Blame my WSO (part 2)
Ride along inside an F/A-18F Super Hornet as we follow our flight lead on a low altitude tour. Can you spot lead? Can anybody guess where this is filmed?
*All footage has been vetted for sensitive material. Enjoy!

You guys are lucky AF to have gopros now so you can have these valuable memories for when you get out of the service. Very fortunate
Such a good move to post your videos….absolutely fantastic to watch. Thank you.
Beautiful flyover thank you from an old Sailor who worked the Deck for VA-37 I love the content
Keep the videos coming. They are great. I mentioned the other day that you and George Springer who plays for the Toronto Blue Jays look like brothers.
Outstanding videos can’t believe I have only just found you👍👍
Hi Alex, I'm here once more. This video remember another about a fly across Colombian forest with an old Douglas DC 3. That pilot fly a river canyon too short. Good luck friend Alex.🙏 Awaiting part 3 ...
Beautiful, thank you 💥💥
Zipping around Alaska? Cool to have the lead in the video as well. Don't hit the ground or anything attached to it.

Pacific Alaska Range Complex (PARC) R2205 east of Eielson AFB, AK (SSE of Fairbanks) Range 2205 is east of Eielson. This is going into Stuart Creek Live training area. Either that or R2202 South of Eielson near Ft Greely in the Delta River area. Hmmm?
The canyon run looks so much slower then it did in top gun 😉…. Keep up the excellent content, I love the raw footage

It also was really a narrow canyon in Top Gun. Not like huge valley, where the sense of speed is not that visible. Also....movie. :-D
Wow ‼️😲 amazing
Love the videos! I would have thought things would be closer tho! Just goes to show how movies are not RL!
Hi, is there a tactical or training purpose for why you are much higher then lead? He appears to be in the weeds he is that low. Great vid!! Cheers
nice view.
Are you doing the mock loop and I believe you're lead is below other nose and ahead. Thanks for sharing
Love it.
Is this between Fallon and Bravo 20(from part 1) ? Or another area?
It looks like Iceland. But I'm just guessing... The beauty of this terrain is, that You don't have to worry about trees much. :-D Cool video.

Was this taken out of JBER in the Delta MOA's during Red Flag?
It s just amazing how to become an F/A18 pilot
A friend has a lake cabin east of Seattle that is right under a low level military training rout. He was on his jet ski one day and the engine suddenly started screaming and he though it was about to let go so he jumped off into the water. Only to have two FA-18's rip overhead at low level. Bahahah!
dang this is so cool! Im totally jealous!
영국 아닌가요? England ?
Flying out of Elmendorf or Eielson?
Is there an MOA in Alaska? Great vids brother! *edited to say* an argument could be the whole state is an MOA
Are you shoot any fighter plane?

Blame the WSO for the shoddy camera work 😂
You fighter pilots can get the ladies🤣 I rented some farmland from a good neighbor that flew fighters of a carrier in ww2 then got called back for Korea. He never married but when I went to his funeral in 2011 I was looking at his photos by his casket and there was 3 little old ladies there. They said "did you know Al" I said he was a good neighbor. They said they went to school with Al and they all had a crush on him🤣🤣 My dad cousin got shot down over Vietnam in an F4 doing reconnaissance, never recovered him or his sidekick and plane.
Back in the day we called them RIO'S.
“blame my WSO” vid but from the scapegoat’s POV
Sorry whales. Again thanks for sharing awesome videos
My guess is the north of England. You gotta get the WSO a GroPro10 with electronic image stabilization.

I was the Fitness Director onboard NAS Whiting field. It's the primary flight training base most pilots go through, many pilots eventually end up back as instructors. I did a lot of fitness programs specialized for pilots, it was really surprising how many shoulder and neck injuries pilots get. "Just Wing It"

The pilot can never do anything wrong, if the plane breaks, blame it on the PC, if you do poorly when dropping a bomb, it was the WSO's fault
