EA guys have to be so happy that they aren't flying the Prowlers any more. No more 3g limit, no more worries about 4.5 bearing eating itself, no more 25 hour oil samples. No more holes in the heat shields around the engines being repaired over and over again. Their new jets have a HUD, and afterburners!

Friends with a crew chief who retired when the last Prowler squadron transitioned at Cherry Point and can confirm. He called it a flying history museum. His relationship with the airplane went from love to love/hate some time after 2003.

It really was a blessing. I was part of the transition in 2013 but won’t deny that I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the EA6B

When that Ace Combat music is popping off
I work for a contractor, and I've had on-and-off involvement with the computers for the Super Hornets for almost my entire career. This gave me great joy to watch.
Thank you, Dirty Jersey, for this perfect movie about the EA-18G and the F/A-18!
This is sick as hell! Mad props to whoever edited this, it's a great video.
This is one of the best plane videos I've seen so far.... I could feel the energy, the rush of flying f18's! GREAT WORK ! ✌️

Fantastic vid, guys. I'm so glad the Australian Air Force gets to fly these incredible birds. Not only that but any joint training we get with the US is brilliant. Keeping that brotherhood and alliance alive is awesome.
Am I the only one ramdomly whistling the Blue monday soundtrack and thinking in Growlers along the day? well after watching i don't know how many times this video I can only say is awesome , the best I've ever seen, and I even seen the Zappers cruise video!! jajajajaj you have the top 2 in my rank mister, keep doing a great job!
I still can't stop watching this over and over the video edits are the best I've ever seen.

That was epic. Love the music. Love the Brisbane clips, love the dude perfect clips. Awesome video, thanks mate
As a former carrier sailor I smiled the whole time watching this video.
Wow! The best aviation video I've seen. Numerous things I've never seen before. In cockpit camera during catapult launch, while showing another '18 launching off a different catapult. Way cool. The coolest. Congrats. MORE.
Outstanding! Thanks for sharing this amazing feeling of how to be inside jetfighter cockpit.
THANK YOU. Beautiful photography and production. I wish we had a few more Growlers. Cheers from the Land of Oz. 24/08/2121

One of the best Hornet vids ever. Amazing footage.
Best Ball video I've seen yet. Absolute masterclass.
Still hard for me to believe this is what my son fly's in! He's the "Navigator" I have a picture of him waving at us doing touch and goes while we were watching him last year on Whidbey Island... Couple months ago he was doing touch and goes off of an aircraft carrier! Sooo PROUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks killer. Glad y’all are having fun. Great song choice.
Well done guys, proud to have you in our backyard!!
Wow! The best fighter sequence I've seen for a long time! Good work!! 😎
I used to buy disks of this kinda footage when I was little...only difference between this and the disks is they the disk had crappier footage and the edits weren’t nearly as good as these! Great job and thank you for your service!!!

haven't seen my grandparents in yrs but thinking of flying across the country to show them some of these vids. retired pilot & flight attendant, they don't have internet ... they'd be absolutely psyched
just an old army grunt from the 80's ... this is just fantastic .. thanks
I love seeing the RAAF Riverfire displays incorporated in these videos. Sad that I haven't heard any news of a display this year due to COVID 19. Hopefully we'll see them again in 2021. Always get goosebumps.
Jeez all these clips are gold
I grew up a half hour away from Whidbey and I loved seeing the growlers and Super Hornets I now live along one of there training paths and it’s awesome to see them ripping up and down the valley
Whoever made this. Thank you for feeling my jet addiction
absolute TOP with great sound track!!! I'm loving it
Sent off my package to the Nov 2nd Aviation Board! In about 3 years I'll be piloting one of these amazing aircraft
Sweet video! Love the soundtrack!
Aw man!! Goosebumps!! Great editing
Excellent!!! Could watch that all day.
Awsome vid of such a formidable multirole kick ass fighter,
Great production. Thank you, it is well done.
This needs to be on loop in the USN recruiting offices. Amazing video!
