I was in the Air Force and seen Mike fly many times. I finally got to meet him personally at an air show in Rhodes Island. I was completely starstruck. He is a true class act.

[@k.s.7104]

Mike Goulian is an amazing aviator. I am sure it was no doubt an amazing thrill for him given the equipment he got to fly in but Goulian is such an amazing pilot. Gotten to see him fly a few times. This pilot had absolute confidence in Mike G to hand it over to him, that's a great show of RESPECT from one aviator to another.....Enjoyed this 👍🇺🇸

[@bw33511]

I could not imagine having to transition from being a fighter pilot to the civilian world.....

[@gd2795]

Yeah right it would be like racing formula one to have to race lawnmowers nothing would be as bad ass as An f16! Except for maybe f22 or eurofiter

[@DILLIGAF2101]

Come pay day in the civilian world, it all comes together.

[@joeys8701]

Work with a retired fighter pilot in the aviation domain now and youd never expect it. Quiet, easy going, not cocky. Think part of it is bravado that keeps them on point 24/7. Knowing you’re competing with the bests and wanting to be the best can make some people perform extremely well.

[@joeg5414]

I come running out of the house to look at every Cessna that flies by 😂 this would make my day. And I was stationed at a base with f16s and worked in airfield management, so not like I haven't had my share of sitting on the hold line while they depart in full afterburner.

[@heathfitzgerald363]

I couldnt begin to tell you how many families on boats that i have surpised while out flying. Probably scared them half to death. The one i remember most was when i knew my parents and their friends were out on the water and i made a couple of passes over them. My dad told me later on when i called him that he was giving me the finger

[@noellealissa2206]

That hilarious what your Dad did! Lol

[@tommynikon2283]

Wow- for an experienced Extra 300 guy, when Mike says the F-16 stick is "touchy", it must REALLY be.....because the Extra is also.

[@gitbse]

Yea, but the extra has a center stick that moves alot. The viper stick responds to pressure

[@mistermaster38]

from what ive heard the f16 was designed so you can only move the stick 2-3 inch each way and requires verrry little input to help reduce pilot fatiuge

[@dirtyketchup]

@@mistermaster38 Not even a full inch. Just 1/4", and that wasn't even in the design. The original YF-16 prototype was a completely fixed stick designed with 0 flex. The pilots hated this, and ultimately the design was changed to allow 1/4" of movement purely for pilot sensory feedback, but the movement has nothing to do with the actual flight control input, as that is a 100% FBW pressure-based system.

[@johnmarksmith1120]

I love the backdrop of mundane General and Commercial Aviation on comms. To me, it would be a constant reminder not to take even a second for granted.

I'd love to get a ride in the Edge 540. Got my F-15 and F-16 squares filled. Goulians right bayonet is not in far enough. Mask not tight enough.

[@SteveFenerjian]

Mike is a great guy . He knows my cousins and had the pleasure of him flying us in their old plane from Hanscom (Bedford MA) to Portland Maine back 20 years ago. Still the smoothest landing i have ever experienced.... this def must have been a dream for him ... Congrats Mike !!!!!! Excited to find your channel. great stuff.

These guys getting out of airplanes like this and retiring, need to get into race cars. Not quite the g's, but a lot of fun and your life is on the line.

[@everythingyoudwanttoknow]

I can confirm. The best ride in the world. Winnemucca , NV 2002 National Guard's F16. A happy Finnish boy here. I trade my 60 L/D of my sailplane to that trust any day :D

[@dirtyketchup]

I'm so confused. Isn't Goulian a professional racer who pulls 10g all the time? Why does he look like he's struggling so much with breathing in the G's? And why were his 4-point rolls so bitched? I know he's a badass behind the stick, but for some reason this video made him look like an amateur.
