Amazing, its been one heck of a journey to watch its been amazing to experience it with you.

‘Old’.. lol the 29s are still fairly current in the Russian and Russian supplied arsenals around the world. An ‘old’ Mig you can still find is like a 15, 17 or 19. Think N Korea still uses them as current tech lol. 29s are barely able to be considered old. Is a Iphone 13 old? That’s basically what a mig 29 is in terms of aviation tech

@aauwhatitdo1582 Год назад

@@airheart1 The 29 may be current, but it really is old. It's a good 4-5 decades old.

@airheart1 Год назад

@@aauwhatitdo1582 yeah but it’s really not even a full generation out of the current gen fighters.. still more in use than the newest gen jets.. I get it’s been flying quite a long time.. but Aviation doesn’t move at the speed of phone or PC iterations.. in those terms, it’s literally like a iphone 13. If you say, and old Iphone.. you think of a 12 or 13? Lol I don’t. If you ask, what’s an old US jet, what comes to mind? An F18? I don’t think so.. I think of a Sabre or Phantom or something from generations ago.. that’s kinda old for a jet. Calling last gen jets that are still the majority of what’s in use, old, is not an accurate statement imo. You have to have perspective on the tech involved and the lifespan of these platforms. 40+ years is quite normal for an aviation platform.. with many minor revisions along the way. I guess if you’re younger than the airframe.. you might think they’re ‘old’. But that is from an incorrect perspective.

Every time I watch one of your videos I'm reminded that this is so much more then a RU-vid thing. The quality, of production level, the research put behind each video, and the fact that you get to actually go out and have hands on experiences like this one make your videos feel so far ahead of the RU-vid platform. This feels closer to Netflix Documentary style content and I am so thankful to get to enjoy work that I can tell has meaning and heart felt care put into it! Thanks Tim and team, you guys are doing great work!

@EverydayAstronaut Год назад

Thanks for saying that David! I'm glad you appreciate the efforts we go to make these videos. I don't want to just have fluff on this channel, I like it to be a deep dive and / or hands on so I can bring my experiences (learning and physical) to you all as best I can! Thanks for saying hi!

@NealeUpstone Год назад

I felt the same way. Tim's commitment to education is phenomenal, and even in a video where he gets to experience something so awesome (and it's so well deserved), he doesn't lose that educator edge. He asked and answered a really relevant question while also giving a further insight into Jared's professionalism that shows how these missions are happening. These are true missions run in a manner that starts to refine processes that previously only national space programs ran.

@alveydoug Год назад

I don’t know about luck; Tim’s worked pretty hard to learn all of this information (and sweat a lot in a Russian pressure suit). In the few years I’ve been following him, he’s easily covered a Master’s Degree worth knowledge and close to a Doctorate, with Kerbal Space experiments and rocket engine research. He probably values his RU-vid achievement plaque more than a degree. I think he values the friends he’s made too, including Elon Musk, who seems to appreciate Tim also. I have also enjoyed Tim’s “bumper” music, that he wrote and performed several years ago. (I guess he’s been too busy for new compositions.)

@smugnation2040 Год назад

•TRUE I've seen plenty of hard workers who don't achieve this level of "living the dream", so I don't think acknowledging the amount of opportunities that had to line up on time with his willingness and ability to take the chance does anything to discount from the amount of hard work he put in.

Tim, I'm a former Naval Aviation Officer who pulled a few Gs myself for awhile. Obviously, it was something I'll never forget. I'm sure you'll also never forget what Jared Isaacman gave you the opportunity to experience. Thank you so much for clearly explaining to us why this sort of thing is still important. I think Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon described it very well how in intense situations a persons awareness and ability to function is very limited, and that this training is helping them to be able to continue to function even if they encounter an off-nominal situation.

@JBDazen Год назад

Awesome video Tim! Jared is such an awesome guy, he looks so 'regular' and modest that you wouldn't believe that he's a billionaire, fighter pilot and astronaut. It's so great to see him pushing boundaries here. Can't wait for Polaris!

I'm happy content creators like Tim, Scott and Destin have been the types to grow and benefit from their hard work. They rarely seem to let their egos and personal beliefs cloud the message they are trying to deliver.

@R0bobb1e Год назад

That was fantastic! I completely understand the "why" behind jet training now. As soon as I saw your brain turn to mush, the penny dropped. Your situational awareness basically dropped to zero, but The Kidd was able to navigate, control, fly in formation and on top of that, be aware of what was going on in the Mig. One of your best videos yet! Peace!

@leonbarnes1402 Год назад

excellent video. the simple fact that you are getting first hand access to firefly, rocketlab, starship and polaris shows the level of dedication you have for rocketry is clearly recognised by the giants of space, well deserved recognition too. keep up the good work.

@criticalthought7527 Год назад

Tim is one of the rare Ewe Toobers who is dedicated to educating his audience in an effective and entertaining manner. Most jet ride videos are *_all_* about the personal experience of the presenter, not Tim. Tim nailed his mission once more, in this case by teaching us why astronauts train in fighter jets from the early days, until now. Years ago I talked my way onto a Texas NASA training facility (pre 911) and was able to land a shuttle simulator. I was also fortunate enough to speak with some NASA T38 pilots, but did not know what questions to ask to get a full understanding of the purpose of the T38 training. I did not get this perspective until watching Tim's video. We always learn something important from Tim's productions. Thanks Tim.

