Skilled US Pilot Lands His $80 Million Jet on Crowded Flight Deck at Sea 

Thank you everyone serving in the military, we appreciate your sacrifice 🙏

Tolles Video, sehr mutige Piloten. Grüße aus Germany

Piece of cake in calm seas during the day. When the wind is howling and the deck is rolling at night, it is an entirely different story.

To a landing pilot it's not a crowded flight deck. He has the same landing space that he would have if the carrier has NO planes on it. For the deck crew who has to spot the landing aircraft to a parking spot somewhere, the deck IS pretty damned crowded. A salute to ALL you Naval Aviation people, whether you're airborne or ground-based crew.

Such amazing skill. And courage

I love flying my Vans RV4 ... I get to choose when, why and how. I only fly in "easy" flight weather and conditions... These Navy Pro's have to operate , fight and fly in the most adverse, difficult and adverse conditions imaginable...! Love these guys/Gals....! Go USA...! Cheers.

They Are The Skilled … may God Protect them from what is coming

¡ Me facinan estos aviones!

Go USA go!!!❤❤❤😊

American soldiers and military or second to none in this world. These pilots are so highly proficiently train. It’s sickening the precise landings the dedication to their job. These are Americans true heroes.

That is a skilled US Naval Aviator. GO NAVY!! plankowner CVN-71.

I no these pilots are elite but to see them landing on carrier is amazing

The flight deck is always crowded? Except during fleet Carrier Quals

Flying Pipers and Cessnas in years past, these guys have big brass gonads and guts of iron…..don’t think I could do what they do on carrier.

Fantástico o video. Parabéns

Nice

Proper army .

I suppose the snagging wire needs to be a specific height from the ground to avoid the risk of MAAS snagging the wheels rather than the hook?

Deck might be crowded but the landing area isn't. Unless it it then it's a foul deck. But landing on the carrier is in the T&c

My father was a Naval Aviator in Korea and Vietnam. Flew a Skyraider off the “Conny” and the Princeston. I went the other direction and after college became a Navy EOD diver. We constantly got into arguments about who had more fun! 🫡 dad. Miss ya.

Pilot aircraft usa wonderful 😊😊

This is how we do it in the USA Baby

Day and life of people that take care of the country , kudos them ! Most will get sick just being on the boat !

please do not speed up the video to make it look cooler. we want to see what it looks like for real. thanks for vid, very cool overall.

My hands were sweating watching them land lol

With an abundance of super great natural sound, why mix in annoying music?

The first purpose built carrier keel to be laid was British, though the Japanese were the first to launch a carrier. Also the invention of the steam catapult and angled flight deck were British. The yanks were playing catch-up.

Now let's see how good they are at night with a pitching and rolling deck! My guess there is a lot of aborts!

The F/A 18 has auto-pilot landing. It's so precise, they had to squelch it, or the tailhook would wear a hole in the flight deck, because it would land in the exact same spot, every time. Pilots tend to turn it off, so they can get the thrill of landing. Also, when they are on the cat, they have to show the flight deck their hands. The jet nav system is in control until the bird gets a short distance off the flight deck. If pilot doesn't take controls, the plane will circle the carrier, and until it is activated to land again. They are NOTHING like the F-14. F-14 was 100% pilot operated. The F/A 18 is a manned drone...all it is.

As much as I like having some things explained to the public isn't there some little points here that the US would not like their enemies to know?

How hard is it to have someone read what we (viewers) must read. Instead of enjoying film. I have to pause every time the line changes. And if that is not enough, it is hard to read. Fix your weak link. Please? and thank you. PTL

Now imagine .. the stick jockeys who .. went to space

This fucking guy is Money in the Bank

Wow the Jolly Rogers 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Boa noite! Tenho uma RTX 3060 TIi gddr6x e quero migrar para um AMD 5700X. Compensa investir um pouco + em um 5700x3d? Objetivo é rodar em Quad HD. Muito obrigado

AMORE DALL'ITALIA❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

One of those F-18's had the markings of the F-14 squadron "Jolly Roger".

Почему такая высокая посадочная скорость ? Миг 29 бы отлично сел

Thanks to see the pilots and the crews of this chip

#2 cat is most common anymore.

Balls

Once launched, he gone. Up into the God knows where, all that is left now is a safeful landing return. Where did you go and what did you see? Heck if I know.

Brother 😮😊😊😂😂😂

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

🦅🇺🇲

is that what they cost now in top gun they were 30 million inflation at its best

music too loud

M2機関銃一丁でクラウンが買えるんだって（笑

How many times a day do pilots / aircraft get worked during an average day. And what do pilots do when they are not flying when on the boat. I cant imagine they sit around. Are they always practicing. I like to think they are always buzzing around the skies doing stuff. Same as the ground based aviators.

O.K., I can see already at only <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="170">2:50</a> mark this VIDEO, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ITS "CAPTION"!

I didn´t see nothing!

Pilot lands his 80 million dollar jet. Wow, he must be a rich pilot to be able to afford an 80 million dollar jet.

Interres

Can we recycle the empty bullet casing so we can prevent pollution in the oceans please...thank you ❤❤❤

Oh okay you want to mess with the United States of America will see something about that

Where are the black pilots?

It would all appear to be a total waste of tax payers money, now that Red Hyper 1 can take the carrier out in millie seconds😢

You mean the tax payers jet. Fly boy ain't got no money.

It is a required and taught skill. DUH.

I'm not a pilot, but it's probably easier to land an $80 million dollar jet than an $80 dollar jet.

그만하시오! 박근혜의 수준이지요, 박정희 대통령의 후광효과에 모두가 너무 과대평가하고 기대하는 착각속에 살았던 것이지 뭐 다른게 있소이까?

When will my ex-girlfriends a female Naval aviator

Military budgets are way to high you only get to blow up the world once , 1 of those jets could feed a lot of homeless people

My old Duty Station is a museum in San Diego...

I admire the Yanks and very pleased they’re our allies, but chaps please remember we Brits invented America, Internet, discovered DNA , and a myriad of other jolly useful things. Have a nice day.

Stupid remark.

Vietnam is mentioned as a target, did that include dropping Napalm on kids??
