Seeing as this video has blown up in recent days and received far more views than I anticipated I wanted to clear a few things up I see in a lot of comments: 1. The deck crew is not “slow.” A carrier operates in cycles. That is scheduled launch times and recovery times. Typically the Hawkeye is the first launch on a cycle. We get lined up on the cat early so that we can launch often down to the second as scheduled. What you can’t see in this video is the conga line of jets lined up behind us as well as in the waist catapults ready to launch approximately every 60 seconds once the cycle begins. You even hear me remark just before launch that they put us into tension about a minute early. 2. The audio takes a significant quality hit between being recorded on an iPhone and then processed into video editing software. It doesn’t sound nearly as bad in the actual helmet speakers. 3. There are numerous radio frequencies intentionally not recorded and excluded from this audio. Often times a crew member is responding on ICS to something they heard on one of the radios making their statement seem strange without context to viewers of this video. If a crew member is expressing their frustration, for example, it is NOT directed at the flight deck crew but rather to radio calls that we hear in our helmets. 4. Keep in mind there are 5 of us in the aircraft. Up front it may seem like we’re giving a running commentary of things that may seem obvious. That’s because they’re not obvious to the three crew members in the aft portion of the aircraft who have little outside visibility (especially when the wings are folded). We give a play-by-play so everyone in the crew is always aware of where we are on the flight deck and how far along in the launch process we are.

You are not hearing his thought process. And, he is not doing it for the benefit of KZhead viewers. He is following standard procedure narrating everything he and the co-pilot are doing, as well as narrating what the deck crew personnel are doing, so the 3 officers in the rear of the aircraft (mission commander, radar officer, and aircraft control officer) know what is going on. Those 3 crew members in the rear can not see the cockpit and only have 3 small windows on the starboard side. There are no windows on the port side because that is where their radar workstations are located. While taxiing on the carrier deck the wings are folded back which completely blocks the 3 windows.

I made three cruises on the America, CV 66, 1975 - 1978. Fifty or so of us lived in the “49” compartment, port side right about at the water line well forward. Pretty small space but we were at home. You work 12 hours a day, 7 to 7 and shift from nights to days or vice versa when you leave a port. Long lines for meals, midrats for the guys on nights, short “navy showers”, I loved the food but a lot of guys hated it, I was fortunate to be an enlisted aircrewman in the E2-C as an AT2 so I flew most days/nights. Pretty tough for married guys but being single I loved it. When you’re 21 or 22 you don’t realize what an amazing adventure it is to live and work on an aircraft carrier for seven months at a time, but as the years go by it dawns on you that selling insurance or working in a bank or whatever boring time consuming bill paying occupation you find yourself in is nothing , absolutely nothing, compared to the days of your youth when you sailed the seas and saw the world and worked on amazing airplanes and flew on and off an aircraft carrier hundreds of times and didn’t have a worry in the world.

After reading many comments about Hawkeyes. My brother was in RVAW 110 at Maramare in 1976 when I joined. I was in stationed at NTC San Diego for A school so, I was able to visit him and was able to see the E2s for the first time. It was such an awesome thing being in the Navy and later worked as an AT where I made the first Med Cruise on the IKE in 78-79 with VA66.. Those E2s you really had to watch out for on the deck when turning at night because of their props. It was hard to tell where they were since the lower frequency they produce from the props, you could only feal in your chest where high frequencies are very directional which jets prduce. You can hear where the sound is coming from even though you where hearing attenuators. Yes I know the E2 are turbo prop jets but the prop noise is louder. On a dark night you really had to watch the advisor lights (aircraft red flashing lights) all the time even after your eyes adjusted to the dark. It did seam like a long time to launch but there are alot going on all over thst flight deck and it's alot of work to get all those birds off that deck safety and at night it's worse or in bad weather. Just remember it's 24/7 day or night, good or bad weather. I salute anyone who served both officers and enlisted now because I have been there and you know who you are. BZ.

