Aircraft Carrier Flight Deck • Controlled Chaos

- The flight deck of an aircraft carrier during flight operations is one of the most dangerous places on earth. And even though it might look like total chaos, it's really a finely tuned and highly organized action. Everybody has a job to do.
The aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) conducts flight operations while deployed in the Mediterranean Sea.

I was a "White-shirt" (AE final checker-flight deck troubleshooter) on this ship (USS ENTERPRISE) during the Vietnam era. It was an Honor to represent the VA-97 Aircraft Electricians Shop as an African American on the Flight Deck of this ship. I even took a 'Cat Shot" on the C.O.D. ! I am grateful to be able to share that with you today.
j leander tucker thanks, good comment.
j leander tucker Thank you for your service sir. :)
sixtyeight Whiskey thank you for your support @(*o*)@
tripleheshy Thank you so much. To you as well.
I'm with vfa-97 now. taking care of the Stennis. thanks for everything!
I was a shooter on the USS Midway for 2 1/2 yrs during the 80’s. The yellow shirt crew I worked with was the hardest working group of people I’ve ever seen. I loved every one of them.
Great comment. Yellow loves Shooters too.
Best ship ever to serve !
Amen!
This brought back a lot of memories. I served on the "Big E" for two West Pac's from 82 -85 with VA-95 "A-6 Green Lizard's". She had just come out of a three year reno in Seattle and was beautiful! This was the best and hardest time of my life. We went out for 9 months at a time and worked 12 hour days! But I saw some of the prettiest places in the world. I have great memories and will always remember the great people that I worked with and how much I grew as a person because of it. God bless the Navy!!
Dave Sewell, I rigged your chutes at AIMD Whidbey from 85-90
Duke to go any place
Hey is it you making me crazy all the time!!! Lol Cody and Aaron come home
😇😇😇
🎉❤❤❤
I have so much admiration for our military. I'm partial to the Navy because of my background. Our Carriers and our Submarines are often (I'm making an informed guess) places of zero tolerance for errors. Completely unforgiving workplace.
Magnificent video. I was on board CVN 65. PLANE Captain Supervisor and flight deck coordinator. Tears are my companions watching this flight deck ops. I will die thinking this moments working with my dear brothers. God Bless America. ADCS Cabacungan. VF- 21 AND VF - 213.
Thank you for not adding insanely loud doper music to this!
I was in the Army for 20 years and 10 of those years I was on jump status. I've watched you guys and girls on the flight deck of a carrier and its amazing how much hand and signal's you have. My brother served in the Navy he worked down in the engine room area. He told me that to work on the flight deck you had to have a certain kind of MOS. I've never seen a aircraft carrier. I hope that one day I can get to go on a aircraft carrier. GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU AND I WILL KEEP EVERY ONE OF YOU IN MY PRAYERS.
There's always something about seeing that helmet, oxygen mask, and dark visor staring out the cockpit that gets to me.

Gung Ho Vids Lol.
With due respect they look like aliens it's scary!! They do a great job.
25 years active now retired AVCM (AW/SW). Never tire of this
Really good video. No music... no crap... Just flight deck flight ops! I like it!
Love that hummer turning in the background
Turn the volume up. There plenty of music...

Stick them on a giant metal island a thousand miles from land.
For real though, awesome stuff.

The best flight deck video I've seen. Former F4 plane captain.
What is the process to brcoming a plane captain? Thank you for your service.
best time I ever had with my clothes on back seater in F4's
Much Respect Brother 🇺🇸
@@waterhead001 New guys in squadrons are usually assigned to the Line Division. Once you learn how to ride brakes, ensure aircraft cleanliness and security, and how to assist pilot with aircraft start and shut down, you will be a plane captain.
Fly 2 director, CVA42 1973. Time of my life ! We did not know how dangerous our job could be. I was having SO much fun.
Hadn't seen this video in a while but I must admit it captures what goes on on the flight deck pretty well.
Hook and hold back (green shirt) USS America Tonkin Gulf 1968. Glad to have been part of the "Controlled Chaos" . I must admit for years later the smell of Jet fuel used to bring it all back!!
For 51 years this Enterprise was the pride of the US Navy. I saw her several times 1972-1976 while I was assigned to the USS Ranger CV-61. I wished I was assigned to the Enterprise once or twice. But you grow to love the ship you are assigned to.
I was assigned to the Big E during June 77/May 78. I was on her when one of our F14'S ( I believe it was) accidentally bombed the USS Cree instead of its target ship. And wasn't the Ranger a training carrier for the fleet?
The beautiful dance of the carrier flight deck.
Much respect. I sat in an air-conditioned shop in IM3 turning gear while these guys humped 18 hours a day and lived on sliders. Beer will always be on me. 07.
Those pilots could not get off that deck without the flight deck crew!
The US Navy: on station 24/7. I remember sitting in the pilots seat of a Willy Fudd as a 12 year old. It was a friend of my dad on the USS Forrestal who invited us aboard. It was scary looking down the flight deck and thinking how short it was for launch. The Big E! Our greatest ship! A gallant history.
We are the greatest fighting force for freedom. I’m so proud of our men and women who watch over us. Thank you
Amazing upload. To be able to hear the sweet melody of powerful engines without the usual moronic music overlay is a treat indeed.
The flight deck of an aircraft carrier during flight operations is one of the most dangerous places on earth. And even though it might look like total chaos, it's really a finely tuned and highly organized action. Everybody has a job to do.
+Gung Ho Vids agreed.
+Gung Ho Vids When those Hornets started taxing, I realized that they actually do sound like angry hornets
Yep! Like a fine tuned symphony. Agree, 1 of the most dangerous jobs on earth.
That's the props from an E-2C Hawkeye you're hearing. But it does sound like a swarm of pissed off hornets.
I was an AE Flight Deck Troubleshooter for an A6 Squadron during the Vietnam nastyness. The time I spent on the deck was exciting and surely helped with maturity. You have the lives of men in your hands with every move and they the same. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Thanks USN......you sailors are always on the front line, stay safe.
Lots of respect to the US navy from egypt
Former ABF onboard the USS John C. Stenis. I will never forget my time there. I had the best job, saw amazing places and made lifetime friends from buds all around the country.. I wouldn't change it for the world.

