  • I was contacted by the United States Air Force Thunderbirds and they asked me if I wanted to fly an F16. I said yes. What happened changed my life forever and I’m so excited to share the experience with all of you. Not only do I get to share the incredible experience of soaring above the clouds at mach speeds with you from inside the cockpit, but I also get to share everything I learned about G-LOC (passing out), Flight Surgeons, and why women are better suited for this kind of flying than men. This was probably the scariest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life, and I’m so glad I get to take you along :)

      F-16 doesn’t fly at 1500mph that’s 2400km/h almost if I’m not mistaken, I flown a 2 seater F-16, you’d be doing 400-600 knots(460-690mph) max, depending on the area you fly since you are not permitted to exceed sound barrier in built up areas and those values are just about at Mach 1.
      I might consider Air Force after I get some more flight experience with airliners, I just love the chemistry between everyone in an Air Force base, like a massive family, even if you are there as a complete stranger for one flight.

      @@_Khanyisile Hi! I’m glad to hear that! I have no worries about your future since you’re willing to put in the work.
      It’s always recommended to have a strong math and science (mainly physics) background. Make sure you pay attention to how proofs work and the logic behind them because that goes a LONG way when you take your engineering courses. You don’t want to solely know how to solve problems because you can easily forget it a few weeks after classes are over haha.
      Also, try to reach out to some engineers or companies through your school or local programs for future engineers like yourself.
      Also make sure you build a RESUME and not just a GPA. A 3.5 with extracurriculars is more impressive than a 3.8 with none.
      You don’t have to worry about this until college, but keep in mind that there are different concentrations of aerospace engineering such as aerodynamics, systems/controls, structures, etc.

      The Thunderbirds are the Air Force equivalent of the Navy Blue Angels. That’s all they do is perform at air shows. Plus pilots have to have thousands and thousands of flight hours to even get selected. They’re basically among the best pilots on the planet.

      G forces are something you actually get accustomed to over time. Frequent application of g forces on the body allows pilots to acclimate to it. Obviously these guys fly like this a lot, but pretty much all fighter pilots are accustomed to how this feels and can handle extreme forces like this with relative ease.

Unless scientists find some way to bring the amount of G's way down, down to two or three G's for us to become accustomed to this environment before slowly increasing the amount of G's that we experience, there is no way we would survive long enough in that kind of environment to adapt to the extra pressure.

    I work at a pilot training base as a barber & love learning about the planes/talking to the guys about their training. Being able to actually see a little bit of what they go through and have it explained medically is super cool! (Had a client actually show me his g-force training video, and after this video, it makes more sense.)
