Bro 9.2 Gs is no joke. These pilots train for years to perfect their techniques, but you were still able to stay conscious for that entire trip. Respect
F-16 doesn’t fly at 1500mph that’s 2400km/h almost if I’m not mistaken, I flown a 2 seater F-16, you’d be doing 400-600 knots(460-690mph) max, depending on the area you fly since you are not permitted to exceed sound barrier in built up areas and those values are just about at Mach 1. I might consider Air Force after I get some more flight experience with airliners, I just love the chemistry between everyone in an Air Force base, like a massive family, even if you are there as a complete stranger for one flight.

Back when the navy flew the F-14, which is a 2-person aircraft, recruits for the RIO position would go on a flight with an experienced pilot whose goals were to "get the recruit to throw up" Now, if they threw up or GLocked it didn't mean they were out but they'd receive additional training because Gs are something you got to get used to.

As a USAF Brat, I've seen the Thunderbirds many time. Their skill and training is awe inspiring and has always filled me with American Pride. So glad you were able to fly with the best flight team in the world!!! Go USAF!!
Wow! This looked like it was an absolutely INCREDIBLE experience! The flight itself was beautiful, but I was also impressed with everything that went into it: all the prep work, the testing, the suiting, etc. And then watching you try to stay conscious while employing the techniques they taught you, knowing that the pilots have to do that while flying the jet and being aware of their surroundings at all times--mad respect to all our service men and women who do this!

Even if scientists are able to minimize the pull, let's say down to 5 G's, that still puts people at risk of deoxygenation to the brain or heart arrest because of the heart working too hard. Unless scientists find some way to bring the amount of G's way down, down to two or three G's for us to become accustomed to this environment before slowly increasing the amount of G's that we experience, there is no way we would survive long enough in that kind of environment to adapt to the extra pressure.

The idea that someone thought "God, being in this jet is terrifying, I know I'll eject so I'm just sitting on a chair in the sky hurtling towards the ground" is the craziest thing in the video
This whole video was SOOOOO well made !!! I loved how you added the count down to the cockpit view and how you gave the flash back of him showing you what you would be doing with a model plane, alongside you in the actual plane doing those same stunts ! Was soo cool !
Hey Mike! I work on F-16s in the Air Force, I had a fam flight basically a ride along in the jet so I completely know how awesome this experience was. Big fan of your vids!
This really put into perspective how difficult flying a fighter in the Air Force must be. This got me thinking about an incident in 1991, desert storm, where a US pilot callsign Stroke 3 evaded 6 Iraqi SAM (Surface to Air missiles) just purely off maneuver.
@@Pranav_Bhamidipati that's not what I meant, I meant you need to be incredibly smart in order to design and come up with new algorithms and research new neural networks (we're all standing on the shoulders of giants)
Interviewing a flight nurse/physician and understanding aerospace physiology, and what those medical personnel would need to alter in their care to treat patients in the air versus ground would be a very interesting subject !
Ask for an interview with a U.S. Air Force flight surgeon; they are medical personnel who specifically evaluate the physical health of pilots and determine whether they are fit to fly.
It’s a great honor to get to fly with the team. Glad you enjoyed it. I worked for many years in the hanger right next to them at Nellis AFB. Been in every plane the AF has but never got to fly with the Thunderbirds. Also when ever you are asked to fly in a military jet the answer is always yes. Now you need to get with the Blue Angels.
You just gave me a whole new appreciation for what my father did as an Air Force fighter pilot. I still tear up with pride every time I hear a military jet.
@@layadadjou352 never ran into anyone that hated it after flying. knew a few that got scared enough to quit but that's understandable after coming to close to a ramp strike
@@layadadjou352 Your right but in some situations it can be traumatic enough to make walk away. Not taking away anything from USAF pilots here but they don't face the kind of risks a Naval or USMC Aviator faces. When a USAF Aviator lands its always on a land based non moving runway, not the case with USN/USMC pilots our runways are moving often times many directions, Carrier might be moving forward and a aircraft on final approach is in good position till that 1 wave comes in to suddenly put them off in the perfect position to hit the ramp. Nothing comes close to the stress created trying to land on a carrier add in bad weather and it could be enough to kill the average person.
i was smiling way too hard at seeing how excited mike was, the end was also pretty amazing, nice job mike. that was cool to see you do. glad you took the opportunity
My brother was a pilot in the USAF. From an early age he wanted to be a pilot and he really wanted to fly an F-16. All through his teens, as he grew taller and taller, he knew both his actual height and his sitting height and the maximum the F-16 and F-15 could accommodate. He was so sad when his sitting height exceeded the maximum of an F-16 and then reached the maximum on an F-15. He ended up flying B-52 for his first assignment, the KC-10, and then as a pilot instructor in a... drat, I forget the designation. After he retired from the USAF, he was a pilot trainer for civilian airlines. He started flying for a civilian airline as a co-pilot until he was struck down by glioblastoma. Your video was wonderful and it also made me think of my brother died from the evil cancer a few years ago. He would have loved this video, too, as he loved all things about flight. While he was in the USAF he was usually the co-pilot and his callsign was Chewie because he was nearly 6' 5" and loved Star Wars (and dressed as Han Solo the first Halloween after the original movie came out). I found the information about "short and female" especially interestingand amusing because he was exactly neither of those.
Although being the granddaughter of a Major (May he rest in peace) I never had the opportunity of doing something like this. My dad however could visit a field like this once❤ An opportunity of a lifetime! This is one of the best videos of the doctor Mike collection So cool! One can also see the community there at the airforce. They were like a little family Thank you to everyone working on these videos, and doc, for all the effort and hours put into these Well done!
I live next to the Air Force Academy and watch the Thunderbirds from my roof every year. I honestly never considered the physical toll the maneuvers take on their bodies. Awesome video!
Yes to flight surgeon interview, please! A question: if you had gotten nauseous in flight, how could you have vomited safely? Vomiting into the oxygen mask seems like it could be dangerous, but taking it off also seems like a not-great idea.
When you said you got nauseous at one point, I was also wondering what would happen if you had vomited into your mask? How is that supposed to be handled?
@@plyric my guess would be to take it off if you started to vomit. im assuming the pilot can monitor you, he could probably hear you vomiting and get back down on the ground quickly. but i dont know.
Correct, you do take your mask off to vomit. And he did have bags with him, just in case. And yeah, the pilot is fully aware of what's going on, they're on an open voice channel, so he'd stop doing maneuvers and drop altitude if needed. Source: I vomited a BUNCH when I got to fly in an F-16.
That was really cool seeing the clouds like that. Im driving to be a pilot in the Air Force and watching this video made me want to strive more and work harder to achieve my goal.

