Growler Jams is a fascinating series of narration by a Navy F-18 pilot performing various flight ops. I can't link to it because it is prohibited. You can find it easily on Youtube.

If you like aviation videos this is well worth the time.

Awesome YouTube channel, I’ve watched a few videos.

I’m wondering how the CO of aircraft carrier approved this filming and allowed it to be on the web ?
 
That’s a VERY sensitive, high tech jamming aircraft…… not a low tech 40 year old C-130 from USAF.

I’m sure he’s got some viewers from Russia, Iran, China and North Korea watching all his videos very, very closely…..

:unsure:

Off Topic:
I’m jealous of this Growler pilot. (y)

I like Roy Roy. He makes the C-2 Greyhound sound like it's a blast. A lot of his content is diverse though, like living in a camper van and his aircraft broker business. But he's got a lot of videos of C-2 cat shots and arrested landings.

The video on the home page is what he called a "distinguished visitor" landing. Apparently just going straight in and not a carrier break which these pilots apparently prefer. I suppose they don't want a Congressman to lose his lunch or anything, or maybe just complain about the rough ride.

I heard these "carrier onboard delivery" pilots are really popular. He said something about occasionally delivering pizzas.
