How Do Pilots Learn To Fly A Fighter Jet? | Angle Of Attack | Progress

most difficult and hazardous tasks. Eugene Ely first attempted the death-defying feat in 1911

I would have never watched this if I didn't just accidentally watch your clips posted to stories. So, if you're wondering if that works, it does. Haha.

how well trained is a fighter pilot.I watched a former jas gripen pilot that have to stop flying becourse of Alzheimer. he said that he could not often remember if he had on the toilet or not. one day they took him to saab Linköping and he tried their simulator. He did the flight with no problems, even advanced flying. how? its Muscle memory. he dont think, its so well trained that he do it without thinking. thats how well trained they are. by the way.his face after was just pure happiness

I subscribed.. Thank you for the great upload. I didn't see part 2 when I a browsed around in your channel. Did I miss seeing it or is it still being worked on? I caught the thumbnail for this video, out of the corner of my eye while watching an episode of the Canadian CF18 flight training series "Jetstream". My hat's off to all the folks that get into this dangerous business.
