Top 5 Amazing Aircraft Carrier Landings 

Goats DCS World 😂

@@jackrobinson1073 Actually, no. That's not DCS World, that's the super hornet. The hornet we have in DCS World is classified, and also you can see it's a video game because of the horrible landing.

Carlo Scopelleti that is dsc u dumb.

@@marckurta7319 but there is no Super hornet in dcs

Carlo Scopelleti I agree, it was either FSX or P3D, and it looks like the VRS F/A-18E SuperHornet, or the Superbug. Definitely not real. The landing is dangerously close to the edge of the runway, and the approach is horrible. He is going to fast, as indicated by the AOA gauge and the symbol on the HUD, and his V/S on touchdown is well over 1000 f/m. If this was real, the pilot’s career would be over. The LSO would have told him to waveoff, and not following the LSOs orders is bad news. It is either one of those sims with the SuperHornet, a good camera mod, and a carrier add-on. No matter what, this pilot is not skilled at all, and this is not real.

Having Beta helps....

Bahahahahahaa

Reverse thrusters/rockets?

That was my Skipper, James Flatley, piloting that C-130. Great Commanding Officer and a real pro.

@@rustyoilburner, I was on the Sara for that 1980 Med cruise, too. AIMD, IM-3 Shop 6. Capt. Flatley was a class act!

Kelly Williams absolute madlad

Thank you for your service. Just watching those guys landing on that postage stamp was hairy enough for me. The scariest flight I ever took was coming into Menorca Spain on a DC-10 when we caught a gust of crosswind just as the pilot set it down. Everyone on that plane screamed. Aviaco airlines was nervous making.

I am totaly impressed. This looks fore me superhuman skill already with day Light. Just watching this on a smartphone I have gooseskin. Wow.....

Kelly Williams The new F-35 helmet has built in night vision and thermal vision.

The pilot of that C-130 retired with a little over 1600 arrested landings. He completed his 1500th in 1980 while he was CO on the Saratoga.

Vf2 no Pro pretty cool a 10 mile and turn around in less than a minute and a half

No Pro, great guy.

One Star on his head and I think he just got #2!!

SHIT HOT BREEEEAAAAAAKKK

I don’t think that means anything.....

"and some of them from games"

And they can't even tell the difference between the real ones and the fake ones. If you're going to steal other people's videos, do it right..

Yeah, the video needs a new titles "10 minutes of video that shows I know nothing about aviation..." Save us all the time.

True but it still got over 8m views so.....

@@Schwedeballz never said it didnt

Its very intense sir. but oh so satisfying

It was amazing..and fun to watch

While they didn't have GPS, they had gyro-based dead-reckoning INS. Took a while to align before flight: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VFuY72dqDw8.html

Dafnessific: That was an interesting link. Thanks. I vaguely remember talk about those systems, in some aircraft back then but, for the planes I flew, (F8, A4, T2 and T39) all we had available for NAV was a TACAN, ADF and one radio we could use as ADF to home in on a UHF radio frequency. The F8 did have a SPIN10 which was similar to ILS for glideslope (but it never worked in my Squadron) so, when weather was below TACAN mins we came in using a PAR. Oh ya, we also had a knee board, with map and card, for the old faithful, dead reckoning procedure. First time I ever saw a INS was after retirement, in civilian life: the A320. boy, was that a game changer.

Those were the best of the best. Pretty soon you'll have drones fighters flying the skies, limited by hardware, not human fragility.

A pilot whom I knew tried to get his take-off switched so he could take me for the ride of my life in the back seat of his Phantom. However, the captain kept him on schedule during this military operation. But I did get to fly supersonic later aboard the British Airways Concorde from Newfoundland to Heathrow. Flight of my life--2.5 hours. 60-000 freet. Breathtaking take-off and hair - raising landing. Exhilarating.