This is truly awsome...and beats the shit out of ANY Hollywood movie! Thank you for your service, our men and women in uniform!
God bless all you Patriots who keep our country safe
Love ya'll
Not chaos at all. A well trained ballet. Love it.
Every one of these young men work so hard. They are just so awesome. Every single colored shirt.
No cheesy music! Love this!
All of guys do a very professional job day after day and YOU are very appreciative and we support you always, from Frank in Florida
Awesome vid. The best part is that no one is talking. You can just feel it and be there.
03:10 Shooter & his pal about to start the "single ladies" coreography. The're in the "put a ring on it" part.
Well done!! Love the real sounds, which gives a great feel of being there.
I was there RM3 June 77,78. USS Enterprise. I got pictures of the planes landing and taking off the flight deck. That was some memories too.
Like a well choreographed ballet, with out tights, LOL. Truly amazing to watch, thanks for posting! 5:18, beautiful confidence, reminds me of Amelia Earhart.
I'm pretty sure the Biden administration is working towards the tights. 😢
Amazing takeoff video! The most powerful aircraft carrier in the world.
I dont know how any person that has done this can ever work in a "regular" job again!!! So stressful and exciting at the same time!! Most other jobs would be boring....
haha. honestly it isn't easy at first, as you miss the adrenaline and noise and smell and the goddam thunder with every launch! I still feel a pang of loss when I watch these vids, partly because I miss the comraderie and the pride, but also because I am old now, and this is just a memory. So few will ever ge this awesome experience. I got lucky.
There is only one work environment more dangerous than a carrier flight deck. That’s a carrier flight deck at night.
awesome , I could watch this stuff all day !
Very cool. I love the sounds of the jets taking off and just taxiing to the catapult
Fascinating! Love our military!🇺🇸
Thanks for what you do everyday.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video, thank you
beautiful!!! many of landing and take of thank you
I was on her mid 70's Purple Shirt. Did a lot of growing up back then. Fantastic video .
Such precision & perfection!
Hi.Gung Ho Vids, thank you your video clip.
Great video. Thanks!
I did two tours in the S. China sea aboard the Bon Homme Richard (Bonnie Dick) 66-67. Grape. V4 fuels checker. (QC). Took relieving carrier onto the Hancock in Sasabo Japan in 68 two for tours back to back. Loved every minute of the hustle and bustle of the flight deck.
Great vid. Nicely edited and great to hear the original sound rather than cliche music!
Lots of memories, some good, some very bad. USS ENTERPRISE, CVAN 65. V-1 Division Fly 3 yellow shirt . 1965 to late 1969. 7:24
I’m truly grateful for the talent and skill of our armed forces...... your the BEST!
epic...love these videos...thanks.
good video, my oldest brother was on the Hornet in Vietnam once told me ,that you don't know what scary is until you night trap in bad weather, you get religion real quick ,can't even imagine that watching these
+Gung Ho Vids Ah, excuse my last comment I was assuming he was talking about the most used aircraft in the U.S Navy. I was not aware that he was talking about the USS Hornet so to speak. However despite what you may think this does not make me a dumbass simply a misunderstanding.
Robert Hodge OK
Read the comment! I said .y brother was on the Hornet, as in USS Hornet, it's a big ship, planes land on it, and yes the Hornet was in the Vietnam war
+last man standing I am not sure why you are bringing this up again, I apologised and realised my mistake. In all honesty I had no idea there was an aircraft carrier named the USS Hornet so I assumed you were talking about the aircraft. Once again I apologise for the misunderstanding.
Super Good Representation of Life on Aircraft Carrier
Outstanding video! Get yah a case of beer!!!
Fantastic footage! An no annoying music! Yes!!
Great video. I applaud the guys who work these flight decks. Dangerous job and they are great at what they do. That’s coming from a ground pounder 69-71. Kudos guys👍ps: maybe in one video they can explain what the differences are in color vests, jobs etc
Yellow moves aircraft. Blue assists yellow. Green does maintenance, either on aircraft or catapults and arresting gear. Purple fuels aircraft. Red is crash crew or ordinance loading. Brown cleans and secures aircraft and assists pilots. White is safety, medical or troubleshooting.
Oh my Lord, I' ve been to a carrier and that's what keeps my blood pumping! Cheers to all on the boat,
Brilliant !!!
Spent my share of time on the flight deck of the USS Ranger ( CVA-61 ) form 1959 to 1961. Ship was smaller, planes were less high tech but it was the same as now.
Thank you for your service Mr Bell. All 9 of the Cold War Carriers were 1000ft+ with the noticeable difference of the Enterprise being over 1100ft. The were all behomoths. Sadly all decom'd. Forestall, Saratoga, Ranger, Independence, Constellation, are scrapped---America sunk as a test target---Kitty Hawk laid up in Bremerton---Kennedy laid up in Philadelphia & Enterprise is being dismantled in Newport News.

