    I was in the Air Force and seen Mike fly many times. I finally got to meet him personally at an air show in Rhodes Island. I was completely starstruck. He is a true class act.

    Mike Goulian is an amazing aviator. I am sure it was no doubt an amazing thrill for him given the equipment he got to fly in but Goulian is such an amazing pilot. Gotten to see him fly a few times. This pilot had absolute confidence in Mike G to hand it over to him, that's a great show of RESPECT from one aviator to another.....Enjoyed this 👍🇺🇸

      Work with a retired fighter pilot in the aviation domain now and youd never expect it. Quiet, easy going, not cocky. Think part of it is bravado that keeps them on point 24/7. Knowing you’re competing with the bests and wanting to be the best can make some people perform extremely well.

    • @mistermaster38
      @mistermaster38 ปีที่แล้ว

      from what ive heard the f16 was designed so you can only move the stick 2-3 inch each way
      and requires verrry little input to help reduce pilot fatiuge

    • @dirtyketchup
      @dirtyketchup ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@mistermaster38 Not even a full inch. Just 1/4", and that wasn't even in the design. The original YF-16 prototype was a completely fixed stick designed with 0 flex. The pilots hated this, and ultimately the design was changed to allow 1/4" of movement purely for pilot sensory feedback, but the movement has nothing to do with the actual flight control input, as that is a 100% FBW pressure-based system.
