Reacting To The Infographics Fighter Pilot Video. Is It Good Info or Complete BS? 

*starts video* *one second passes* "Okay - that's completely false..."

how to piss off a solider/serviceman speak poorly of logistics

"Big fat cargo planes".... AC-130: What the hell did you just call me?!

"If you're a seaman" *laughs* "semen" you sir have just gained a sub

All infographics videos are so inaccurate, and the biggest problem is they have million views and most of people watching will take those bad information as it is.

As a fighter pilot, one of the lamest things to hear from civilians while showing off the F-15E at airshows is "I wanted to be a pilot, but..." Infographics like those give them the bad info. You don't need perfect vision, you don't need to look like the Statue of David, just need to be an average person with the will to fight through the bullshit and eventually understand how basic geometry works when you get to the b course. But like you said, the pilot crisis has nothing to do with recruitment, it has everything to do with retaining experienced pilots and that is a whole other discussion.

"Don't let a RU-vid video ruin your dream" Greater words were NEVER spoken

In the “M16 vs AK47” video, I remember they said the M16 was much simpler and easier to disassemble lmao got a lot ass backwards.

In Canada we throw paper airplanes, the persons who makes it the furthest is a fighter pilot.

They took the video down😂

18:43 laughed my ass off when I saw Su-25, MiG-29, and Su-57 in a row...in a video "explaining how" to join the US Air Force 😂

Oh shit, I think my dream is back on the menu boys, my eyesight is ass but I can see fine with glasses, thank you so much lol

"Lets copy kurzgesagt, but do none of the research."

infographics show- water downed BuzzFeed since 2009

Infographics guy: *inhales* pilot: "Okay thats completely wrong."

"That's, like, legally blind". I've heard that so many times, but it makes me lose it every time

“Unless you’re comrade”, I’m dead lol

Good on ya for making this dude. The first time I saw this video pop up I watched it and just shook my head so much. There were some correct things, but man it was all over the place, I sure hope it didn’t discourage anyone wanting to become a military pilot because it has a lot of views.

So basically go to the source and avoid “armchair” writers?

02:02 Oh, I love it: 2 MIG-29 flying over New York. Yes, Tovarisch :))))

*is in military* Lemoine: **laughs** semen

Your video should be mandatory for every high school junior & senior interested in being a military pilot.

"BS Make them tell you no." I need more of this in my life. You've helped me recognize where I let others discourage me.

Could be a Russian government-funded video to scare off the Americans from becoming a pilot lol

Meanwhile I earned my degree as a fighter pilot in air superiority on Silk Road back at BF4

This happens whenever civilians with no actual military experience try to create an educational military video.

In 1992, an Airforce recruiter told me I couldn't be a pilot without 20/20. I took his word, 25yrs later I started training to be commercial pilot. But that one encounter (I should have asked others) stopped me.

Funniest thing is that the original video is currently private 😂

I recently contracted through my USMC Officer recruiter as a Marine Aviator Candidate and will be going to virginia for OCS This summer!

That 20/20 thing is the reason I never tried to become a fighter pilot. It wasn't a video, I heard it through the grape vine so to speak. So I gave up on trying to go into the service when I was 12 and I found out that I had 20/30 vision in one eye. I wish this video was around back then.

Coming from a person who’s dreaming of becoming an A10 pilot, thank you for making this video. You don’t know how many people tell me I won’t succeed. So for real. Thank you🙏🏽 much love from Chicago

The video i was sooo pissed in Infographics Show was when they made an M14 a BOLT ACTION

Great video! I don't understand why so many people seem to "gatekeep" being a fighter pilot when they themselves have no experience in the field. You know, it says something when actual pilots say "Go for it, make them tell you no." Then on the flip side you've got people who have never even flown a Cessna try to talk up all the restrictions like only .00001% could ever do it.