Hey Bud...this is such a GREAT VID! These teams deserve so more credit than they get!!!
Seeing as this video has blown up in recent days and received far more views than I anticipated I wanted to clear a few things up I see in a lot of comments: 1. The deck crew is not “slow.” A carrier operates in cycles. That is scheduled launch times and recovery times. Typically the Hawkeye is the first launch on a cycle. We get lined up on the cat early so that we can launch often down to the second as scheduled. What you can’t see in this video is the conga line of jets lined up behind us as well as in the waist catapults ready to launch approximately every 60 seconds once the cycle begins. You even hear me remark just before launch that they put us into tension about a minute early. 2. The audio takes a significant quality hit between being recorded on an iPhone and then processed into video editing software. It doesn’t sound nearly as bad in the actual helmet speakers. 3. There are numerous radio frequencies intentionally not recorded and excluded from this audio. Often times a crew member is responding on ICS to something they heard on one of the radios making their statement seem strange without context to viewers of this video. If a crew member is expressing their frustration, for example, it is NOT directed at the flight deck crew but rather to radio calls that we hear in our helmets. 4. Keep in mind there are 5 of us in the aircraft. Up front it may seem like we’re giving a running commentary of things that may seem obvious. That’s because they’re not obvious to the three crew members in the aft portion of the aircraft who have little outside visibility (especially when the wings are folded). We give a play-by-play so everyone in the crew is always aware of where we are on the flight deck and how far along in the launch process we are.
Nice video, thanks for posting!
Awesome. thanks for doin this
Love it
Is there footage of them trapping back on board?
That's great information to have and I appreciate you making this comment. I'm still wondering though, what were you guys grumpy about?
“I don’t know anything about boats. I just know what a carrier looks like.” A Navy man who keeps it simple and focussed.
That cracked me up... But hey he knows what his one looks like to make sure they get home.
I love the running commentary about what the shooter is doing "given' him the salute, he's looking around, he's looking at *something* pressure, he's looking aft, he's looking back at us, he's touched the deck, he's looking forward" and then of course "OH YEAH....REAL GOOD!" I appreciate you keeping the folks in the back informed as my daughter hopes to serve an an E-2 NFO later this year!
Hope she's doing good now. (?)
you ma'am have a badass daughter!
It's amazing hearing their thought process. When launching from the cat "OK, he's looking aft, and now he's looking back at us". Brilliant stuff. Total respect for these guys.
You are not hearing his thought process. And, he is not doing it for the benefit of KZhead viewers. He is following standard procedure narrating everything he and the co-pilot are doing, as well as narrating what the deck crew personnel are doing, so the 3 officers in the rear of the aircraft (mission commander, radar officer, and aircraft control officer) know what is going on. Those 3 crew members in the rear can not see the cockpit and only have 3 small windows on the starboard side. There are no windows on the port side because that is where their radar workstations are located. While taxiing on the carrier deck the wings are folded back which completely blocks the 3 windows.
@@jamesf.ryaniii7918 I was a back seater in an S3 Viking and our pilot and COTAC did the same thing so we knew what was happening prior to and right before launch.

The POV of the acceleration at 7:34 is impressive.

“That’s a cruiser”, “I don’t know anything about boats, I know what a carrier looks like. “ 😂😂
I made three cruises on the America, CV 66, 1975 - 1978. Fifty or so of us lived in the “49” compartment, port side right about at the water line well forward. Pretty small space but we were at home. You work 12 hours a day, 7 to 7 and shift from nights to days or vice versa when you leave a port. Long lines for meals, midrats for the guys on nights, short “navy showers”, I loved the food but a lot of guys hated it, I was fortunate to be an enlisted aircrewman in the E2-C as an AT2 so I flew most days/nights. Pretty tough for married guys but being single I loved it. When you’re 21 or 22 you don’t realize what an amazing adventure it is to live and work on an aircraft carrier for seven months at a time, but as the years go by it dawns on you that selling insurance or working in a bank or whatever boring time consuming bill paying occupation you find yourself in is nothing , absolutely nothing, compared to the days of your youth when you sailed the seas and saw the world and worked on amazing airplanes and flew on and off an aircraft carrier hundreds of times and didn’t have a worry in the world.
I love these flying videos of life in the US Navy and especially reading all the comments from veterans and those presently serving, and all the unique stories, humour and banter. Launching and trapping onto a postage stamp "runway" in the ocean earns my utmost respect! Best wishes and blessings to you all from a civilian Kiwi who has flown nothing more than a gaggle of bug smashing Pipers and Cessnas a couple of decades ago. Thank you for your valuable service for our collective freedoms, David. 🛫🛬⚓🎖😀