As a Lt Col he has at least 13 years of USAF aviation experience, if he's been with the f16 the entire time thats probably upwards of 6000 flight hours
The Thunderbirds are the Air Force equivalent of the Navy Blue Angels. That’s all they do is perform at air shows. Plus pilots have to have thousands and thousands of flight hours to even get selected. They’re basically among the best pilots on the planet.

I'm going skydiving in a few weeks (with an anxiety disorder), and while it's quite different from this, it's in a way... "nice" to see someone like dr. Mike being nervous about these things, but still going through with it.

As someone who deals with anxiety on the daily, Congrats!! on overcoming your fears. Once we face what we fear, it no longer has control over us, and it seems so small when you look at the big picture. Keep on doing things that test your nerves, we go this way once, make it the best it can be!

Seeing someone I look up to and respect so highly in my interest and hope to go on to work in the medical field do something they are terrified of and get out on the other side without quitting is so beyond encouraging. You have always inspired me and made me realize how much your self confidence and honesty matters in this field. This is so amazing and I’m so empowered to see you do what you’re afraid of and even just admitting your fear.

as you do
It’s his job to work and communicate calmly under LITERAL pressure, 1800+lbs of it to be exact 😂 then switch to a doctor who’s only had a short morning briefing before doing this for the very first time.
The way the pilot says "here come the Gs" is just adorable.

Back when the navy flew the F-14, which is a 2-person aircraft, recruits for the RIO position would go on a flight with an experienced pilot whose goals were to "get the recruit to throw up"
Now, if they threw up or GLocked it didn't mean they were out but they'd receive additional training because Gs are something you got to get used to.

Congratulations. This is something not many people get to experience, you also went supersonic which is every physicists dream(including mine). It's really great to see this from 2 points of view, your and Destins (Smarter Every Day). He went into this knowing exactly what is going to happen but he tapped out of the 9g manoeuvre, and you barely knew anything and did it
Who’s Destin?
@@JaimeDornanLady I think he runs a channel called “smarter every day”
I think Gabriel (Black Gryphon) was here as well, if the is part fleet week. He did not get has high G but he got to 6 while singing. Go check out his video
As a USAF Brat, I've seen the Thunderbirds many time. Their skill and training is awe inspiring and has always filled me with American Pride. So glad you were able to fly with the best flight team in the world!!! Go USAF!!
Wow! This looked like it was an absolutely INCREDIBLE experience! The flight itself was beautiful, but I was also impressed with everything that went into it: all the prep work, the testing, the suiting, etc. And then watching you try to stay conscious while employing the techniques they taught you, knowing that the pilots have to do that while flying the jet and being aware of their surroundings at all times--mad respect to all our service men and women who do this!

