As a long time smoker, I envy the cleanly excuted breathing technique to take that many g's in that quick amount of time. Not many people could ever pull that off. Real life super heroes for sure.
🎺⛅️1 Thessalonians 4 KJV ✝️🩸 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. Ephesians 1 KJV 🩸 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
I have those Jet models given to me from my oldest sister when she & her now husband worked on the project when these Jets we're in development in the 🇺🇸. She has great pictures standing with others in front of the Jet & they became good friends with one of the Pilots. Beautiful video & how he must feel flying that Jet is freedom that very few will ever experience. Ontario, 🇨🇦 ❤
As a young naval airman stationed in Spain I got a chance to climb aboard an F-14 that had landed near my squadron. While admiring the aircraft the pilot asked if I would like to take a quick flight. He did the same maneuver this pilot just did albeit I don’t believe we reached 16,000 feet. This was one highlight I will never forget while being stationed overseas. ✌🏽
Maybe not quite as good as yours but I was a t38 crew chief. While on TDY. We got lots of flying time. Got a ride with max climb. I puked everywhere. But would do all over again.
As a teen in the 80's I didnt live far from Homestead Air force base and we would watch F-16's do this in the morning while we were standing on the bus stop going to school. I remember that more than I do high school
Something interesting when I went skydiving, every thousand feet was a new pressure wave I felt in my ears. We went up to 11,000 feet. Most amazing experience iv ever had, done it 7 times now.
@@kodycrifase2786 You might like to look at an altitude/atmospheric pressure chart -- at around 10,000 feet altitude, you have only about 10 PSI atmospheric pressure. At sea level, you're back to normal, which is around 14.7 PSI.
Wow,being a fighter pilot must be one of the best experiences in the world,I am guessing just a complete feeling of freedom,these guys have my utmost respect,the skill it would take to fly one of these is beyond me
I saw just over 8 g’s but yea I could be a little blind lol.. Jesus.. imagine going from just around 1-1.5 g’s to nearly NINE times earth’s gravity within seconds.. Now imagine doing that repeatedly during a combat engagement.. makes you think about how much physical stress these guys go through on a sortie, and how much training they have to do in order to overcome that.. insane.
The F16 is awsome! I had the luxury of being in one in the back seat (F16-B) with the canopy closed, engine running, doing a system check as a civilian. My ears popped closed as soon as the cockpit became under pressure. The fighter was on it's breaks, blocks in front of the wheels and on a steel cable attached to a steel ramp (for deflecting the exhaust) so it couldn't take off. I was allowed to push the throttle forward and you could feel the plane wanting to move. When they told me to move the "joystick" i could not move it but it sensed the pressure and the flaps and tail moved (fly by wire system). The only problem was i'm 1m89cm tall (6,2ft) and my hair touched the canopy... You really need to be a little person to fit in there with a helmet on (i only wore a headset so i could talk to the guys outside). It was one of the best experiences of my life! I still cant describe the feeling when you're inside that thing with the engine running. I can't even imagine what it feels like flying (in) one... I've seen recordings from the HUD from test runs... Man, that thing climbs fast 😶 That thing goes over 2000 km/h (1.242 mp/h) I've also seen the bullets that go into that thing... I can assure you that you DON'T want to be on the receiving end of those bullets... 😅 Like i said, that machine is AWESOME!!!
The Stealth bomber is the second loudest plane I have ever heard. The only one louder was the Concord . I was doing Contract work at Nellis AFB and up on the roof of the golf course . It was so Cool . And he banked it so hard to the left I didn't think it do that !
Sick video. We had a few F-16’s that got wrecked in a random storm. We worked on those things for months to get everything fixed. I don’t think people realize the amount of maintenance goes into a jet sitting for months on top of the maintenance we had to do for the initial repairs. Our units test pilot came in to fly those things and make sure they were ready. His job was to fly those jets (slick) as hard as he could to try and break them. He’d do this takeoff then fly them for an hour as hard as he could. He was a badass. It also took crazy faith in his crew chiefs.
I know there are newer beast in the line up, but I grew up admiring the F-16. I remember one day as a kid I hit the dirt road I was walking on when one made a sonic boom at what didn’t seem like a very high attitude. I’ve lived near three different AFB growing up and loved seeing these in the sky! 🤘
One flew over my grandma's house when I was about 10. Looked like it was barely clearing the tree tops. It was weird because we lived in the middle of nowhere. I'll never forget it.
8g... moist y'all have no idea how *Much* stomach shattering force that is to just survive let alone be Excited by the idea of getting to pull... theses pilots are a different breed...
We call that the combat take-off. In combat zones they pull this maneuver to stay below the height of the base outer perimeter walls for as long as possible then pull straight up to get out of potential enemy fire as fast as possible.
Even top fuel dragsters, which accelerate from 0-300+ mph on a 1000 foot strip in 3-4 seconds is painfully slow compared to moving 10,000 feet straight up in 6.5 seconds!
@@duncanharvey2209 an F16 "slick" can do an unrestricted climb to 15k feet in 10 seconds doing M1.5 when he gets there. At level flight he can reach M2. 10k feet in 6.5 seconds is very doable. I heard it every time Pop and I were together when we saw one. " You know why they go so fast dont ya.......cuz me and the boys made them that way." He was a crew cheif. "Proud of his girls", he used to say.
Love it. Watched one take off from the flight line at Vance. As soon as he cleared 1000 feet did 3 barrel rolls and was the size of a gnat to the naked eye in about 6 seconds. Can't believe we can make craft that can do that.
