10 years flying an F16 and only 1000 hours in it?? Your ego is certainly bigger than your experience level. You should be checking pressurization well before FL180. A recurrent sounds in order.

Going on vacation and riding in the back of a business jet with Dad driving sure was faster than the Old Pontiac we rode 800 miles to see family when I was a kid. On the other hand, it bet it’s hard to pull over and get a BBQ sandwich and an ice tea or to play “I see a” or the Alphabet game, or any of the other games Mom played with us. She did her damnedest to entertain us for 16 hours and keep Pops from stuffing one of us in the Trunk. I bet he’d have loved a pair of those headphones. But as we celebrate Christmas this year, I fondly remember those trips and I miss the Old Folks with all my heart. That they put up with us brats is amazing to me now. It really must have been love. I can’t think of any other rational reason they did it every year.

Great job as always. I always get a kick out of people that KNOW so much about the military but NEVER served a day. I worked on the F-14 and had someone argue with me that the wings did not move. Keep up the awesome job.

I chuckle every time I hear GPWS giving a terrain warning because I use it as the ringtone on my phone. I love the looks from people when I get a call. I am not a pilot however desperately wish I was. It is one goal in my life I can't have. So I love watching these videos and 30GM is probably my favorite! I'm from Milwaukee and I live in Dallas so he is usually in an airport I know. I used to work right next to Addison in Dallas and I would spend my lunch hours watching planes come and go.

Those 38 people who voted “thumbs down” on this video still think the F-16 doesn’t have a tail hook.
I keep watching your videos because of your precision/professional flying. I learn every video. Just to make sure the haters know yeah.....you are not and instructor trying to teach. You just sharing the love of flying with us. The haters will hate. Keep it up. love the vids.

That calm, crisp, confident competence is inspiring. Love seeing smart people doing something well. Never flown a plane before but very much inspired to learn, in no small part because if this channel. Thanks for taking the time to share!
