This is one of the coolest Missions in Aviation history! Thanks for checking out the video! And thanks to Yarnhub for the B roll footage that was used in my video! Check them out and follow them. th-cam.com/video/4F4FWxHZ0bg/w-d-xo.html. don't forget to head over to maxafterburner.co for some merch!
As a civilian of pilot since 1977 - I had not heard of this heroic deed....absolutely amazing the finesse needed to handle this maneuveur. He's clearly a true American legend! And about General Olds - met him and Chuck Yeager about 15 years ago at an airshow in Northest Georgia - both rock-solid American heros.
As a gamer who rarely flies flight combat sims, I wouldn't perform a Pardo's Push on a teammate. Because I don't trust myself in getting us both safely back to base! So, yeah. Pardo, was an extremely brave and highly skilled pilot! 😎👍
This story just gives me Goosebumps! What STUDS! All i can say. Nothing better than doing Dangerous Things Carefully!! Awesome clip on this Max! Thanks for sharing it.
I had the pleasure of hearing this from Bob Pardo himself at the River-Rats Reunion in Bowling Green, Ky. I am the son of US Fighter Pilot Dick Wendell and growing up on military bases surrounded by Pilots all my life.... Going to HS in eastern NC ... One of my classmates was the daughter of Chuck Horner, Chuck is responsible for Bob being recognized with his silver star... I shared this with Bob, his comment .... I'll be damned, small world. I learned more about Bob Pardo that day and his actions to help a comrade after service to our nation is now known as the Air Warrior Courage Foundation. - Salute !
General Robin Olds was a Living Legend and a Very Inspiring Aviator! Pardo should have gotten a Distinguished Flying Cross, Silver Star and a Medal Of Honor instead of a reprimand. Brass was just plain stupid!
Man, great episode 👏Heard I've this one before but your story telling included heaps of fighter pilot insight. Also there should be a movie about Robin Olds. He sounds like a top notch dude🏆
I've heard this one several times. But there are a few other insane vietnam stories. Like the guy who fired a sidewinder into his rockets blowing everything up in his face. And had to limp home in a badly damaged and leaking F8 and land on a carrier at night. Or one F4 being completely of of fuel. Overshot the boom then fell behind. And the boom operator captured the F4 with the boom arresting the backwards movment of a 13 tone F4. Or another F4 also empty with a broken refueling port cover. After some very strong words he convinced the boom operator to jam the boom into the cover several times and it worked. He did get the cover off and refuelled.
Bro 😎!!!! This is what I’m talking about! I absolutely love these Historical dialogue… I’ve been begging you to do this 😊 I remember this story…. You couldn’t even make this up … truth is stranger then fiction.. I also love the story about the F4 equipped with A4 radar jammers to trick the Migs into thinking they were A4… then the F4s destroyed! Robin O. Was a genius
My uncle Bob was in the back seat of the lead plane. I am so glad Pardo figured out how to push an F4. Oh and my uncles back injuries weren't minor. He has severe back pain to this day.
The amount of throttle control that man had - he wasn't flying his phantom, he WAS the phantom. A little too much force and both airframes pop like fuel-filled soap bubbles.
You never leave your wingman Mav! To top brass from Maverick, “and teach them how to come home sir!” I’d take Olds in my corner any time!!! I heard about this awhile back. The history channel did a series called “Legends of Airpower”. Pretty ballsy move! They counted to infinity twice!! 😂😂😂
That is a well known story, I am not an aviator was not even in the air force, but I have heard of pardos push. Thank you for telling the story from an American pilots pov.
Hey Max Afterburner. Out of left field question, but if you can discuss this: why doesn’t the F-15 Eagle have slats on the leading edges of its wings? (Just one of those nights thinking about this stuff instead of going to sleep)
I flew the Mighty Eagle for 1,769 hours. The F-15C doesn't need slats due to the "conical cambered wing" designed by McDonnell Douglas GENIUS Engineers! The Eagle flies wonderfully from about 90 KIAS to Mach 2.12 (my personal best). Hope this helps. BTW, Max flew the Viper, which is Fly By Wire (FBW) and has slats. A real pain to fight in BFM with the Eagle,, as the F-16 has amazing thrust-to weight and the FBW makes the plane do what the pilot wants across a broad spectrum of airspeed and G.
I had heard this story before but never get old Outstanding display of airmanship And god bless Robin Olds for his intestinal fortitude to stand up for his men My cousin flew F4 in this time period and I’d love to find out the squadron so I could get his patch Unfortunately he died in a motorcycle crash before I could talk to him about it Anyway Thanks for the videos God bless