@@louiselmes284That must be… I was in AF running Fiber Optic Cable. I would just say the reason it was a little cooler my day was they came in a fingertip formation of 4 jets and they were maybe 20 feet in the air already like the guy in video and when they got to wear I was standing the first Jet takes off straight the 2nd peals left and 3rd right while the last guy performs what you see in this video.
I know for a fact that you're not a tall person. I sat in one and my hair touched the canopy... (I'm 6.2 ft) I also know that your career is over as a fighter pilot when you have to eject for a second time. The pressure of the ejection seat puts so much pressure on your spine that the second time you have to use the black and yellow handle your spine is compressed so much that you're not any longer medically qualified for a fighter jet. (At least that is what they told me.) I sure hope you never have to use it... But i can imagine that being a F16 pilot you're living the dream. You get to fly one of the best fighters (okay, it's pretty old by now but it still beats a Mig) AND YOU'RE GETTING PAID FOR IT... ❤️
@@Lucifer-Morningstar-73 the flying part of the job is the smallest part. These videos make us all think this is what entails the role of a jet pilot, but it does not.
After 9/11 they were flying around DC for a day or 2. I worked construction and I was up in the boom 40 ft in the air between 2 rows of townhouses when they made what seemed like a full throttle pass overhead...lemme tell you the sound bouncing off the buildings was freaking nuts!
U are asking an Air Force pilot to do something he's not trained to do. Navy pilots are capable of landing on carriers bcoz that's one of their requirements. The extra time Navy pilots spent on practising carrier operations, Air Force pilots use those to practise air combat training. So I'd say average Air Force pilot is better than Navy.
I had a ride in an F4E as a motivation ride after returning from Vietnam in 1969 at George AFB California. My ride lasted 45 minutes till bingo fuel. No external tanks. Mach 1.9. What a ride!
Flew F-16's and many other fighters for 13 years. I can tell you for certain that unrestricted climbs of any kind in a non combat situation is extremely rare and seldom allowed. The added fuel consumption and wear and tear on the aircraft are always factors in allowing such manuevers to be performed. As a military pilot you pretty much do whatever you're instructed to do at all times. Its not at all as glamorous and exciting as the movies make it out to be
Its so much more peaceful up top. A feeling like no other. You can't teach it though. One either takes it in or he or she don't. ❤ this video. Well done.
Thanks, so much. The Gs, look at his suit, especially the legs. All filled up so our guy doesn't pass out. Amazing video, the music, thank you to the narrator and poster. Gonna watch it a few more times😊
When I was 19, I wrote a recruitment test, hoping for entry into the RCAF (Canadian Airforce). I got an excellent score. I was in top physical condition, and being barely 5'8", I was the perfect size to fit in a jet cockpit. I knew what I wanted. Now at the the time I didn't know that you couldn't fly jets if you wore glasses or had any visual impairment. I was heartbroken when the test administrator said it wasn't going to be possible to be a fighter pilot. I asked why they let me write test at all, and he said they always want to assess everyone who might volunteer, just in case they had the right attributes for any number of roles, across all branches. Long story short, he suggested army intelligence. I asked what that would look like. He said it was a lot of info analysis, potentially some field work, but all in all a fairly easy, likely uneventful ride. Officer track, all that. I just couldn't. To this day I can only imagine that doing 1500 knots at 20000' is probably one of the greatest feelings there is, but now as an older man I am firmly anti war and would hate myself for killing anyone, if I ever had. I love jets, though. Always will.
I had a similar situation happening I went to a flight school it was all paid for by a friend that worked for the Kellogg Company that's the factory that makes our cereal I also wear glasses they told me that I would not be able to fly for the Air Force or the Navy first day there we were supposed to go up in a plane that was so upset I ended up walking out the same day a year later I entered the Michigan Youth Challenge Academy I passed all the physical requirements but not the educational now the stipulations for that was if I graduated I had a choice to join any branch of the military I chose with credits already so as soon as I enlisted in the Army I would have been private first class if I would have had pass the educational part . But life took me in a different direction a year later I met a woman had a kid and now he's getting ready to graduate next week hopefully he gets to live his dreams like I wish I would have❤
@@hankpope2953I know the feeling. I was going to take the asvab to join the Air Force on a Monday. The Friday before I was hit in the eye with a bottle rocket and it detached my retina, almost completely blinding me. My recruiter told me to not even bother taking the test, military wasn’t going to take me anymore. Completely rocked my core, destroyed my childhood dream
That is awesome music choice used it in a farm short yesterday. But the climb has to be a fantastic feeling. The “ boys from Syracuse “ were doing those takeoffs for two weeks after 9/11 out of Hancock field . All commercial traffic down they hit afterburners and every building within many miles cleared out and watched them. None of us knew what lies ahead in store for us at that time. Neighbor flew Helos over ground zero first six months contracted homeland security then flew biologists to Catskills daily in winter to check NYC reservoirs for foriengn bodies anthrax etc. He lost so much weight that year from stress. Way more flight hours than most ever achieve in lifetime in a years time but he loved it!
@@jordan9604 Yep! And they'll pay you to go to college, pay you to learn to fly, and pay you to fly it. Doesn't cost you anything for fuel, you don't have to do maintenance or pay for maintenance, and no insurance. All you have to do is study your best and apply yourself to learn what they teach you. That's literally it.
@@jordan9604 I was a Tanker in the Army for 24 years. They PAID me to drive tanks, paid me to shoot them, and so many guns I lost count. No cost for ammo, if I broke them they got me the parts to fix it, or fixed it for me. I got to command 4 of them, even. All they asked me to do was clean it up and help fix it at the end.
There is a surf spot next to the Naval Air Weapons Base Hueneme on the west coast. Sitting in the water, we can watch this happen often. Occasionally with barrel rolls to boot. From the surf, it is an awesome sight. Every time.