@Albert Felsen partially correct. Our body could not handle constant 9g tho. This is one of the issues we face if we want to inhibit another planets
@@Inferiis evolution is a beast i think if the human body is constantly under some circumstancec we would develop to it not in a day not in 100 years but some time we would
@@legendarynoob4689 But by the time less than a day passes, we would all die from deoxygenation to the brain. Even if scientists are able to minimize the pull, let's say down to 5 G's, that still puts people at risk of deoxygenation to the brain or heart arrest because of the heart working too hard. Unless scientists find some way to bring the amount of G's way down, down to two or three G's for us to become accustomed to this environment before slowly increasing the amount of G's that we experience, there is no way we would survive long enough in that kind of environment to adapt to the extra pressure.

Ask for an interview with a U.S. Air Force flight surgeon; they are medical personnel who specifically evaluate the physical health of pilots and determine whether they are fit to fly.
yeeeesssss
It’s a great honor to get to fly with the team. Glad you enjoyed it. I worked for many years in the hanger right next to them at Nellis AFB. Been in every plane the AF has but never got to fly with the Thunderbirds. Also when ever you are asked to fly in a military jet the answer is always yes. Now you need to get with the Blue Angels.
I've wanted to be a pilot my whole life. I love these videos, and wish I could do this with my whole being. What an awesome experience.
You just gave me a whole new appreciation for what my father did as an Air Force fighter pilot. I still tear up with pride every time I hear a military jet.

@@CDRhammond it takes everything in a person to fly one of these...so those who do it and never quit, truly love what they do.
@@layadadjou352 Your right but in some situations it can be traumatic enough to make walk away. Not taking away anything from USAF pilots here but they don't face the kind of risks a Naval or USMC Aviator faces.
When a USAF Aviator lands its always on a land based non moving runway, not the case with USN/USMC pilots our runways are moving often times many directions, Carrier might be moving forward and a aircraft on final approach is in good position till that 1 wave comes in to suddenly put them off in the perfect position to hit the ramp.
Nothing comes close to the stress created trying to land on a carrier add in bad weather and it could be enough to kill the average person.
this is crazy, thats amazing what u can do mike.
i was smiling way too hard at seeing how excited mike was, the end was also pretty amazing, nice job mike. that was cool to see you do. glad you took the opportunity
My brother was a pilot in the USAF. From an early age he wanted to be a pilot and he really wanted to fly an F-16. All through his teens, as he grew taller and taller, he knew both his actual height and his sitting height and the maximum the F-16 and F-15 could accommodate. He was so sad when his sitting height exceeded the maximum of an F-16 and then reached the maximum on an F-15. He ended up flying B-52 for his first assignment, the KC-10, and then as a pilot instructor in a... drat, I forget the designation. After he retired from the USAF, he was a pilot trainer for civilian airlines. He started flying for a civilian airline as a co-pilot until he was struck down by glioblastoma. Your video was wonderful and it also made me think of my brother died from the evil cancer a few years ago. He would have loved this video, too, as he loved all things about flight. While he was in the USAF he was usually the co-pilot and his callsign was Chewie because he was nearly 6' 5" and loved Star Wars (and dressed as Han Solo the first Halloween after the original movie came out). I found the information about "short and female" especially interestingand amusing because he was exactly neither of those.

Yes to flight surgeon interview, please! A question: if you had gotten nauseous in flight, how could you have vomited safely? Vomiting into the oxygen mask seems like it could be dangerous, but taking it off also seems like a not-great idea.
When you said you got nauseous at one point, I was also wondering what would happen if you had vomited into your mask? How is that supposed to be handled?
@@plyric my guess would be to take it off if you started to vomit. im assuming the pilot can monitor you, he could probably hear you vomiting and get back down on the ground quickly. but i dont know.
Correct, you do take your mask off to vomit. And he did have bags with him, just in case. And yeah, the pilot is fully aware of what's going on, they're on an open voice channel, so he'd stop doing maneuvers and drop altitude if needed.
Source: I vomited a BUNCH when I got to fly in an F-16.
That was really cool seeing the clouds like that. Im driving to be a pilot in the Air Force and watching this video made me want to strive more and work harder to achieve my goal.
