C-1A in 1972 and feeling it settle just off the bow. Never forget that feeling! Thanks for your service sir. Good stuff! PR2 1971-75
I never get tired of seeing my tax dollars hard at work launching the best pilots in the world off of the most bad ass aircraft carriers on the planet. FLY NAVY! 🤙
You're the cream of the crop, Pail. Do you ever lose the butterfly feeling before launching? Cause I don't when watching you !! Awesome video. #FlyNavy🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
Excellent! the whole gig is impressive but the rather smallish holdback bar is an amazing piece of engineering. Signature Move and Sit up like a big boy - great sayings 👍
This is the absolute best description of the carrier deck that I have seen. The other videos on TH-cam advertise big and fail to deliver. You put the information out there pure and simple! Thank you!
Love the way you explain the operations on the flight deck. I am a former Marine, A6A squadron in Viet Nam stationed at DaNang. You have the best aviation channel going so keep up the good, informative videos.
My Dad was on the design team for the JBDs at NAVAIR ENG, Phila. Also tension bars, hook points, shuttles, cats, wires, anything related to launch and arrest. I loved hearing him talk about all the engineering fine points over dinner. FLY NAVY!
I am retired army. But I am always amazed how great the US pilots are from the US. Thank all of you men and women that sir. Regardless of what part of the military your in we are all brothers and sisters. God bless you all.
😛 My closed eyes found my toes with... Oh, that very sweet feeling inside of me and the laughs 😂 No wonder I loved your channel right away after watching two-three jams. And it isn't a passing feeling. I still love watching your jams in the same way. 💜 I can already remember the jams quite well, but still... I wanna watch them again and again, like my favorite movies. TY. 💋😊💗
I love now and always have the opera of the flight deck. I was an OS on Kitty Hawk cv-63 and there for four years. I loved being an AIC and a strike controller, But pilots and NFO's were highly respected.
My brother in law flew Helo’s off from US Naval Air Craft Carriers in the Gulf War and the Iraq conflict. He was a Lieutenant JG in the Navy and when a pilot would go overboard, the helicopter would effect a search and deploy divers to make a rescue. He also was in charge of a unit that deployed “Soni-bouys” that were used to detect Soviet Submarines. I really admire the work of these Pilots and Support Staff in keeping the Navy ship shape.
Sleeves on the flight suit rolled up for a flight on a nice clear day.... going with the sins out guns out. Plus a couple of signature moves to impress the flight deck crew with your guns. 😂 The flight deck in action is great to watch. It was great to actually see it in person. The night time flight deck is a whole new level of intensity. Love the videos
Just as our cries to Nam was winding down I went on a hope in one of the squadrons A3’s reconfigured for inflight refueling! It gave me stories that I still tell 56 years latter! Just launch and fly circles waiting for someone wants a drink of JP5! Then land back on the carrier and I was a class four swimmer afraid I would drown!
Man, I was doing something important the other day that had me frustrated beyond belief, and your voice came into my head, "Wiggle your fingers and toes," and just like that, the issue was sorted out and fixed. Thanks for the great videos!
Love the videos!!! Can't get enough of the TR and the flight deck ops. I've done 2 shots and 2 traps, 1 as enlisted, 1 as a civilian. AWESOME feeling!!!
Te running commentary is really informative. Especially regarding the deck crew. Everything is structured to the last movement. This time I learned the Director cannot move and direct at the same time. It makes perfect sense.
Another solid upload Pail, much appreciated... I can listen to these all day long, something about the tone, amazing insight and sense of humour/personality that does it for me. Fly Navy. Cheers mate.
Thank you Pail for everything that you do and these videos. It was my dream to be in the Navy since I was little. Made it through boot till 1 week from graduation, got hurt pretty bad and sent home. Was going to be a MA if I would've made it. Miss seeing the F14s, as they were my fav jet. Stay safe and Fly Navy!😎
Brother, you do have a very soothing voice. You remind me a lot of my own brother, only he's a bass and you're a tenor. My brother's men loved him, and they would follow him anywhere, because he did not take advantage of his officer's position, he relied on his Chief and he was fair with his men. If they had questions or concerns, they knew they could come right to him, and he would explain things without talking down to them or getting snippy. He retired a LCDR. I'll bet you're a top notch instructor, just like my brother. My brother Joe has always been able to explain things to me on my level without being condescending. I bet you can do that, too. Fly Navy, brother!
I would buy you several, living my dream you are, since I was 8, Thank you for what you all as a team do, proud to be American. ( If you hear me coming, it's probably too late ,hehe .)❤
Awesome point of view. Kudos to US Navy for holding the security in the region. Before 1979 hellish riots, Imperial Iranian Navy was securing the region from Persian Gulf all the way to Indian ocean under the cover of IIAF F-4E's from Bushehr & Bandar AFB. Wish those peaceful days comeback, and God save us from the current fanatics regime! Fly Navy! in Imperial Iran,
I would like to thank the blast deflectors for their work in sending the jet blast and noise away from the flight deck and up to my work station on the signal bridge!! They did an excellent job in causing my severe hearing loss and tinnitus, job well done blast deflectors job well done. I only hope that in the 50 year period since my time in the navy that all crew members are given the best noise reduction equipment known to man!!!
👏👏…all of the JBD operators and Flight Deck crew are appreciative of your “kind” words. And because of this, the rest of the crew wouldn’t be blown overboard. And I’ll go ahead and speak for the rest of every JBD Operator and every crew member by saying “Fuck You”. Anybody and everybody that has worked around Aircraft during their enlistment, has been fighting the VA to claim either “Hearing loss or Tinnitus”. You’re not the only one Chuck.
Seen many a cat shots from that deck back in 98 after our wing transitioned from the Kennedy. Of course back then they were flying the AE-6. Nice view from the inside.
That was unreal and really exciting looking I’ve always wanted to do and be a Naval aviator. I applaud your dedication and commitment to excellence and thanks for sharing your experience with us.💯💯💯
Thank you for another great video! Those flight deck operations when looked at from the outside appears to be chaos but is quite well controlled. Lots going on! Thank you for what you do! Fly Navy!

Love the ‘Double Signature Move’ I’ve not seen it in the air as yet. Maybe now you are training with another pilot in the front you can practise it for when you get back into the “G”
I'd love to buy you a beer man. But I'm in the UK. 😮😮😮 Love your vids. I flew the Jet Provost mk 4 ,and 5 trainers in ths RAF in the 70's. Long time ago. Went from the UK to RAF Wildenwrath in Germany during the cold war. This was the last days of the Harrier VTOL. Great machines. We always had the V bombers there of course. We had two in the compound called "Q". We were on s 4 minute standby.....24 hours a day. All togged up ready to go. Those were the days. Wildenwrath doesn't exist anymore but I still have good memories of those days. Thanks for all you vids. They are great.😅😅😅😅

I am amazed how people operate in close proximity of the jet. A big salute for the ground crew!
What you should keep in mind is that these are young folks. Scatterbrains, right? But they're not! They're so totally competent!
You should see high tempo helicopter ops in the Army. Nothing like all those rotor blades spinning over head to make you a foot shorter if you're not careful to keep your head on a swivel and do everything safely. Fly Army.

I wonder how any of our advisories can ever assemble a team of professionals like the US has on the flight deck of a carrier. So much teamwork.
