Yogscast - USA: Simon gives a tour of the flight deck

Simon gives us a tour of the USS Hornet flight deck and shares his knowledge of aircraft. Featuring a tiny plane that Q dropped for James Bond in the film "You only live twice" and a helicopter that once saved a US president.

Simon talking about the planes:


NAILED IT

7:30 That was an F14 tomcat... my god that's a sick plane. And Simon was right, the primary missile was an AIM-7 Sparrow and the missile that Simon pointed to was an AIM-9 Sidewinder. Nice!

I lived on an Aircraft Carrier for 4 years, and watching these videos are the most fun I have ever had on one.

[CJBintheHouse]

Simon knows about planes because he's a skylord.

[gallium]

Hey everyone. Hope all these years have been kind to you.

It feels like only yesterday I stumbled upon the Yogscast whilst looking for a strat video for Sartharion back in Wotlk. Their hilarious videos lead me on to find their equally insane podcast. It is amazing to see how far they have come in such a short time. I am so happy for the Yogscast team and how big they have grown as a channel and part of the community. I can only wish them the best of luck in the crazy adventures to come!

Yogscast! I SALUTE YOU! YOU HAVE THE BALLS!
