There was some UA pilot trained in the US for 2-years at some top flight school then died within 2-weeks of air combat in UA. It's all good trying to win close air-to-air dogfights but when SAMs are capable of destroying even the best hypersonics, there is no more game. Useless training as even the new air-to-airs are far superior at maneuvering beyond what any top human can take. Basically, all this stuff looks cool but is lethally obsolete. It's not obsolete if it's not against 1st-world nations of course but a lot of 1st-world nations are giving their top equipment and tech to all the other countries so who knows what is really on the ground or even in the air.

A lot of folks in specialized lines of work won't watch movies or TV shows that feature that work because they get too irritated by the mistakes made in the presentation. A lot of police officers won't watch police procedural shows. Firefighters have the same issues with Backdraft and Ladder 49. It just requires too much suspension of disbelief to sit back and enjoy the movie. Of course, some *do* watch them just to scoff and make snarky comments over beers. Years ago I took the PADI basic open-water diving course. At the end of the course our instructor held a movie night, with pizza, soda (we were all too young for beer) at which The Abyss was the main attraction. Why? Because having completed the course we could now appreciate how bad most of the diving scenes were. When a bunch of college kids with nothing more than a basic scuba certification start yelling "No way!" and throwing snarky comments at your million dollar undersea epic... I would imagine that fighter pilots would do the same with Top Gun and the Iron Eagle series. Just...you probably wouldn't be able to air the footage, because so much of it would have to be bleeped out.

Dude lol.......the way that this guy casually chatters to the camera while telling a consistent story all the while absolutely vehemently checking controls, readouts....and on top of it all while talking with ATC like its a walk in the park is absolutely incredible.

Not that I think it's simple, or doesn't take skill, but managing 7 different cars in your drive thru at once, watching multiple screens on multiple registers, keeping the drive-time down, remembering which car you pulled forward has which meal to be sent out, checking your station to make sure everything is stocked, remembering to complete closing tasks as early as possible, keeping dishes washed if possible so closers don't have to do everything, and so on and so forth... Sometimes you have to do both drive-thru and lobby at the same time (eat-in) I'm pretty sure it's the same sensory overload, different job. You just need to be able to learn well and give yourself enough time and experience. And that's coming from someone who does both, albeit in simulators for the dogfighting.

It's all information, and I'd rather be learning that information than flipping burgers.

@@PsychoticWolfie I appreciate your perspective and the complexity of your job. However, comparing the two roles might be a bit like comparing apples to oranges. While both jobs require multitasking, attention to detail, and quick decision-making, the stakes and consequences of errors in a fighter jet are significantly higher. In a fast food job, a mistake might result in an incorrect order or a delay in service, which, while frustrating, is not life-threatening. In contrast, a mistake in a fighter jet could result in loss of life or millions of dollars in equipment. Moreover, the physical and mental demands of flying a fighter jet are immense. Pilots must withstand high G-forces, manage a multitude of complex systems, and make split-second decisions in high-stress situations. They also undergo rigorous training and selection processes to ensure they can handle these pressures. Lastly, the learning curve for each job is different. While both require memorization and understanding of protocols, the technical knowledge and skills required to fly a fighter jet are far more complex and specialized than those needed for a fast food job. In conclusion, while both jobs have their own unique challenges and complexities, the risks, demands, and skills required for flying a fighter jet are on a different scale.

@@Conrad914 Eh, it depends. Astronauts in training get G-force simulations in a centrifuge, and I believe fighter pilots may also get training with G-forces before flying themselves, but I could be wrong. A simulation can be as accurate to reality as you want it to be, assuming you have the resources. That's not to say that common downloadable simulators, even the best ones, even come close to providing a realistic experience. But the most complex and accurate ones only make me want to learn more and more about how to fly a fighter jet. Rather than finding it intimidating, I find it more and more interesting the more I learn about it, and realize just how much I actually haven't learned yet. I find my fast food job fun but I'd take the complexities of being a fighter pilot over it any day of the week, assuming I were in the position to do so.

And this is such an excellent experience on G forces. Thank you for making this! Your breathing alone tells all. And you're right. Thankfully games like DCS and VTOL are around, people actually do some pretty intense mission planning. Good to see!

I live right under an R.A.F Euro Fighter training path, the noise those things make when they're flying low is monstrous yet watching this it seems so calm when they're up there.

