For anyone wondering what his hand signals were for @11:19, that’s for battle damage checks. Each pilot will fly to each side, and underneath to visually inspect the other aircraft for any damage as a safety precaution. His wingman checked his plane, then they switched and he inspected his wingman’s plane.
Thank you for your explanation.👍
@@arsalan4785 glad you liked it. I don’t know much, but I try to be helpful when I can 😂
That one I got, but what was that part before final? Just Thanks going touch, or I go You Mav the tower?
@@loginvidea I’d have to go back and watch it again. The Navy/Marines have different approach procedures than the Air Force. The navy/marines do a “carrier break” before landing. The Air Force obviously doesn’t land on aircraft carriers, but they still do a “break” when they enter the pattern to create separation and it also bleeds off air speed so that they can get their aircraft into a “landing configuration”. There are max speeds for landing gear and flaps, so they need to slow their planes down to a speed where they can deploy their landing gear and flaps and set up for approach to land. So it’s their version of a “carrier break”. So, short-story-long; I’d bet that they were signaling to do their landing separation break.
Look up C.W.Lemoine on CZcams. He flew Vipers in the USAF and then Hornets in the Navy (as a reserve, if I remember correctly). He’s got a lot of really good, in-depth info on his channel. Also, his buddy “Gonky” has a channel on CZcams called “the ready room”, and he’s got a lot of Navy and Hornet related info on his channel. They also do a lot of collaboration videos together.
@@loginvidea overhead break.. let’s Rock!
This is amazing. I'm so happy the Air Force is giving you permission to record and share these. I hope it helps recruitment!
I know right this is the greatest recruiting tool of all time.
100%. Cooler than any commercial they could think up
The washout rate is probably climbing too. The youth are not the same, these days.
No shortage of recruits, there's a shortage of spots to fill due to training restrictions. They don't have enough T38s
I want to move to America and start flying. I’m turning 50 next year. Will this be a problem?
This kind of video will make kids flood the Air Force Academy and Airclubs.
Once you've seen a video like this, with the Fighter Pilot being so humble and encouraging, it is hard to believe you can go through LIFE doing some other thing, another job
THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS for amazingly BEAUTIFUL flight.
Yeah.
I’m glad.
I wish I could go back and start over, I should have finished my pilot training instead of working in healthcare. Healthcare is a horrible industry.
Rather be playing video games -flight simulator
I love how he is so calm and casual in his narration of the time his jet lost fuel over the Pacific as he flew hundreds of feet from the mountainsides. Nerves of steel.
lol I was thinking that same thing. Like how can you be so relaxed flying through a canyon at 300 MPH?
@@Davivd2 He's taking it easy. He's used to flying much lower, faster, and more aggressively.

As a Vietnam Veteran '65-'69 I want to thank you and making this tape. I hope all the young wannabes out there watched this. What an opportunity the young men and women have today. To protect our country is an honor.
I was Class 71-01 at Laredo. Finished sixth and since the two fighter slots were gone, I picked the O-2 to be a FAC. Flew 300 combat missions and then became a T-37 IP. Have not flown now in something like 40 years and videos like this bring it all back. I genuinely miss the turn and burn.
Jesus saves!
Thank you for your service, particularly as a FAC. My private pilot instructor had been a FAC in Vietnam before I met him. Fantastic flyer and instructor, and a humble man. He never mentioned that his FAC tour was his second one, and that he had flown A-1s on his previous tour.
9:20 "The low level environment is definitely a not regime where you want to be doing other things...". He says, as he's casually narrating away like he's sitting at a picnic table with a hot dog in one hand and a beer in the other... Amazing multi-tasking skills.
Favorite was: "just typical training scenario" like this was run of the mill, doing it eyes closed type of thing 🤣 just incredible mind/body/spirit performance
This guy is just flying around in an F16 having a frank chat about life.
Loving this, this is where you want to share this with kids matter what their current lives entail, it’s a case of them getting to know that if they can overcome their current situations they can do cool stuff life this.
Don’t stop dreaming!
You’re dreams keep you alive.
Genuinely the best fighter-related video I’ve seen. It’s simple, but all the important flight data is in there. Clean look, high quality. THIS is what youtube is made for.
I always wanted to become a fighter pilot growing up, scored high grades in middle school, went to the gym, had great health, and I even did some breathing-technique sessions, watching fighter videos, where you could see the g-forces on screen, and tried to keep up the right breathing-technique throughout the video. Did the same when playing FSX and WarThunder, and eventually got the technique down.