@@kenbuckley3294 that's sick. I landed on the USS Enterprise when I went for my first deployment(which was half way through its tour) then got transferred to the USS GHWB for its 2nd deployment and flew off it a month before it went back to home port. I consider myself lucky to have experienced that.

Lmao, the pilot did good tho ngl.

@@mikevictorcharlie No, no he did not.

@@o3941 At least he didn't die

@@mikevictorcharlie Again, the only risk he ran was heart disease from sitting at a computer. I'm at just as much risk as I post this.

it wasn’t a flight simulator tho

Which you then found on RU-vid, compiled for your convenience.

For sure. The ones at the end were more impressive than #5

pretty much is

Clay Yosten the problem is the "most amazing" claim. The first two are ordinary, the others mildly interesting

pretty much what this person did

Ted Stryker: "You have to come in pretty low to land these things."

diGritz1 just some skill there’s a strap to get to the aircraft then that locks on then stops it r/wooosh

RazorWolf Taylor what’s he being wooooshed on? Also, it’s four Os...

diGritz1 did he say it takes skill to put vids like this together? No he said that it takes an incredible amount of skill to land on an aircraft carrier. These are 2 completely different things so I dont understand your comment...

@@kiru7seven7 just another person looking for 230 likes on their comment..🤔

Worked on the roof of the JFK; yes, it is better in person.

ikr

We live in a simulation.

jeep xj commie hunter and cuz of that pandemic there is quarantine. So basically hes right. Poor fool

In fact they're stupid

god I love that saying thats funny

OtoeTiger88 says someone who obviously has never set foot in a cockpit, a great landing is one you can fly away from in the same aircraft

Said no Kamikaze pilot ever

They didn't ride 115mil. $ aircrafts back then

Antonio Defaria I mean besides the harrier that ain’t normal

Crb well then why would there be a nose stall then

Nope, the C-130 was never designed to land on a carrier. Amazing an aircraft that size with no tailhook could actually do it.

NO landing on a carrier is "average", couch pilot.

The 5th and 4th are just normal, 3 is from a VR GAME, 2nd one was cool cuz c-130 and 1st was interesting so only cool ones are 2 and 1 like bruh they were lazy with this :(

Yes in fact, it is the VRS Superhornet used in connection with Microsoft FSX flight sim (I have it) - and it's very good add on as you can see, but I recognized it immediately because the mirrors gave it away (had a daytime reflection which it always has- unlike the DCS models).

Definitely real.

You're right no one is on the flight deck to tie and chalk the plane. I was station on USS Constellation CV 64 and USS Nimitz CVN 68 (along side my older brother)

hahaha yes ! on a video taken from the DCS aerial simulation.

Well they never mentioned it is only irl

Rudy Flores oops

Rudy Flores harrier landed on a container ship (badly) still funny

I was amazed. They must have very good brakes, tires, and highly-reversing props on those powerful engines.

HERCULES!!!

Raise the hose 18" off the ground , fixed firmly both ends, across the drive..Just to be on the safe side.

Ha ha! Made me laugh! I feel your pain....

Just be thankful she is'nt backing in! (lol)

And taking out the mailbox when she leaves again...

Randy Porter Maybe she thinks the hose is a “ wire “ 🥴

Ain't no such thing as an "Aircraft Carrier Landing", more like a "Aircraft Carrier Crashing" to me.

chris s - EXACTLY!!! 1,000% true. It’s like trying to run jump on a stamp 10 feet in front of you. Lol, good luck, dude!

how was the first one amazing?!

face palm....

"If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you can use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing" - Chuck Yeager

Couln't agree more.

Is there a possibility that one was offered but that it was declined?

The pilot of that C-130 was Lt. James H. Flatley III. In 1980, Capt. James H. Flatley III was my CO on the USS Saratoga.

