Do you prefer the F-22 or F-35 demo? For me it's probably the Raptor.
UMMMMM theres a UFO in that video
@@jasontipton8430 5 ufos im clippin it
That F135 engine is an absolute monster.
Absolutely fantastic camera work especially at 3:50 when it came through the clouds
I live only a few miles from Hill Air Force Base. We are so lucky to see these planes on a daily basis!! The Sound of Freedom!!!
Glad you’re not one of “those” who complains about living next to an Air Force base.
I live a few miles from Luke AFB, and also get to enjoy them on a daily basis. Much cooler up there though.
You are lucky indeed
Yes hill is the best place to see 35s so lucky to live in utah
I live close to hill I live in layton
3:29 This sequence truly is amazing...
Absolutely amazing! I had no idea how capable this plane is. WOW!
Its Badass ⚡️⚡️🔥💪💪
These were the best conditions for a flight demo I've ever seen. No clouds at all and it can be really hard to get a good idea of how fast the jet is moving because there is no frame of reference. It looked ridiculously fast in some of these sequences...faster than it's looked in other vids. But too much cloud cover and the show is ruined because you can't even see the jet half of the time. These were truly perfect conditions. Light cloud cover AND some moisture in the air to give off those awesome vapor cones during high G maneuvers, but still enough sun and blue sky to see everything the jet is doing. Awesome vid.
I saw a few clouds.
This is one of the better demos I’ve seen for the F-35. She’s pushing that thing to the limit. Love that the pilot is female, you can tell she was born to fly. Also great filming as always!
I was thinking the same thing. That was one hell of a demo. I'd hate to face her in a dogfight!
@@ME-wq8lq Women are actually physically better with high Gs than men are, so I'm simply excited to see some of that potential finally recognized in Wolf, she deserved this role more than any other. It wasn't given to her, she earned it and I couldn't be anymore proud.
@@Nurhaal 💯 agree.
@@Nurhaal Thats not true. They have done many studies and it's usually about the same, it really just depends on the individual.
3:41 and forward is absolutely spectacular!!
I've Never seen an F-35 static or flying in person. This is Epic for me !!! 👍👍
Miniumum fuel, no weapons makes a hot performer even hotter. The afterburner lightoff and ensuing climbout after the slow flight pass demonstrates the power-to-weight ratio. Great videography.
They do the demo with 9,000lbs of internal fuel, which is more than an F-16 can even carry internally. Weapons or no weapons doesn't matter because weapon weight relative to fuel fraction is marginal. F-35s have unusually high fuel fraction.
That climb & turn rate, as well as within-turn axis summersault was impressive you have to admit...
The G's this pilot is pulling has to be off the charts.
9... maximum.
I'm in that red van you can see on the taxiway at 8:53 in the video! The air boss started yelling at us on the radio to quickly pull off the taxiway so she could taxi by. She was just a few feet from me when she went by!
Would love to see a full video of Skip's performance from Saturday!
Much more performance the media has given the platform credit for.
Incredible demonstration of this aircraft’s capabilities…well done!
Holy crap can that thing turn on a dime. Wow! Thanks for the vid. Great camera work, btw.
Just simply mindblowing!! What an amazing aircraft!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Amazing takeoff
Whaaaaaaattttt!!!!!!! 3:29 amazing plane and pilot!!!!
The F-35 can move!!! Bad ass!!! Just wait until they update the engine to 50,000lbs of thrust!! Crazy that it already has more power from that one engine than both of the super hornets! Can't wait to see the demo live for the first time in 2 weeks!!
I’m going to Ocean City in June. This jet is beyond loud. You can feel it to your core. My family is going to see true aviation for the first time.
@@asymmetricthrust123 It flew in yesterday for the local show this weekend. Can't wait and my kids can't wait!! I took Friday off from work to try and watch practice day also!
@@scupking hope you enjoy! I cannot wait for June 10 to see it over the beach in Ocean City, MD! Take care!
@@asymmetricthrust123 Went to practice day for the airshow today. It was an awesome demo!!
Incredible camera work
F-35s are literally just so cool! I love them a lot! Like just from a technological standpoint they are absolutely incredible!
One of the very best demos I have ever seen
I saw her and the team at Oshkosh and as I said then, “Major Wolfe flies it like she stole it!”😉
Such an amazing fifth gen jet with 43,000 pounds of thrust and shy of 1200 horsepower getting to see the demo at luke Air Force Base was incredible
These are some of the best pilots in the world the Gs are incredible
That was a nice takeoff sequence. Great video work, btw.
The real amazing thing is how the pilot is handling those G Forces. She has to be one incredible athlete.
BEO flies it like she stole it! Bravo Zulu Ma'am!
Wow! Great demo!!!!
Fantastic fighter... thank you for the video AS
Lol...I lived in Fort Worth for decades. I have family that works on 35s. Been watching then fly around here for years. When we lived here up till 2019 our house was so close to the landing patterns you could wave at the pilot and they would wave back! We saw B 52s, F 16s, F 22s, and now F 35s. Fun stuff.
Simply amazing!Made in America!✌🏿
F35 and 22 are unbelievable in what capabilities both planes have.
Watching this demo brought me to tears! Fantastic Plane! Bad Azz Pilot...She!
Finally they are driving those F35s hard and putting them away wet, public needs to see them ride hard... so sick!
Spectacular!!!
At 3:40 the F-35 seems to be an Arch Angel coming down from heaven to bring Judgment and Liberation.
