@@AfterburnPodcast Could someone please tell me what causes the fog or smoke in the cockpit at 8:10? I've never seen that before.
@@zachh5812 I assumed it was the air conditioning. It happens on passenger jets too but not as dramatic. For whatever reason the dew point was reached, making the moisture inside the cockpit visible.

I liked hearing the GPWS warn the pilot “altitude! altitude! Pull Up!”
@@Alanc419 all the warnings were funny.. clearly the flight computers didn't sign on for this. I like to imagine it's really calling out, "please don't kill us!" :)

I'm really amazed at how quiet it is in the cockpit
Amazing how slow the ground travels below........outside looking up just just a flash passing by
It sounds like a turbocharged V8.
what? dude its noisy as fuk . seem like u got hearing issues
Speed of sound

The blip of time it took from 2 bicycle mechanics piecing together a flying machine to present day aviation is astounding. Less than 40 years from rudimentary machines to jets.
Err, hmmm. Penis
Millions of man years, though. What happens during the lifespan of one person is not a particularly meaningful measure of technological progress.
I know right? Imagine what we could accomplish if the whole world came together instead of fighting wars every time an issue came up
That is fascinating.
And we have computers and AI now. Imagine what hidden AI for the last 20 years has accomplished. You just know we have left the solar system already and been to other star systems. Chemical rockets are a lie. We are trapped here on Earth believing what we are showed to be the latest technology. Guaranteed we are over 100 years ahead. Especially if they say they are 20+ years ahead of our tech. Me and you have NO idea.
NO stupid music! THANK you.

Incredible Navy Sensors F 16 . Honestly.
The amount of cockpit visibility they have is amazing.
Its almost like there out in the open and to have all the open space around them when dipping to the side or up and down has gotta be an amazing experience. Almost like your gonna fall out
so the top can come off if they need to eject

Just watching this gives such a cool feeling. Flying a Jet must be one of the best feelings a human can enjoy with technology. Greatest respects to every Pilot!
Just a cool feelings is not enough..you need to fit your body for some g force first.. otherwise,no other feelings you could feel except fall asleep inside the cockpit 😂
No shit? As far as technology for sure indeed!
I just like this post, super genuine and shows so much admiration. Videos like this and the comments herein remind me that everyone on the internet isn't an ass.
yep. best recruiting tool ever!
You’ve obviously never used a vibrating buttplug..
The pilot makes it look so easy. Imagine the amount of training he had to go through in order to be sitting in that seat. Crazy......
I mean even for this small flight, he has notes and maps etc strapped to his legs....
Not easy at all. They train and study the flight coordination and patterns for even a small flight like this for weeks before. Or Maybe just days but you get it lol
it’s pretty easy i do it in Ace Combat 04 all the time
Not even to mention what forces he must tolerate. Very few people are able to.
@@peterpfankuchen 9G's
My father flew during Vietnam. Taught at Warwick College in RI. Took off on aircraft carriers. As he aged, a decade ago, they took him up for his final flight. As his daughter I wish I could go now, too, to appreciate his passion and love and experience the thrill of his passion.
This guy has the greatest “here’s what I do for a living” video in the world for his kids.
The f16 warning sounds like my wife when im driving... Attitude, attitude
Must be a joy to dedicate your life to learn how to handle this aircraft and being able to fly like that. Just amazing
shoutout to whoever made sure that cockpit glass was spotless
Can’t put it in words how bad ass I’d feel flying a f-16 over a city the way he was
Agreed that's gotta be so badass....coolest job ever

@@toddmccowen8206 true separation of aviators there my friend, hats off to you pilot.
@@AP-kk4ys good story
I just watched this and wondered about how everything's interconnected - like the fluidity of the pilot & plane's motion, the little people on the ground - completely unaware then and most likely now that millions of viewers in the future would be watching a snapshot of their lives, a completely unique moment in all of existence.
Wow….actually seeing the GOTTOM of the clouds is amazing…Flying commercial, all you see is the top of the clouds AFTER your plane has gone through them. Thank you for this vid even after 4 years, it’s amazing! Love this “go flying with a pilot” session!
That has to be one of the best cockpit views of any aircraft in the sky...
I totally agree with you💯. Couldn't be any better🤗
It's almost like they designed it that way, lol.
Flying on NASA is the next level up. Flying an Airliner is a Step down.
Fantastic..:)
So It Would Seem
There will always be something special about watching these planes do these maneuvers. So graceful yet so terrifying

-COULDNT AGREE MORE.!!!