Which landing, the first or the third? Apparently you have never flown an aircraft in a formation, or refueled a fighter at altitude from a C-130 when the C-130 is maxed out and the fighter is at high AOA. I would venture that any qualified Naval Aviator, any qualified bush pilot, and any helicopter pilot would manage to put the aircraft on the deck. Harrier pilots make zero relative-speed carrier landings frequently. Also, I would start to question whether you have ever driven in traffic where all the cars are moving at the same speed. Being first is always an accomplishment, but it doesn't mean that those that follow are any less talented or skilled. Basically, you lack the knowledge to understand the inanity of your challenge.

I've been driving cars for 17 years and counting without causing a single accident and I'm very familiar with the highway and traffic jams thank you very much. "Being first is always an accomplishment, but it doesn't mean that those that follow are any less talented or skilled" True but you overlook some very important things which come with being the first... Basically all three of those landings (even the failed one) were incredible feats of teamwork not only by Dunning AND the deck crew, Try to snatch a plane by leather straps hanging from the wings and fuselage and manhandle it down while it flies at stalling speed. s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/8f/16/64/8f1664962cc695c52a3b44beaf3b9889.jpg Also take note that there were NO on board radios, there was NOBODY from the tower to talk Dunning in on where the deckhands were, to slow down, speed up or when to fly away again and abort the landing because of the conditions not being right for a successful landing. Also there were NO headphones on the deck hand's heads to coordinate what they were supposed to do AND very likely, NO BRIEFING ON HOW TO GET AT IT! They were asked to pull a plane from the air and they hit the ground running. www.orcadian.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/dunning-credit-Orkney-Library-and-Archive.jpg Harrier and Helicopter pilots are constantly being updated on the situation while they come in for a landing, if it isn't by the crews on board the carrier following his every move on the radar screen, then it is by their on board flight systems. Squadron Leader Dunning had NONE of those aids. aircrewremembered.com/editorial/resources/dunning-overboard2-w800.jpg Try to replicate the scenario with a modern crew and a modern pilot and tell them "Okay, your guy is flying a WW-1 era biplane, there are leather straps attached to his wings and fuselage, your task is to get hold of those straps and pull the plane from the sky, in addition there is NO radio, you have NO way to communicate with the others while this is happening, now go do it." very likely they would look at you and go "No way, Impossible!" At least acknowledge Squadron Commander Dunning's cast iron balls for doing what he did. aircrewremembered.com/editorial/resources/dunning-in-water-w800.jpg

Doing something first definitely takes big brass ones. There are PLENTY of pilots with the stones to give something like this a shot. Why do you think there are so many applicants for Test Pilot School and the Astronaut program. Also, while being close to stall speed is an extra complicating factor, matching velocity is something we do every single time a helicopter lands on a ship. And on the smaller ships that involves the rotors being within about 20’ of the hangar doors.

Probably true, but for those of us who have never done it, it's nice to see a selection of "ordinary" (if that can ever be called ordinary) landings and special ones to see how the whole system works. Have you done a lot of these?

Mr Smith I wouldn’t call a Harrier landing with no front landing gear “ordinary”, the C130 landing I don’t see on a daily basis. But I get your point, also one was sim landing 😂

Good news Freddy, Heatblur are releasing an F-14 for the DCS simulator and it reeks of Top Gun!! You'll be able to live out your Maverick dreams in the most awesome way. I think it formally releases in Feb, 2019. Can't wait ;)

@@----.__ sweet!!!

You could have joined the service as a warrant officer helo pilot.

I too love the idea of flying a military jet but it wasn't in the cards. But what I could do and did do was get my private pilots license. As a 25 year old pilot, I got to fulfill some of those great feelings of being in charge of where and when I could go. Flying the backcountry of Idaho is probably one of the greatest rewards I've accomplished. Get your license and go have fun. It's the best.

bruzote Only after enlisting and getting a degree while you served, you may be selected if you are the crème de la crème in your MOS and/or unit. You don't get to skip right up to warrant officer without doing an outstanding job.