Then, at age 16, right before I was supposed to enter highschool, I had a massive seizure and broke my left shoulder, and got diagnosed with epilepsy (which rules out any chance of me getting any sort of piloting license).
All dreams thrown right in the bin. Everything I’ve worked for, now useless.
That’s why I praise these videos, because this is as close as I’ll ever get to that dream. Thank you for this, and I hope you keep on posting these sort of videos. It truly makes my day.❤
Best regards

Great footage and good advice for anyone who wants to be a pilot. My cousin was a Squadron leader in the UK RAF until he retired. He now works in commercial aviation.
When was your cuz “over there”? I was ‘88-‘91 492nd TFS
Oh nvm RAF
Being a native Las Vegan, every time I hear you guys over head, I stop & say thanks. Thanks for what you guys provide us. Not everyone below is unaware. ✌🇺🇲
yet when told they will follow orders to invade other countries
I'm English. I remember back in 1989, I was driving in the Lake District and a Tornado very clearly used me as a target as I drove down a road perpendicular to his flight.
The timing of him going overhead vs my position on the road... he clearly practised either a bomb drop of a strafe. It was pretty cool tbf. Now THAT was Low Level Flying!!
There was another time one flew over my house (Kirkby Thore), from the blind side and I actually squatted and ducked, it scared me to death! No joke, it can't have been more than 80ft above the roof, I could clearly see the markings on the tail and wings. TLL in the Lake District was actually AMAZING in those days! I'm not sure they would get away with it nowadays.
i clean pools out by Luke AFB in Arizona beat times out there cleaning when they fly around lol
Thanks for what exactly?
I'm ten miles due west of Nellis. When they go out to play, there are several paths taken north. When they're coming back to base, they tend to fly over my house. LOVE it!!! Everything in the USAF inventory has gone over! B-2's, F-everything, C-everything. Just WOW. B-1's heading back home in Kalifornia at dusk with the afterburners going! Noisy but WOW.
I've been a dad for four and a half years now, and my appreciation for these guys not flying too low over residential areas if they don't have to, has increased to a whole new level. It's a hard thing when you finally get your six month old to sleep and they get jolted awake by some loud noise you can't control.
Whiner. It's the sound of freedom!
Great Video. Loved your book "The Art of Clear Thinking" and have shared it with many I'm mentoring . My first low level flight in west Texas my back seat instructor said I was too aggressive. I said we were well above treetop level, and he said those weren't trees, that was sage brush. I was below 100 feet for the entire run. Most of my class were "Zoomies". I was one of an handful who were not. Everyone wanted a fighter slot. Only two got one, the class leader whose father was a general and the other to my roommate who married a wing commanders daughter. I got the only tactical C-130 which disappointed me until several missions would have made great movie fodder if tales could be told. Most got tankers, bombers, and FAC slots flying aluminum speedbrakes. Lessons learned have provided me a lifetime of rewarding opportunities. I only realized in my late 70"s why I was repeatedly placed in leadership positions while desperately trying to back fill technical gaps. It's not what you know. It's the ability to see clearly, be present and execute. There is little in life requiring more presence than flying 600+ mph 18 inches (sometimes less) from another aircraft. You're not going to worry if you have enough quarters for the laundromat.

I could never imagine being annoyed at fighter jets flying over lol. That makes me want to move there! Great stuff
ITs awesome for the first few weeks. then when it happens at all hours of the day and night it gets old. This is coming from a USAF pilot myself. It doesn't bother me but I can definitely understand how it would annoy those who don't care about aviation.
@@LaxMan2k yeah I totally get it if it's all hours of the night...I didn't consider that ig 🤣
@@jpierce2l33t yeah its great when its new, like your first time at a base, then you quickly get sick of fast jets taking off. they will always be cool, but all hours of the day when you cant speak to someone next to you or trying to watch tv its gets old real quick living with it lol
The F22’s are the worst, they are so annoying. Especially if you have kids trying to sleep. Couple that with Ospreys and you will be very tired of the constant noise.
Ah…be careful what you wish for.
Absolutely beautiful. Loved this. The way that second viper drifted into the shot gave me goosebumps. So awesome
I wanted to be a fighter pilot since I was a child… I regret not going for it. I became a private pilot… not quite the same tho, is it. Amazing video! So much admiration for all you military pilots out there! ❤
I wish I could be one. IBS disbars you from any and all military service.
