F-16 Pilots Give Cool Inflight Interviews During Air-to-Air Refueling 

Loved how informal and friendly that boom guy was.

These clips are great for showing civilians that we're all just normal people in the military.

Operator : "Ey yo.. contact. How's goin man" Pilot. : "hell yeah dude... nice"

"How much gas ya guys got?" "Eh about 50k" "I'll take 4k hehehe"

Air-to-air refueling is one of the coolest sights of my life.

I have a great friend who does this also and he love his job and especially when the time to chat with the F-16s fighter pilots through out there missions. This is the best of the best inflight views ever

Absolutely badass - Those helmets are so cool!

That tanker, did I hear Boom identify as "91" ? If so, holy FUCK ! That was MY plane ! I served as Asst. Crew Chief. Minot. '82 to '86 !

When I was active duty USAF, 6 of our F-15s flew from AZ to AK for a readiness exercise. Our maintenance crew rode in the KC-135 tanker. It was such a cool experience to observe refueling operations from the "boomers" window. What a sight!

Gorgeous jet! The F16 still looks majestic

The Falcon is still my all time favourite jet.

Apart from the awesome operator and pilot talk. That plane must be one of the sexiest and bad ass jets in the air force.

Woulda thrown up some horns. These dudes, and dudettes, are some real metal warriors. What a video. I'm so happy to have people like all you protecting us.

As a KC-135 mech sys engineer, since 2010. I have to “engineer” from a desk...on the ground...in a building...on a computer. But you Boom Operators (BOs) have the best seat in the house (sky)! Not taking away taking away from Pilot/Co-Pilot duties and responsibilities. The view from the sighting-glass is priceless.

Man... these birds are one hell of a sight, piloting one must orgasmic. Great video!

i love these types of videos im glad that you guys can bring these to us

Just about the coolest video ever.......thank you.....appreciate what you boys do........from a Brit.......

Only but a dream for me.

4:22 voice crack 😂

Fun fact! Normally pilots make jokes or do interviews cause it helps calm them down. It is a very stressful procedure trying to do A-A Refueling and so the interviews calm the nerves as being stressed is not at all optimal during A-A Refueling.

Beautiful shots, I like the paint job with the linings!

F16's great looking aircraft.

simple, straight forward... BAD ASS VIDEO !!!! thanks for sharing !

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE. WE WOULDN'T HAVE A COUNTRY WITHOUT YOU. I PRAY YOU STAY SAFE .

Awesome footage 💯, love these videos 👍🏼

That is so Cool Dudes and keep up the good work😎👊👊😎

It's always Great to See our Pilots For Selfridge ANG Always a pleasure To watch these Guy's in Action I Salute you All

That's so cool!!!

This was VERY Cool !! Thank You 👽💚

This is why I show my support. You guys out there are just stellar and want to let you know that. :)

Cool video! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks to all who have served!

So amazing

This stuff is awesome. So are they!

viper pilots are the best! + the boom operator !

Besides being a fighter/bomber pilot, this would be such an awesome job.

God I love the viper. Such a beautiful aircraft.

Absolute Rockstars !! Period.

Keep up the good work

Awesome

That was so awesome. God bless all our troops and whom ever we partner with. May they be safe and have god on their sides. 👍🖤👁‍🗨✊®️

Being a boom operator on a KC-135 looks like a lot of fun!

I see why my son in listen. My sons name is Falcon and that name came to me from nowhere. He’s always wanted to be a soldier since he was 4 yrs. military academy from 7yrs - 18. Never dawned on me he was born to serve. 🙏🏽 for your service this was amazing to watch and the communication with each other was pleasant.

It's really nice up there.

the airforce may be the butt of many jokes but man they have saved our asses many times oversees

What a job!

God bless!

The right stuff

Nice

But do they have cases of Chick-Fil-A Sauce packets to share?

AS A FORMER MILITARY, SOME OF US DIDN'T DO THE CRAZY THINGS THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, GOT MY VOTES! KEEP DOIN IT

Cool, fly like eagle

안녕하세요! 반갑습니다! 좋습니다!!! GOOD!!!

We built way too many F-16s to the point it’s not easy to replace the F-16s

How about knock-knock jokes, one per pilot. ? Laughing not required.

Is the jet refueling or the big plane?

This is maybe a naive question to so of you, but I really don´t know. When you are performing air-to-air refueling, do you refuel only the tanks in the plane or the external fuel tanks as well?

😍what a job🤩

What kind of helmet wears the pilot at 4:03

Theres something I wonderd for a long time now: Do Fighter Jet Pilots have their dedicated Jet? Or are the names on the side of the canopy switched frequently?

"Can I get 4k on pump one please?"

all those f16s had the same payload two arams and one sidewinder 😑

Anybody know the fighter unit?

I always find it strange that the USAF uses flying boom refueling so much with their fighters. It was originally designed because the top brass didn't like how exposed their bombers and transport aircraft were during aerial refueling, hence flying boom method was developed to increase the rate of fuel transfer. However, for smaller aircraft like fighters, using the hose and drogue method means you can refuel multiple aircraft simultaneously (I think the limit is 3). But then, for example, the RAF only has their refueling aircraft equipped with hose and drogue systems, meaning even their transports like C-17s and A400Ms can only make use of the reduced fuel flow from that method. Very strange to me.

Lol nice

Just casualty fuels up and goes away

Enlisted boom operator calling aviators 'man'. Man, not the military I was in....