I was one of those kids that was crushed as a boy, my Aunt was dating a former AF Pilot and current MD 80 pilot who proceeded to tell me I wasn't smart enough to fly... This was back in the early to late 70's and he was probably right... But I never tried, because his criticism always stuck in the back of my head... Scroll ahead to the mid 90's when I had a couple coins to "waste", I got my PPL with 0 problems!!! Wish he had lived long enough for me to show him that I wasn't quite as dumb as he thought. Funny what a little criticism can do to a young boy or girl... Excellent video sir :-)

PSA: Infographics, 5-minute crafts, and a lot of other channels like this are owned by a large Russian company.

It feels like they lied about everything.

09:40 - It's funny because you get tons of flying hours in the "big fat cargo planes" than as a fighter jet pilot .. and you get to fly to a lot more places.

It's funny that they are talking about US pilots but mostly show sukhois and MIGs.

'Make them tell you no" I like it. I thought I was coming to this video for entertainment but I left with inspiration.

I love that at 22:27 they are landing backwards on the carrier.

I’m 18 and just got into BYU, currently joining ROTC to hopefully in the future land a slot at a pilot. Thanks for the great info!!

This video summed up in two words: "Ok, No."

*serious face* *chuckles* “Ha a seaman”

23:40 I busted out laughing so hard. "Get revenge on your instructor for the hell they put you through!" Just the picture it paints is so funny. especially the way CW reacts. Like some maniacs are watching this thinking they get to shoot down their evil instructors in the end or something. Oh it's so damn funny to me right now.

When I was a boy my dream was to fly jets but someone told be about the vision “myth” and it broke my heart. I had to just ignore my dream and go a different route. I just now learned today from you that it’s a myth.

Infographics bad, Kurzgesagt in a nutshell good.

Final mission: kill your instructor! Reward:Get a flying license!

"To pilot a multi-million dollar jet" I mean I know that's just phrasing to make it sound that impressive but at this point tons of aircraft are "multi-million dollar" a million dollars isn't as much as it used to be and almost all commercial jets costs many millions and there are few aircraft in any air force in any military that doesn't cost at least a million. Like tankers are usually converted commercial jets and they also cost millions, transport aircraft are multi-million dollars. Fighters are expensive sure but they they aren't the only expensive aircraft. It's not a big deal but it's just part of the whole misinformed attitude about aviation in this video where they try more to make it sound cool rather than deliver accurate information.

Great video and so true. It’s unfortunate that that there will be aspiring military pilots that will see all that inaccurate info. and give up pursuing their dream. Thanks to you for setting the record straight.

C.W Lemoine, I love your Videos! I myself am a German 17 year old Kid and I am striving to apply for the German fighter pilot Programm at the Luftwaffe. You have not only motivated me to keep going until someone of authority tells me „no“ but you have also cleared up a lot about the general feeling of being a fighter pilot, what it takes and what it’s all about. Thanks to you I have overcome the issue of „self-eliminating“. Keep going and as we say in German: „Glück auf!“

I wanted to be an Air Force pilot my whole life growing up. In elementary school I was reading about all the military Jets and had hundreds of books and videos (VHS) about Jets. Then during middle School I developed Panic Attack and had them most my life. Around the age of 32 they went away, I just turned 39, Jan 2020 and am too old now. I regret not trying out for the air Force till this day. Great video!

Why do they keep emphasizing how expensive the jets are? Yes, it's probably unfathomably expensive to the normal person, but after the 10th time, I simply don't care anymore.

"Make them say no" is what you once said and it applies the every thing in life. Thank you for your wise words. I will remember this.

now THESE are the types of reaction videos i approve of, thanks for calling out the lyingraphic show!

things keeping me from being a fighter pilot: my country has a small airforce. i am not fit. i am not in any way american. my back is a b e n d y b o y e.

Fighter pilot: Hey, do you need help with that script? Infographics: Nah, I’ll just wing it instead

Mover, I watched this same video weeks ago and was shaking my head the whole time too. Thanks for making this video! Currently a stud at UPT. See ya!

