Capt. Kristin "BEO" Wolfe give us the very first detailed walkaroud explination of the F-35 Lightning II Fighter! I can't thank "BEO" and the entire F-35 Demo Team for taking the time in the very hot Texas heat, to make this video!!
I love how excited she is! It’s always wonderful to hear someone talk about their passion! Thanks to Erik and BEO!
Emmanuel Ponce ahhhh....ummmm...Roger that?
@@emmanuelponce9151 Autistic!
Obviously....lol. I enjoyed that walkaround. Its not often the public are allowed to get that close to an F-35
it’s easy when you have the best job in the world lol
@@F3PIZZA 0 ppl
I watched her put on one hell of a show back in July. Amazing capabilities, aircraft and pilot. The F-22 demo was equally if not even a little more impressive.
Hopefully one day soon they will allow us to get a look in the cockpit of this amazing air frame! We all do understand the secrecy that is involved and it is awesome they can show as much as they did.
@@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd I sincerely hope that was a joke!
@M G G That is NOT the aircraft's problem! That is a Pentagon problem because they are the ones who have mandated they dont apply military power for longer than 50 sec on the F35C and 80 seconds on the F35B or 40 at Mach 1.3. This is to ensure the lifespan of the airframe but it is not the aircrafts problem because the Pentagon is the one that told the manufacturer not to bake supersonic into the airframes tactics. In other words it was never designed to sustain military thrust for more than a minute or less but you can bet that in a war time situation the pilot is going to do whatever it takes to survive and will in fact break that rule if their life depends on it!
Aside from this fact going supersonic minimizes the strongest feature of the aircraft and that is its awesome stealth capability! You know I could go on educating you but the fact is I could give a shit about your opinions or your feelings. This is a fantastic airframe and no but hurt loser can tell me otherwise!
It's on the internet.
@M G G Propaganda, Buhaha!
Maybe in like 40 years...
Everyone wave at China watching :) We know you're watching :)
mirrored window not that simple dude, this jet is constantly undergoing software upgrades to make it extremely deadly, that is something you cannot steal
@@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd Sounds like a fake name commie troll who cannot end a sentence?
I will go with innocent untill proven guilty. No proof means you go to jail. ;-)
No false accusations under my mighty red, white and blue.
@@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd Agreed you cannot defend lies. We see no proof or evidence.
Nice fail. Fake news it is then.
@@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd Yea well I can finish a sentence while we all proof read you lack the IQ for it, lol!
When the debate is lost? Slander becomes the tool of the loser. - Socrates -
So go ahead? Hurl more slander? Only proves you are a loser who cowardly hides behind a fake name cos he hasn't the balls to be found out. Sad!
Facts remains ... innocent untill proven guilty. So tell us? What s-hole country are you from? Haha!
@@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd Agreed once more you fail to end a sentence. They will see no improvement.
Off topic trolling doesn't change the facts. Innocent untill proven guilty.
They will see a coward who when asked will not state the name of it's country, lol!
Go ahead? Rinse and repeat your personal attacks cos you cannot change a fact.
Gorgeous sleek aircraft, amazing quantity of equipment jammed into a deceptively large body fighter. Noticeable that Erik and ‘BEO’ standing off some ten feet away emphasises the still classified parts the Air Force rightly still protecting. Great job as always.

🥱
Inspiring to see Beo, lady warrior here! So much qualifications, schooling, & studies to even be considered to fly this! Yet bravery & courage is timeless......
tis a shame shes so hobbled on what shes allowed to talk about. you can tell shes constantly running through what shes allowed to talk about
Gmail X or it can they just don’t want to leak classified things.
@Commenter2 Not a chance!
@Gmail X thats right ! if can do far far more
She still seems to imply that the AIM-9X can't be carried internally. Not something you'd want enemies to know.
@@thomasjoyce7910 well some things are common sense with this sort of aircraft. if the f22 can carry em internally then odds are this one can too
China watching this video: “write that down! Write that down!”
About the only thing I can see them writing down is allies are circles and enemies are bogies haha
TBH if china had the full Blue print they would still be unable to produce it. They lack everything required to build at this level, advanced composite material, avionics, radar (they can't even reproduce 4th gen russian turbofans) and then you need a skilled workforce.