@@kimpedersen4746 In all genuine honesty it's just a much more difficult and higher stakes type of flying. While both Air Force and Navy fly similar model fighter jets, Air Force gets to land on land more often than not meanwhile Navy Pilots have to perform their flight hours at sea on the aircraft carrier. That means not only are you working 6 days a week operationally with no real outside communication / education resources, but you're landing on a 20 to 30 knot speed aircraft carrier into and trying to get your to tailhook to snag the steel arresting wire amidst your own control of the jet against the variable movement of the aircraft carrier and the ocean waves against it all to rapidly decelerate yourself to a proper landing... otherwise you're going overboard if you don't catch the last of the 4 steel wires and accelerate to stay airborne and try again. No shade to Air Force pilots intended at all, I just think it's a much more taxing training exercise in my personal opinion. Also, a lot more training exercises in Pacific water as you're sharing that ocean with the Russians and the Chinese, moreso 7th fleet than 3rd and 5th but still. Just higher stakes all round.

You spoke of heart rate. I think it would be interesting to see this type of scenario with some sort of overlaid biometric interface we the audience could see that shows airspeed, altitude, g-force, heartbeat and blood pressure. Probably a pipe dream but would definitely be fascinating. Thanks for sharing this content and thank you for your service and dedication. Fly safe.

Absolute legend! Thank you for making this video and getting it cleared for public so we can get such an incredible insight into being a fighter pilot.

This brings me back to BFM training in Holloman AFB back in 1982 with the T38. As a foreign student, it was so hard to turn around under g’s and also been able to make call outs and giving directions. Great instructors of the time. Some were Vietnam era pilot. I am still grateful to all those who thought me to be a pilot. Regards.

Top gun Maverick did a good job in capturing how these fighter jet works and gave us a perspective of the pilot.

Great video! A F-16 fighter pilot has been my dream job since I was 7 years old. I got the thought from watching Iron Eagle. I love the G forces on me. I'm a thrill-seeker kind of person. I was also known as a genius student at the same age. But when I was 10, I was diagnosed with epilepsy. The daily grand mal seizures messed up my memory so bad and I went from making years of straight A's to straight F's. I had brain surgery when I was 13 to try to stop my seizures but the neurosurgeon screwed up and erased my entire memory instead of stopping my seizures. It took me 6 years after that just to learn my name back. I learned patience under pressure from going through high school not knowing where I was, who I was, not knowing a word of English etc. Being yelled at, laughed at, made fun of and more by the students and staff. A family member of mine tried to be 1 and failed just 1 of the F-16 tests and kept on being something not much different. I've always wanted to take a flight in an F-16 though. I had to give up my dreams because of epilepsy so it would be awesome if the military took people up like me who are capable of doing a lot more than even the government knows. Hoping it wouldn't cost a fortune. A few things I said when I was 9, ended up becoming true over 20 years later.

thank you for your service sir and for taking us along for the ride and showing us what its like to be in the hotseat

Fun fact, the Air Force never denied an age waiver. It was such a guarantee that they upped the age to 33 instead of 30 to reduce the paperwork because of all the waivers. That being said, there are still age waivers sent in and they still get approved. Highest waiver I’ve heard was for 36yo for the Air National Guard, but the Air Force inevitably was the ones who approve or deny those requests.🤘🏽

Amazing. I can't imagine the stress this puts on you both mentally and physically. Do you think we'll continue to use manned aircraft for either air-to-air or air-to-ground combat for much longer?

I’m still in awe with what y’all can do up there. I was an Air Force brat that grew up next to Randolph AFB going to Chester’s burgers next to the base and being around pilots like yourself who were there for dinner and just being amazed that y’all get to do that for a job. That is seriously the coolest job on the planet! Thank you for everything that you’ve had to do, to do your job. I still envy y’all

It’s really impressive that the pilot can carry on such a discussion while leading a basic fighter maneuvers mission. The guys in this unit are among the best anyway. But still, to have that much spare bandwidth while flying such a mission is incredible.

Salute and thanks to you and all the others like you!!

This is some of the BEST narration of air combat manoeuvring I’ve been fortunate to listen to, as a Brit who trained in the States to flight instructor & had the privilege of being in the same airspace (albeit not military) observing these guys from afar, ultimate respect for your airmanship... my aviation career didn’t quite “take off” the way I’d planned but, to have experienced flight in your country (compared to the highly restricted airspace in the UK) & the access to fly into military fields on parallel runways with jet fighters was an experience I’ll never forget - btw listening to the breath holds & “puffs” to control blood flow (even wearing a G suit) was intoxicating 🤪 thanks for putting this online

Daddy was a radar man on a B-52 during the Cuba Crisis. He always liked about the Airforce that you may have had danger on a mission, but when it was over, you returned to the base and enjoyed yourself. The grunts were always in the dirt. The bomber crews were sad that they didn't see much of the damage they inflicted from the air and were eager to hear Army guys describe the damage they saw when given the chance.
