Loved how informal and friendly that boom guy was.
Especially how there doing Dangerous Maneuvers and they have a Friendly Conversation.
Sooo badass and normal speaking... Loved it!

You'll notice they are very professional and on point and do not grabass until the "Flow" is good. as in waiting for the jet to top off.

These clips are great for showing civilians that we're all just normal people in the military.
The pilots and support staff are so professional ! You guys rock!
Respect! Some people just don't understand what our soldiers go through.
Fuck yes...
Normal well trained personnels
Anybody who willingly jumps into an aluminum tube with wings that carries explosives and flies it miles up in the air with almost no fear or hesitation is way more than human
Superhuman, arguably. Both fucking awesome, and mind boggling. 😂 I wish all these folks well
Operator : "Ey yo.. contact. How's goin man"
Pilot. : "hell yeah dude... nice"
keep the like count at 69

Air-to-air refueling is one of the coolest sights of my life.
I have a great friend who does this also and he love his job and especially when the time to chat with the F-16s fighter pilots through out there missions. This is the best of the best inflight views ever

"How much gas ya guys got?"
"Eh about 50k"
"I'll take 4k hehehe"
If he was taking 5000 he would say I'll take a dime.
@@LexatNews Wouldn't that be a nickel?
@@JustChuck I stand corrected
Typical American conversation to middle east countries lol
Absolutely badass - Those helmets are so cool!
But so expansive! The F-35 helmet cost 400k. xD
It’s the JHMCS. It’s different from the F-35s HMD, much cheaper but less advanced.
@@chinesepowerl9525 search it up idiot use your brain
When I was active duty USAF, 6 of our F-15s flew from AZ to AK for a readiness exercise. Our maintenance crew rode in the KC-135 tanker. It was such a cool experience to observe refueling operations from the "boomers" window. What a sight!
That tanker, did I hear Boom identify as "91" ? If so, holy FUCK ! That was MY plane ! I served as Asst. Crew Chief. Minot. '82 to '86 !
Gorgeous jet! The F16 still looks majestic
Apart from the awesome operator and pilot talk.
That plane must be one of the sexiest and bad ass jets in the air force.
I prefer the KC-135 to the F - 16

Fun fact! Normally pilots make jokes or do interviews cause it helps calm them down. It is a very stressful procedure trying to do A-A Refueling and so the interviews calm the nerves as being stressed is not at all optimal during A-A Refueling.
VTOL VR has shown me that, yeah.. stress will definitely make you overcorrect, (VTOL VR is a combat aviation soft realism sim)
As a KC-135 mech sys engineer, since 2010. I have to “engineer” from a desk...on the ground...in a building...on a computer.
But you Boom Operators (BOs) have the best seat in the house (sky)!
Not taking away taking away from Pilot/Co-Pilot duties and responsibilities.
The view from the sighting-glass is priceless.
Are you located at McConell by chance? In Wichita

4:22 voice crack 😂
I was looking for the comment that said something about that😂
Woulda thrown up some horns.
These dudes, and dudettes, are some real metal warriors.
What a video. I'm so happy to have people like all you protecting us.
Man... these birds are one hell of a sight, piloting one must orgasmic. Great video!
Just about the coolest video ever.......thank you.....appreciate what you boys do........from a Brit.......
Only but a dream for me.
+PSilence 01 GO for your dream! Laura Dekker did!
Uh oh. Disqualified from service?
Same. I dreamed of this exact position since I was 7-years-old! It is fascinating to see and simultaneously painful.
If your kids start talking about having “ Hero’s “ show them this video!! These are the REAL HERO’S of our country!
i love these types of videos im glad that you guys can bring these to us
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE. WE WOULDN'T HAVE A COUNTRY WITHOUT YOU. I PRAY YOU STAY SAFE .
F16's great looking aircraft.
Indeed, and it seems so modern, I always forget it's from the seventies.
Beautiful shots, I like the paint job with the linings!
simple, straight forward... BAD ASS VIDEO !!!! thanks for sharing !
This is why I show my support. You guys out there are just stellar and want to let you know that. :)
The Falcon is still my all time favourite jet.
It's always Great to See our Pilots For Selfridge ANG Always a pleasure To watch these Guy's in Action I Salute you All
the airforce may be the butt of many jokes but man they have saved our asses many times oversees
@Phillip Banes right on brother🤙🏻
That is so Cool Dudes and keep up the good work😎👊👊😎
Besides being a fighter/bomber pilot, this would be such an awesome job.
Being a boom operator on a KC-135 looks like a lot of fun!
Thanks to all who have served!
Awesome footage 💯, love these videos 👍🏼
This was VERY Cool !!
Thank You
👽💚
I see why my son in listen. My sons name is Falcon and that name came to me from nowhere. He’s always wanted to be a soldier since he was 4 yrs. military academy from 7yrs - 18. Never dawned on me he was born to serve. 🙏🏽 for your service this was amazing to watch and the communication with each other was pleasant.
That's so cool!!!
God bless our troops!!! love you guys!!!
Cool video! Thanks for sharing!
God I love the viper. Such a beautiful aircraft.
Absolute Rockstars !! Period.
This stuff is awesome. So are they!
viper pilots are the best! + the boom operator !
That was so awesome. God bless all our troops and whom ever we partner with. May they be safe and have god on their sides. 👍🖤👁🗨✊®️
So amazing

