FLYING THE F-117 NIGHTHAWK (First Stealth Jet) - Microsoft Flight Simulator

[@kirocontoy]

My uncle worked in the Pentagon and did stuff like this. I met him when I was way younger and remember his adoration for planes. The love he had for working on just designs was amazing. I have a sketch he did of a triangle plane I cherish since he passed away. Seeing military craft fly from the base nearby makes me think of him all the time. Love watching you go over these cool aircraft

[@LowkeyHundo]

As a child, I once saw a nighthawk fly over my house (I lived closed to a military airbase). Didn’t know what it was at the time. It was really cool!

[@shahzebnasir4692]

Was it Holloman AFB, New Mexico??

[@WorthlessDeadEnd]

I saw one fly at an air show over fifteen years ago. Some Air Force base, can't remember where. It didn't do anything spectacular, nothing flashy or loud, but it didn't need to. I already knew what it was capable of. I'd seen the footage of the devastation it caused in the first Gulf war. It was like watching a black panther surveying its territory. It just flew from one end of the runway to the other, but it commanded my respect and awe.

[@jonathanflugge3557]

SR-71 really wants to have a word with you.

[@TheKronikone]

Why?

[@ANONYMOUS-kl3nu]

SR-71 wasn’t a stealth bomber it was a reconnaissance stealth jet that was rediculus fast could out run missiles

[@StephenButlerOne]

Also it wasn't designed on a computer. Also the term stealth doesn't mean it can be seen it means it can't be locked on. High bomers and low fighters are detected by different frequencies for lock. The radars can see them they just cart target them with the different types of ground missiles that target them. However today it only takes a few encounters with them, for the enemy to tweak the targeting parameters to them be ablel to detect them.

[@gregritenour9910]

​@ANONYMOUS-kl3nu the sr 71 was originally going to be designed as a bomber but then they decided against it.

[@sdevilx1074]

the blackbird wasn’t a stealth aircraft, you could see it you just had no chance of catching it

[@kpb17]

Love these vids! Would love to see you take on the SR-71, U-2, B-1 bomber, and Air Force One. Maybe some WW2 planes too.

How are you guys? Will you be posting on SuperCooper soon? At least tell us what's going on over there, please?

[@lukasflorczak3410]

One of these flew over my house once in like 2003(?). Didn’t hear it until it was directly over me, playing outside, and the shadow passed overhead

[@choogy715]

12:40 it was shot down due to us running the same course every day for weeks straight. The SAM that locked onto it got lucky because the lock happened right as the bomb bays were open. The SAM launched two missiles , one missed the other blew up next to it never making direct contact.

[@youngveach]

I never get tired of the flight sim videos Keep it up Trev👍‼️

[@mikemclaughlin1268]

i love the fact shes come out of retirement a bit to help pilots train against stealth aircraft and for radarmen to train on how to detect stealth threats so her service will live on for now

[@TheUrosm1982]

It was detected and shot down by Yugoslavian Air Force in March 1999. Grettings from Belgrade, Serbia.

[@RW-zn8vy]

Because of pilot error not because of the plane

[@LIKWID]

@@RW-zn8vy It wasn't pilot error though, there were a number of reasons why it happened. I'll try to keep it as short as possible. Zoltan Dani the commander of the 250th air defence brigade had trained his crew to move equipment and set it back up in very quick time, they limited their use of the radar to avoid becoming targets for the anti radiation missiles. However upon the night of the shoot down, they were looking for the aircraft in roughly the area they knew it would fly and detected it when the bomb bay doors opened. On that same night the prowlers which were responsible for not only jamming the radars but taking them out as well, were unable to fly because of the weather. So the F117 was flying alone. They tracked the aircraft and after launching 2 missiles the second one exploded causing the F117 to fall out of the sky. They actually hit a second one as well, however that was able to land at a nearby base. Final closing fun fact for you. Dale Zelko, the F117 pilot actually met Zoltan Dani at his bakery to speak about the incident. Both of them have met each others families and have become friends to a point. The wing and canopy is in Belgrade's Aeronautical museum. I've seen the wing however the canopy wasn't on display when I visited unfortunately.

[@Billmaster115]

not even pilot error ​@@RW-zn8vy, Dani Zoltan, the one whom detected the aircraft, flipped his radar on at the exact same time the nighthawks bombay doors were open. days earlier, spies had been watching the airbase where the nighthawks were taking off and reported their deployment to the serbs whenever they took off, that would always use the exact same routes every time.

[@RW-zn8vy]

@@Billmaster115 using the exact routes is an error within itself lol but yes the pilot having the Bombay doors open after bombing is what lead to him being tracked and shot down so easily.

[@Billmaster115]

@@RW-zn8vy true, but those things are open for less than a second, it was a stroke of pure luck that has not been repeated since. Believe me, they have tried. Also, radar on low frequency picks up absolutely everything, so the only reason Dani knew it was an F1-17 is because of the flight pattern. As you have mentioned, that was an error.

[@xenonrxsexenon8761]

Liking the Fighter Jet series Trev, keep it up bro!

[@subjectc7505]

Fun fact: The nighthawk still fly's and is used against the F-22 and F-35 in exercises. Also Yugoslavia has pieces of the F-117 in thier museum.

[@aaronflrblx]

Woah! Nice!

[@DexxonGamer77]

Bro lives in the 80s. Yugoslavia😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

[@EcomBroP]

I saw one Escorting a Passenger Jet bout a year ago, was in deep Sierra Nevadas, And it was flying pretty damn low

[@schattenaffe]

I will say I've always lived near an air base. I saw one fly overhead just like a year ago! Always loved seeing them and the bomber at airshows as a kid.

[@louisesmit3795]

Umm my guy Yugoslavia is not a country anymore

[@snipercat9609]

My grandpa flew this in the 80's whenever it was experimental, this thing is so cool

„We couldn’t make it fly“ is like saying „we won“ when watching sports

These flight sim vids are so entertaining to watch. Have a great week Trev.

[@sheegus6305]

Agreed 👍

[@WorthlessDeadEnd]

Been having fun slow flying that thing over the Las Vegas strip. I'm able to keep it in the air at just above 50% thrust, or around 170~ish MPH

[@MaxandRazzle]

Wish i had a good tmartn video to watch! 😂

[@RockU2Death5150]

I flew sims in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and this was always my favorite aircraft.

Loving the flight sim vids ❤

[@xMakeyourself28x]

The fact I watched this video and now there is a missing F-35 Stealth Fighter Jet over North Carolina us nuts! Did Trev take this jet himself for his next video!? 😂 love all the work you do in, it’s awesome brother 💪

[@waynepedley5395]

How about some OG fighters? Commenters here are already asking for the P-51 Mustang, how about showing us Brits some love? The Sopwith Camel, Hawker Hurricane, and the Spitfire. And also the Messerschmitt Me-262 Schwalbe. Love to see some of those, if you haven't covered them already.

[@jay-1800]

I’d love to see him fly a Junkers Ju 87 (Stuka)

[@WhiteHatH4x0r]

5:23 They referred to it as the “Hopeless Diamond” (as in the “Hope Diamond”) because it was inherently aerodynamically unstable & shouldn’t be able to fly

[@TattleDelta]

0:13 The Boeing Model 853-21 "Quiet Bird" would like a word with you lol. Also no, we do not sell the F-22 to anyone however the F-35 was specifically developed for export.

Trev, when is there going to be another video of the boys

[@guypalmer7961]

Great series of videos there. Please could you one day consider making a video with the Boeing 777-300 and another featuring the Airbus A380? Also a flight from an Airport in the USA like the ones in Chicago, New York or Newark, to one of the UK London airports like Gatwick, Stansted or Heathrow? Thanks in advance.

One of my all time favorite jets💯

[@user-sy9jn2zf8m]

Hey man! Love the videos! Would love to see you fly the B-52. It’s not the most exciting air craft to fly in game but it’s such an interesting air craft to read about and learn. It’s history, it’s capabilities. Truly a beautiful piece of American history. I live in the UK and lucky enough to have 2 USAF bases very close so im always seeing epic American air craft like the F15, F35A, F16 (got some great pictures of them), Osprey. And many others. Im waiting for the day I hear the rumble of the B-52 though!

[@gaterehimself]

Trev, i thought we would get some 2K, the crew content... maybe even a few more episodes of starfield😅

[@raminebr]

Bro we're cruising 😂, don forget F15

[@speedbagboxer7451]

I heard the F22 Raptor is similar in the sense that it’s not very aerodynamic and needs computers to aid in stabilization. The reason (in the F22’s case) is to design a aircraft with optimal maneuverability. Also @ 12:16 u mentioned the United States exporting the F22 and that is false. The F22 was never exported. It is only being used in the U.S. We do however export the F-35.

[@donovanrichardjr.6729]

Alright this is the one I was looking forward to the Nighthawk is my favorite aircraft in the world

[@TheCrispySock]

Captain Trevor… you need to hear me out on this one!!! You need to pilot an A380!!!! Depart from London and fly to ORD!!! I challenge you to land the largest passenger aircraft and properly taxi the aircraft to the gate 😎

[@mikeceebo8611]

[@EcomBroP]

Saw this Plane Escorting a Passenger jet of some sort While fishing deep out in the Sierra Nevadas🤙 Still leaves me confused to this day

[@brianl5631]

It was most likely a refueling tanker. They are converted civilian airliners so they look very much like passenger planes from a distance.

[@nickforest]

The B2 stealth bomber was actually the first stealth aircraft for the us air force

[@Hunter_2-1]

I had the privilege of being a mechanic for that bird. Cool plane.

[@joshuasill1141]

Due to all the odd angles and geometry this plane is also flown by computers with the pilot just entering course corrections and direction changes. Another interesting fact is the red rectangle on the bottom rear of the aircraft is a blow-out panel hiding and arrestor hook so it can land on an aircraft carrier in the case of an emergency.

[@brianl5631]

You were right up until the carrier part. The hook is for emergency stopping on a runway, not a carrier.

[@ValentinoSands-y5h]

[@ThomasHendrickson]

Hey trev, it sounds crazy but the Germans developed the first stealth jet during World War Two, luckily it was late enough in the war that they didn’t have time to put them into production or use.

[@EcomBroP]

Yup I saw one escorting a Private Jet, While fishing out in Dinkey Creek in the Sierra Nevadas🤷‍♂️ Still confused about it but It was a Black Triangle next to a Passenger Jet, Don’t know what else it could be

[@casper537]

Flaps!!! You no better brother.

[@brianl5631]

Flaps? Where we're going we don't need flaps! Seriously though, the F117 had no flaps. Fun fact - because it had no flaps, its landing speed was very high. Thus it uses a giant parachute out the back to slow it when it lands.

[@THEOMEGAGUY999]

Please fly the B-52 and B-1b please

[@planesrkool2727]

When the f117 was shot down, it was kinda pure luck, also the pilot and the commander of the SAM site became friends later

[@subjectc7505]

It wasn't, idk why people keep saying it was. The SAM site commander knew where to look due to the USAF neglected to change the flight plans and provide proper escorts for the nighthawk, and that nighthawk was suffering from multiple problems.

[@alexrosario7661]

Doesn’t change the fact that the “untouchable” aircraft the us swore by was still shot out of the sky by a local country

[@nemiw4429]

It was pure skill.
