- F-35 Demo Team pilot and commander, Capt. Andrew "Dojo" Olson and his wingman Maj. Aaron "Gambit" Stevens, went along for a ride with the Royal Canadian Armed Forces Snowbirds during their practice show at the 2019 Aero Gatineau-Ottawa Airshow. (U.S. Air Force Video by Senior Airman Alexander Cook)
The CT-114's a pilot's plane. It's fully manual - no fly-by-wire. The pilot really is one with their craft. That's the biggest part of the Snowbirds' mystique. Those men and women are the best there is - they have to be in order to fly a legend. . .
Awesome.. love the air brothers working together 🏅
Working my ass off to do what these amazing men and women get to do every day. Wish me luck!
Hopefully they (snowbirds) got to fly in the F-35. Canada’s next fighter jet 🤞
More than likely they'll transition to the CT-155 Hawk
But they would look so cool in super hornets!
@@GrizzAxxemann unlikelyn maybe the T-7
@@GrizzAxxemannno the ct155 hawks have too many hours on the airframes
@@goldenfalcon6702 And the Tutors don't?
Can't wait to see both of the teams in Houston !!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing this!
This was at Gatineau-Ottawa Airport.
Now if your r35 demo team could return the favor we Canucks would be most grateful! (Darn no two seater F35's!).
Thanks from Canada for sharing this!
I vote no, Canada isn’t buying the plane so no. Why should US tax payers flip the bill to entertain you?

Well, we don't know right now There is still a rather good chance that Canada will wind up with the F35. Canada did spend funds on the F35 to be part of the original commitment to the F35 program. Politics messed things up, but as it stands now, we likely will get F35's, or Super Hornets. So, at this point I feel that we Canadians will wind up with some USA fighter jet - either fighter makes a lot of sense for Canada.
@@FranklinBurns42 vote however you want , Russia will turn your vote into whatever they want. Saw the F35 here in Ottawa last weekend so suck it .....
@@FranklinBurns42 Relax dude, we all know Canada is missing out....... and the Snowbirds treated our pilots to a flight, why wouldn't we return the favor lol
@@FranklinBurns42 Canada still probably will buy the f 35, it’s the best option
Amazing video! Would love it if it was a longer, raw video. Would love to hear the radios and comms
Nice view and video!
Waaaay too short. Please post a longer edit. Oh, and please post more F35 content, too.
Great video! Can you explain a bit more just how much the g-suit helps you verses not wearing one? Can you still easily pull all the maneuvers you do in your demos?
Hey, if you want a response directly from Dojo, I would recommend leaving a comment on one of his IG posts. His @ is @andyo_dojo and he usually responds to questions. However, I may be able to answer your question. Whenever you pull a lot of G's, the blood is forced down towards your legs and away from your brain. And when your brain gets deprived of blood flow, you can black out, possibly crashing in the process. So, the G-suit actually tightens around your lower body in order to "squeeze" your legs and force the blood back up to your brain, thus preventing you from losing consciousness. So, G-suits help out a lot for maneuvers that pull 5+ G's (or so I assume). Without a G-suit, you have to take short, choppy breaths and really tighten your leg muscles. Hope that helped!

A g-suit really just stops the blood from rushing away from your head so you don’t get deaded.
Snowbirds have been called an aerial ballet.
Stellar:)
Doesn’t the Snowbirds actually account as most of the RCAF?
Another funny guy... We are not THAT low on budget.
