Squirrel, these guys fly for the United States Navy. They are VFA-192 The Golden Dragons based out of Japan on the USS George Washington currently. But when this was shot they were flying off the USS Kitty Hawk, which was the last conventional powered(non-nuclear) US carrier to be retired. It was just last year they retired the Kitty Hawk
@WeedIsGood4Y0u They actually wear G-Force suits, which inflate when G-forces are experienced. As they inflate, it allows the blood to flow as normal. (:
@CrimsonGetsu goodness.... all i have to say is that every thing bad that occurs in this world does not have a bad beginning... in this case non=militants geting killed durring a war. Yes it's unfortunate and sad, but that does not mean that it all started with some general siting behind a desk saying "kill them all." Same thing goes when someone makes a lane change and cuts you off... maybe they didn't intend to cut you off but they just didn't see you in the rear view mirror.
@CrimsonGetsu Absolutely.... I have several family members who served in Vietnam. And i can tell you with certainty that civilians aren't intentionally attacked. It happens yes, but It's simply an unfortunate reality in war.
WHAT a RIDE! Kind of like when you watch the Space Shuttle far off coming up from the lovely round shape of planet Earth far below it, and slowly the little ship comes in to dock at the Space Station. The sun is rising on a portion of planet Earth behind it but there is total dark around it. OUR friends of air take us up WITH THEM, and give US such AHH=SOME . SO for THIS please applause, laugh, celebrate, and ALL YOU CUTIES OUT THERE, WAVE & TAKE OFF YOUR......(if they fly over)!
@brickmastertube altho they are used for combat, they are also usefull for alot of other things :) like, letting us groundpeople enjoy they magicness :D
I dont see why they would transition to the Super Hornet. We dont even have enough SHs to transition all the former F14 squads. There is currently a shortage of transitional planes until the F35 is operational. I would expect that they are going to transition to the F35C because there are no SHs to go to and the F35 is meant to replace the 18Cs and the 18E/F designed to replace the Tomcat.
yes they feel whats called g forces. It can be in the positive and negative. depending on the load a hornet can pull upwards of 7g or 7 times the force of gravity. so if the pilot weighs 200lbs he would feel 1400lbs pushing down on him
I tried 2gs, it's nothing but if you don't know how it feels you're gonna be surprised! A sudden need to sleep comes, it's nothing more, but it's very strong!
That was awesome! I love flying. What freedom! And thanks for protecting our freedom. I love our country...
I'm so jelous. I'm stuck flying in the cessnas. I see stuff like this and it just kills me. All the respect in the world for what these guys do.
its a beautiful feeling when soaring through between white clouds and blue sky on a sunny day....awesome video
One of the greatest creations from war are fighter pilots.
Someone has the best job in the world.
No one can argue against it.
i wish i could fly with these guys. but i messed up in high school so i dont think i can anymore

The two guys, with "thumbs down" should be fired with that AIM9 on the wingtip :)
240p. We meet again.
Hermoso video.. es uno de mis favoritos en CZcams.. JLDEDOVERDE
When ever you do certain maneuvers do you feel the effects of gravity? Like turning upside down or to the side.
yes they feel whats called g forces. It can be in the positive and negative. depending on the load a hornet can pull upwards of 7g or 7 times the force of gravity. so if the pilot weighs 200lbs he would feel 1400lbs pushing down on him

Was the takeoff at the beginning out of NAF Atsugi?

@craigjreefent there messing around not performing.
Believe me, this would your worst job in the world thanks to the way gravity has an affect on the body.
F/A-18?
@C0mbatProductions Was not intended to offened anyone. More of a joke. Take life less serious and you will be much happier my friend.
