There was some UA pilot trained in the US for 2-years at some top flight school then died within 2-weeks of air combat in UA. It's all good trying to win close air-to-air dogfights but when SAMs are capable of destroying even the best hypersonics, there is no more game. Useless training as even the new air-to-airs are far superior at maneuvering beyond what any top human can take. Basically, all this stuff looks cool but is lethally obsolete. It's not obsolete if it's not against 1st-world nations of course but a lot of 1st-world nations are giving their top equipment and tech to all the other countries so who knows what is really on the ground or even in the air.

A lot of folks in specialized lines of work won't watch movies or TV shows that feature that work because they get too irritated by the mistakes made in the presentation. A lot of police officers won't watch police procedural shows. Firefighters have the same issues with Backdraft and Ladder 49. It just requires too much suspension of disbelief to sit back and enjoy the movie. Of course, some *do* watch them just to scoff and make snarky comments over beers. Years ago I took the PADI basic open-water diving course. At the end of the course our instructor held a movie night, with pizza, soda (we were all too young for beer) at which The Abyss was the main attraction. Why? Because having completed the course we could now appreciate how bad most of the diving scenes were. When a bunch of college kids with nothing more than a basic scuba certification start yelling "No way!" and throwing snarky comments at your million dollar undersea epic... I would imagine that fighter pilots would do the same with Top Gun and the Iron Eagle series. Just...you probably wouldn't be able to air the footage, because so much of it would have to be bleeped out.

As a person who admires fighter pilots from games, movies, tv, and in the real pilots who serve. This video has given me a whole new appreciation as I never saw how much the G-force really meant to the pilot themselves as well how much focuses it takes to train your eyes on the target while under heavy stress.

[@proles101]

I G-locked (blacked out) at 7G in an aerobatic plane (passenger) with no previous training, I never saw it coming...

[@terrydactyl2077]

So obviously learning the physical techniques and practicing them helps, but does repeated exposure to high G forces somehow help them maintain composure and not pass out? Or is it strictly all down to how well they do those techniques (straining and forced breathing etc) is the reason they seem so good at it?

[@GlitchyRijndael]

@@terrydactyl2077studies indicate that people have a natural resilience to G forces that doesn’t change much over their life. Some people have a higher resistance, others have a lower, and thah natural resistance can’t be improved or changed. However the high g force techniques (such as the bracing and breathing) and the g suits can significantly help improve your resilience, and with more flight time you get better at the techniques and can maintain them for longer. (Physical fitness is also key)

Being able to deal with the sensory and information overload, whilst simultaneously withstanding super high gee, and on top of all that presenting a video is just superhuman. It’s absolutely no wonder why all the early astronauts were drawn from the best of the best amongst the fighter pilots, they’re just a different breed entirely 👏

[@PsychoticWolfie]

To be honest, seems simpler than my fast food job. Not that I think it's simple, or doesn't take skill, but managing 7 different cars in your drive thru at once, watching multiple screens on multiple registers, keeping the drive-time down, remembering which car you pulled forward has which meal to be sent out, checking your station to make sure everything is stocked, remembering to complete closing tasks as early as possible, keeping dishes washed if possible so closers don't have to do everything, and so on and so forth... Sometimes you have to do both drive-thru and lobby at the same time (eat-in) I'm pretty sure it's the same sensory overload, different job. You just need to be able to learn well and give yourself enough time and experience. And that's coming from someone who does both, albeit in simulators for the dogfighting.

[@PsychoticWolfie]

And yes, if you're wondering, I think remembering protocols and buttons and switches and checkouts and callsigns and the different orders for all of these, when you're supposed to do them, what you're supposed to do in what type of dogfight situation, are as easy to learn and memorize as anything else. It's all information, and I'd rather be learning that information than flipping burgers.