@@stephenhawk1513 They have there own 5gen fighter dumb ass and they have thousands of them even though they only came out in 2017.
Ali Mohsin what?
@@stephenhawk1513 You are not honest and made up some BS edit lie about blueprints ... in the 21st century?
So you are a Chinese official who is here to explain what your China can and cannot do.
I would like to see proof to your claims.
I love the view of the aircraft and even more the very informative explanation by Beo Wulfe. The helmet is the most impressive feature, I think. Thanks for this great video!
I just saw her fly Saturday and Sunday in Hillsboro Oregon. It was amazing!
That SHEflies airshow at Hillsboro was EPIC!
@@GracielaT-SatoCaptainMama It was my favourite show of all time.
6:09 imagine getting ready to drop a bomb on something and end up dropping your suitcase instead.
Typically that bomb rack would be safe and not able to release the travel pod.
ISIS getting hit by Gucci heels instead of actual bombs is a mood
I won but at what cost
Beautiful walkaround! Perfect for using as a reference, I was able to complete a game-build of the plane because of it. Also amazing commentary!
She can fly the hell out of that thing. She's very talented.
One smart pilot, Thanks for you Briefing!
F-35C also have bigger wings for slower approach speeds to the carrier.
Wings also fold on the CV.
@@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd I don’t see what fanboying over the F-35 has to do with anything. The dude just stated a fun fact, give him a break.
@@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd Calls someone who's stating a fact about a plane a "fanboy"... Proceeds to fanboy over another plane... god damn hypocrite
@@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd Soldiers won't die because "they can't get air support." Surprise, the A-10 is slow and vulnerable to modern AA. It can tank 23s from the ZSU of yesteryear, but against any modern military that includes MANPADS or more modern AA into their equipment, the A-10 doesn't stand much of a chance. The A-10 works *amazingly* against Hajis in Toyota technicals and a bunch of guys in pajamas with RPGs and AKs. It worked really well against the Iraqis in the Gulf. But in a war against something like China? It just wouldn't go well. The F-35's information systems and sensors give it more precision. It doesn't need a big fuck off 30mm gun and a shitload of GBUs and Hydras and AGMs. It needs a few laser-guided munitions to drop down on a single position with surgical precision. The A-10 isn't bad. I'm not saying it's bad. It's an effective tool for a doctrine that no longer fits the current paradigm. Speed and munitions aren't what the Air Force cares about now. The Air Force cares about stealth, electronics, sensors, and information. Sure, speed is important, but the ultimate priority now is stealth and electronics and information. If you can lock an enemy but they can't lock you, you've already won. That's why the Raptor absolutely fucks on every jet it goes against. That's why the F-35 is effective.
The A-10 is like an M1 Garand. It's not bad. Nobody could ever ague it's a bad piece of equipment. But doctrine and times have changed. We need something new and more effective for the situations we'll be facing if we get into war with a more modern military. I'd rather need one bomb dropped on a position with perfect precision the first time around than have a few gun runs and passes done by an aircraft. One bomb compared to a bunch of rounds and some rockets. I'll take the one precise bomb any day of the week. Because that one bomb landing on a Chinese tank spells death for the Chicoms inside. It spells death for any group of insurgents in a building. It spells death for a T-90. It will destroy any bridge or point that requires precision.
I want the A-10 to still see use somehow. It's still effective at COIN. Any further involvement against guerillas would be the perfect use case for an A-10. But until we end up in another asymmetric war, the F-35 or F-16 or F-15 would provide a lot better CAS. CAS doesn't mean the vehicle is in close proximity to the infantry, it means that they're hitting targets close to infantry. An MQ-9 could save you just as well as an F-35 just as well as an A-10.
It's good to know that my F35 shirt was in the internal weapons bay of the F35 I saw Kristin fly at Oshkosh this year.
The F-35 has always left me a little cold, this presentation warmed me up a bit...
Seems most of its advances over previous craft are in its ability to relay situational data to a web of connected aircraft, so it kind of develops a hive mind. Not as "sexy" to talk about.
