The First F-16 AGGRESSOR Footage Ever Recorded 

Punching the little thumbs up icon doesn’t express how cool it was to watch that and hear the explanation of what went down. Thank you!😊

Fun Stuff! A rare opportunity!

Flying backwards at mach 2 🤢

Move stick press button run away

It was a disaster, they outnumbered the enemy and still let them get on their six and they both died.

Too bad they dont let everyone try their skill and pick the best. I would live to be a fighter pilot.

Many years of training, including military discipline training while tackling Uni classes like normal students.

@@christopher2206 Don't suck at life and you could be.

Appreciate this!!

Good Man!

You are the best.

Thank you

lol you were not a pilot. Sit down

@@joheric8886bro hating just to hate.. did ma burn ur french toast this morning

@@brian_vbHe just can’t comprehend accomplishing anything of great value in life, so he feels the need to put others who have ‘below’ him…hence, “sit down”.

Omg that last sentence 😂😂

😂the last sentence

Cheers for the "Flight of the Intruder" ref :)

I was in the army and did route clearance and in Iraq we had some F16 pilots ask to tour our RCP vehicles; Buffalo, RG31, and Husky. They were pretty new so most of the military had never seen the trucks before so we got a lot of passerby’s wanting to check them out. Afterwards they told our first sergeant they’d show us around the jets if we wanted to cruise out to the airfield any time. They let us climb all over the fuckers. Climbed into the cockpit and shit. They were the QRF jets so they had all the ordnance loaded. Super cool experience for me having always been fascinated with fighter jets. Flying in one must be an incredible experience.

It's like riding a bike, or walking and chewing gum, or talking to your wife while driving the car. After you've done it for a while there is a lot of stuff you really don't even think about. Actually flying the airplane, navigating around in a familiar oparea all become pretty automatic.

I live in pa and I was recently in Va beach and listening to the f18’s fly by in our hotel as I was on vacation was so great sounding every 20-30 minutes of them flying by

@@ITSJUSTA997 yup! The sound of freedom!

The older planes were always getting more advanced parts (like a race car) . It's sad they could keep making improvements but choose not to .

Greetings from Wedgefield

@@robertgreenwald2811 "freedom" yeah ... the sounds of the weapons that keep the rich in power making the rich richer and the poor poorer. Mindless consumer wage slaves that that live to work not work to live ....

What was so great about watching a giy talk.

Love the vids Ohm, and love this crossover lol.

service lmao, fake wars. you brain washed hard.

@@yeahtbh.161people like you win Darwin awards

@@davidhoover8877 Was a behind the scenes look at a training scenario meant to test out pilots that are coming up. Notice that blue lost, in a non-lethal engagement scenario, against our own more elite pilots, to help train them for scenarios or situations that they weren't expecting. Just very cool to see / hear.

That’s incredible! Wow, what a life you’ve lived :)

Damn, lucky!

Wings on Discovery channel is what got me into all this stuff! Thank you!

@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist8 sir this is a Wendy’s restaurant

Very cool.

they only pick those apt for the job. these boys are highly trained and have plenty of talent.

Which part of their convo screams how intelligent they are? Asking questions is often something done by smart people but having question-heavy conversation style doesn't automatically mean that

@@tappajaav the questions and answers were good while they were also flying jets. i dont think its unsafe to say that they are smart, which usually means being from the outer edges of the average (115) to slightly above that (125). within this range encompasses alot of people. selection makes sure to pick the people socially developed and apt for specifics in the range. also average iq for fighter jet pilots is 119 ive read somewhere.

@@DudeBroEasy Flying jet largely idle like they do falls in same category as driving a car down straight highway I believe, with sufficient practice it becomes passive ability But yes I do tend to agree with you here, as you really can't afford to make many mistakes while flying

@@tappajaavyou have to be pretty fucking smart to operate that goddamn jet. Don’t try to downplay these winged geniuses

This time. Not always.

uhm funny how lasers were perfected in the 60 for the army xD now we use them so casually we think its funny if the army still uses them xD

​@@geog26 even more funny how so many people love science when it produces weaponry but hate the same science when it's applied to public health or climate change.