Dude don't beat yourself up about it, you've made some pretty cool choices the allow you to afford to fly private. The pay is shit in the Military so its not all rainbows and blowjobs
I live in Canada but my dream is to join usaf I feel like I would go through the lengths to become a us citizen but only time will tell
As the son of a private/commercial pilot, you guys are just as cool! Which plane do you fly?
You can still do it if you’re not too old!
I love how casual he is talking while flying low altitude
Practice practice practice
Didn't talk at all while landing.
I know, amazing. He's doing a podcast while canyon carving in an F-16!
@@michaelchimenti4989 Might have an altitude hold on the autopilot, making life very easy.
It demonstrates that all could be pilots, but not all pilots could be fighter pilots. I suggest reading the book “The Hunter Killers” by former F-16 Wild Weasel pilot Dan Hampton. Among many things, he discusses the challenges of putting a bomber (B-52) pilot into a fighter jet and then try to train him as a Wild Weasel pilot. Not everyone can talk, walk, chew gum, and juggle 10 softballs in the air at the same time. Semper Fi!
Great video! I fly this same route out of Nellis in MSFS. I know real-world you are supposed to stay above 3000 AGL until the Kern Valley airport, but I love ripping around the corner and crossing the lake on the deck! Cool that you can see the Needles...I usually fly between the peaks! I take the Jedi Transition over through Star Wars Canyon...loop back around several times and then RTB back to Nellis. It's a fun flight! Thanks for sharing what this looks like real-world!
There’s been so many debates on whether or not they still allow low level flying through Star Wars canyon (specifically Jedi transition) due to 2 fatal F-18 crashes in 2019 and 2021 I believe. But this video confirms it! I live in vegas and have wanted to take my dad our there for years but didn’t think we would see any! If only Hasard throw out some insider info for the future 😅👏😂
@@Hug_life So, they still are not able to fly through there. This video shows part of the Sidewinder low level route which doesn't run through Star Wars canyon. The actual canyon run is part of what is called the JEDI Transition, which runs from the West side of Sidewinder and meets back up with it on the East side.
I used to camp and fish along the upper Kern a lot and was lucky enough to see an F16 come by low and slow, hugging the canyon walls. It was amazing! It looked like I could have lobbed a baited hook high enough to snag it! I bet you guys have a blast doing that!
Great video. Brings back some good memories. Retired from air force in 1982 and was stationed at general dynamics in 1978 and 1979. Worked right in the plant and watched the first f16 take off and fly around. Tail number was 78001. I now live in aurora, CO and have Buckley not far away. Still like the sound of the f16. Have lots of lithographs from when I was stationed at GD. Enjoy your career. My 20 years was the best part of my life.😊
Jesus saves!
Thank you for your service!
I live just North of the AFA & hear F-16s a lot too. Can't mistake them.
I was a crew chief in the 474th TFW when we converted from F-4's to F-16's. I never did get an incentive ride so it is awesome to be able to watch these videos. Thank you so much Sir.
1st glance at me being a African American 42 year old who was raised in low and middle class communities. I was always into aviation military especially. I was always watching Wings and Wings of the Red Star on the Discovery channel.
Born and raised in Hampton Va home of the FF 1st fighter Wing at Langley, I remember when the Gulf War started . The 1st aircraft that I seen deployed was the F-117s and C-5 galaxy and C 121 Star Lifters. And the F-15s from the 71st Hat in the Ring.
Anyways,it don't matter what race,culture or background your from to be successful in life. Be the judge and jury of your destiny and deal with people with EQUALITY.
PEACE TO ALL AVIATORS WHO LOVE FLIGHT.
I CAN HEAR THE RAPTORS NOW IN THERE FLIGHT PATTERNS TAKING OFF FROM LANGLEY.
Well said sir. Too many being raised and told by the powers at be to make excuses for lack of success.
You can do both!
I did six years in the infantry. Loved it and would have stayed in, but my LW convinced me to get out.
I'm in the video game industry now. Love it here too!
Incredible. Love the cinematography, particularly the reflections of the wing off the canopy ❤️
And that landing was just butter. Awesome stuff, thanks for taking us on that ride! Oh, as far as being a good steward, you could occasionally treat a few of us to the sound of a Viper rippin' by at full mil. It's a RUSH!
To the DCS fans, im pretty sure we pass that stadium from Nellis far to quickly lol. Amazing video such a interesting watch. 🇬🇧
I'm (also) a video games designer, but would love to be a fighter pilot 😅
😅 I couldnt become Military or commercial Pilot due to my eyes so i had to fall back to Software dev and fly smol planes privately 😢😢
When video game jockeys can actually experience 8 G's, then video games might possibly be worth playing. Otherwise, you're just playing with your pudd in your parent's basement.