Travoid this is the thing a lot of people don’t understand. The USAF did a study a while back and found that 90% of pilots shot down even as far back as WWII never saw the plane or missile that hit them. Being stealthy, seeing the enemy first, and having versatile and powerful weapons has become more important than outright performance. Between active and passive radar and IRST, the F-35 will doubtless be able to see any current or near future fighter before the enemy sees it. Combine that with the coming lock-on-after-launch capability with the new block of AIM-9X and you have a fighter that can passively detect an enemy with IRST, and the pilot can fire a missile without looking down at the panel, even if the enemy is behind the F-35A due to the off-boresight capability of the new missiles.
@@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd how's it like to live in a cave?
We are waiting for them in Poland! 32 machines are ordered already 💪
Looking forward to this in Canadian/NORAD service. Will the Canadian model have that distinctive search light and false canopy?
No need for the searchlight with DAS and EOTS. You can see better with the current F-35 sensors than any searchlight on legacy fighters. You can count weapons from BVR.
Thank you Capt. BEO. WOLFE for the walk-around and your service to America stay safe
The F-35A's of the Royal Norwegian Air force has a drag chute pod between the tailfinns so that the aircraft can stop quicker on icy runways. I believe the Norwegian F-35's are the only ones who have that installed.
USAF might be using that in Alaska as well. Finland will be getting the chute too.
Great presentation of the F-35 , so many things on this new fighter-jet , so sofisticate and so manouvrable , a lot of technology on the bord of this plane . Great job to flying this jet !👍
Looking forward to Belgium getting its F-35s!
Just EAS'd from the Corp's after 5 years of working on these things, really great aircraft, mechanical & electrical issues are minimal to none.
@Jimmy De'Souza they're just normal screw fasteners and bolts. Not actual "rivets"
Cool video. Still amazed that the helmet alone is $400k. Wow.
I think with today technologies China can build an exact copy or a better one for $4k lol.
@@brockoala2994 true 😂
tax munies
The jet engine is over $10 million so the helmet makes sense to me.
@@brockoala2994 Nah they will just claim they have something better like always when in reality it's some POS (if you know u know) plane that goes mach 0.01 and is barely maneuverable.
great video, important for my Italeri 1:32 F-35 build
Lady is so smooth and nice talking. I like her.
Do you want to be a Super Hero? Be able to fly, spit exploding bullets like dragon? Drop exploding pickles that guide themselves with pinpoint accuracy? Shoot down other flying aircraft without them even knowing what hit them? Oh did i forget to mention: u get to see through your own body... In thermal vision! As a bonus, u get to see where your friends and foes are where ever you would look, even if u can't see with Mark 1 eyeball.
Man, this is some Super Hero stuff.
And what if this is just a product for the engineers to fund their extra secret special project that would make F-35 just a joke? Imagine that...
Lastly, now when I know that people get to do such stuff, I want to restart my life and be a fighter pilot. Pitty this is not a game. Well, at least we have DCS World.
Respect to all the smart people that made these magnificent creations.
You need to get your hands on a Howard 500 for a walk-around and in-depth cockpit tour!!
So excited for 5th gen fighters. So much technology.
doubt many more types will be built tho
I have over 200 hours logged in on microsoft flight sim X very few crash landings, what do I gotta do to take this for a spin?
Looking forward great 👍 flying 😊
nice, but does it come with cup holders?
Yes, 44oz big gulp minimum
Cannot see inside the rear jet exhaust. ? Its blocked off, wonder why that is ?
I did not realize they don't have a normal HUD. That helmet does sound awesome, I just thought it was like a normal HMCS.
AWESOME! I was USAF 18 Years!! LOVE JETS!!!
"Beo" Wolfe.
Love it!
The das also allows for an advantage in a dogfight because if you try to sneak up on the F-35 from 6 o'clock low you can still be seen.
I like and support that there seems to be a minimum amount of distance you are to keep away from the a/c
I was at Langley AFB and was invited by a F-35A driver to handle a flight helmet. It was extremely light, it didn't feel "real" somehow, almost as if it were made from paper mache or something.