I mean he has over 300k subs, I wouldn’t exactly call that underated

@@Dunger974 true

We just watched a video podcast from the USAF. What a time to be alive lol

The thrill of this flight & ability to even showcase this is incredible!

Lol. Arguably the largest channel of a very niche subject. "underrated"

Hey, I saw this comment and had to respond. If you're from the USA, you can still become a pilot and fly even with color blindness. Look into the Sport Pilot Certificate. It has more restrictions than the "standard" Private Pilot Certificate (you can only carry so many passengers and fly a plane under a certain weight and top speed), but you can absolutely still fly. The only caveat is that you must NOT have gotten an official examination from an FAA AME doctor to acquire your pilot's medical certificate already. As long as you never did that, you can be allowed to train and become a pilot under the sport pilot rules with only a driver's license instead of a medical certificate.

Same story here. I wound up staying in the air force just as a satellite tech instead.

EXACTLY - I am now an ace pilot with NO arms or legs! I am a brain in a jar locked in SingaporeStorageInc locker #445-o8hh630 - ooops! I farted. Yeah, now I can see thru walls! So, uh..don't bother trying to send me yer weird kpoporn U creeps.

Ever heard of DCS? It's obviously not the same as the real thing but DCS with a HOTAS and VR or IR Head Tracking is pretty amazing!

@@keithfoco That’s similar to me. I went to aviation mechanics school and worked years for Boeing building composite structures for the CH47 and V22 along with the rotor blades for the CH47. Being able to fly myself even a small piper would be amazing.

We aren't this way anymore. The military has went woke and the standards and discipline went out the window with it.

@@ian2372 We can hope it's just a phase if that's the case. I agree there are issues. But there are also dedicated people of all creeds serving this country and I don't care what you do behind closed doors as long as you are a good battle buddy when needed.

@@ian2372 Also thank you for your service.

@@ian2372we aren’t this way anymore?

@@christopherrobbins5712 He's just a troll. While I may not be in favor of most of the "woke" agenda myself, it has not done much to change our fighting forces in any way. That guy is just a righty fool, pay him no attention.

Which is exactly why us always " losing" war games is a win in itself. We are probably the only country that doesn't purposely stack our deck in WG, like our adversaries. We purposely put ourselves at a disadvantage, so our boys and girls are always striving to be the very best; not just LOOK the very best.

When you are fighting against some of most skilled pilots the in the world you are gonna lose sometimes (or a lot of the time). No shame in getting whipped by a far superior opponent.

@@weirdmood8102I mean there was one WG, MC02, where the US forces were overwhelmed by Opfor and the WG had to be restarted with certain restrictions to the reds. To be fair though, this decision was made so that certain units that were „killed“ by the first strike could get some training in as well.

Years of fighting experience

Not very effective in Afghanistan were they.

Ever heard of DCS: World?

Can I add, these day's too it's not just the flying, it's the ability to operate these weapon systems so effectively. So quickly combined with the flying ability, to get on target for a missile shot after the g turns takes so much skill, lovely display of training taking over here

Indeed, Very Educational✈

I respect these guys for their service and doing what they do, but it just doesn't seem like real air to air combat how it used to be. It's mainly about learning the weapons systems rather than air maneuvers and tactics like it was in the Korean war and before that. Playing combat simulators like IL2 Sturmovik and DCS really made me think this way.