My son and my husband both served on the Big E! My husband was a yellow shirt. CVN65 🇺🇸
I would very much love to serve onboard one of these carriers working on deck, looks exciting! My grandfather served on the Enterprise during the 1970s and did this stuff!
It's exciting for about the first 6 days trust me.😊
@@DaveL188 I had a friend on the Eisenhower as a red shirt, and he told me it was no fun.
When was you grandfather on th e Enterprise, I was on it June77 / May 78, If it was the same time period I might of known him.
@@josephwonderless1258 135 launch and recovery a day starting at 0700 ending at 2200 then maintenance all night it gets old fast, but when you work up there everything else seem boring.
Days of days... it was some hard ass work up there but I miss it.
Fantastic video!!! Bye from Italy 🇮🇹
I will never, ever look as cool as a shooter doing one of those poses and sending an fighter into the sky.
Love the green jacket ballet guy,,well done hands coordination
5:19 that smile. 😍😍😍😍
I miss it.....I've been retired for almost the time I was in....20 years......time flies when you having fun..
My older brother was on Aircraft Carrier in Vietnam I was 10yrs old he was 18 when he went in the Navy
Just Awesome as always missed my calling Thank you all ❤️ for being you
Was on two carriers - Midway & JFK - loved watching flight ops!
Participated in a few FOD walk downs too!
2:49, "this is fun a f&@k" I can only imagine. LOL
perfect fighter video..
Pros....awesome to watch.
why do i have the urge to watch top gun now for the 8,234 th time ?
+Kerry Ward Because you have the need for speed.
TRUE, VERY TRUE ! the struggle is real ! lol
Kerry Ward i hear you mate! I'm the same😂
They should have Metallica pumping really loud for this kind of filming. Heavy metel for heavy metal
Coz your a wanker,try a flat spin+crash landing "Anlandugen Sie GehenVeg Von lst Gute Landun" gfy
Tears cant stop em!! God this is beautiful
This is my favourite video of all.
Dang, I love this stuff!
Very Good...Thanks.

1970 Oriskany, EKA 3-B cat troubleshooter. Following my plane from the fantail to the catapult during Vietnam War was the most exciting time of my life!
Salute to you!
Marvelous.
The USS ENTERPRISE. So wonderful to see her...
CVW-1! The first airwing I deployed with in 1969 with VA-81 flying A-4C's embarked in USS JF Kennedy, CV-67 on her maiden cruise. We were awarded the AirLant 'E' under the command of Cdr. JJ Lahr. Upon return to NAS Cecil Field we began the transition to the (then) brand new A-7E Corsair II.
You're really great! You are the cutest people!
Salute to you!
Much respect
i love the sound of the engin!!!
Its hard to fathom how a vessel can stay afloat with alllll that weight on board. Watching this was fascinating!!
The term is displacement of water.
I was a Tractor Driver ( Blue Coat) On HMS Ark Royal Fixed Wing Carrier in the 70s
Did you stay long enough to see the Falklands War?
How cool is that? I got to go on this ship back in probably early 70. I dated a sailor that was stationed in Virginia Beach. Thomas A Siegfried. Would love to track him down. His job on it was catching the planes when they came in. Thanks for the memories!
Thomas weighs about 320 now, he sells sunglasses on the boardwalk in Venice beach, is covered with amateur tattoos, is on parole and has new charges pending, and his boyfriend is half his age. You wouldn't recognize him, so better leave him in your memory the way he was.
Much respect, guys and gals
I love to watch the choreography if these brave flight deck folks, USARMY 10-68/10-70
I’m diggin’ the shit outta this video! I LOVE IT!
The flight deck is no place to joke around if you do you won't be around.
I cant help but think about top gun through this
its great!!!
Hi was this part of the handover of Commanders from, Cdr Mccall to Cdr Bixby? great video thank you for the share.