my first air to air refuel on DCS: "fuck off KC-135! " "fox 2" "guns guns guns"
Awesome
What a job!
Keep up the good work
It's really nice up there.
Hahaha that was so great, just some colleagues shooting the shit at work, typical Tuesday....
God bless!
The right stuff
Damn this guy either a hard core grinder or he just bought a shark card
Ayoo lmao
Cool
Thanks for all you guys service 👍. God bless America and you guys 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!🇺🇸👍🏻💪🏻
SWEET‼️
Nice
Best job in the world!
Got to love the motor city tankers from selfridge ang base
AS A FORMER MILITARY,
SOME OF US DIDN'T DO THE CRAZY THINGS THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, GOT MY VOTES!
KEEP DOIN IT
2:15 is that him showing the middle finger?
hmm not sure
Thumbs up and then index and pinky fingers
Thats the "Hang Loose" sign.
no, he made the metal hand sign
pretty sure he was just brushing something off his helmet, or a "see ya" symbol
f-16 is still The Beauty...
That is so awesome thank you all for your service. May God bless America and keep us free
Flipped the boom op off😂
I was wondering about that. Must be some kind of inside joke...I would hope
171st ARS- Selfridge ANGB - Mt. Clemmons, mich.
We built way too many F-16s to the point it’s not easy to replace the F-16s
American guy they do the job and are cheaper. I can't see why not
I thought America wants to replace the F-16s?
Yeah that's what the F-35 is for.
If I remember correctly they're retrofitting the F-15 model with modern instruments.
They need both. 15/16 cheaper to operate and still extremely deadly when need be. F-35 is the expensive stealth version.
y'all remember this part of level 2 on Top Gun for NES?
This is fuelling flight in air
"Trans-Am, whats your pleasure"
Very brave 🇺🇸 military 🪖 👏 👍
yeah gas it up check the tires and give the windshield a wipe:)
gspot mop this guy is badass
Ay 4:22 he voice cracks, i was searching for this comment but no one said it
maybe cuz nobody actually gives a fucking shit?
No one cares
Yas
But do they have cases of Chick-Fil-A Sauce packets to share?
This is maybe a naive question to so of you, but I really don´t know. When you are performing air-to-air refueling, do you refuel only the tanks in the plane or the external fuel tanks as well?
Both can be refueled, just depends on how much fuel the pilot needs
@@mrm3401 Thank you for your answer!
It 87 good
Is the jet refueling or the big plane?
I wish this had subtitles
Cool, fly like eagle

Theres something I wonderd for a long time now: Do Fighter Jet Pilots have their dedicated Jet? Or are the names on the side of the canopy switched frequently?
Hardware stays with the pilot.
@@ShainAndrews Thanks!
How about knock-knock jokes, one per pilot. ? Laughing not required.
Cating all tha shir stalit with pritsh
😍what a job🤩
Going to join the Army.
Lol nice
Do they take Venmo?
It’s pretty funny if you think about it there is a gas station in the sky?

spongebob tentacles around 30 thousand feet
매우 우수함
