This is a home video of my cousin (who later went on to fly F-14 tomcats) when he was training off the coast of Flordia to land on a carrier. This was filmed in the 1970's. He is flying a training jet of some sort.

- Great video, but...
Since I am in the military (AF), I love these kind of videos. Just a few things though. There is no way this video was shot in the 70's. The quality is way to clear. Secondly, the person in the video is a LT CMDR (O-4) and would not be in training to fly a new jet that late in his career.

- I know this guy
We served together on the USS Sodomite. He was gay and got kicked out because he harrassed the negro cooks. These days he lives in Kentucky and calls himself danny12. He even posts comments in metacafe clips. Sad case. Works in pizza deliveries as a "boy"

And F-18's entered service in the early 1980's, which are clearly visible on the deck during landing.

- To Bingo and everyone else . . .
that thinks the F/A-18's entered service in the early eighties, you are all wrong. In 1973, the Navy was looking for a cheaper version of the F-14 and they finally came up with the F/A-18. The Hornet entered service around 1978, and I quote wikipedia, "McDonnell rolled out the first F/A-18A on 13 September 1978, marked with "Navy" on the left and "Marine Corps" on the right. It took its first flight on 18 November." That is when they were first being released and then it took time to finally retire all the other jets such as the F-4's and A-7E's and A-6's. So it was probably rare to see an aircraft carrier with that many hornets on it in the 1970's therefore this video was probably made in the 1980's or maybe even the 1990's.

But don't go around saying that the Hornets are an 80's jet, cause you are wrong.2472947 - 2

The Lockheed/Martin F/A-18 Hornet was built only to replace the A-7 Corsair II in carrier service.

Either way, you have to appreciate it....notice that left bank he makes as he comes to the carrier to reduce airspeed than hits full power as he lands in case he misses the wire....best footage I've ever seen of a carrier landing. Period.3333870 - 3

Good video. This is definitely an S-3 Viking (HOOVER as we called them). You can tell by the TF-34 engines that sounds like a vacuum cleaner. They were initially built in 1972 and intro'ed to the Navy in 1974. There were 187 of them built between 74-78. They were primarily used as sub hunters but eventually turned into full time flying gas stations. They are all decommisioned except for a couple of squadrons in Jacksonville, Fl. with their end coming close. The pilot is a LCDR and looking at the helmet design...possibly from VS-21 stationed with the USS Kitty Hawk until they were decom'ed a couple of years back. FYI...the pilot is also not using an oxygen mask but has a mike close to his mouth which is another indication that he is in an S-3. All other carrier fast jet pilots use the oxygen mask. Judging by the configuration of the aircraft on the carrier..looks doesn't look that old. Just info from a guy that was in an S-3 squadron! Hope this helps clear some air!

Having spent more than a few years in Naval aviation, this looks like an A-6 Intruder to me.
By BT57 1226584311 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
the f-14 was built around the pheonix missile. the navy needed an all-weather and a multirole jet. which is the reason why they got rid of the tomcat. sux though. hornets S**k i know this cuz i work on em and i love the 14. we just decommed the 14 almost a year ago. that is either an s-3 or a prowler. and that windscreen shows it's an s-3.
By yaboi40 1177709377 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
now that sum one said it. the s-3 is a 4 seater a/c. i know i was on cruise wit em and they sound exactly like a hoover. i hated that. they decommin soon though so we can use that gay a** super hornet.

we do have a training command that trains every pilot on the east coast. we even had a former co of a marine squadron come through. i think he was co of the marine squadron that 106 attached me to. look up vfa-106. they train and retrain pilots. and the f-14 came into service in 1972. so at that time he could have been converting from the f-4 phantom. just to tell ya.

I find it hard to believe that anyone that knows anything about Naval aircraft would think this is anything other than an S-3. Plain and simple, that is what it is. sounds like it, looks like it. great video!!! not from the 70's though. the pilot is a LCDR, you can see his oak leaf on his shoulder.

was a government camera. Videotaping flight from inside the cockpit is a no-no. Not to say I haven't done it along with every other pilot in the service. There have been at least two air to air collisions resulting from aircrews making
"hero films" while flying in formation. Interesting, but when you're flying a fingertip formation while looking through your viewfinder, if the camera is set to wide-angle, you believe there is more space between you than there really is. For this reason, I doubt the camera was government issue. Nice flim though.

For those of you who don't know anything about military aircraft, the aircraft in this video is an S3-b Viking. I did 9 yrs in the navy, one of my last squadrons was a S3 squadron. Turbo fan engines sound like no other, and the S3 has two of them. Who ever thought this was an EA6-B should keep their thoughts to themselves.

I do find it an amazing video and i do admire the skill of the pilot but you said the film was taken form the 70's. I myself am struggling to understand why a home made video from the 70's in in such clear perspective, its looks like an up to date video as usually the footage from the 70's era has hair line smudges all over it but yet the film is crystal clear is it not?

Look at the pristine video quality. Even professional tv cameras wasn't this good in the seventies. To me it looks like they're using a dv camera or something. My guess is that this is tops ten years old.

This could be an s-3 viking. They have side by side seating as well.
By 19dcavscout 1163886046 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
It does look and sound like an A-6 and they are a side by side seating arrangement. But I couldn't imagine them using an A-6 for training pilots. I know that T-2 buckeyes were used, but they were a front-back seater jet.
By Solman 1163830444 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
- Not an A-6
I was just watching the video again and came to realize that it is definitely not an A-6. A-6's have the refueling boom on the nose of the jet, just in front of the cockpit.

The pilot's wearing a boom mike. Intruder pilots wore oxygen masks with the radio mike integrated with the mask. This is an S-3 Viking.
