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.

There is nothing more interesting to me than listening to his stories about flying on and off carriers, how they practiced aerial maneuvers (like purposely stalling out their plane?!), as well as the technology they used for navigation and sub detection. He is an amazing man. He flew private planes for a long time until his cancer came. When i think of him, he is still the man waving his wings at the airstrip as he comes to land or takes off to leave. He may not be able to fly anymore, but nothing made him happier career wise. Id give anything to see him wave is his wings before landing one more time. Its how he always said hi as soon as he could, my favorite way he said i love you

Just to clarify, night vision goggles are not allowed for carrier landings. The lack of depth perception makes it way too dangerous. As for all of the modern aids, INS , GPS etc., they're great to have and use, but you had better be ready to lose all of the aids and still be able to get aboard even on those super dark nights with high winds and pitching deck. That's why I did most of my practice landings with the systems purposely degraded. (Former F-18 driver with 500 carrier landings.)

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.

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

As seen here in the 3rd landing sequence, The C-130 Hercules holds the record for the largest and heaviest aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier. In October and November 1963, a USMC KC-130F (BuNo 149798), bailed to the US Naval Air Test Center, made 21 unarrested landings and take-offs on the USS Forrestal at a number of different weights culminating in a final landing and take off with 30,000 lbs. of cargo. Approximately half it's usable weigh lifting capacity. The pilot, LT (later RADM) James Flatley III, USN, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his participation. The tests were highly successful, but the idea was considered too risky for routine "Carrier Onboard Delivery" (COD) operations. Instead, the C-2 Greyhound was developed as a dedicated COD aircraft. (The Hercules used in the test, most recently in service with Marine Aerial Refueler Squadron 352 (VMGR-352) until 2005, is now part of the collection of the National Museum of Naval Aviation at NAS Pensacola, Florida.)

I realize Navy pilots are highly trained and well above normal men and women but man, that first night landing on a pitching and rolling deck has got to be a white knuckle event; sucking up some seat cover for sure! In this video it may be a SIM, as some have commented, but it is done in real life all over the world's seas, so IMO my comment stands, it has to be a "significant emotional event".

I have the greatest respect for Naval Aviators. Having said that, I was sitring in DC Central on USS Carl Vinson discussing some things with the Reactor Officer, I am a retired Nuclear qualified CPO, when the CO made an all hands annoucement stating that CAG had made the 30,000th arrested landing on Carl Vinson in three years. The RO looked at me and said "Ya know, Chief, something you can do 30,000 times in three years just doesn't seem that hard." Well said, Mo Gamma You who served with us know who I mean. MMC(SS) USN Ret.

Wow! I never heard of the "stool" before. Such precision--especially since the pilot cannot see it. As "they" say, "You learn something new every day." To me, ALL carrier landings are amazing. Landing on a narrow runway with only a short distance in which to land, and having to do this with full throttle in case you miss and have to go around and try again, and with the carrier pitching and rocking.... I salute all you pilots!

I'd say the most amazing deck landing ever was done by Squadron Commander Edwin Harris Dunning in August 1917, when he made the very first successful landing on what was the first Aircraft carrier, the HMS Furious, with Dunning flying a Sopwith Pup biplane fighter. The way they did this back then, was to have the plane and the ship move at equal speed so the plane would be hanging still in the air. They had attached leather straps on the ends of the wings and the fuselage and deckhands would grab onto those and manhandle Dunning's plane down. In the annals of Naval aviation Dunning has rightfully claimed his place. But he couldn't enjoy the accolades for long, because after another successful landing the next day, he tried it for the third time and things went awry. Keep in mind how this worked: the plane and the ship had to move at equal speed with no margin for error but even a biplane such as a Sopwith Pup is much faster than a world war one era battleship, so while the ship was moving at its fastest speed, the plane was flying at its slowest. And on that third landing attempt the engine of Dunning's plane stalled which made the plane slam into the deck, which knocked Dunning unconscious and then with the shock actually getting the engine going again, the plane bounced up in the air and before the deckhands could grab it, it fell off the side into the sea. Again: the plane flew at its slowest and the ship sailed at its top speed, so by the time The Furious had turned around to retrieve Dunning from the ocean it was already too late. I dare any naval pilot to step into a flight simulator and try landing a plane like Dunning did, I doubt ANY could pull it off.