@@papasmurf5598 doubt it
Best I have see for sure. This you could VR
My little brother actually loves this video, it helps him relax when he is panicking or really stressed. Thank you.
my grandpa was a very smart engineer and one of the few things i know about him is he helped engineer this plane :) what a marvel for technology! though he wasn’t alive when i was born watching these videos helps me feel more connected to who he was.
well your grandpa will forever be relevant in the world 🙌🏽
in a nice way didn’t mean for that to sound bad 😂
My grandfather drank himself to death In a hotel room! Every time I drink alcohol I feel more connected to who he was. I just felt like you should know this! Lmao 😂
Lol, sure you do, keep it up 😂
Hey, it was my grandpa who designed this plane not yours
Crazy how fast those things are. He flies over the entire city in seconds!
kzhead.info/sun/p5qvhaijmIJsa6s/bejne.html
The crazy part is is that the f16 can’t super cruse so in order to go super sonic it needs to hit the afterburners however with the F 22 can supercruise without afterburners and during a show with the F22 was first released did the F 16 had a hard time keeping up with the F 22
JEB1923 the f16 can go over Mach 1 without the afterburner as long as it doesn't have external stores. The air force just classifies super cruise as maintaining Mach 1.4 or more without the afterburner. Also during air shows unless your at Edwards AFB they are not allowed to fly faster then the speed of sound.
Ya its a plane.
It also helps that he doesn't have to stop for red lights ;-)
Viper + South Beach = Fantastic
The view from the cockpit is amazing, I feel like I can see almost everything.

As the daughter of an Air Force Veteran, thank you for your service, Sir!
Classic aircraft, outstanding pilot. The over shoulder view is epic. God bless America.
The intact radio comms are what makes John's set of videos absolutely amazing.
I was an Infantry Marine who fought in Iraq twice. I just wanted to say we absolutely loved the pilots from all the armed services, as we worked with all of them at one time or another. They're so good at what they do and absolute professionals through and through. Seeing the Air Force drop JDAM's in support of us was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Thank you to all the pilots out there past and present.
Thats badass
Fought in iraq twice ! So, Did you finally found the Weapons of Mass Destruction for which second gulf war was all about ?? America is really good in finding its wars around the planet. No hard feeling for you, you were the soldier following orders but wars all about politics and power game of politicians & kings.
@@usermk99 I wasn't a soldier I was a Marine, there's a big difference there. Also, I didn't go to Iraq for "weapons of mass destruction" I knew that was a bullshit excuse to go into Iraq from the beginning. I joined the Marine Corps for my own reasons, not to spread democracy around the world. That's a fool's errand and doesn't work by point of gun. We didn't care about politics at all. In Iraq I just cared about taking care of my brothers next to me and making it home alive.
@@slayermill8621 That's right & cool. You were doing your job & service. You guys have nothing to do with politics but the ones who orchestrate these wars are doing so for it. Invading other countries and power games shows that man-kind hasn't really evolved yet. We are just divided in borders and ready to kill a person born at other side of border. We don't have a choice where we born. When you invade other countries, people of that country who resist are Not bad guys in front of the rest of the world, they are freedom fighters. They will resist against invasion. No matter if their culture and traditions look medieval to americans they won't submit (or atleast some of them). For the america because of being super-power, we can say might is right. That is for now, but history will judge these wars as injustice to people who were bombed (all those JDAMS) and stuff. Same thing happening with Russia attacking Ukraine...
@@usermk99 The people I fought in Iraq weren't even from Iraq often times. They were killing far more Iraqi civilians than we ever did by the way. It wasn't about freedom for our enemy in Iraq, it was about power and control. They were no better than the oppressive regime of Saddam or Bush who was president at that time. If you don't believe me look what happened in Iraq when ISIS took over. We weren't sawing people's heads off on camera in the middle of a souq (market) to intimidate people or ethnic cleansing like we saw ISIS do. We weren't doing forced conversions like the Kurds have been doing to the Assyrian Christians for decades or strapping suicide vests to children and sending them into groups of our enemies like we saw. I don't believe the reason for the U.S invading Iraq was justified, I never did. I didn't even hate the guys we fought, it wasn't ideological for a vast majority of us either. For the Iraqi citizens who did fight us I totally understood because I would've done the same. I don't care how history judges us because my conscience is clean. I never killed any noncombatants, and risked my life on many occasions making food runs to civilians who were in need. We didn't view Iraqis as subhuman either, that's some nonsensical propaganda. People can believe whatever they want but unless they were there with us, they have no idea what really happened. We did our best in a terrible situation.
I discovered my passion for flying very late in life and really enjoy the moment when you reach a certain point on the runway and a tiny little voice in your mind says "V-1 " and you lift off into the big blue sky with your Cessna 172. I wish I was in the backseat and enjoyed the ride, would give my right hand for a chance. Thank you for sharing and uploading this great video about military aviation
What a smooth landing, the main landing gear touchdown was unnoticeable! Must be an awesome sight from the control tower to watch the F-16 grease the runway like that.

