Fun fact: F-104 pilots gave their aircraft many fun names, including: “missile with a man in it”, “widow maker”, and “bullet and blades”, to name a few. It’s wings were so sharp that when it was on the ground it had to have special covers over them so that ground crew members didn’t hurt themselves (hence the bullets and blades name).

It had a pretty bad record with the Luftwaffe. The boundary layer control system that lowers the stall speed for landing would malfunction in the most awkward moments, like on short final. That, coupled with a downward ejection seat was lethal. Not to mention the German humidity (it certainly rains more than at Edwards airbase) would do quite a number on the electronics. Pile onto that, so much wing loading that it just can't turn with all the weight the Germans added to it to turn it into a multirole fighter.

My dad was an F-4 pilot at the time that Top Gun came out (309th, Homestead) and I distinctly remember going to the base theater to watch Top Gun, and it was filled with all of the pilots from three different squadrons of Phantom pilots at the time. Whenever flight maneuvers came on-screen, the cries of "Bullsh!t" rang loud and strong throughout the room.
RE: The F-104...Only the earliest jets had the downward-ejecting seats, because the seats of the time couldn't clear the tail at high speeds. That was quickly corrected. Yeager's flight was in an NF-104, a special jet with a rocket above the jet; intended for high altitude research.

The F-104 sequence was a recreation of Yeager's December, 1963 attempt to set a record for ground level to maximum altitude. The NF-104A he was flying was modified with a Rocketdyne liquid fuel motor attached for extra boost, once the aircraft reached high altitude where the jet engine was not getting enough air to remain running. The pilot would manually cut off the jet engine at a predetermined point in the flight profile. Once at altitude where the control surfaces lost effect, an RCS system installed in the wingtips and nose gave the pilot a measure of control through the ballistic arc. Yeager was unable to maintain the plane within the flight envelope and was forced to eject. The injury to his face was from burning material from his ejection seat motor. Luckily, the blood caked on his face protected his eye from the heat and prevented its loss. The flight was not an unscheduled jaunt as depicted in the movie, but a preplanned profile.

Good comment I remember reading about this in Aviation Week, and or Yeager his autobiography. Not too many people including aviation geeks, know about the NF-104 program. I was always a little disappointed they couldn't show the little rocket engine under the rudder but above the jet exhaust nacelle looked so cool.
My dad flew A-10s. a little bit cowboyish is a perfect description of him and the guys he flew with. Despite their antics, I would trust any one that flew a10s with him with my life.
RIP Chuck Yeager, GOAT!

You can't do that today in the USAF, waaaaay too much accountability and the aircraft can't just be started and hopped into anymore like an old bus.
I know I’m way too late to the party because KZread despises everything you guys stands for and didn’t recommend your videos to me but I’m glad I found these videos you guys are the best
I was flying F-4s when Top Gun came out. We went to the flicks as a group out of the squadron. Loved the cinematography and laughed out load at the tactics and the TG Schoold scenes. However, the O-Club scenes were highly realistic at the time. We had a blast flying the Rhino...Craven was pat of the back end of that culture.

"The ocean will fuck you up!" One of the greatest react statements of all time.
I was working at Lockheed in Burbank back around 1980, I was in the library for older aircraft. Came across a maintenance manual for a modified F-104. What intrigued me was it was a highly modified A/C. It had “thrusters”!! The SAME type used in spacecraft!! Spent many hours reading it.
In real life the Chuck Yeager F-104 crash was a modified airframe called the NF-104A modified with a rocket engine for ultra high altitude flight training for what was supposed to be the first USAF Astronauts. Read Yeagers autobiography, it's amazing.

9:50 mark, they are launching the Japanese planes off the back of the carrier... which was the USS Lexington. To make it seem Japanese, they parked all the planes on the bow and had them "takeoff" aft, then rearranged the deck with B-25s for the USS Hornet shoot.

Been to Pearl Harbor. They turned some hangers into museum exhibits. They restore planes on site. They had WWII vets there every day to talk to visitors. The USS Missouri was awesome. The Arizona memorial was unique in a way I can’t put into words. Sadly, some visitors were glued to their phones or had unchecked kids that didn’t get it and acted up.