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.

"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!"

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.

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 ;)

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.

Even though I know I'm watching a video, I still get really tense and my heartrate actually goes up. I don't have a clue how these amazing pilots are able to do what they do, even at night and in a rainstorm. Much respects to them all.

Anyone here or there that can pull this off...you have my utmost respect.

The most amazing aircraft carrier landing I witnessed was my landing in TOP GUN for NES. Shit was impossible!

5 Amazing Aircraft Carrier Landings and 5 ads!

Thanks for the circle in the thumbnail! Almost missed that big ass aircraft carrier!

The C130 and the WWII pilots landing with their aircraft shot to hell were the most amazing to me. The night landing was incredible as well. "Trust your instruments." 😲

" this ship is trailing smoke as the pilot..."

Yeah that looks pretty easy.. I can reverse park my car so I’m sure this can’t be much harder! :)

That’s what they train for! Good work and perfect landings

Wow.... I wish i would have followed through with my childhood dream of being a pilot.....that was so cool!!!!

Landing on an aircraft carrier takes a lot of skill. But these were just normal landings that this dude found on the internet.🤣

I was aircrew in C130 VMGR 252, Cherry Point MCAS. Landing on a carrier would have been interesting

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.

Amazing! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

#2... big prop plane. The pilot landed that aircraft so SMOOOOTH! Absolutely brilliant.

Captain: You're going to do a night flight Me: NAH BRO im good with day shift!

when you've watched literally every youtube video during quarantine and now your watching planes land on boats...

that night landing...gave me the chills...

That Belly Flop Nose Drop was a thing of Beauty. Sat the craft down on that "Stool" like a regular on Cheers. Amazing

Now That's What I Call skill. Number three kind of look like a flight simulator though. Good job keep up the quality content

#1 by a landslide.. Brother made the turn HOT! 💯‼️💥👊🏻

These 5 landings were very outstanding and unusal than other thousands of normal carrier....I am very impressed.

As cool as they all were, pretty much day to day of an airedale , even the WW2 "crash landing" was text book. And before the snipers start shooting, no, I could not do it. But I was an aviation boatswain mate for almost three years on the flight deck. I watched these amazing Navy and Marine pilots operate in the Pacific and Indian Ocean on two West Pacs.

1st clip: that's called a "shit hot break". Meant to get down a lot faster than a standard landing.

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.

I have nothing but pride for our pilots,I think they’re the best in the business,other countries may have aircraft landing on carriers,but we’ve got more of them doing it routinely.

I have great admiration for all air force pilots, but man, naval aviators are in a whole different league. To take off and land in such short distances still blows my mind.

"I didn't realize how bad I was shaking until after..." That's a pilot with A: Some really big ones, and B: a pilot who absorbed 100% of his training.

Amazing music

Harrier Pilot seems a very humble guy. TopMan. Great Aircraft the Harrier.

To have the dedication to do this is super cool. You obviously have to be the kind of person that puts fear of death behind themselves. We all face mortality obviously, but any of these high risk dudes in the military that do this are on a different level

#4 is a cut landing. The pilot was killing snakes with the stick and throttles, and was rough all the way down. He was low and added a handful of power at the ramp, caught an early wire and was drifting right to left and landed off center. No gloves on hands. #3, the night landing, was also a cut landing. Angle of Attack (nose) control was rough, you could see the AOA indicator jumping from low chevron to donut and back, plane was sinking at the ramp, you can see the ball go red. Probably an early wire. The C-130 was flown by James Flatley III, who the Navy later promoted to Admiral as part of a long and very successful career. I have 320 carrier arrestments in the F-4 Phantom, and 80 of them were night traps. Several of them were with an engine out (the F-4 is a twin jet). One of them was single-engine and stability augmentation off--that was a ride! Naval Aviators are well-trained (I was a Phantom instructor for three years) to perform all functions of their jobs, including hitting the boat.

It's amazing to see how the pilot plays with the throttle just before the landing.

A, 1 was a sim, B I didn’t see any “crazy” carrier landings, this wasn’t a top 5 video it was a video of just some normal carrier landings

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. ;)
