- Watch how Major Kristin Wolfe throws this F-35A Lightning II around and performs a falling leaf maneuver at 3:15 ( do you call that the falling leaf?) not sure really, but this is probably one of the best displays I'v seen from Wolfe! and the moisture in the air surly did help.
Little Rock AFB Thunder Over the Rock Air Show, this weekend 2 Oct - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
![Extremely Heavy, Overload B747 Crashes Immediately Right After Take Off [XP11]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/tG0qeC0S0iA/mqdefault.jpg)
Truly, one of the most spectacular displays I have ever seen.
The mastery of the F-35 by her, Major Wolfe, is absolute!
A perfect shooting by Elwin, with the camera!
SECOND!
Holy Cow… I retired from the USAF in 1999. I have never seen a more awesome demonstration. Amazing aircraft.
I agree.
Come on dude the entire routine was preloaded into the machine before it ever left the ground. A pilot is passenger and is a system manager not a pilot.
Until you've seen a TR-3B do a 180 at 4 figures mph...oh,wait ,that doesn't exist..."cough" 😊
Right earthling...you could have experienced this just like any old human would. LOL @@1911Earthling
These things should be burning fuel for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine 🇺🇦 not for some silly show…but I guess that’s all America is anymore is a freak show for the world to laugh at us…politics
That would have to be the best F-35 display I have come across. She’s an incredible pilot and an absolutely mind-blowing aircraft.
i will stop watching now you said that
@@aussieman8738Good for you.
Why the hell did you say you would stop watching...is it because they said she 💀
It’s junk NO match for Russian aircraft! It was damaged in Syria since then it doesn’t appear anywhere 😂
that's a chick flying that?
Brilliant camera work! Thanks for making your amazing coverage available to others!
Our pleasure! and thank you
How does one even record this? In a plane train or automobile? Sorry for the pun lol for real though. It's stunning
What impresses me more than anything here is the physical condition of Major Wolfe. To be flying like that, for that long…she is nothing short of an absolute stud…amazing!
SHE HAD TO BE PULLING CLOSE TO 8 g'S IN SOME OF THAT AMAZING!!!!!!
@@LetsDoThis1780 Please explain.
@@207loki 06:53. I'd go for closer to 10g here.
Just AWESOME maneuvering Major Wolfe!!! Breathtaking!!!!!!
Pilots do that every day. She gets extra pats on the back for being a woman?
That was an awesome performance from Major Kristin Wolfe. Equally matched by your awesome camera work .Thank you for sharing this excellent video.
Is she the one that dropped the F-35 off the carrier in the South China Sea? The one where our Navy had to scramble to retrieve it from the sea floor before the Chinese got it.
No idea what your talking about,but you seem to know the answer.
@@TheGraeme61 An F-35 was lost due to pilot error in the South China Sea. These are extremely expensive aircraft that we tax payers are getting stuck with the bill. It's an overly complicated plane that costs way to much and being flown by a military more concerned with virtue signalling than putting the best person forward. That's what I'm talking about. It's not directed against you but against those that are leading our forces.
Ahh ,okay got you now .
I called the Pentagon multiple times to try to find out the pilot's name on that crash. To my knowledge, they have never released the name. I was told over the phone they do not release the names of the service members. Strange as I could tell the lady the names of the officers of that aircraft carrier! But they couldn't tell the name of any lower level service members. I smelled a woke cover up! @@olliefoxx7165
Maj. Wolfe on being a female fighter pilot: “The jet doesn’t discriminate. The jet doesn’t know who is flying it, and it will always behave the exact same way,” Wolfe emphasized. “The fighter community is an extremely performance-focused field that’s based purely on merits and tactics. I don’t consider myself a female pilot, but a pilot that happens to be a female. I’m here to do a job, and that is to make this team the best out there, inspire people to be better, and to fly the F-35 as hard as I can.”
Damn. That’s cold! Good for her!

Maravilha, parabéns
Badass 😮
Is this for real, mind blowing!!
The manoeuvrability is insane. What a machine.
The Plane can do much much more when it comes to maneuvering us humans just can't take it to the limit without passing out.
Manoeuvrability or maneuverability.
@@Neog2 Wait for Drone version... 🙂
You mean the camera? 😉
Are you serious?? Have you seen The SU-35 son?
I simply wouldn't be able to handle the g-force involved in some of these maneuvers. Great flying by Major Wolfe, and a great airplane.
More than anything, the ability of the F-35 to regain speed after and/or retain energy through multiple violent manuevers is unreal. Thing just has a staggering amount of thrust in the subsonic regime.
I'm glad someone else noticed this. I was at the show and this video doesn't fully capture how quickly it accelerated out of that low-speed, high-AoA pass. I was seriously impressed.
P&W F135 engine, 43,000 lbf (191 kN) with afterburner, 28,000 lbf (125 kN) military thrust
All I see is my tax dollars being set on fire to fund the industrial military complex. I think you are hallucinating, there is nothing impressive about this. We could have used these tax dollars to feed and send to college some hungry kid, or we can burn it in jet fuel and maintenance and try to impress him with loud noises.
That’s the power of vector control.
@@juliemunoz2762 What?
EXCELLENT tracking, and photography in general! Very professional. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is professional quality video. Nicely done! 👍👍
F-35 Lightning...second to none. Thanks Elwyn for the superb camera work allowing us to watch such an amazing display of machine and skill over and over.
F-22 ftw
Another outstanding display from Kristin, Vegas last year was equally amazing! Brilliant video work again Elwyn.
Glad you enjoyed it🤟
Outstanding flying skills and the video is probably the best I've seen. Excellent.
Wow, thanks!
Like I said on the other comment, the F35 is super simple to fly, because the pilots have a ton of sensor and weapon responsibilities. And they don’t have a weapons systems guy in the back. These pilots are no better than any other US military pilots. There’s probably better F16, F15, F14 pilots
I was on the program for 8 years
@@jimsteinway695That's even better! I'd prefer our air force spend their time getting better at fighting, rather than just trying to learn how to stay up in the air! It will help them to do better if/when actual combat calls!
A few thoughts come to mind after seeing this....
1) WOW, that brought tears to my eyes.
2)The ability of pilot and machine seemingly as one. Pure art!
3) If shes a Major now, wait til she is a Colonel!
4) Ive waited all my life to say this one.... DAM I LOVE WHAT MY TAX DOLLARS ARE BUYING!
Absolutely love this video, and better yet.... what I saw!
FLAWLESS performance!
Finally, a demonstration video that doesn't disappoint. Some of those maneuvers were truly spectacular.
My respect goes out to the pilots. What a talent they have
I worked on the F35 program for 8 years. The plane is easier to fly than a Cessna 150. Why? The pilots have so many sensor weapons responsibilities it has to be. Don’t think these guys are any better than any other of our military pilots.
@@jimsteinway695 Here we go, More Bull 💩💩And nonsense.
IMAGING an UFO in front of that plane at same speed with every turn. Just a simple titac ufo. We are in diapers but very pride to be in Diapers.
@@irisbaez1972 hahahahaha...What?
Mostly computers.
Ohh my godd! Ive seen the F-35 demo numerous times but this particular one has given me chills all over
Thank God for clouds! Having a visual reference really helps us see how amazing those maneuvers are.
Incredible!! Flying upsidedown shooting flares to flying straight up in the air and coming back down in an almost floating position. Breath Taking. There are no Air Shows by me. Thank You For This. Our boys continue to get even better. 🤯
Makes a change not to be watching something like this in portrait mode. A very well filmed piece thank you
The falling leaf at 3:15 was so cool!!
Major Wolfe is an awesome pilot! Kudos to her!
Weak and sloppy, the F22 which invented that maneuver eats the F35's lunch all day every day.
It annihilates all other countries fighters with ease.
@@riverpirate1022except that Luftwaffe Typhoon!
Agree!!
@@riverpirate1022They're made to work together buddy. Your not gonna be seeing them fight each other.
Those maneuvers at those speeds is absolutely incredible! I have a feeling we don’t know the aircraft’s true capabilities.
Great job filming, keeping the camera focused, & on the jet continually. Thank you for bringing us to the awesome event.
Grew up loving my F15, F16 and F18's but damn Gen 5 ain't no joke. This display gave me chills and it ain't even being flown at 100%
Can it be flown at 100%? Asking on behalf of the American taxpayer.
@@dannyarcher6370 lmao 🤣
The pilot cannot break the sound barrier without blowing out everybody's ear drums and windows, so yeah, you're only seeing a fraction of what this plane can do.
@@dannyarcher6370 true that. it better be damn impressive after all the schedule delays and cost overruns.
@@dannyarcher6370
Don't question something that could protect and save your ass one day. If you think that all people on Earth love the U.S., your either stoned, stupid or both.
The maneuvers in this video remind me of the few times I've had students and passengers puke in light aircraft.
All during flight attitudes, maneuvers, and Gs not close to approaching those in this video.
Thanks for the upload.
I was taken by surprise by the very unusual sensation of momentary 'weightlessness' or very mild negative G (similar to the sensation you experience when driving over a humpedback road bridge at speed) when it was my first ride in a glider. It was a winch launch, and once the glider reaches the correct altitude, the pilot (my instructor) dips the nose in order to release the hook attached to the winch cable. It is during this nose dip that I experienced the unusual sensation of a very mild negative G. Very mild, but an unusual sensation nonetheless, and I was not expecting it! I did not feel nauseous, thankfully. Of course, the seasoned and expert glider pilots don't give it a second thought- they're very used to all the movements, G forces, turbulence, etc.
During upset recovery training in an aerobatic aircraft, for me and many friends, negative Gs were the toughest learning curve for our body.
By flight 2 or 3, most people are able to use their brain to tell their body during aileron rolls....
"Dear Body,
No biggie, we're safe.
No need to break into a sweat, and puke all over the windshield and Com panel"
...like one of my friends did on flight 1 :)
@@garycard1456
You haven't experienced all life has to offer until you've had a student puke before he got his oxygen mask off....(ex T-37 instructor).
Perfect weather for an airshow. The clouds give perspective on how fast the plane is flying. The transonic passes with a pullup were very cool.
That was the best performance I have seen at an air show... Amazing!
It was. I was right there. I couldn't believe what I was seeing with my own eyes! The crowd in my area went wild.
It means that you need to check out what the F-22 did in this same airshow on this channel.
LOL You need to watch some other videos .
Seems like the F-22 and F-35 teams pushed their planes a little further this weekend. So bad ass!
Yes I thought they caned it! Fair play 👌
I think many of the "boy" pilot's just got "called out" by a "girl" :)
so bad a ss was when it disappeared and crashed, a weekly occurence.
@@iiii-nn1dtI’m glad SU57 squadrons are so reliable and crash free 😮hang on is it because there are none 😂
@@iiii-nn1dtthere isn’t a single platform that hasn’t suffered losses , unlike rf the west NATO has a large number and growing 🥴
The F35 has grown on me. What a beast of a plane and what a Pilot.
One crashed in South Carolina last week,wonder what happened?
@@warrenbates2949Pilot error
Thank you for posting this, is really nice to see how the jet is struggling with the G forces. This video brought me many memories from my past when I was a kid seeing military planes at the Air Show
I watched from my yard about 7 miles away thinking it was too cloudy to make going down to the beach worth it. Guess I was wrong.
Great video!
I know how hard it is to track them when they're that close. You've had a lot of practice.
Thanks for sharing this with all of us who didn't attend.
Yes we thought they would not display! I was so glad they did 👌
Very awesome , My father flew F4s with the Blue Angels, Now he flies with real angles . Thank you! He would have loved this little beast. HOOAH❤👍✌
Very cool, went down to el Centro to watch them practice a few years ago 👌🤟
@@ElwynR He met my mother in El Centro, He was flying back and forth from Pensacola Fl. I was a post-vietnam baby
Hey dirtwizard. I must have seen your dad in action at some point of his glorious career. For 12 years in a row I was fortunate enough in the late 60's and early 70's to see the Blue Angels in action at the Abbotsford Airshow. A small town near the Canada/US border in British Columbia. Those pilots at that time were my dads and my hero's. My father passed away 6 years ago and was also my hero. Could be right now that he and your dad are flying in the same formation of angels. My condolences for your loss.
Best F-35 demo I've seen, especially the falling leaf (I call it that too). Excellent video as always Elwyn.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is arguably some of the very best camera work I have ever seen! You are an amazing camera man! Thank you for sharing this with us. WOW!!! That pilot, and those amazing maneuvers are truly awesome as well. All around, just a breathtaking show.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 👌
One of the best random "recommended airshow" clips I've seen since before the internet. Target object in center of frame, in focus 98.78322743999% of the time. Better than 99.9997365281923% of all other links one could follow.
Absolutely unbelievable. I am at a loss for words as to how these things stay in the air like that, especially during the falling leaf!! Like what!?
Science and engineering at its best 😄
Can only imagine what the F35 operating systems is crunching to keep it airborne.
Very simple to fly and heavily computerized. They get F35 guys right out of flight school. They’re no better than any other US military pilots . The f35 pilot has to worry about weapons and sensors. They can’t have to worry about being superior pilots too. Smart kids but regular military pilots. I was on the F35 program for 8 years
@@jimsteinway695
Greatest current flying war machine?
Thanks for the great video, awesome quality! When playing with this thing in MSFS you get moments when you think "right, this can't be real" and then you see this video footage and it feels even more unreal. Like that controlled "fall" or the very low speed, high angle of attack climb other planes would stalled already seconds ago... Light, nimble, powerful and this edgerunning flight control system to allow almost anything. Wild.
That falling leaf maneuver is insane. So much power and grace.
Thanks for this video keeping Beo's demos alive on here! Best of times!
You bet! 👌
Sensational! It seems the F-35 pilots are able to get more and more performance out of this aircraft. Beautiful flying, and the video wasn't bad either!
Lessons from the Raptor. 😊
Even with the "g-suit", incredible forces on the pilot. Well done!
SHE is not using a g-suit.
Awesome! It's also cool to see the B model take off in just a few feet, hover & land vertically! In 20 years of aviation maintenance, working on the F-35 for the last 5 years is the greatest job I've had! Occasionally, when driving to work next to the airport (Naval Air Station) there will be an F-35 doing it's thing. If I can, and not be late, I'll pull over, park, and watch this incredible aircraft do what it was born to do. Sometimes I get inside & my co-workers say "I saw you bird-watching outside!" Magnificent bird! Wish it didn't have all it's problems and controversy, and cost less, though! Fantastic video!
I work for Lockheed. We call it a Super Computer with wings. The computer power of this bird is second to none and it's not even close!
First original sys ad live side(plus logistics and sec). Terror of the skies. The 4k vid out near 29 palms used to be my fav until this one.
..awesome? Magnificent? A total nonsense...
@@dianem7677 To _you._
@@crooked-halo ...yes, a total nonsense.
I can't stop watching this, it's completely mesmerizing! Thank you for sharing!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
effing amazing, how the hell does the pilot not pass out with the G forces produced in some of those amazing manouvers, in fact how does the plane stay intact, stunning !! great post.
That is the most outrageously insane fighter display I've ever seen in 52 years
Well I put my headphones on and watched in full screen and I felt like I was there, brilliant sound quality to go with the excellent filming, wow.....
Thank you for posting. Professional and top job.
LoVe this. use to to watch these as a child with my dad, one of my most favorite things.
Absolutely awesome, miss the private air shows from the carriers while in navy. Can not wait to see the next generation fighter revealed which has already been built.
Props to the pilot Major Wolfe. She's amazing.
Watching the F22 was like witnessing an alien spacecraft at times. I couldnt believe my eyes. The crowd was going wild. The Thunderbirds also put on the best show ever.
Excellent tracking by the photographer! 👍🏼
The flying is sick!!!
Glad you enjoyed it 👌
Superb flying and great camerawork as usual - many thanks, Elwyn 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks
A fantastic display and some amazing filming too. No dots on the horizon, just in-your-face F35 in fantastic detail. Bloody brilliant 🤩
Glad you enjoyed it👌
That's pretty amazing flying! Heck of a machine too.
SUPER props to the cameraman. You didn't miss a bit. Excellent work!
Lovely demo, lovely shooting. I think the square loop has to be my favourite manoeuvre and she nailed it. The flock of Brown pelicans could've made for an interesting finish! If you want to shoot something a little different, Brown pelicans are fun to shoot. They're the only pelican species that dives from the air and it amazes me how they don't break their necks doing so.
She is flying it like she stole it, most impressive demo ever!! I feel sorry for whoever had to follow that!
Best air show demo I've seen in person, and been to Nellis and Miramar multiple times. She out did the F-22 demo which was also spectacular
I have to say the weather helped 👌
Absolutely brilliant display and well captured.
This is why I also love Virginia Beach which has similar fly overs every day!
Nice camera work...thanks for posting. Can't imagine the fatigue the pilot must deal with during this.
What an entrance 👏 great display and video, thankyou Elwyn another gud un!
Glad you enjoyed it
DAMN!!! Just unbelievable flying the wings off that baby!
Around the 3 minute mark … how the heck is that possible?
The plane is magnificent. So nimble.
The pilot is so skilled.
But Elwyn, take a bow; your tacking was so smooth!
Incredible footage, thank you.
incredible. I saw the plane twice in Belgium, last year and on 9 Sep this year.
I know last year was the lady flying, don't know about now
Thanks! it was a great display 👌
@justmemimi7388 - I see what you're talking about. It starts at 3:09 can you imagine what some "rich civilians" would pay for a ride-along with this pilot? The 'world is his oyster'.
NOlt to mention what we see happening at ... 03:11 or so.
Was that the "falling leaf" maneuver?
Incredible pilot, incredible machine.
Outstanding footage and sounds. Had my spine tingling 30 seconds in. Wonderful Jets. Makes one wonder how they could ever 'improve' on something so perfect. Awesome video with excellent camera skills.
Glad you enjoyed it!
More engine, more weapons = improved
My appreciation for another astounding video from Elwyn R.
How can such brilliant pilots stand such high G-forces?
And as for the wizardry of the manufacturers ...
Many thanks!
The best 7 minutes of aviation on TH-cam
Very cool footage of the F-35, and confirms just how nimble they are from my own observations. I'm in VT, and the Vermont Air National Guard has an air wing of F-35's. I was out in the middle of the woods doing some land surveying and kept hearing jet engines repeatedly circling over my head. I looked up and saw some fighter planes practicing the "falling leaf" maneuver over and over. It was so cool, I had my own personal air show. They were high enough where I couldn't positively identify them, but low enough where I could enjoy the show. I wondered if they might have been F-22's because they were flying over National Forest lands (we definitely have fighters from other states that come to train in VT), and I had no idea if the F-35 was capable of those kind of maneuvers...I'd say your footage confirms that yes, they were most likely the F-35's.
If you've watched both fighters enough, the Raptor's capabilities are more obvious, even from afar. That said, it's very cool that you got your own personal airshow!
@@ThePoorBoy Thanks! Yeah, my assumption would be the F-22 would definitely have the leg up in both maneuverability and speed. Haven't had the fortune of seeing one in action, I doubt they make it up to VT much, if at all...maybe for an air show, but we haven't had one in quite a few years. The F-35's are still relatively new to VT, the Air Guard got them only back in 2019. Over the years I got much more familiar with seeing the F-16's they replaced, so the F-35's capabilities are still a learning experience.
Great flying skills, would hate to go into battle against that pilot! Awesome camera work too, really enjoyed it!
Reality this aircraft should never have to dogfight……..
Right great camera work. Even when she made unexpected turns he managed to keep it framed pretty well.
The jet has amazing maneuverability. It looks like it can stop in midair and change direction.
Yes it can and for that real reason is to dodges Missile's
@@hawky2k215 Um, no.
@@hawky2k215 No, that's only in video games lol.
