I grew up watching this video on repeat as motivation to keep working hard. Years later I'm lucky enough to fly the F-18 myself. Thanks for this man.
Well done!.. we used to get RAAF F-18 planes here in NZ👍🇳🇿
Being diagnosed as a diabetic at age 14 pretty much destroyed my dreams to be a pilot in the military, so it's always a thrill to see video from people in the service. Thanks for sharing your experiences with the rest of us!
As a previous member of the VFA-15 Valion maintainers, This video ROCKS! Its very inspiring, especially if your a maintainer. Seeing this video just made me miss the Valions "tear" lol.
im 16 and i plan on enlisting to hopefully be a pilot and with any luck fly f-18s this video is great inspiration to me to keep on a good path and to go along with it
thank you for you service as well as for giving me inspiration
WOW! Totally awesome! That lake at 2:50 reminds me of a time I was at a retreat in the Wenatchee National Forest in Washington... looked up just as I heard a roar coming through the valley to see a gorgeous Hornet banking about 200 feet over the water... come and gone in a blink... totally awesome!
God willing, someday I will be you. This kind of flying is indescribable.
That POV was awesome! Thanks Boss!
Man, he just flicks that thing like it's a race car. There's gotta be some crazy skill involved in that.
This is Valion Pride Knowing him making you a Valient Warrior Go Valions Go Valion Pride Amen.
Fantastic ridealong ..thanks for filming.. not a bad office to work in...
It always amazes me...My dream was always to get one chance. But I'm stuck on Boeings and Airbuses. This is the closest I get. Thank you
my grandfather was admiral Steven Alen Kunkle i was just going through some of his old stuff (i had his helmets old torso harness an his bomber jacket/ it all fits me) (hes still kickin) but i was lookin at some of the patches and callsigns he was vfa 15 during desert storm he also went to top gun (yes i grew up thinking it was a movie about him) im 18 now we dont talk much ive never really heard stories but this is super cool to see
My dad was in this squadron from 1988 - 1990
beautiful shots!
5 Stars. Awesome video especially since I grew up in the northwest and was stationed at NAS Whidbey for 11 years.. I prefer the sound of the jet as opposed to music but it was a good choice of music at least.
Looks and sounds like the Valions from my era.
Thank You, I like it very much
What an incredible ride!
Good stuff! 5 stars!
@0:49 WOW... That jet moves away fast. You guys have wicked good eye sight~!
awesome video, congratulacions.

That name's familar and I know we've crossed paths, but can't place it. I will indeed be out in San Diego in September for my younger brother's wedding (also a Super Hornet pilot). Dad, uncle and Grandfather, all Naval Aviators, will be in attendance as well. Maybe we can do a group push to the Midway Museum!
Navy should be always proud of this elite squadron Go Valion Pride Go.
freakin awesome
My War Birds........VFA-15 1990-1993

muy buen video-. Fantastic video :D
Valion '80-'84 (A-7s) Outstanding video!
"U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates wants more UAVs. Already he has said that the next generation of fighter planes -- the F-35 that took decades to develop at a cost of more than half-a-billion dollars each -- will be the last manned fighter aircraft."
I can understand why they made that decision. its such a shame, especially when you see a video like this.
thanks for posting. How fast at the 2min mark and where were ya, if you still recall?
I enjoy some low level flying with my Lancair from time to time...but somehow, it just isn't quite as fast as that Hornet of yours ;)
watch?v=xOKEAkhoVZ8
Thats my little dedication to you guys! Since i ant do it for real, i can at least do it virtually.
omg i love fighter jets.
Great Video,
Can you tell us the title of the sundtrack?
Best regards Hornet Pilot...
wow... just few more years before these guys are flying regional jets out of nebraska....

@davidabarak Well said! :-)
so when you guys fly into places like th cascade mountains is that just messing around or messing around but going to the target range. or why do you fly through there.
...great video, but be carfuel, this planes are ours:)...
Did the pilot at 1:20 nearly crash?