[@xnSly]

@@PsychoticWolfie I appreciate your perspective and the complexity of your job. However, comparing the two roles might be a bit like comparing apples to oranges. While both jobs require multitasking, attention to detail, and quick decision-making, the stakes and consequences of errors in a fighter jet are significantly higher. In a fast food job, a mistake might result in an incorrect order or a delay in service, which, while frustrating, is not life-threatening. In contrast, a mistake in a fighter jet could result in loss of life or millions of dollars in equipment. Moreover, the physical and mental demands of flying a fighter jet are immense. Pilots must withstand high G-forces, manage a multitude of complex systems, and make split-second decisions in high-stress situations. They also undergo rigorous training and selection processes to ensure they can handle these pressures. Lastly, the learning curve for each job is different. While both require memorization and understanding of protocols, the technical knowledge and skills required to fly a fighter jet are far more complex and specialized than those needed for a fast food job. In conclusion, while both jobs have their own unique challenges and complexities, the risks, demands, and skills required for flying a fighter jet are on a different scale.

[@Conrad914]

​@@PsychoticWolfiein a simulator, you cant feel the Gs of the aircraft. simulators do not give you the full feel of reality.

[@PsychoticWolfie]

@@Conrad914 Eh, it depends. Astronauts in training get G-force simulations in a centrifuge, and I believe fighter pilots may also get training with G-forces before flying themselves, but I could be wrong. A simulation can be as accurate to reality as you want it to be, assuming you have the resources. That's not to say that common downloadable simulators, even the best ones, even come close to providing a realistic experience. But the most complex and accurate ones only make me want to learn more and more about how to fly a fighter jet. Rather than finding it intimidating, I find it more and more interesting the more I learn about it, and realize just how much I actually haven't learned yet. I find my fast food job fun but I'd take the complexities of being a fighter pilot over it any day of the week, assuming I were in the position to do so.

why , i am sincerly curious :) . what is that for situations . thanks :)

[@StereotypicalShea]

@@kimpedersen4746 In all genuine honesty it's just a much more difficult and higher stakes type of flying. While both Air Force and Navy fly similar model fighter jets, Air Force gets to land on land more often than not meanwhile Navy Pilots have to perform their flight hours at sea on the aircraft carrier. That means not only are you working 6 days a week operationally with no real outside communication / education resources, but you're landing on a 20 to 30 knot speed aircraft carrier into and trying to get your to tailhook to snag the steel arresting wire amidst your own control of the jet against the variable movement of the aircraft carrier and the ocean waves against it all to rapidly decelerate yourself to a proper landing... otherwise you're going overboard if you don't catch the last of the 4 steel wires and accelerate to stay airborne and try again. No shade to Air Force pilots intended at all, I just think it's a much more taxing training exercise in my personal opinion. Also, a lot more training exercises in Pacific water as you're sharing that ocean with the Russians and the Chinese, moreso 7th fleet than 3rd and 5th but still. Just higher stakes all round.

Absolutely riveting!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!! I am a 2,000 hr private pilot--SR22 and A36--and MD500 as the spotlight/FLIR guy for the Sheriiff's Dept. Wanted to fly F4's in Nam, but had burn scars over 80 % of me from a childhood accident, so they passed on me. Bummer---but I guess it will works out!!!!!!!! Thanks again for letting us fly along with you!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!

Thanks to my father who was a cop but obsessed with the Air Force, I grew up loving everything related to it from Top Gun to Ace Combat and took that game *way* too serious lol. He passed in a car accident when I was 12 but I still have the metal jet figurine he gave me up on my bookshelf. Almost 20 years later found out from grandmother on my mother's side that half my family, her siblings and in-laws, were in the military and air force in the 60's-70's. Jumping from planes and flying them. I ended up in a different and entirely fulfilling field but also worked for years in the security field and my brother works in cybersecurity for the gov so I'm assuming it's in the blood lol. Randomly searched up dogfights because I remember it being some of the most captivating stuff to watch on the History channel growing up. As cool as it is dangerous, but this video just demonstrated that tenfold for me. I'm still obsessed with it. More like an anime fight than martial arts, one hit and you're doneskis. Still young enough to apply. Eh.. think I'll settle for a license 😅🚁

Thank you on so many levels. My dad was in the Air Force from 1947-1955. He was a Mustang driver in Korea. He had an old Cessna 182 and he put me behind the stick ( yoke, in a 182) when I was 16. We lived out by Nellis for a short time in 1972 and we watched Red Flag from the roof of our trailer. Your video is awesome.