My uncle piloted the F4 phantom in Vietnam when I was a kid, a few holidays he'd come home on leave and I was in awe, I wanted to ask him questions but he didn't talk about it, so I didn't ask, I was 10 in 1970. God bless all who serve this great country.🇺🇸🙏
And peasants with sticks drove away the "largest army in the world", i.e. junkies, bandits and idiots. Vietnam: empire of shit 1:0
Thank you, Sir, for sharing this with all your viewers.
I am a student pilot with a C172 and I appreciate you reminding / remembering the basic foundation of Aviate Navigate and Communicate.
I love how you have your "pilot" voice for ATC and within seconds, change up for "civilian" voice. Almost like 2 languages. 😊
Thank you again and God bless you and yours. Stay safe.
Quality video and talk. Thanks for taking the time to make it and to the USAF for allowing it.
Living the dream, what a flying machine. Thank you for your service.
Beautiful, thank you for your service and for posting this.
Love the F-16, and the A-10, 2 platforms that should never disappear from our arsenal.
No, the A-10 needs to disappear. Its a threat to its own pilots and at one point it was a threat to friendly ground troops too. Its a plane that has no real place on a modern battlefield fighting against peer adversaries. It shouldve been canned in the 90s. And as much as I love the F-16, it's getting a bit up there in age. Its good we're already producing such an advanced replacement.
@@majorborngusfluunduch8694 as much as modern replacement goes, F22 is a better replacement which Congress stupidly stopped for cost reasons... And as for foreign allies, they only get handled a lesser F35...
Gen 6 might be much better but it's gonna take a long time for the fleet to ramp up... (IMO those should still be called gen 5.5 cos gen5 is so limited to only F22 and F35, sans the adversary birds...)
Beautiful Footage, Thanks For Sharing. Safe Skies 🌅
Thank you, blue skies...
Got to admire these fighter jocks. What an amazing career to have.
Excellent video Sir, and as always thank you for your service
Thanks for this session. I've worked pilot training system from 1990 reaching back to the ACMI and working some on TCTS 2 though retired early this year. It was excellent seeing a flight from the pilot's perspective and this was the first time I've actually observed the wing flexing though I've helped work those problems with the pods. I enjoyed the narration as well. Thanks again -- subscribed!
I know this type of flying has its stresses but man that looks so relaxing. Beautiful stuff!

So enjoyable! I really had a blast with that crisp footage. I worked flightline on Boeing jets back in the 1970's and focus on quality control was top priority for everyone flying unlike the bean counters that were/are in control of the company today! Thank you so much!
JESUS SAVES!
Absolutely badass video, thanks for sharing! Thank you for your service brother!
This is simply amazing!! Such a great quality of video!!
My dad was a fighter mechanic and I have seen them up close and personal. Never got to see footage this good of OPS. 👍
this is so cool, thank you for this. i used to work as an avionics tech for 16s in the air force and always wondered what you guys did up there. i now work on the 737 as a civilian but the 16 will always be my favorite aircraft
thanks for your service
Thanks so much Sir for the ride along. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Stay safe. Jim
Thank you to you and the entire group of men and women it takes to make up our United States Air Force. Technology has given us a chance at a nearly one-of-a-kind perspective that is the final destination of so much effort of all who contributed in making it possible.
Love your content. Wanted to be a usaf fighter pilot. Life chose another path for me. Successful but will never lose that want. Living vicariously through you bud
Amazing graphics. You went and got an actual jet to satisfy your need for the refresh rate. Kudos, sir. Thanks for the video and your service to our country.
Wow! Thanks for the ride Sir! Thanks for your service as well!
Here in Wisconsin, I used to have the C-130’s doing low flying over my property. I absolutely love it. I’m sad they don’t do it anymore. Being a former Marine, I painted “USMC” on the roof of one of my buildings (I own an old mink ranch and 30 acres). They flew so low they would rock the wings at times when I was waving! Very very cool!!!!
The way each pilot has each other's 6 by looking over their bird on the way in is good stuff. VF-41 Tomcat maintainer here, and I miss that.
Man this video was great thanks. Always admire the non-verbal communication to check the bird for damages.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice to this great country sir!
Congrats on your success. I was able to get into flight school for the army. Had the same attitude about asking and knowing is better than never asking and not knowing.