Infographics destroying kids dream job

There is only one basic lesson that anyone can be learned in this video "Don't trust Infographics show"

I want to be a pilot in the airforce and I remember watching this video a while back to do some research and it crushed me when he said you need to have perfect visionThanks man .

Just love the fact that a jet fighter pilot is a RU-vidr!! There's people that have all kinds of heroes and role models... Mine are fighter pilots 😎

16:30 people need to change their thoughts that just because an aircraft is propeller-driven automatically means its crap. WWI, WWII, as well as modern propeller-driven fighters say other wise. That being said, my favorites are P51 Mustang and the A29 Tucano.

Dude wtf, the only reason i didn't join the airforce to become a pilot was because my highschool teacher said i wear glasses and they'd never accept me.

I love that they took this video down, and I'm assuming that they did that once you published your reaction video and they realized just how uninformed they were lol!

I can’t stand the infographic shows. I remember when they compared the F-35 against a SU-30 and made the F-35 look like a death trap. Plus I’m pretty sure they are all Russians.

Nice video Mover. You show the difference of what many youngsters "Think they know" and "Think they know but ain't so." Herd mentality taught in school is the biggest drawback for any person who wants to get ahead - in any walk of life. Belief in self and persistence is key, and you show that. "Make 'em tell you No." Love it.

“And for your final test, you must thread the needle of a Singer sowing machine blindfolded to simulate a night raid. And then stitch a hat.”

I was told the vision thing back in the 80's/90's and that's what kept me from seeking it out.

I"m a junior in high school preparing for the ACT and praying to get into the USAFA and to become a fighter pilot like my grandpa, thanks for the video and WISH ME LUCK

I suspect they got the 20/20 vision thing from watching a few too many movies.

Love it! My days are done, 65 in January, but to see your encouraging vids for the young guys is awesome! I wish I'd have had the same encouragement when I was young.....

24:38 why are they dressed like they’re ready to go fight it out in the bush in Rhodesia in 1967

You should’ve added a counter to show how much false info there is.

Mover launching Fox 3 to Infographics, and splashing them hard. Nice video!

Imagine still flying fighter jets This post was made by the Raider Interstellar Battlecruiser Coalition

There are some amazing "big fat cargo plane" pilots that I have the utmost respect for. Combat landings and take offs into and out of Iraq were scary as hell but the pilots were amazing. We also had some amazing C-130 pilots that were able to get into and out of tiny dirt strips for missions in Africa. Those cargo pilots managed to get me into some crappy places, they delivered desperately needed supplies, they brought us food, when they couldn't land the crew was able to drop supplies with amazing precision.

That Infopgraphics video reminds me of the Marine recruiting commercials in the 90s. I was super bummed when I reported to Parris Island and was told I would not be issued a noble steed and allowed to joust a fire demon on a giant chessboard.

I love what you said about, "the worst part of the video, flying big fat cargo plans" oh, wow!!! Your are so correct!!!! That is the worst of the video & totally false because, like you said every mission in the military is a support mission (of each other). If there is no supporting each other, there is no success!!!! Being "Solo" doesn't complete the mission!! That's why there are terms like, "Seal TEAMS"....because people have to collaborate in order to accomplish a unified goal!!!! Everyone is a crucial part even if they are not the "tip of the spear"!!!

I always knew infographics was a crappy channel, but I'm glad someone actually sliced one of their videos apart with real facts

Glad I found this channel. I like to hear from insiders how they and their work is portrait wrong, it is often mind opening.

12:30 - about Russian planes here. In Russia we have such requirement for almost all kinds of pilots - razor sharp vision. Maybe that video was made by some Russian guy)

“If you want to fly the Most technologically advanced planes, move to the USA.” What? Like a B-2? As If They’re gonna let you fly That. Other militaries have great weapons too.