Holy Shit! This bird is wicked...and I was in a Tomcat squadron. I'm glad it's one of ours . 🇺🇸 America 🇺🇸
Awesome stuff
cool stuff for sure
Hell of a pilot.!!!!
What a beast.😮
That cloud push at 3:45! 😂
I love the USA!
she's bad ass. I saw her here in Seattle last month.
*Excellent*
Don't know who filmed this, I will say, that is the best camera work I've ever seen for an air show. USN 2006-2016
Best moments for me:
0:54 (The turn)
3:03 (The sound)
3:47 (Coming thru the clouds)
4:02 (The speed)
The way it punched through that cloud at 3:44 was *chef's kiss.. muah
Looks pretty agile to me
No shit Sherlock
@@goodputin4324 that's a bit rude. My point, which you missed, was that many dismiss the F-35, but it is a much better plane than they purport it to be
Fantastic video and sound! Didn't overuse the zoom like 99% of the airshow videos on here.
Outstanding!
Awesome mate. Thanks for this great video!!
wow what an incredible video easily one of the coolest airshow videos
Just a great video and what a freakin monster of an airplane! How many do we have? Huh, you don’t say? We need more!
beautiful!
aka Beast Master! A Force To Be Reckoned With also Major Wolf, She Is An Inspiration To [All] Women. Period, I Love Watching Your Videos. Great Work, Always. Thanks.
Great performance! Also, did anyone happen to notice the UAP at 2:28 min? 🛸
Yep saw it
Where? I can't even see the F-35 at 2:28. Of course, I'm using my phone ...
Excuse my ignorance, what is an UAP?
@@MrJimmyT “unidentified aerial phenomenon” basically a way of saying UFO without be called a psychopath.
I saw it too, didn't know what to make of it. Almost looks like something coming into the area and tracking the jet for a second or two then flying away,.
Amazing
Jesus Christ this plane can maneuver! Fantastic demonstration of flying skills by the pilot.
Very impressive for a plane that wasn't necessarily designed to impress at air shows. I would love to see an F-35 in action, looking at a clean radar screen and having someone tell you an F-35 is over the horizon keeping a close eye on your airspace.
One of the best parts starting at 1:58 really scooping it way up there!! Great job as always in filming this awesome machine which btw this is the world most powerful single engine fighter jet!! wish they would make a twin engine like the F-15 👍🍔🍟🍺
What’s the F-22?
Yeah, that was beautiful. He went from mach 1 level flight to vertical in 5 seconds. I think I and 99% of the world would have passed out from the Gs
@@talon0863
Wrong gender, the pilot in this video is a female.
@@billveitch2100 Wow ... that's even better.
This year they are asking $55 dollars for a General Admission ticket. Ain't no way. We're going to the St. Louis Zoo instead.
I feel the need ....
The need for speed ...👏
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Pure grunt ! Awesome
A los 2 minutos y 26 segundos aparece una pequeña luz que se desliza en los alrededores del F-35 desde arriba a la derecha haciendo dos semicírculo hacia abajo y a la izquierda...opinen ustedes
Great video! I think binaural audio with your guys’ videos would be the cherry on top.
If we could get somewhere with zero music and crowd noise it'd be nice, but unfortunately we are rarely that lucky. We have to use shotgun mics to have any hope of focusing on the jet and not picking up too much else. Thanks for watching!
@@AirshowStuffVideos completely understand! I’m just throwing out a “perfect world” scenario. Have a good one, guys & gals!
The Ninja of the air, which means it smokes 💥 you and you don't even know it was there.
Looking good 👍
Beatiful camera work! "Fat Amy" never looked so good. :P
5th gen fighters are ridiculous, watching them I'm always like: wtf did just happen?
Lockheed Martin is no joke!
I am no expert but Fat Amy looks pretty nimble to me despite what the critics say.
Great job on the camera work I just wish we would have got a VTOAL demonstration.
Wrong variant, only the B model can do that.
9 Gs gees Louise
Awesome sight to see a much improve F35
She knows how to get down!
Yup I’m now convinced it’s the last thing you would ever see.
Me @ 2:20 checking settings to make sure I'm not in 1.25x speed...
Hello. Very cool planes. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
i guess they use the same thrusters in the helicopters always above my house at 11pm
When did Amy get so agile?
I guess they were right about some of those software upgrades.
great video!!! ehhhhh
2:17 you all see that white spec overtake the jet on the upper left of the frame then drop to the lowe left? I’m not saying UFO but what was that? It’s the brightest at 2:28 it almost looks like something fell off the jet? Looking at it again mebe it was a bird?
Dandelion fuzz ball blowing in the wind
@@AirshowStuffVideos that’s what they all say 🙃
wow and i thought getting pushed back in the seat on an airline was cool and felt like a lot of Gs' I can't imagine this!
Did anyone else see a glowing object at 2.27 until about 2.30 fall away from the starboard side of the aircraft?
2.40 also ufo
=Really= maneuverable at both high and low speed; lotsa G force in the cockpit.
🇨🇦. 88 of these.
❤️❤️❤️
please explain the ufo at 2:25
Looks like a dandelion seed floating by
If you think about a woman’s anatomical physique (breast) and the amount of G’s she subjects her body too. Major Wolfe is truly amazing. She flies the crap out of that thing.
That thing does whatever the fuck it wants
Is that “Beo” Wolfe at the controls ?
What is that white object just off the the right and just slightly above the F35 at 2:26 into the video? Too high for a bird. It disappears quickly afterwards to the left of the plane.
Ufo
The air is really saturated. Nice compression cloud formation . . .
Where has the F-22 been?
Depot Level Maintenance
Please lease some to Malaysia
