Yellowjacks and the red arrows together, That pair is world class history right there! I love the Gnat so much and for it to fly alongside it's nephew the Hawk is, to me, sheer poetry. ❤
An ex artillery chap who served in the Royal Observer Corps with me told me one TSR2 finished up on a range at Shoeburyness . No idea if that was correct .

2024 and the place is still a Ghetto ruled by crime
After retiring from the Navy, I was at a party and some guy asked me what I did in the military. I told him that I was a Navy pilot. He looked at me and rudely says "You don't look like a pilot." Whatever the hell that means. I'm not ugly or fat or weird looking. Just normal. Women like me and at the time, that's all that counts. Not all pilots look like the mustached swash buckling fighter pilot Robin Olds. That wasn't the first time I heard someone say something like this. I find it a bit amusing because guys like Randy Cunningham and the late Henry Kleeman sure and heck "Don't Look" like fighter pilots. Henry (Former Skipper of VF41) was short, kind of dumpy looking with a personality to match but, he was one hell of a fighter pilot. The same can be said about Randy Cunningham. Henry was a F4 combat veteran flying F14's and shot down a Libyan Fitter (I was there). Randy Cunningham shot down 5 Vietnamese including their top ace. Looks have nothing to do with ability and these guys are / were consummate warriors. To those jackasses out there who sum up people by their looks, you should think twice before you make your down putting rude remarks. I learned a long time ago, NEVER EVER under estimate someone because of their looks, etc. FYI. Henry Kleeman died in a mishap flying the F18. I think Henry was the only pilot to fly the F4, F14 and the F18.
I have over 1200 hours in the A6E Intruder with over 400 traps. I bailed for the airlines and was flying C9's in the Reserves. During this time, I was going through NAS Miramar and had a couple of buddies who were instructors with the Fighter Weapons School (FWS) also known as "Top Gun." I'm in my blue flight suit (What VR flyers wear) and was climbing up the stairs into the sacred honored spaces of Top Gun when I came across the commanding officer, Commander Randy Cunningham. He saw me in my blue zoom bag and asked "What in the hell are you doing here?" I replied "Hello, Skipper, I'm looking for Randy x x x x and Mike x x x x. He yelled at me "This is a fighting squadron with fighting men. Get the hell out of here!" I started to laugh thinking him just pulling my chain, He wasn't kidding! He chased after me threatening to kick my ass if I didn't immediately leave the Top Gun spaces. I didn't run but bustered out of their pronto. I wasn't humiliated and in fact deeply respected CDR Cunningham's intensity. FWS is a serious place and blue suited airline pilots aren't welcome and in fact, are a sign of weakness. I thought CDR Cunningham a great guy and terrific C.O. Regardless of how we came across each other, I'm glad that I got to meet him at his peak. FYI. I'm not a weak tit. Finishing #1 in my flight class, I had my choice of flying the F4 or the F14. I want to fly. At the time, the fighters weren't flying much . In the A6, we were averaging about 60 to 80 hours per month. That's v about 10 to 15 hours in fighters.
You sound like you've had a very interesting career...😁
@@militaryaviationtv Yes, I did have a very interesting career. Having served in a different era, I'm no Randy Cunningham but have participated in several hot spots throughout the world. I was fortunate to have served with some incredible people who went on to become Blue Angels, Top Gun Instructors, Admirals, Generals, CNO, Astronauts, etc. I went from soloing in a T28 to playing poker with the Secretary of the Navy. I have first hand knowledge and inside information about the Iranian Rescue Attempt, 1981 Gulf of Sidra Shoot Down, USS Nimitz EA6B Flight Deck Accident, Intercepted a Russian Bear in an KA6 Tanker, Discovered a Russian Krivak inside a Norwegian fjord. I refused an order to eject me and my B/N during night time blue water operations with 12 foot seas. Transported Bob Hope Tour. Transported U.S. Marine bodies killed in Lebanon. Anecdotes from making the movie "Final Countdown." First hand knowledge of the inside back stabbing of Commander Emory Brown. Saved a drowning Seaman who fell off of the flight deck in shark infested waters. I have many great sea stories. Some sad and some funny. All are true.
i was there in june 1982 on the supply ship hms boaty mcboatface.
😁😁
@@militaryaviationtv we had to deliver tunnocks wafers to the troops.
😂😂 a vital job...
^wonder what he disliked about Germany? Being in the RAF he won't have had much local exposure to Germany per se.
As far as we know, it was the general lifestyle of being in the RAF in Germany, at that time.
@@militaryaviationtv hmm, ok. I wasn't in the RAF but attached to the forces for many years and was often in RAF Wildenrath, Brüggen and Laarbruch as based nearby. We had great times and the RAF people, both pilots and families, seemed happy enough, but he'll have his reasons I suppose. Nothing's perfect.
When you come to realise that the American government is responsible for every conflict since WW2 everything becomes underwhelming and vomit inducing!!
Full of lies and misleading. most people killed by American soldiers were innocent civilians
A little misunderstanding here and there, could have such huge significant implications
I feel deeply touched in my heart that this man's are the hero and legends that lost their life in line of duty respect and honor to this soldier and God bless America and the people of the united state specially to there family's to raise such a strong man R.I.P to all soldier whom lost their life in action for their country 🙏❤️💙🤍🎗🏅🎖Salute 🫡
Malaysian soldier got brave to move and keep helping no matter happen. 👍🏿
DONT FEED BLACK AFRICA.....
