For those interested in becoming an Air Force pilot, one of the best routes you can take is to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy. It's a 4-year tuition free university that graduates the most amount of pilots every year. I'm so excited to announce the release of my online course called The Air Force Academy Blueprint! I cover everything you need to do to prepare, apply, and survive the Air Force Academy. You'll have access to over 60+ video lessons, downloadable resources and checklists, access to a private community of other applicants, and so much more. Sign up here: www.academyblueprint.com/

Sorry, you got motion sickness when it was time to enjoy the run. Anyway I tell you a little secret. Next time you're going to get in this motion thing again, boil a few slice fresh ginger and add honey to mild sweetness. You will thank yourself you did. Let me know if this home remedy work for you. Last time I ask my daughter to use when she was coming to Virginia. She smiles and said dad your recipe work like a charm. HuGGs Sam.

Don't feel bad LT. I had the same experience during my orientation flight in the F-16 while stationed at Torrejon Spain. We did a max climb take off and were the lead ship for a flight of four up to the bomb range. Our left wing was our Wing CC. We dropped bombs and shot 20 MM rounds at several targets. When the 20 MM goes off it shakes the plane pretty violently. I didn't spew until we were on our way back to the base. Pulled 7.5 + Gz it was awesome. Kept my lights the whole time. AIM HIGH AF. GO AF BEAT ARMY & NAVY. Peace out.

KZbin suggested me this video one week after my first flight in the backseat of a F-16. I'm an air force military photographer also. I have to say it was the best mission I had so far; I had 4x F-16 flying in formation to photograph. But this was just part of the flight. The most part was dogfight, so I just enjoyed the ride! Luckily I didn't suffer from motion sickness. 😁 Keep up the good work! Already started following your channel!

[@SamEckholm]

Glad you got the opportunity! Best of luck.

[@middleken]

That's awesome Sam! I flew with them in April 2017 during Operation Atlantic trident - all your preflight and training brought back fond memories. It was supposed to be a photo flight, but none of the other aircraft could join up with us after getting killed by F-22s three times (LOL), as we were far out in the range area. Luckily I didn't puke, but chuckled when i saw the big zip loc bag, which I had as well. Great suggestion by them. I also had my mask off a few times and the AC vent full bore in my face LOL

He was an aircraft mechanic that originally started on T-Birds and Hercules, then eventually moved on the F-18's I've been lucky enough to go to see some cool things with the F-18's the most memorable is sitting in it while doing a run up with afterburners on. I'll never forget that, especially as a kid I was mind blown. Then just exploring the hangers during down time. I guess that's the benefit of a small town yet a large base.

[@timothywitt4864]

I don't think this was an operational training sortie. This looks like a standard incentive ride for non flyers. We had a flight surgeon psychiatrist assigned to our squadron who went on an operational training mission while we were deployed on a weapons training deployment. He wanted to see a full up mission for his professional education. He got so sick that he had to be hospitalized after landing. He didn't even make it to the range before his pilot said he needed to knock it off and return to base. I get a kick out of people who think they're hot sticks because they can fly some fighter simulation on their home computer and then go fly an actual fighter. It's more than pushing buttons and moving a joystick.

While at Field Training (Lackland AFB 1995), seven of us out of 425 cadets qualified (based on our perfect PFT scores) to ride in one of these training jets. What in incredible experience.

I've still got a picture of myself and the pilot standing next to the jet that we'd just ridden and my face was as white as the barf-bag that they had us use. Great memories!

I'm jealous I have alway's wanted to ride in a jet fighter when I was a young kid my dream was to be a fighter pilot in the Air Force when I grew up. To late now

[@willarterberry3392]

you and me both bud. wanted to fly military planes too, unfortunately i flunked out of college a few years ago, so that put an end to that. I'm a construction worker today but still love aviation in all its forms, civilian, military, etc. maybe one day

Hey Sam, better men than you have puked up there, and you went into it knowing about your motion sickness, so well done you! Apart from that, your commentary throughout this video was excellent, and I really enjoyed watching it. This is def something that I would love to do too. Great work mate, thanks.

[@SamEckholm]

Thanks dude!

[@muzzaball]

@@SamEckholm So I found out why your commentary was so good - I watched the Raptor video and saw what you do! Cheers mate.

What about taking dremamine for motion sickness?

There’s only one sky and I just want to say how grateful I am to have the USAF and USN up there keeping us ground dwellers safe! Thank you for everything that you do ❤️ hope i can join you up there one day! We shall see.

you have the Marines also flying, but they are under the Dept. of the Navy.

Good job brother, I was a crew chief on F4E phantoms, and when they were still doing it, if you made crew chief of the month you got a ride in your jet. I'm 68 years old now, and still remember it as if it was five minutes ago. To all of those who protect our country and nation, God bless you for your dedication and service to the greatest nation and country on earth.

I know what it feels like to fly one, despite not being in the Air Force. I play Ace Combat. That counts, right? RIGHT?

You got to do something that 95% of us will never get to do. Great job

[@AndrewBonicaRR]

Great videos! But I'm curious...How did you get permission to film all these videos? While KZbin had just launched while I was in the Marines, I feel there's no way I'd be granted time or permission to film so much of our equipment and activities, unless I was in the PAO. I guess the military has really come around and embraced social media.

[@briangasser973]

It is a trainer aircraft from the 1960s and little was given away in tactics. The video was largely a postive recruitment piece for the USAF.

[@AndrewBonicaRR]

@@briangasser973 I get that, but unless he’s in the PAO, how’s he getting the time and access to shoot all this footage? 🤔 Maybe the Air Force is more relaxed. 🤷‍♂️ LOL

Hello Lieutenant! I wanted to ask a question about joyning the airforce! I'm from Germany and wondered if I could study my 4 years at a German university before joyning the The American Airforce. That's just a theoretically question, cause I know that there are still some obstacles like becoming an official citizen of the United States and stuff. I just wanted to know if this would potentially be possible.

[@blahblah6497]

In a different video, he said you have to be an American citizen to be a Pilot. As for just joining the AF.. Not sure.

[@sebi1999de]

But you could also join the German Luftwaffe if your really want to be a fighter pilot

[@brandongonzales3785]

It's too bad, even though I really want to do this, I can't. Simply because I'm colorblind and am too short. Because of something I cannot control, I can't fly these planes.

[@jerryorrell4856]

As a former U.S. Air Force and FAA Air Traffic Controller...I am here to tell you that our Navy and Air Force Military pilots are the very best in the world. They are the cream of the crop. Our U.S.military pilots are super smart, quick decisive thinkers and they fear nothing. They are results orientated and know how to get the job done right when called upon. I am proud of our pilots and all America should be to. GOD Bless America!!!