So I'm sure there was a preset go/nogo distance around the jet but isn't it a demonstrator airframe/jet??? 🤔
I would love to see a totally redesigned large stealthy F-14 E variant with two Pratt & Whitney F-135 engines :) But, what I would truly like, is a net-negative Mach 10 fighter using water/Aether of course.
That would be cool!
An angel appeared in the 70's to direct humanities course, Only an Angel can sweep Her wings back!
Just seen her demo at 2023 sun n fun girl was ripping around very cool
just wondered why the canopy opens forward , rather than back like most?
These walk around videos are awesome, brother!
Very nice collab w/ Beo!
The way she describes the helmet HUD is literally like a video game... that is so fuckin cool
I love these walkarounds! You’re a lucky man to get to be between 2 F35’s even that close! When was this video taken?
@@emmanuelponce9151Quite a bit of useless knowledge in the first part.
iloveyou capt. bio wolf😍😍😍nice n amazing jets like the pilot😘
Great walk-around. Well done Capt. Wolfe.
0:30 I see what yo did there, Cpt. Beowolf.
What did y’all see?
@@aviationandotherstuff6571 Her name. Her surname is Wolfe. They gave her the call sign "Beo".
Oh, yeah I realized that too, I thought you saw something that she did on camera or something.
how does this channel not have more views..
Красивая птичка.
The plane looks nice too.
What a beautiful bird
u have the coolest call sign ever :)
After watching th warthog walkaround... And then seeing this lighting walkaround... It is huge difference quality of walkaround.
Yeah... I agree... A10 has no secrets. This thing has so many secrets lol
That's because she can't talk about many details. That's also why they're not allowed to film up close.
Great work Erik! Thank you.
Rich.
You have commented the exact same thing on a lot of other similar videos to this. Strange.
Why is it 'strange' to thank Eric for his work? I find it 'strange' that you even noticed! What a sad world we live in when you get commented on for thanking somebody for their work! You must have way too much time on your hands......
@@MrWarwick15 Woah chill out there. I wasn’t commenting because you thanked him for his work, I just did it because you commented the exact same thing another four times. I enjoy Erik’s content too, which is frankly why I am here,
Capt. Kristin "BEO" Wolfe give us the very first detailed walkaroud explination of the F-35 Lightning II Fighter，2020
That is sick. Wow. How fun is that.... And thank you pilot for the tour....
Very good presentation
Having the carbon fiber helmet also helps with fatigue by being light its not as hard on the neck at Gs
I always thought the Navy aircraft carriers wanted aircraft with two engines. So does the F-35 Navy version have two engines???
Nope
These engines have become so reliable, that that's no longer a requirement. Do you think that the Navy would've gotten the F-35C, if it still was??
Whooa ! I can’t wait to see !
"BEO" wolfe, nice.
what's with the second F-35
Walk around of the F-22 next!
Cian Mansfield
I would love to do the the F-22!!!
Please 🤤🙏
@@ErikJohnston Our JEDI Master pilots can fly through a Star Wars canyon at full speed hitting a wombat sized target inside a turn flying cold stick and then wipe a squadron of F22s undetected.
Agreed our JEDI Masters love to do in the F22s. ;-)
Soo cool anyone familiar with arma 3 the a164 wipeout. I’d love to see a version of a semi stealth a10 warthog upgraded to carry all the. Sweet and hottest toys. The f35 is cool but I still think the 4th gen especially 4.5 gen will still be heavily used for the next 20 years.
الله يحفظها ويخليها ودائما هي الأفضل في عملها
Excellent jet fighter..
Hello super kaptain 👏👏👍👍
Great vid, she is really eager to share "her" Jet. Nice!
Great demonstration , actually u seem strong fighter . Thanks a lot
Wow she really gorgeous 😍
Love ya Kris! So proud of you!
Great job Captain! Great video once again Erik!
I believe that the F-35 was the most expensive military-procurement program in U.S. history. It was an ambitious project -- three variants with which to supply all of the armed forces. Unfortunately, none of them were reliable enough in the first few years to be of any tactical use.