Kidnap the guy thats got it under control and everything will be ok. What weird logic is that?
The emotional stupidity of Americans risking more lives to remove bodies of comrades just amazes me. "Only in America"
And it's all going to happen again.....A labour government is going to scrap Tempest. And the USA will win again.....
Don't forget about Haiti. We 3/75 were going to invade Haiti 3 times and got canceled because of the fear of those at the top that they would look bad... again. Remember, Waco happened that same year, too. And, from April to June of 1994, we watched 1 million plus Tutsis get slaughtered in Rwanda and did nothing.... Thats 10,000 per day for 100 days.... mostly killed by machetes. I remember so well because I was at 3/75 during all of this. I was just in a different company.
This is why America Should not help out other countries because most of the world hates us because they’re very ungrateful and we’re taught to hate Americans🙄
My Navy ✌️
My best friend's brother was in a military and actually knew one of the guys that was in this battle. He asked him if they really rolled out to "voodoo child" when they left the base. He said no they actually rolled out to guns N' Roses "welcome to the jungle"
So much to say but not sure if the information that the sources out there are either classified or unclassified to share. So it’s best not to say. So it’s best not to say.
Yep, not the 1st and not the last US f**k up.
“we’re a low level ground attack force” Little did he know that they would actually be used in a CAP fleet defence interceptor dog fighter role come the Falklands war 😂
Incorrect. The RAF Harrier GR.3s were only ever used in the ground attack role, during the Falklands War. The GR.3s were wired to carry Sidewinder Air-to-Air missiles prior to going down South, as the MOD anticipated that the Sea Harrier force would suffer significant loses, but this never happened.
Im somali specifically the tribe who fought the usa army. Please usa people dont come again while you crying a gun, otherwise you're welcome. In history nobody defecated this skinny man hhhh
tfw im 20 seconds in and already misinformation lol. the modern rangers were founded in the mid 80s.
It should never be so hard for African Americans to prove themselves considering the hell that they went through in the united state that is so inhumane to treat people anywhere in the world like this and to fight for a country that is trying to undermine you at every step in the way you afto give these people total respect for in during hatred racism
sadly it was found out that we had run out of cash. The mistake was that the Super Buccaneer was not developed to its full potential. The Buccaneer was found out to be cheaper, faster and better at low level than the F111. As with all aircraft its the SAM that causes the problem. Not forgetting that the famed Duncan Sands Tory MP sounded the death knell for manned aircraft and unfortunately that mindset was embedded in the with the Defence Procurement side of government which of course was music to the ears for cancellation.
In life, they say timing is everything, it was just the wrong time for TSR.2...sadly.
@@militaryaviationtv Perhaps as with the Jaguar the French could have been brought on board to get it over the line, as Roland B said in the interview, the French Government believe and fund their aircraft industry.
Are flying with the reds all year. Is the gnats likely to bee seen flying at other events in the future
Depends on the Gnat Display Teams schedule.
Pretty impressive I remember it like yesterday. Was in my last year at Leeds Uni.
Sorry guys, we tried 7 times to go live, but as you can see, the Internet connection on the airfield is terrible! We'll try again over the weekend.
Nice day aswell
Where is Somalia now? We the United States Cannot change a country and its ways. The countries over there have always been engaged in war, We didn't change a thing and we lost troops lives over there!!
There is an important context missing in this documentary. What really angered the people was that videos were coming out, and Americans were abusing Somalis. There was one video specifically that triggered people showing a young boy being beaten by American soldiers
That should of never happen,and if it did happen , military did them boys dirty,, that's why u do Intel ,shit make a plan A,plan B ,plan C,,, give em credit they went in guns blazing to get to the chopper,but still u goin in blind in a country that there children are fighting n shooting, damn ,,
We are the lions 🦁 of the world 🌎 🤫
I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY ADS WERE ON THIS VIDEO, F THIS VIDEO AND THOSE WHO POSTED IT
You do realise you're on KZread? You should have seen the amount of ads that were auto-generated, before we removed 6! Thanks though for taking the time to comment.
I am a 70 yr old white dude. My Dad was a bomber pilot during WWII. His career ended in 1972. Dad never expressed any racially motivated words to me about crew members or support groups. My point is, he did not care where you were from or the color of your skin. He only cared if you can do your job. Even though this racial crap is still going on, my hat is off to my dad. He taught me about all the the beautiful cultures that exist all over the world. Thank you Dad!
Your dad sounds awesome...
It's a wonderful thing.,.. without BLACK FOLKS.... AMERICA...will SHUT DOWN. BE IT MILITARY, SPORTS, INDIGENOUS LAW ENFORCEMENT,HIP HOP, JAZZ, R&B, THE TOILET,(which black inventors painted it WHITE ON PURPOSE) AND SO ON.
White folks....at that time....saved the best for LAST....IN TERMS OF REINFORCEMENTS.😊
This documentary will not tell you about the Marines tried to give these guys the scoop. The Marines had been a peace keeping force, before army ever been to airport! The army told the Marines we do not need your information! So this is what you get!
Don’t try🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴
