Spectacular footage of F/A-18 Hornets and Super Hornets as they takeoff and land aboard an aircraft carrier. Impressive footage of the aircraft as they fly at low levels above the water, conduct banking and rolling maneuvers at high speed, and make high speed passes over the carrier in tandem formation and Bombing in Syria. Filmed from the cockpit and pilot point-of-view.
Film Credits: Lt. Ian Schmidt, Lt. J.G. Michael Hatfield, Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jared King

This is certainly one of the best flight videos I have seen. It's not just endless flying with annoying music.
Be sure to maximize your video size. I hope you like this as much as I did.

Very cool vid. Thanks for posting.
Remember to keep these brave men in your prayers.
As well as their families seeing as how they are now being targeted.

That’s crazy. It is just a bunch of short videos taken from the cockpit of an FA-18.

"There is NOTHING pornographic/adult content or violent about this video. --" Agreed, but of course if you are using your employer's assets to surf the web while you are supposed to be doing productive work, well --

Maybe they are on break?
Agree though the Internet at work is strictly for work. However, I always see people, on break, going on Facebook and ESPN. I think they are crazy, and would never do it.

Amazing.These guys are as blasé doing Mach 0.98 about 50 feet above the ocean as I am doing 70mph on I-95.This old Army guy is looking forward to the show the Navy has scheduled next spring at an Air Force Base near me!
