From the Cockpit: Strike Fighter Ball 2014

We’ve seen the West Coast Hornet Ball, thanks to our good friend and compatriot Wingnut. The Australians have thrown their hat into the mix, and did a darn fine job. So where are the bros from the Strike Fighter Wing Atlantic?!

Ladies and gentlemen, you need look no further, for here it is: The 2014 Strike Fighter Ball. Thanks to No, Everything Productions, this video is–much like the others you’ve seen of this nature–a stunner. It is beautifully shot and edited, has decent music, and offers the unique perspectives of U.S. Naval Aviation.

We can only speak for ourselves, but we never get tired of watching this stuff. Granted, there’s only a few places you can mount a GoPro in the cockpit, so although things may look similar, this video is just as unique as the other two. It also includes targeting pod video from Operation Inherent Resolve–the current undertaking to pulverize ISIS and its infrastructure.