Roger - Good to see you on this. You were a good one!
Yep. The Hawkeye’s instrumentation was so bad, that the FAA wouldn’t sign off on it

First of all, thank you and all your shipmates for your service! As a civilian working for the Navy for almost 40 years I always wanted to go out to work on a carrier at sea just so I could experience a launch. Very cool. It's also nice to see the work we do during overhauls and upkeeps working to keep us all free. My first day at work as a 17 year old kid I was walked on the USS Constellation and have been in awe of our Navy ever since. Thanks again for your service and stay safe out there!!
The Connie was my dads ship back in the late 70s till 81. He handled all the vert reps they did. then store keeper.
I was a sailor, I also became an ATC few years later. We've all seen carriers, I RASed them, had the chance to even board one in harbour. This was my first look of taxiing on deck, crew location and jobs, including the nicest view/feeling it/like you're in the plane literally catapulted off. I kept watching as you passed an escort, watching the waves... beautiful. Thank you for sharing a tiny piece of what I would call... A dream job. o7

This takes me back! I was a ATN2 with VAW 122 (hummagators later to be called steeljaws, now decommissioned) on the USS America in Vietnam.

Reminds me a little of the conversations heard in our comms on my fire truck while on the road. It isn't always friendly for work but it's always a good time. I wish I could recorded them over the years (but without Admin being able to hear them, lol).
This is an amazing video! Love hearing the communications and plane! What an amazing experience
Thank you for your service, and the vital service you provide to your air groups! Your job might not get to be as flashy as the ones firing missiles or dropping bombs on the bad guys, but you give them directions, and advanced warning of anything that they might face! Salute to you and your fellow crews!
GJD. This by far is one of the best Navy Videos I've seen AND one of the funniest. (internal audio after launch) Just watching the Deck Crew going through each motion and job is mind boggling (hey, I'm Army and have a inkling of what each does) before the Hawkeye's flight.

After reading many comments about Hawkeyes. My brother was in RVAW 110 at Maramare in 1976 when I joined. I was in stationed at NTC San Diego for A school so, I was able to visit him and was able to see the E2s for the first time. It was such an awesome thing being in the Navy and later worked as an AT where I made the first Med Cruise on the IKE in 78-79 with VA66.. Those E2s you really had to watch out for on the deck when turning at night because of their props. It was hard to tell where they were since the lower frequency they produce from the props, you could only feal in your chest where high frequencies are very directional which jets prduce. You can hear where the sound is coming from even though you where hearing attenuators. Yes I know the E2 are turbo prop jets but the prop noise is louder. On a dark night you really had to watch the advisor lights (aircraft red flashing lights) all the time even after your eyes adjusted to the dark. It did seam like a long time to launch but there are alot going on all over thst flight deck and it's alot of work to get all those birds off that deck safety and at night it's worse or in bad weather. Just remember it's 24/7 day or night, good or bad weather. I salute anyone who served both officers and enlisted now because I have been there and you know who you are. BZ.

Thank you for posting. The instrumentation has improved substantially since the days when I flew the E-2C. We were all steam gauges back then.
Steam gauges? I’ve never heard of that on airplanes. Just old trains. So then is this airplane really old but fixed up with all the modern “toys”? Or are these still being built new? Thanks.
@@andysmith6824 Mr. Philips can give you a better answer, but this is an E-2D, built with the so-called “glass cockpit” of multi-function displays you see here as well as 8 swept blade props, other mods I’m sure, but steam gauges are the old round dials w tic marks & actual moving parts to show changes in whatever. Don’t know if the Navy rebuilt an earlier mark, but I know there are new build E-2Ds in service. Doubtful they updated old airframes to E-2D status-flight ops at sea have to put wear and tear on these birds. Not a pilot, just an airplane nerd.