He's not "American" so therefore it won't count on this chanel.

Night time in bad weather = OMFG Likewise, absolute respect.

F Dc it was a video game 😂

that was the easy part, to hard part its take off !

Oğuz Gülbay awesome

Thank-you !

How fast are passenger jets flying when they land?

@@maxpowers111 121 knots+

That C-130 definitely was crazy

@@FiestyFez *gear

Non were sims

Say number 3 was a simulator

@@pizza_parker9689 no simulator is that bouncy during a landing. It's real.

Put it down in style what it's all about

Lol how is it faster ? He started over the deck ?

@@danielkirkland3366 look up case 1 and you'll understand

That really isn't the point if a shb

There are cables to catch the jet. And jet never slows down it's speed because if they failed catch the cable jet will have enough speed to fly from other end.

Yes in fact, it is the VRS Superhornet used in connection with Microsoft FSX flight sim (I have it) - and it's very good add on as you can see, but I recognized it immediately because the mirrors gave it away (had a daytime reflection which it always has- unlike the DCS models).

*_I am an F/A-18D Hornet pilot and no is not a video game. Is a helmet mounted GoPro and that's the real cockpit and how it looks at night!_*

It is indeed real footage.

that pilot must be an owl by the way he turned his head around 180

Justin, I think you are mistaken. Clearly mistaken.

I'm sure they're ready for that to happen. This is just a stool sample.

Nobody cares Bob!

Bob M Everybody cares, Bob. Thanks for making the effort to briefly give us all what we really crave - a seat in the cockpit and at least a second level of understanding for what it might actually have felt. And above all, thank you for yr heroic contribution, and for keeping yr head when all the buzzers and klaxons kicked on. Guy W, British Airways 747 aircrew.

Thank you for you service bob

Respect

Number three was from a video game, albeit a realistic simulation.

if a real pilot did what the 2nd one did he would be dead

Both very impressive!

Especially the C130, Unbelievable! I really didn't think it was possible!

I believe a C130 was only ever landed on a carrier once, and everybody thought it was incredible 😂

Hear ye, hear ye! The expert has spoken! I would like to take you with me on a flight on, say a trainer, and then bail out right in the middle of the air and let you land the them damn thing on a carrier. Maybe you'd then also be impressed by anybody else who can successfully land on a carrier. You'd probably be none of them but dead. ;)

slowpoke96z28 Did you see the wing damage to the WW2 Douglas bomber/torpedo plane?

Not a simulator idiot it's a night flight. Done in complete darkness except for the radar projected on the cockpit.

​@@michaelhayko2904 You can clearly tell it is... when he looks behind him there's no pilot sitting there, and on deck the people don't move a muscle. I believe it is P3D, the cockpit is the precisely the same, down to the wear on the panels and everything.

jort93z ~ Many Pilots especially if they're doing night training don't have co-pilots. You write many people don't move a muscle. Well I can only see one figure that could be deck crew but before I could be sure the video stops. I'm sure you viewed this several dozens of times and see deck crew everywhere. When the lone pilot turns his back did you notice some personnel waving to him from those structures?

@@michaelhayko2904 I know this part from a dcs video and can say that it's a flight simulater... A pretty one, but clearly a fucking Sim XD

@@michaelhayko2904 Dude, you can literally see the seat he would be sitting on....(I think it is a single seat version as well). It is P3D, the cockpit is precisely the same down to the wear on the screws.

Didn’t know a C130 could land on a carrier

zeus juice it only happened once: USS Forrestal (CVA-59) back on October 30,1963. The ship is now scrap but the record still stands.

The USA surely loves you too!

that was not on an aircaft carrier

And not a Tomcat either.

It was an F-15 right?

A bold Eagle, yes.

This is a video about aircraft carrier landings the video your talking about is a f-15 that landed with one wing on a runway

Any time you have a successful landing on an aircraft carrier it is amazing.

no