Tim, you continue to impress me, I have been a fan for a long time, but this video has pushed me over the edge to support you on Patreon. What you have accomplished as a dedicated space enthusiast boggles the mind. Exclusive tours at SpaceX with your tour guide, none other than Elon Musk himself. History of Soviet Rocket engines. Live feeds from launches. A dedicated media vehicle, and now an inside view of "fighter jet training" for astronauts! As a 69-year-old retired person, I see you in the vanguard of your generation crafting a custom career that allows you to "live your dream". I hope your peers are as impressed with what you have accomplished as I am. You have done extraordinary things with modest resources, primarily driven by your boundless enthusiasm and that enthusiasm is palpable in every one of your videos. I feel good after watching an Everyday Astronaut video. My hopes for humanity are revived, and I become more optimistic about the future. I can't wait for what you will surprise me with next. You are an asset to humanity.

@sandycoyne Год назад

Those mission specialists really explained mental overload perfectly, including how you overcome it with practice. I trained to skydive using AFF, so even my first jumps were from high altitude with a long freefall. I had a lot to focus on and I did it well. But there was a moment on my fifth skydive where I suddenly noticed that I was able to look around and enjoy the view. It hasn't occurred to me before that I was unable to do that because of all the details I was paying attention to. A real eye opening moment.

@soberguy0 Год назад

You know, its crazy to see what your channel has evolved into. I've been following since the early beginning where you would wear you that orange high altitude suite in most of your videos. I'm incredibly jealous because I'm a huge fan of soviet era Migs, and pretty much any high speed flying machines. But to see you go from simple short videos that explained the basics of rockets while running around in a heavy, and hot space suite, to riding around, and spending time with the people who will no doubt take our human race to a level that I dreamed of as a child watching "The Jetsons". I love what your doing, and each new video is another mind blowing experience that hopefully one day we might all get a chance to enjoy.

@Boogie3D Год назад

Wow that was a nice one! I had a go in something similar as well and plan to do it annually! I did only 500km/h and 5,5G in a polish Iskra, but was worth it! As far as the sweep angle is concerned (11:49) you should measure it in the quarter chord line, which would mean that the Albatros doesn't have any or it has a very slight one (under 2-3 degrees).

Just seeing you smile as you pull those high-G maneuvers reminded me of the many times my dad told me about his incentive flight in an F-15D Eagle when he was in the Air Force. Like you, he told me all about it with such joy and a twinkle in his eyes. He could still recall the moments of putting on his G-Suit, getting into the aircraft, and then taking off. Not to mention he would speak with such enthusiasm describing the "Elephant on your chest" feeling on the high G turns. He loved every second of it. Also, since I'm currently studying to get an Airframe and Powerplant certification, you talking about dihedral, supersonic flight, how jet engines work, and such, really made me go "Oh yeah, I remember talking about that in class" and gave me even more initiative to study and work hard to earn my certification.

Love to have heard more from Sarah & Anna on training so far.great stream Tim.

As someone who has 39hrs of flight training and been around aviation/space awhile now: her description of task saturation was amazing. I couldn't imagine going from no flight exsperence to having to stay ahead of a jet. That 0-1000 overnight

Actually a no-brainer that you were chosen to coma along on this mission, you communicate soo good with and without words.

@ChronosWS Год назад

Such joy and furtiveness, your experience in the jet was very, very human. Loved it!

@TechiesRSA Год назад

absolutely epic my dude, you are so deserving of this opportunity and totally living bicuriously through you.

@dr4d1s Год назад

The word you were looking for is vicariously. Bicuriously would mean you are interested in the idea of liking both men and women.

Tim, we could feel the emotion with you. The minute you saw the Mig, that’s one of the moments you live life for my brotha, and it was beautiful to see it in you. Keep doing what you love ~

Another top notch piece by Tim Dodd. We're very fortunate he decided to do journalism and is finding and then covering the most interesting stories.

Amazing,Tim. I felt like I was there with you! Terrifying and astounding!!!!!

This is awesome! I love how you take the opportunity to deep dive and share your knowledge with the rest of us when you can (I know this is what you love doing but still, I don't take it for granted), instead of "just" shooting a cool video of you flying in a fight jet! Much much appreciated. And btw, I'm not sure what Jared if made of, but if an elephant were to sit on my chest I'm pretty sure I would most likely black out and possibly leave this earth for good... xD 😅 *Reference timestamp: 7:57

Truly amazing. I'm so happy for you, Tim! You've worked so hard for this opportunity. Keep it up, man!

Watching this video made me smile then tear up seeing tim speechless in Close trail. I made me remember how amazing and the joy I felt the first time I flew in formation 10 yrs ago. God this video was sooo great!!!!

Man, what a once in a lifetime experience. Awesome, and congrats on being a part of that. 👍

@michaeljoefox Год назад

I’d pay a million dollars I don’t have a million times to find something to make me smile like that. Don’t know you, but seeing people follow their dreams makes me more proud than you’ll ever know. SO happy for you man.

Tim’s quite the success story, I mean seriously look at this compared to where this channel started!

@luciealie Год назад

I love it. I am so happy for you, Tim! You actually start your astronaut training long ago before DearMoon announcement. I was smiling whole video like a kid in front of sweetshop. Go, Tim, go up and bring us little bit of cosmos to us.

Tim Dodd speechless... Priceless! 😁 Kind of amazing seeing him go into sensory overload but totally enthralled with what was happening. Thanks for sharing this Tim.