Hi , i like your story telling. Can i ask you if you ever shot down Bandit?
In my mind, the lives of your Brothers always outweighs the rules.
Absolutely. It isn’t even a competition
The rule is leave no one behind

"ICE IN THEIR VEINS". Absolutely!!
I was Honored to meet Bob Pardo last week, he is a legend forever
F4s hold a special place in my heart. My Uncle Cpt. Ramone Ortiz was flying back seat in the F4 Piloted By Dean Martin jr. That crashed in '87
I remember when Dean Martin Jr. Crashed. My Condolences to You, ragerc4358!
General Robin Olds was a Living Legend and a Very Inspiring Aviator! Pardo should have gotten a Distinguished Flying Cross, Silver Star and a Medal Of Honor instead of a reprimand. Brass was just plain stupid!
He eventually got a silver star 20 years later.
Man, great episode 👏Heard I've this one before but your story telling included heaps of fighter pilot insight. Also there should be a movie about Robin Olds. He sounds like a top notch dude🏆
A great story, well told, Neo. Let's have more !
One hell of a story. glad i have the chance to hear it.
Awesome work with the windows. Pushed alt F4, ending the mission like a boss.
Follow the leader who says "quit" or the guy who says, "follow me, we got this".
Thank God for Men who defend and protect others.
I've heard this one several times.

Nice story of Airmen of valor 🇺🇸 💯
TRUE HERO TACTICS AMEN
It's great to see how your changes just developed. Keep it going.
Reckless behavior? Hell that's the whole job.
Man, that's epic.
I just watch a similar video RE Pardo’s push. Wild!

Balls of steel. They also knew no matter what happens in the air, the treatment of fighter/bomber pilots by the VC would have been far worse.
Just a testament to the robust construction of the F-4 and raw power of those 2 GE J-79s....
Wow what a great story and you tell it so well.
Fucking awesome story, Ryan. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a lesson on never giving up
My uncle Bob was in the back seat of the lead plane. I am so glad Pardo figured out how to push an F4. Oh and my uncles back injuries weren't minor. He has severe back pain to this day.

Great one-liners.
RIP Pardo ❤
Never heard of this story before. Absolutely wild.
agreed!
There was a similar story involving two F86 Sabres
It was covered on an episode of Dogfights. Robinson Risner was the pilot doing the pushing.
Well, on the bright side, you ran your cheese cannon dry! No uncles were harmed in the making of this video.
That is a well known story, I am not an aviator was not even in the air force, but I have heard of pardos push. Thank you for telling the story from an American pilots pov.
Found your video after the news of the death of the pilot who introduced the "Pardo's push"! 😃👍
I had the privilege of meeting these Red River Rats gentlemen years ago at my boss's funeral. They are trur heroes.
Sometimes crazy works.
this was so sweet
These guys are some HMF’S!!!!

Insane story.
12:52 No more be jet dirty t shirts?
That’s it. I’m calling Chuck Norris jokes Pardo jokes from now on.
They should make a movie of this story. Hollywood needs help. Seriously….
Great video , thrilling story. Have you ever thought of doing a autobiography ?
Upper military managment had to work under McNamara.
f4 good looking
Olds was Wing King, not squadron CO.
Nice one
Hey Neo….want to hear your thought ons the UAP testimony in congress today. Hope your having a great day wherever you are🛸✈️
Will definitely respond to it!
The inside story is much better. My grandad is Steve Wayne
I had heard this story before but never get old
Outstanding display of airmanship
And god bless Robin Olds for his intestinal fortitude to stand up for his men
My cousin flew F4 in this time period and I’d love to find out the squadron so I could get his patch
Unfortunately he died in a motorcycle crash before I could talk to him about it
Anyway
Thanks for the videos
God bless
I have seen a video about this
F in chat
Just remember, the only reason the sun and moon rise every day and night is because Robin Olds decided not to shoot them down..................
Ride or die teammate.
🖖
Welcome!
a simple telling of the maneuver with some relevant artist makeup would have been suffice. All your editorial and site selling detracts greatly.
O7
U stealing chuck norris jokes?
Can we PLEASE get a video on Randy Cunninghams ejection - I am sure after studying the mission he ran outta gas and would love your commentary