This is some of the BEST narration of air combat manoeuvring I’ve been fortunate to listen to, as a Brit who trained in the States to flight instructor & had the privilege of being in the same airspace (albeit not military) observing these guys from afar, ultimate respect for your airmanship... my aviation career didn’t quite “take off” the way I’d planned but, to have experienced flight in your country (compared to the highly restricted airspace in the UK) & the access to fly into military fields on parallel runways with jet fighters was an experience I’ll never forget - btw listening to the breath holds & “puffs” to control blood flow (even wearing a G suit) was intoxicating 🤪 thanks for putting this online

[@Puppy_Puppington]

That’s life buddy. Sometimes it’s just pure bad luck or good luck. “ 🍀 “ no matter how hard you try and train. You are dealt the cards you are dealt. Some things you can’t do anything about. So just enjoy it as much as ya can I say. One way ride with one ticket for all we know.

[@Hug_life]

Fun fact, the Air Force never denied an age waiver. It was such a guarantee that they upped the age to 33 instead of 30 to reduce the paperwork because of all the waivers. That being said, there are still age waivers sent in and they still get approved. Highest waiver I’ve heard was for 36yo for the Air National Guard, but the Air Force inevitably was the ones who approve or deny those requests.🤘🏽

[@capri5246]

I play a lot of VR flight simulator and one of the things we love to joke about when flying around is how we would all be very very dead from how many Gs we would be pulling in real life. It’s definitely more fun because we don’t have to worry about g forces (or dying) so the dog fights are so much more fast paced. That’s the main part that stood out to me in this video, it really surprised me how slow an actual dog fight is. Obviously I knew it wasn’t like in a video game or in the movies but, it’s like completely different.

proper 20/20 vision keeps bones in proper place in the shoulders and neck as well. without 20/20 vision you wont have the skeleton to do the work at hand. also 20/20 vision keeps the mind sharper. go without glasses for a few years and see how crazy you act and feel compared to a week or two after your new glasses.

[@Lunadoeslotsofstuff]

Yeah, that's why they want to phase out the human. It's so cool to watch these aircraft.

[@jadariius09]

@@Lunadoeslotsofstuffthe same amount of stress taken by the pilots is also applied to the plane which can take some damage from high gs

[@whocares4574]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@jadariius09r planes sure but definitely not on modern jets. On modern jets, the stress amounts are nowhere near each other. At the G point where humans fail, the jet they’re piloting is practically relaxing in a hot tub. If a modern jet manages to reach damaging Gs, it most certainly isn’t being piloted by a human on board because, at that point, the human pilot would have been passed out (or dead from the Gs) long before the point was reached. Of course time is a factor. Even low Gs can cause damage but that’s over a long period of time. In combat, everything is to the limit. If you treat your jet like it’s a baby, you’ll accomplish nothing.

[@user-hu8fn2jp5v]

​​@@whocares4574ot true. Sustained gs are horrible for the aircrafts frame. 9gs can literally bend a hornet for instance. There a reason why planes are given g limiters, the "over g" Betty sound. The over g sound isn't for the pilot but it's for the aircraft 6:44 he literally said it

[@NihongoWakannai]

@@user-hu8fn2jp5v Yeah it's true that fighter jets are actually fairly fragile and wouldn't be able to magically handle super rough conditions without a human, but would still probably be better if we didn't have a person in there (assuming the drone pilot could do just as good a job as one in a cockpit)
