    Seeing an American F/A-18 flying with two Greek F-4’s, a F-15, F-16’s, and a tornado would’ve been an awesome sight
  • Great vid'. It captures all the drama of Naval air ops, the danger, excitement, fun, and the camaraderie.

    Cheers! I was ships company on the Forrestal (88-90) when your squadron was still flying the F-14A. Now THAT was an aircraft! FID is razor blades now but I read somewhere that its anchors went to the Truman so it's good to see that the spirit goes on. I wish we had the tech to save the memories with the folks back home and to remember years later so from an old salt thanks for sharing.
  • What an outstanding cruise video, great work. Thank you and all men and women of CCSG-8 for standing guard in Europe this year and protecting us, your service is very much appreciated. Love from Ireland.
  • Fantastic! Great to see the Rippers still clowning around and tearing up the skies. You will always have a place in my heart. Old Ripper from 72-75 AT-2 Cutler

    The topic makes it cool no matter what. The editing (looks like a lot of Gopro 360) knocks it out of the park. Absolutely outstanding.
  • One of the coolest video's ever. Well done, brought back a lot of memories. Former A-4 type, VA-94 1968-69
  • That was the absolute coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing.

    Here's to Us! Also thanks for NOT using all techo/ house music. The throwbacks where a breath of fresh air.

  • Some of the most memorable days of my life are my Med cruise with VF-11 in 1986. Red Rippers forever. I terminated shore duty to join VF-11. I wish I would have known at the time what an epic event it was.