WOW! Phantastic Video. I was working as Technical Planer at Eurowings, when this Airline was operating ATR 42/72. Could visit the cockpit during take off and landing. Was before 9/11. Nothing to this take-off. Thank you.
Awesome video! I was in VC5 , Cubi point, Philippines. We flew S2C and A4s. Mostly delivered mail to the carriers and bases in Vietnam. Great experience. I was stationed at DaNang twice, not such a good experience.
One of the best roof videos I've seen. I used to love hearing that prop pitch change when then the E2C's were on the cat.
Thank you for your service young man
I never get tired of watching this. You guys are seriously too cool
Эти ребята крутые до тех пор, пока с российским СУ не встречаются. А дальше у этих ребят говно начинает по ляжкам течь
Absolutely amazing!!! Most dangerous, yet well organized and run military work environment in the entire US DOD!!!
The Hawkeye guys were always so chilled!
Thank you guys for doing what you do,,so I can do what I am doing. My 56 years on this planet is possible because of people like you!!! Bravo men and women of our great country service people,, bravo!!👍👍👍🤗🙂
Thank you. I sense the lift as the E-2 separates from the shuttle and exceeds stall speed.
Congratulations skilled Navy pilots. Short and accurate takeoff.👏👏
I was aboard the USS CORAL SEA CV-43 WESTPAC 79-80. I wish You and ALL of You Fair Winds and Following Seas. GOD BLESS, SEMPER FI !!!
Thanks for your service. Great Video
Never gets old, I love it
It’s funny to seethe speed gauge going up like crazy til 120-140 when they leave the deck
thank you for pointing out, missed that, also looked at the time 7:35 - 7:38 (3 sec catshot) slightly slower than a Fighter because of the airframe.
So coooool
Where are you seeing the airspeed? I've watched this video a few times and I'm not able to see what you're mentioning. Thanks!
@@timothyosborn1697 being an aviator myself was hard to see but the display on the panel almost center / center left with the blue top and brown bottom is the attitude indicator, to the left of that is the speed, again very hard to see, but if you zero in (focus in) you can see the speed. AGAIN, very hard to see. Start here AGAIN :-) 7:35, you should see the left kinda like a SCROLLBAR moving. Initially starts at 50 KNOTS which is just NO SPEED. I hope this helps, if not, then ask and I will add more. I am so Glad that @Klaus Pallesen made that observation. I will always note this in the future.
Awesome video! Would you be okay with me featuring this in an episode of Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.
Ayo its fucking lucaas, and This guys is getting ignored? Btw, im fan, good content lucaas 👍
Not at all
@@alonee_.the guy is probably deployed somewhere. Video was uploaded couple years ago
dude is annoying@@alonee_.
@lucaas you gonna pay him some of that ad revenue?
The sound of the props actually make me sleepy. I love that sound!
Awesome insight as to how it's done Thnx for the insight Mission Accomplished
Aviation is beautiful. I love watching planes take off and land.
This may be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
Quite possibly my most favorite aviation Vid now! This was awesome!
Pure gold! AFT Thank you.
Hoping there’s more content to come! This is pretty cool
"Oh yeah, real good"( as in good cat )... classic! That's in the manual BTW. I could watch and listen to ops all day.
G J D, you have presented some excellent videos. I myself was a Navy Aviation Officer Candidate in the early 70s and, unfortunately, DORed due to having trouble with math. I was an English major. But I look back and often wonder if I could have succeeded had I more confidence. Naval aviators, regardless of platform flown, are the best flyers on Earth.
I was a crew member on the E2B off the Forestall, 1970 -1976 . Great aircraft . Electronics back then was all vacuum tubes . Impossible to maintain in a high shock environment.
This popped up today, loved watching it. So dearly miss the time I served with VAW-124 on CVN-71. As the shit hot 4.0 sailor I was I actually got to fly the E2C. These are still the best days of my life. BEAR ACE 603 YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!! I still think of the crew that were lost especially Lt Messier and LtJg Forwalder you were not only part of the crew you were my friends. Goggle remembering Bear ACE 603 to read the story. I was on deck that night. 😢
TR 1993. My third ship and deployment
I miss my days flying S-3's and racing the E-2 to 7 miles on the first cat shots of the cycle. I bet with the new props you guys could have given us a run for our money.
The S-3 was one hell of a platform.
The hoovers were amazing.
I loved the sound of those Hoover turnups.
Viking, correct?
@@silvirhunter3607 Yes, the S-3 Viking
Audio adds so much. Thanks!
Hey Bud...this is such a GREAT VID! These teams deserve so more credit than they get!!!