"three variants with which to supply all of the armed forces" - already a thing with the F-111 and the F-4.
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD Perhaps, I don't claim to have knowledge of that. But I doubt that either of those programs cost just short of one trillion dollars.
@@waynefletcher9884 The Navy flew the F-111B and the lackluster performance lead to the project being canceled but you're right, it was meant as a two branch project, not three branch project. I was misremembering.
@@JMacQ77 The F-35 didn't cost a trillion dollars. The trillion dollars is the projected cost up until retirement.
F-22 is much more expensive!
Nice to see the 388th out there representing.
I want a carbon fiber helmet with a camera for dirt bike riding. The night vision would be cool too.
I love her❤and i admire her si much..
he is a good pilot; and most likely has *her choice* of planes, but...
A thing that were not covered about the F35, possibly due to the fact that the one featured is not VTOL. The VTOL variation of the F35 has a **mechanical driveshaft**, a slightly better version of the same device one would find in a pickup truck
This is a very good looking jet. Love it.
Nice! Carry on soldier.
So awesome,great channel and content
is that a plutonium banana in the tailpipe? well fook me.
Reminds me in terms of shape of a shrunk blackbird
Right wow 😳
Hiding behind the F-22s ..................................... Glorified forward air controller / scout and we're getting new F-15 X's to carry missiles for them too.
Did you get a challenge coin?
That's the Captain Marvel of tomorrow!
sucks they have to give these cool pilots such shitty planes
Like the MiG-23UB walked video way much more technically informative. Yeah “Sweet-16, Colt-45 and USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72” hence 16, 45, & 72 that is how I committed the MiG-23 wing sweep position to memory. 😎
Looks like a big fly
I've seen "A" model few times at airshows and it really looks like a huge engine with a small wings. However on one show both F-35A and F-22 were performing one after another and F-22 seemed to be way more agile and can change speed way faster than the F-35A... I wish B model would show up on one of the shows in near future. Btw, are you planning to get a walkaround the B model?
I don’t think the US use the B model do they?
GTS Guy Marines fly the F-35B. Not likely to ever see at an air show or anything like this because these are always hosted by the Air-force who only use the F-35A.
Tyler Singletary luckily I’m from the UK so I’ve seen the B fly with the royal navy at farnborough. Watching it hover is insane, bloody load though!
@@SmallishBear020 Airshows are hosted by Air Force, however I do not remember any airshow where neither Navy nor Marines would show up. For example, few years ago Marines brought Harriers (2 different versions) for demo and static display. The year when I saw F-22 & F-35 demos on the same show Navy brought Super Hornets for the demo as well as Growlers and Poseidon for the static display. So I think F-35B and F-35C demos at airshow is just a matter of time
if you have any Marine Corps or Navy bases near you I would suggest keeping an eye out for their air shows. USAF strictly operates the A variant however navy and marines operate both B and C models. I would suspect you probably went to an airshow at an air force base if they had both the 35 and the 22. Additionally, the 22 is a dog fighting machine. Twin engines, thrust vectoring nozzles and much larger control surfaces are what make it so agile.
Oh wow
I think she means undoing fasteners to open panels. I find it hard to believe that maintenance personnel has to un-rivet panels to get to components and then re-rivet the panels. If this is true, I feel sorry for the maintenance personnel. I know previous fighters such as the F-16 and F-15 constantly break, especially for avionics.
Your exactly right. Sometimes when I shove a camera in a pilots face they might mis-speak sometimes. It happens though.
Nice plane very hightec technology future is these kind of planes needs
Watched her aerobatics show in bangalore(india) she nailed it.
What backup, when your control everything big flat screen TV catches some shrapnel.
There are auxiliary MFD's that can be used as well as the HMD (Helmet Display) along with HOTAS. Seriously doubt if shrapnel gets to that screen the jet is still flyable. The cockpit is very well protected, but if something was to take put the screen capabilities there are other ways to get and control info.
For us grunts, I hope to see and A-10 overhead. Other wise its back to old school blood and guts.
Amen brother
I'd assume you'd take an F-35 overhead immediately vs. 10 minutes away for the A-10, no?
the f35 is my fav jet