Working a ground job at an airbase, hearing these amazing jets fly by every day is so amazing
As a kid I used to live less than a mile away from Selfridge Air Base in Michigan, we would constantly hear and see jets, planes, and helos take off. One of the coolest things I enjoyed was watching the f15's and f16's do their vertical take off , and as a bonus when they held air shows from the base, we had free close up seats from our back yard.
What kinda ground job at an airbase?
@@anayarey7865 probably a crew chief
Amazing!

What an incredible job this guy has must feel like an absolute beast while up there
Wow it's just incredible to see the quality of a game improve like a real one.
you know i gotta give the flight sim developers out there credit. they do a great job simulating this
No kidding. Especially DCS. Crazy sim
I swear I saw cars buffer in on the road as he flew by.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride John, it was bad ass!
tears in my eyes with no reason :))))))))) if i was there i would love to hug the pilot and say thank you for this amazing experiance ♥
Thanks for the ride!
*Altitude, Altitude... the first time I heard it on Jane's F16 and F117a 1991 games*
Microprose F-19 was amazing. Played it in Jan 1990 in Romania immediately after the revolution. I was in awe!
Microprose's F15 and then F19... oh brother, I didn't have a single clue what to do there yet I spent days playing those games on a PC 286 with a monochrome monitor. Awesome times.
I played the shit out that F117 game back in the day.
All this time I thought it was just in video games, I didn’t realize that they have actual audible warnings.
I remember that game.
This video only has 253000 views? This is a lightyear away better than any squirrel or dog video yet they have 10s of millions of views. Got to push this one up! Beautiful flight.
I like this or Top fuel dragsters or Funny cars. That noise sends my adrenaline through the roof.
2 million views
3.17m views now It's flying
17 million....
Unbelievable skill, loved watching this
I listen to this while I drive. Very relaxing.
Lived next to Luke AFB for years, F16 training was the sweetest sound ever!
This pilot is totally awesome!! Love the over-the-shoulder viewpoint, it's perfectly done.

I never realised there was so much GLASS around the cockpit! What a view. I'd be bloody terrified.
Looks like fun. I had always thought these guys were under great stress while doing these moves but looks pretty easy with all those automatic controls
The men and women who fly these amazing machines are on a whole other level...always impressive!
What about the other genders?
@@j22563 😐
You just **know** he wouldn't have commented if women weren't mentioned lol
Yeah!! All that and they can't mount a go-pro level haha damn
@@j22563 😐
That canopy is amazing... completely unobstructed view!
I've never seen anything quite like it, really incredible technology and an amazing feature for a combat airplane.
cant believe this thing was developed in the late 70s, flying this and the view you get, just out of this world
AS A MILITARY USAF VETERAN, YOU SIR, ARE ONE HELL OF A PILOT! GOD SPEED
For 29:19 min I was in a F-16, ...just beautifull to watch . Thanks for posting this . Salute to these pilots. How can one not but admire them.... skill and class...
Me: *Has played Battlefield* *I Hear this sound **10:05* *Starts sweating immensely and tries to find the 'x' key*