I got pissed off within the first three minutes, they’re claiming the US is the only nation with advanced fighter aircraft. Absolute bs.

-Bachelor of Science in Physics with high honors. -Master of Science in Space Systems. -USAF Nuclear and Missile Operations Officer. -Currently a NASA Satellite Engineer.

You should review their other military videos. Also, looking forward to the retention video

Haha epic!!

“Trusted with the most expensive weapons on the planet” 💀

In the part of "Landing at Night" he said it was terrifying. I feel like this is the exact description of landing at night in USS Enterprise during WW2 because many of the plane have to ditch to the sea because they can't see anything and they have to make low visibility (lights off) to make sure they won't be spotted by the Japanese.

Mover..... It single handedly was one of these same Alpha Alpha Sierra HOLES that made me a person that I never wanted to be. I heard it all "Your eyes arent good enough," "you have to have straight A's," BLAH BLAH AND MORE BLAH. I'm on the verge of cryin. By what you said I WOULD have been a fighter pilot and a damn good one. I wouldn't have become discouraged, given up and thrown my life away. Out of anger that I would never fly. You are doing a tremendously good-hearted service telling kids (like I was once) THE TRUTH, Informed, and no Bravo Sierra. Your someone that has the experiance and isn't telling kids "You will never be a fighter pilot, it's too hard and only the best students get to fly." They said "Be a lawer or a doctor, and quit entertaining a fantasy." Right now I'm on the verge of tears. Mover thank you for this video, and all your video's, you may make a few pilots instead of criminals, druggies, and who knows what else when a young person throws in the towel because some of us only want one thing in life.... To fly most of the time ANYTHING that flys, fixed wing or rotor wing. Take that away and people like me just give up on life. It's like cutting off the wings on an eagle shit, any bird (flying ones) and ask him if he wants to be a lawer or doctor! Yes I have a few hours in a Cessna but it's not the same and never will be. 😢

I kept pointing out in the original video the fact that they kept putting Russian aircraft as they talked about the US military.

I’m glad I caught this video when I did, Unsubbed from infographics show

I fell for the vision issue thing when I was a kid and let go of the piloting dream for a long time, but that was way before youtube was even a thing. I'm now going for my PPL, will pursue my other ratings, and will be switching careers ASAP even though a few decades have passed.

When the Infographic video said “and you’re gonna be treated like dirt” I got so pissed off. Not just what he said, but how he said it. That’s not how it works. It’s like the makers of the video don’t remotely understand what the term “mutual respect” means. Same goes for when the guy said “big fat cargo planes”. Speaking of mutual respect, the Infographic Show knows nothing about being respectful... or remotely intelligence for that matter.

That infographics video nearly killed my dream, thank god I saw this one right after

I still have the dream deep down, told myself in high school it wouldn't work out because of my eyes, I wanted to eventually fly for NASA... however now that I'm in college I'm thinking of starting the process anyway, I've been obsessed with flying my whole life, the fact that I was mislead in high school is a shame, but once I finish my degree I'm going to begin the process

Video: “if you fail it’s a wrap for you.” 1 year later: “it’s still a wrap for this video.”

Used to go out and help SERE show our F15 pilots how to avoid detection from enemy K9 teams. Fun stuff.

I tell people I aspire to be a fighter pilot and they all say I can't. Either that I'm too tall (6'1") or m eyes aren't good enough (20/30). I say that all of those are myths and they refuse to believe anything I say. It annoys me when I am asked what I want to do with my life, I say I want to be a Pilot, and denial is all I get.

This was hilarious. Love your sarcasm and reactions to these.

Man I needed this video 7 years ago. My parents convinced me to drop my dream of becoming a CAF pilot/ pilot altogether because they fed me a bunch of bullshit about how I would never pass medical requirements or immediately die in a plane crash. If anyone out there is thinking of becoming a pilot, listen to Lemoine's message, pursue your dreams and dont be full of regret years later like I am.