Fantastic visuals! Can’t believe I’ve never checked on real-time NAV or AF low level runs. Happy you guys put this on YT! Yonder and into the sun, driver!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I was a Comm/Nav/ECM tech throughout the 1980s. It is always great to get to see these systems in operation.
Love it. Keep up the good work.
So enjoyable! I really had a blast with that crisp footage. Thank you so much! So what games would you develop in your second life as a video game developer? Any particular interest in a specific genre? And also: why does your voice over radio sound so different from your real life voice? Your wingman sounds dope and terrifying ;D
To make them sound cool, I imagine
While it is a pressure-demand o2 system, you are talking against the pressure, and the fidelity of the radio system isn't the greatest.
@@beverlychmelik5504I understand almost nothing of what either of them said on the radio
Been my childhood dream to be a fighter pilot. In another life im a life long career F-15 pilot. Life had other plans for me that was out of my control. Truck driver now. I absolutely love your videos its closest I'll get to seeing fighter jets from pilots perspective. So now right this second im gonna hop in Microsoft flight simulator and fly this area here in a viper. Keep being amazing!
Snap ! Since 6yrs old dreamed of flying fighters. Minor Eyesight issue prevented it. Now drive trucks too. Also speedboats, professionally. Fly gliders and kitesurf for kicks. Spent 15years and a silly number of hours in falcon 4 too hahah. You do what you can.👍👍
Regards from a random dude half a world away probably😎
That’s a superb footage, awesome!
Brilliantly flown and explained too - the work rate must be enormous so a calm “chat” to the viewer is even more impressive.
14:38 what was the signal to your wingman - you’re breaking formation prepratory to landing?
(Awesome video btw :)
❤ Amazing flying! I've always wished I could be taken up for a flight in one of these!
You can try this experience, even virtually, with a VR headset and DCS game.
@@alisav3655 My son has one of those & it was really freaking neat but, I wish that I could experience the real thing.

Thank you for sharing the experience with us.
The low level environment is definitely not one where you want to be doing anything other than flying... and narrating a CZcams video. And I'm glad you did. Awesome video!
Fantastic footage Hansard Lee so proud of the US Air Force Thank You for sharing this unique footage my dream was to be a Pilot when I left school but instead of Flying them I ended up Jumping from them C-130 & Chinook that is!!

As someone that lives near an Air Force base(Luke) I really wish you guys would fly around lower, I love hearing and seeing you guys 😃.
A very special video for me because I camp around this area and watch you guys fly above all the time.. love it. Thanks
lucky man, i saw a air force jet fly overhead once really fast but I couldn’t id it. Only time I saw one in person in my little area
Amazing flight! Thanks for the share and always happy landings!
I wanted to be a fighter pilot after high school and the recruiter told me I was too short to fly the jets to reach the peddles and should join the marines instead. Until this day i still dream what if I became a fighter pilot…😊.
Thank you for your service sir! I envy your work!
The pedals are adjustable
Damn sorry to hear that ! Your recruiter lied
Just chatting away, answering viewers questions, making interesting conversation.....and not S C R E A M I N G !! while flying low level in an F16 through mountainous terrain. (Yes, I know he is a brilliantly experienced fighter pilot, but it just seems so crazy and relaxed). Wonderful stuff and so cool to share in. Thanks for posting your work.
Visiting with the Camera, making all the course corrections on target, visiting about the Landscape and Life Goals, doing checklist stuff(you see his leg notebook at one point); Never misses a Radio call and appears to have Great Situational awareness as Wingman slips in alongside(then all around him).. All zooming along at speed and for part of the Flight, really low.. Never broke a sweat or got excited.. Just a bit at the last when his head was on a swivel he was a tad quiet(watching for that Mystery Whatever thing/craft around a Landing Strip)
This was SO Satisfying to watch..
Thanks Flip, and Hasard
Airforce, Navy, Marines, Army, Coast Guard…. Every pilot, weapons officer, naval flight officer…. Is trained hard to be steady as a rock. Try landing these things at night on a moving aircraft carrier in high seas and heavy rain. We do this stuff every day. All about professionalism and training.
@@gerryp9717 Hi there, yep, I totally get that. I have actually done a lot of flying over the years and am a huge fan of military aviation, so I do know about the huge levels of training and professionalism that go into what we see. I just thought I would make a joke, mostly at my own expense, as if it were me, I would be the one screaming! Thanks so much for the reply and fly safe!
