      Not an f-16 pilot but very aware that an f-16 thats already off the ground would not be slowly accelerating from 100 to 125 to 150 to 160... after I saw this I was like "No way they're going that slow." JK 450. "Ah, that sounds more like it."

    As a civilian, I took a ride out of Shaw AFB, Sumter, SC with the 79th FS, tail 91-468, a Block 50. In fact, it could have been in this same jet as I keep hearing references to Shaw, and Shaw has a Runway 22, which was the departing runway. In order to fly in the F-16, I was given a training course the day before to include Ingress/Egress, Life Support and Hang and Harness. This training included the complete outfitting of a G-suit and a custom fitting for the helmet and oxygen mask. In this video, for the first couple of minutes she is fighting with her oxygen mask and seemed unprepared to arm the ejection seat, both suggesting that she somehow skipped the training. Anyhow, it was great flight and brought memories of my flight. BTW, I did a similar departure to 15,000 ft with an Immelmann, then offshore where we went supersonic, pulled a few G's and flew low and fast. A couple of years later, I flew a KC-135 refueling mission out of Seymour Johnson AFB, which included the refueling of F-15E Strike Eagles. That was awesome as well. These pilots are all great!

    I never got a ride at Shaw but I got one at Luke. We flew the length of the Grand Canyon (above, not in it). I was not ready to go home and if we could have hit a tanker I would have kept going. Don't know who "Katie" is but not knowing how to arm the seat tells me she is not in maintenance. Rain mentioned neverending concern about the engine quitting. We had a pilot in the 79th that punched out with a crewchief in the back seat off the coast of Korea. He always told us he would never do another incentive ride. I miss my days in the greatest Air Force in the world.

Puked my guts out; hot day, negative-G. Ugh. But I STILL went back for more. On that first Viper ride, even with 2 bags of gas and 2 AGM-65's, the takeoff planted a smile on my face so hard it still hurts (40-some years later). People have no idea how physical this is.

    OMG! So much great banter in this video. You literally had my wife rolling on the floor Rain. (I'm not sure how I feel about that yet hah) The first that comes to mind is...
    Rain: "OK, we have two maneuvers left. The knife Edfe, and the Dedication Pass."
    Katie: "Those don't sound too friendly."
    Rain: "That depends on who your friends are."
    😂🤣😂

    Excellent video. 9.6Gs is a lot. I used to pass out at about 7G, but very dependent on seat angle. Formation, the best! We even taxied in formation, doing S turns 'cos we were flying tail draggers most of the time. CAVU skies to all aviators. Must have moustache to be a fighter pilot, so maybe give the ladies an honorary stick- on- one. In the evenings, take the mess apart with lots of beer!! Once we were warriors.

    Well done in the 9g's!!!
    I did 5g without any suit/training/technique and I began losing my sight already.
    The difference between 4-5 for me was massive and so I didn't push it more.

    Great vid! Your “copilot” did well also.
    Question: what was causing the slamming noises during the high G maneuvers? Was it just the physical grunting passing thru the intercom? Sounded very metallic.
    Thank you for your service!