@@FordHoard If you think some fuckin flight sims taught you something about real life then you are SO wrong lmfaooo. You think flight sims have access to confidential aircraft information for a true experience? So you don't need to know air maneuvers to avoid any and all missiles from all weapon systems? You don't need tactics when establishing air superiority over a hostile environment? What in the actual fuck are you saying? 🤣🤣mind you, all of this while cycling information thru their head and dealing with the physicality of flying a fighter jet. If maneuverability is so pointless then why have they invented 5th gen aircraft with the sole point of being more maneuverable??? Go touch grass and leave the games alone. Can't believe I just witnessed someone say that fucking flight sims taught them nuances of real life engagements. Tell our dead pilots that their weapon systems are more important than air maneuvers. Guess what? The enemy can shoot long range missiles too. Guess what? Enemies also have anti air weaponry. Guess what? The enemy is also creating 5th gen aircraft. Theres a reason all modern day fighter jets STILL have gun pods. You mentioned the korean war. I guess you didn't do enough research to learn that in that war the US removed gun pods from our jets because they thought that missiles were all that they needed. What does that tell you about modern jets still using gun pods? And if we still use gun pods, guess what else we still use? AIR MANEUVERS. Guess what they still teach? AIR MANEUVERS. Guess what many Israeli fighter pilots used in the middle east due to missile shortages? AIR MANEUVERS. Hop off the game bruh. They literally showed in this video two aircrafts merging and engaging in BFM. But mister flight sim couch potato thinks he knows more cuz he fucking plays DCS 🤣🤣 Theirs a HUGE reason pilots learn BFM before they touch ANY weapon systems. But you play DCS so you know all this right? 🤣You play IL2, a damn ww2 sim. But you know all about modern day air combat right? 🤣🤣I think we'll all trust the actual fighter pilots over someone that uses trackir in his race seat gaming chair 🤣"just doesn't seem like real air to air combat" and what qualifies you to know what "real" air to air combat is? Did our service members that died in the air not die in "real" air to air combat? Fuck off bruh 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Correct. These are very early As and Bs. We did the FCCs for these, and they had very limited mission capabilites. We had to build XFCC, EFCC, and even more advanced computers so that they could maintain better mission profiles.

@@brunonikodemski2420 I truly hope that you are able to acquire parts from AMARC to support and upgrade your fleet as you wish. Maybe even be allowed to put some of your birds through the F-16V upgrade process, which as I understand it, is a conversion that can be done on ANY F-16 airframe if it's in sufficientliy good condition. And that you get the funding for that.

I had no idea. Thanks for pointing this out.

It would be good for our Airmen to see this too, to understand the value of what we do for the pilots, and give reasoning behind why we do what we do. I’ve been AETC for years now, and nobody wants to be here, I get it. However, we are the ones enabling these students to do their job and become the assets that this nation, and many others, need. It’s honestly very fulfilling to me.

Same here I was a Plane Captain in the Navy which is equivalent to a Crew Chief and I feel the same way from seeing this

@@christopherrobbins5712 This wouldn't be the Christopher Robbins who was at Prince Abdul Azziz AB in Saudi in October- December 1996, would it? (QA inspector)

Well said!

soooo flat it appears ; )

Wow! I can’t imagine the stories you have.

Women shouldn't fight in war, they're a liability just like a diabetic is.

Is that Luke AFB?

@@Thetequilashooter1 gateway. KIWA

I think he mentioned Red Flag, which is/was out of Nellis. That said, it could be a smaller training exercise... or they flew out of Luke to "meet up" with Blue squadron.

I’m fairly positive it’s Phx Mesa Gateway Airport but it could be Luke AFB.

AZ native here and remember when Williams AFB was still around we would go watch the jets take off and land when we where kids.

😂

What they mostly do is serve the interest of the military-industrial complex.

@@zachorrison258 Exactly, at least two people in this country know it!

@@stevel4997 Don't you tinhat guys have a new boogeyman yet? That M-I-C stuff is so 80s...

I love his channel!

Great call. He’s never been a fight pilot but he’s incredibly smart and understands all the language is is the best at explaining it to the average person and then can put it on screen better than anyone to actually show what he means. He’s a great ambassador to future fighter pilots for someone who never has been one.

If you’re not a fighter pilot you can understand all the flight jargon all you like, you’re still no where near understanding what it’s like to be one, so don’t kid yourself pal..🤷‍♂️

@@Align500pro Hang on a sec… are you saying there is a difference between flying an F16 in simulator and actually flying one?! You mean to say a sim doesn’t reflect the training, fitness, education needed to fly a real combat aircraft? Jeez, next I’m going to find out playing Call of Duty isn’t the same as being in a real spec ops team. I guess you learn something new everyday. What about Hasbro’s “Operation”, don’t tell me that isn’t the same as being a real surgeon?! Oh the confusion 😒

Ditto

So cool! My dad loved gliders, although his were just RC. Pensacola Naval museum has a military glider hanging up. Over their P40 I think.

me too, i'm still training in the field with the F-16, the issue is, mine have missiles attached into it, but my computer gets too hot, then i just shut down the video game

PLAAF may want to watch more. A great way to learn.