Thank you for this content sir 👍🏻
This is awesome. I used to love going to Vegas, and watching the jets fly over the Petro truck stop. And y’all put on a heck of a air show!!!
Great footage. I knew it was NTTR just by the runway. Was confirmed when I saw the stadium! Been flying red air F18c BFM over and over in DCS World. Love seeing the area in real life!
My biggest dream was always to be a fighterpilot but because I have diabetic typ one im not allowed to. U life my dream
😢
Great video, great advice and thank you for your service.
FAR 121.542, often referred to as the "Sterile Cockpit Rule", reads: (a) No certificate holder shall require, nor may any flight crewmember perform, any duties during a critical phase of flight except those duties required for the safe operation of the aircraft.
Pretty sure answering vlog questions is not required for the safe operation of an aircraft...
and let's not forget FAR 91.117(a), "unless otherwise authorized by the Administrator, no person may operate an aircraft below 10,000 feet MSL at an indicated airspeed of more than 250 knots (288 mph)".
I flew around in the jump seat of a CRJ-200 with Air Wisconsin back in 2000, it was sterile cockpit below 10,000 feet. Only acknowledgement of ATC.
Love it when you guys fly over my house, ain’t bothering me at all! Especially during Red Flag, nothing like seeing a B1 flying at night
Thanks for the ride along.......Brilliant !!
That was very educational, thank you
Nice
It "only" takes three things.. bro u cant be allowed to fly with simple things like impaired vision or disabilities.
Plus presets of having access to education and so on
Well I think that’s pretty obvious
Stunning thank You 👍🏼
Mate that was fantastic thanks
love the insight brother...thanks for your service...nose high goes high
Flown out of L05 Kern Valley airport many a time in my RV-12, upper right side at the end of Lake Isabella, and have heard you guys fly over quite high, many a time while having breakfast there. Get into Joshua controlled airspace a bit every time I fly that way. Lot's to learn and do when you're just starting to fly with a Sport Pilot's license in a Van's RV-12 at 64 years of age. Thanks for all you do and for serving your country. Only the best make it to fighter pilot training without washing out. Very enjoyable video, I'm pretty much limited to 12000 ft, so I don't get to see the Sierra Nevada Range like you showed in this video. Great stuff, very captivating, subscribed.
Thanks hasard lee for always sharing the fighter pilots perspective ❤just be safe😊
This is amazing video’s recording that I never saw before, I really enjoyed; I thank you for share your skill:
God Bless brother… Thank you Airmen for all you do. RIP SM/Sgt Pagliassotto
Super cool!!! thanks for sharing this!!
Watching this brings back memories for this Air Defence Artillery Gunner who got to get 10 backseat flights in a CF104 Starfighter while I was posted in Baden Germany. I learnt how much FUN flying in a fighter jet was.
Great video. Loved it. Thanks.
I just can’t get enough of these videos
WOW! AWESOME FOOTAGE! THANK YOU FOR THE RIDE!!!!!! AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
Awesome flight. Reassuring to know we have the best trained pilots in the world. Thank you so much for your service!
Great video! Appreciate the narrative. Cheers.
i LOVE ur videos it allways puts a smile on my face when i think about how it isnt impossible to become a fighterpilot
That was bad ass. Thanks for the ride along.
Nice flashback to my F-111 low level flying days from Mtn Home AFB. Excellent footage and commentary. Thanks for sharing.
(P.S. I've been at 600mph at 50 feet off the deck - for about 15 seconds - and 600mph around an entire low level route. It's great fun! But as you say, the time between everything being okay and it all ending is very short. Awareness required throughout.)
You know when you are flying low level passes in the F16 it important that you don’t have anything else to do besides concentrate on not making a crater on the ground… you know, like narrating video footage and talking with your CZcams followers, cause that could be distracting… omg, seriously? That was freaking priceless, dude. Excellent “hold me beer” moment if there ever was one. Am very thankful for the Air Force for allowing you to film and post this sort of thing as many people have no clue who, how and why these planes fly. Bless you for serving our country. I feel very good about people such as yourself and those serving along side you defending, if necessary, our great country, ally’s and partners around the globe. The training to be best prepared is of high importance and will be obvious when things get ugly. It is then when the USA will reap the benefits of its investment into the best people, equipment and support mechanisms on Earth.
That sure was great. This guy loves his job, and we are lucky to have such pilots in our military!
I really enjoy watching y'all when I'm at the drag strip LVMS.
Thanks for this great video and nice landing 😊
