Yeah I agree 110%, imagine having worked really hard for a long time. Achieving an incredible feat and then ruining it by being authentic, letting your emotions show through, fucking immature children
I'd pick B2, it's big, spacious, has kitchen and bedroom, won't get cramped up like in F-22 and won't be on a wobbling washing machine the entire time like in A-10
Remember guys, there’s more people that have gone to space than have been a B-2 pilot. That dude’s bloodline probably hasn’t even seen a traffic ticket
If anyone wants to know how RARE being a B2 pilot is. There are only 80 pilots who fly B2 stealth bombers. You must have a clean record, have a recommendation from a wing commander, have endorsements, have thousands of hours flying, combat experience, etc. Whoever gets that privilege earned it.
Its a great thought, but my assumption is these guys are relatively new pilots (and they usually like older boys or atleast people with more proven flight time) so probably not gonna be flying anything classified...yet
my dad (us air force) flew f-15s for 23 yrs, my mom (us air force) flew c-17s for 25+ years. they both devoted their lives but when the war ukraine vs russia came, they were sent to help. they both lost their lives. RIP mom and dad! love you!!
I'm sorry for your loss, but you lost your parents for a corrupt cause. I'm a vet from the Bush administration. I've learned that all governments are evil; even those portraying to be on the side of the people.
Just for reference, some quick google searches revealed the approximate cost of these three planes: A-10 ( no longer produced) costs around $20 million, or roughly $50 million in today’s dollars. F-22 costs around $350 million. B-2 costs around $2 billion. It’s clear who the sharpest pilot is.
@@andrewmaclean9810 B-2's are INCREDIBLY hard to qualify for, guy might've been somewhat disappointed he didn't get a jet, but he didn't look at all disappointed to get a B-2
@@austingivens244 Oh for sure, I didn't mean it like that. I'm just thinking like ya know most of these guys probably dreamed of becoming fighter pilots as kids, and then you achieve it but maybe not in the way you imagine. As much of an honor flying a B2 is, it's simply aint gonna be as fun as flying an F35, even if its a bigger deal to actually get the seat.
@@andrewmaclean9810 Oh definitely, completely agree. Someone else commented something like "More people go to space than people get to fly B-2s. I bet not even his parents got a speeding ticket" just to say hoe gatd it is to get to fly them lol Flying a B-2 must be an honor, but definitely a different kind of fun from an F22 and such.
Eh, not really. He can get called for anything. They fly those ALL THE TIME. I see them very often flying by my house. He’s not an Apollo Astronaut in the way that they wouldn’t let them drive sometimes and always had people outside their houses (they had neighborhoods built specifically for all the Apollo Astronauts to live together in. Imagine being a child and having a cockpit with every Apollo astronaut).
@@cody7068 They're flying by your house because they're training for the route to perfection, so that when they get the call, they can drop it on your house with pinpoint accuracy. 👌
not really i’m not a genius but i’m sure they’ve don’t 1000’s of off the book missions . I mean what’s the point of a stealth bomber if your not gonna use it
I heard they can depart the USA, drop payload in Afghanistan and return to USA in one sortie. So that's kinda neat. He'll still see his family while in active deployment of sorts
No one is talking about how hilarious the bios are on all of these guys with their strengths and weaknesses. Strength- almost a captain, weakness- almost a captain. lol
@@Footballfan928the F22 and A-10 guys got excited cuz they will get to go into actual combat while the B-2 guy has the maturity and calmness required to actually fly a 1B dollar aircraft, whether in training or in a doomsday situation
@@Footballfan928He's not wrong at all, 😂 that b2 is harder to fly the other 2 planes are way more common, and faster b2 is stealthy and that guys true excitement. was like the b2, hidden
@@nuzuk there's actually a story about an a 10 pilot that ran out of ammo but stayed and drew fire details might be wrong or different but I could've sworn it was from a credible source in the military
@@ThePointlessBox_ The A-10 is as the person above commented, CAS or Close Air-Support. It is not meant to fight against other planes, this "shitbox" is a durable fuck off flying tank with a big rotating "fuck you" gattling gun at the top of it. The fuck off flying warhog has been in use for decades and has not been phased out because it has proven itself worthy of its "fuck you" status and has been more beneficial to society as a weapon of war than you ever will.
@@liamratliff3824 its absolute dogshit for CAS. its got more blue on blue kills than any plane in history. It was outdated the day it rolled off the production line. It was only kept flying due to politics. It was meant to be a cheap tank buster. It couldnt even perform effective runs on stationary known outdated tanks during its trial runs. Most of it kills are down to ATG missiles, which other better planes can also use (mainly the A111, which half the number of CAS missions than the A10 and had a better Kill rate, and also could function in the night). when the plane came out it had no targeting aids for the pilot, making them rely on binoculars. The insurgents found out when these planes came into the air, all they had to do was hide for a while then come back. its a dogshit plane that again, was only still flying due to politics involved. It started as a tank buster, that turned out to be underwhelming so it turned into a solution looking for a problem type of deal
People seriously don’t understand how cool the B2 actually is, like that pilot might not be pulling fancy maneuvers but they are flying one of the most advanced aircraft ever made and also one of the absolute hardest to control if the computer fails. The aircraft is the ultimate definition of fly-by-wire. It takes the best of the best to control it without support. (Meaning this guy was almost certainly top of his class.)
Yes and hats off to all the maintainers that painstakingly ensure every single sensor/servo/actuator/etc is properly diagnosed so that entire beast of a plane works
The A-10 having just as much hype as the F-22 is heartwarming to see. Thing might be old, but just the moral impact it has is enough to keep in service
@@Mr_Snek037 since when A-10s have not been used in many conflicts against enemies with AA abilities also the A-10 does have countermeasures and the A-10 can attack AA emplacements destroying them plus high altitude attacks
The plane costs 2 billion. He gets to fly the most expensive vehicle in the world Edit: Yes it’s more than a space shuttle, and a Saturn 5. You could go to the moon in a vehicle that costs less than this bomber. Nasa is burning through money with SLS. I saw some sources say that one launch of the Artemis rocket will cost 4 billion. Where the hell is 4 billion going to when Elon can build a rocket for less than 100 mil? Couldn’t we just rebuild a Saturn 5 with modern parts? That has to be cheaper than whatever the hell they are doing these days.