Funny story, my father's callsign was Maverick. Got it after a maverick didn't eject off the weapon pylon on his F4 properly and so it tore off and ended up with the warhead sticking up in the cockpit. This was right after he had gotten to his first squadron so his callsign was born that day. Fast forward a few years and Top Gun comes out. Considering he was in the Air Force and at the time was an instructor at Fighter Weapons School at Nellis his callsign was immediately changed and Irish was born. Fast forward a few years and we are at Osan AFB and he's the OPS Group commander. Tom Cruise shows up promoting Interview with a Vampire and if I remember correctly Planet Hollywood opening in Seoul. I get a chance to meet him and being the snot nosed kid I was I walked right up to him and said "You forced my father to change his callsign because of that stupid movie that made people think the Navy could actually fly." He was actually a cool guy about it. One of the guys from my Dad's F16 squadron at Osan was the one who took him up that he's talked about on Top Gear and other places. He bought the squadron a movie theater popcorn maker and to the best of my knowledge to this day is still having popcorn, butter, oil, salt, etc sent over 4 times a year. This concludes boring story that random people on the internet care nothing about lol.

Not boring...I cruise the youtube comments to pick up cool tidbits of info and stories. Thanks for sharing. My Tom Cruise story...I didn't get to talk with him, but pretty close. He was racing in about 1992 after Days of Thunder with the Newman Sharpe team at Pocono Raceway. He crashed his car so we went down near the pits to get closer. We were about 20ft from him while he was chewing someone out. My first thought was, he's a lot shorter in person.
these need to be 30 minutes minimum

I wanna take off from a carrier Someday before I die Strap that Viper to a catapult And watch that sucker fly Two hundred knots in under two seconds That's my kind of fun Do a barrel roll right after takeoff Just like in Top Gun But I don't Wanna land Allow me to explain And you'll understand 'Cause it ain't about the landing Why would I care? You never have a crosswind And you never have to flare You got four fuckin' wires How could you miss? I can't think of anything That's easier than this Though once you're on the deck, my friend You're never the same again 'Cause you're stuck on a boat In the middle of nowhere With five thousand other men

I'd actually like to see u do a segment on A-10's. I don't think they get enough public credit for how many troops they have saved with their close air support. My brother flew one in the AF and I've heard plenty of instances besides from the veterans I'm friends with. One brother Navy and dad Army. Everyone says they need to go but I don't think so. Hopefully with the increase in the military budget their new wings have come about that were so badly needed.

Loved this!!! And GOTTA USE THE A10 scenes from TERMINATOR SALVATION ! It’s bad ass and was wrote specifically in becasue AI wouldn’t be able to control it being such a a mechanical old school jet. Awesome scenes.

My da was a USAF pilot 1950-1970. Most of his time was flying the F-86 & F-104. He's 92 and Old Man Time is taking it's toll, but once in awhile his eyes will clear and his gaze will settle on his pictures in the family room and you just know he's at the 45,000 ft ripping through mach 2.
The going to Florida to hit home for me. When I flew as a UH-60 crew chief and flying stateside going to get food was the best part especially when the PI bought.

@@skimask5049 I did briefly look I to it about the kenosha shooter's the affiliation with black rifle. As to my knowledge there is no evidence pointing to them supporting to take guns away from people. In my opinion it seems they didnt want to make a profit or seem like they were about making money off of the the incident involving Kyle wearing their brand t shirt. Also walmart is far left and i still shop there. Black rifle has damn good coffee and i see no unethical actions on their part. So they will get my business.

If I was a fighter pilot I'd go by my call sign everywhere.
I read somewhere that some South African Airforce pilots made a (unsanctioned!) bombing run on a US carrier before the first Desert Storm. Apparently the US Navy decided to fare through South African waters and the pilots didn't want to let them cross unharrased. This was just as South Africa started to get out of the apartheid era, so we had an uneasy relationship - and the pilots had their pride to take care of. So this bunch took a DC-3 (which were still pretty much in general service in the sanctioned SAAF) and diverted their path from "general patrol" to "torpedo the US Navy". They probably saw the carrier group by chance when they decided to make a bombing run on the carrier, then high tail it back to base. So they did exactly that, but they weren't too far from the carrier group when they noticed two F-14's flying beside the old Dakota, their brakes fully opened and landing gear down as they tried to slow themselves enough to stay in formation! When they got back to base they had received a message from the USN thanking them for the vintage aircraft fly-by!
Flying a DC-3 is like driving big ole Cadillac. ☺️
I like how the younger pilot was like yea thats kinda unrealistic did you do that when you were a pilot and hes just like yea

I would def be ok if this turns into like a half hour episode everytime or , and maybe I'm being really ambitious but, what if you started a veterans react podcast type thing and have hour long episodes? I just feel like so much of the cool interactions that happen when you get vets to talking about stuff gets lost because you have to cut so much for time. But that's an outside looking in perspective not a criticism, I love these videos and I get excited everytime a new one comes out and I would not complain if it ended up not changing and just stayed the same fun 15 ish minute episodes. Awesome either way IMO
The right stuff: Its the f104 in the movie but it wasn't the f104 in reality. And actually he went not high enough which resulted in the flat spin