@@KC_Smooth You guys saying it not possible of if head toward to the cliff wall and braking to pull plane up to dodges the missile's into wall while plane fly upward in a sharp turns ? I know barrel roll does well too
@@hawky2k215 Works great in ace combat!
Sigh... haha
You do not defeat modern A2A missiles by pulling G's just before impact.
I'm surprised at how riveting this was...
...especially since I've been to a few of these - and nearly fallen asleep.
Amazing! I was there 2 years ago and I was blown away! Thank you for sharing.
Thank the ghosts of Orville Wright-no stupid voiceovers or insipid crowd comments-just burning jet fuel goodness…
That pilot has guts. Glad it all went well and everybody had fun. Too bad we missed it, we were just down there in HB last week walking on the
shoreline at low tide and saw them setting up all the tents and concessions. It's such a beautiful beach, so clean and we walked on the pier.
It's a great place! Heading home tomorrow 😥
Major Wolfe is absolutely AMAZING! Wow just wow! That was a fantastic presentation of the F35's capability and surprisingly agile maneuverability.
Was there, came down from northern California for three days and what a great air show! We sat out at one of my daughter's restaurants, the Huntington Beach House drinking margaritas all day! Been to a few different air shows and I'd have to say this by far the best one I've ever seen.. Very well-done video!
So cool!
"IN THRUST WE TRUST!" Look where I'm sitting in my pic :-) As an FAA Certificated Airframe and Powerplant Technician I love this video of the F-35 Lightning II thank you for sharing👊👍✈
Boom!
This is probably the best F35 display on TH-cam I've seen so far. Great video.
Glad you like it! 👌
The G forces the pilot must be experiencing must be huge. Simply couldn't be possible without a G suit ! Amazing flying.
You make sure you tell the redbull air racers that....
To do this and not even be dizzy is a challenge in itself! My God 🙌
Very impressive flying and your photography make a great video! Can't wait to see my nephews photogratic version of the airshow.
Cool hope he enjoyed the rain 😁
The way that thing rotates, it looks like it has thrust vectoring, but it doesn’t.
It’s short, looks as long as it’s wingspan, and has the massive elevator surfaces.
I’ve been to every Pacific Airshow in HB and this year was exceptional!
I picked a good one to go to then 😊👌👏
This has to be the best display of capabilities I have seen yet! Just amazing!
I need to hire this camera man. EXCELLENT CAMERA WORK SIR!
Thanks ☺️
I am a plane maniac! When I watch Top Gun all I am interested in is the flight deck opening scene with the great theme song. My God the American military is so fabulous!!!
Outstanding, and by far the best flying video I have ever been Privy to watch. Thank you
Wow, thank you! 👌
Elwyn, you have done an excellent job capturing the awesomeness of this plane!! Thanks 🛩
That is the finest video work I have seen. Nicely done!
Whoo-ee I would love to take that F-35 for a spin. 8-Gs would be an awful experience, but one can dream! That minimum radius full afterburner was a thing of beauty. I sat here going "puff,puff,puff" like you are supposed to.
Really fine flying, too. Makes it look easy. Thank you for your service!
What an awesome video,i came across this by accident, but im really glad that I did. Amazing camera work to follow this king of the sky. I hope to watch more of your videos in the future. Well done 10/10 for your work to produce this video. Greetings from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧.
Thanks for watching! plenty more videos to come 😇 make sure to hit the bell 👌
Thank you to all the men and women who serve along with flying this incredible fighter jet
Phenomenal video and sound, and what a demo by the pilot!
Phenomenal job filming trying to keep up with F-35 Elwyn! Impressive flying!
Many thanks!
She was awesome....I was unaware of some of these moves...really excellent skills.
We were fortunate to be there Friday. Absolutely astonishing to watch
Awesome, thank you for giving honor to this superb, master pilot, and skilled officer.
Nobody mentions how awesome are the engineers, who made all this possible . Beautiful flying .
Superb camera work. I'm going to re-watch this on my TV with proper sound!
Wow, thanks!👌
Amazing photography. Amazing flying. Whatever the "vapor cape" thing that comes off the wings is, it always impresses me.
Very nice! Impressive all around; camerawork, piloting, and aircraft.
