Thank you Mollie for all that you have done to earn this incredible opportunity. Your family must be so very proud of you! To the pilot…I don’t have the words. ❤
She did awesome and soooo lucky to be able to experience this journey. The pilot was very informative and made her journey enjoyable by making her comfortable. Thank you for sharing.
Great job Mollie and that pilot is amazing. Very fun to watch. BTW, Now imagine how much tougher it is when these guys are pulling Gs in combat. Great respect.
Air shows were my thing as a kid.. I dreamed of being an F18 pilot. Then I grew up and realized I had a sensitive stomach and a fear of heights.. sooo I’m staying on the ground! Lol this must have been the coolest experience for her!! A tiny bit jealous! And that pilot was incredible! So kind with her!!
If I could give a gift to my dad this would be it. He would absolutely lose his mind doing something like this. He always talks about it. This was so cool.
I spent 6+ years working for McDonnel Aircraft when testing and developing the original F/A18 both as a mechanic and later as QA. After spending nearly 10 years as an Enlisted Naval Aviator with 1,000s of hours in the sky, mostly as a LOAD MASTER I always wanted to fly in a jet. ( never happened) After working to help develop the F18, the urge was never greater. At 77 years old now I'm not sure how much my body could endure now and I would probably last as long as she did but I will go to my grave dreaming of the experience.
The firm i work for sometimes does projects at Dahlgren. The base commander; an Admiral has one of the first F-18's on display in front of his headquarters. I tell my staff, just grab a piece or two each time you leave and pretty soon we'll have the whole jet outside of our headquarters! Joking of course. But what an awesome plane. Sad we just spent 3 TRILLION DOLLARS on the biggest piece of shyte - F35 NATO Callsign: Squab
@@prestonburton8504 Interesting, what are the biggest performance and logistics problems with the F-35 from your point of view? Also, do you see and end to the era of manned fighter eventually? I'm hearing that AI piloted fighter jets have been unbeatable against human pilots in many dogfight simulations. As we can see, AI wouldn't ever get dizzy or black out or tired so can pull off a wider range of maneuvers with ease like negative G's and sustained high G-loading if needed.
I've enjoyed watching the Blue Angels perform at the MCAS Miramar Air Show for many years, but I never had a clue how difficult it is to even be a passenger in one of those planes, let alone fly one - until I watched this excellent video. Thank you for sharing and kudos to Mollie Venable. She did great, and the pilot of Blue Angel 7 could not have been more thoughtful, helpful and considerate.
Beautiful jet. They’ve come a long way since my Grandfather’s p51 in WW2. My 17 year old was a pilot at 16. Had to wait until 17 to get the certificate. He’s going to fly commercial. Thanks for your service!!!! and keeping our country safe!!!!!😊😊😊
I was a crew chief on the F-16 stationed in South Korea, Osan AB. Got a theater orientation flight in the F-16. 8.4 Gs. Lotta fun. Painful though. Go Wolfpack! 36th Fighter Squadron
This is to the pilot you seem like you could be an awesome instructor the way you gave her each detail was so cool and she handled it with Grace.. do you ever get air sick ? Great video thank you for letting us come along😊😊❤❤
Being a pilot in the aforce is a dream come true to some but to me was a life goal which didn't happen for me but still no regrets in my life so I'm always proud of those guys and gal's so keep strappings those planes on y'all do a wonderful job out there keep up the good work ❤
Those pilots must get so much attention from the ladies. That guy was cool. And she's a rockstar. And FTR, at 7 Gs she experienced about 3 seconds, not 10 since she blinked out, but hey, I'd probably have soiled myself, so kudos to her. Thanks to all you've done for youth Mollie, we all love your spirit.
funny stuff after he completes that vertical roll maneuver toward the end at 29:10...he says "vertical maneuver complete" and she says "awesome"...she was totally blacked out for about three seconds there...great video : )
She went night night on 7.5 G’s. He knew it . He didn’t guess her mic had moved he knew it had moved and knew she went out head first night night . I heard her helmet hit he prolly did too . Still bad ass to think the home body can withstand that type of stuff . Cool AF
One thing that should be avoided at all cost is any negativity during flight and may be why it wasn't mentioned after the fact pus I'm not entirely sure she knew that she had blacked out in the vertical but held her composure nicely once regaining (and no she was not reaching for her knees), It is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about and will never be looked down upon by ANY fighter or precision pilot, especially due to high g's. As BA-7 said, he lost his lunch in his early days and I will admit my pilot assist system took point a time or two for a few seconds in my 20 years flying Raptors and Panthers, during a brown-out, which if you've had one you might wish it was a blackout (you remain conscious with reduced visibility and loss of spacial awareness momentarily, a type of paralysis and a mofo headache afterward) Molly took it like a champion and is the ideal passenger, apparently the committee agreed granting her the flight over 70 candidates Kudos to her and the entire Blue Angel performance team
I used to love pulling G - and watching my instructor's head drop and looking at the wing sheeting looking like a wet sheet over a frame with vapor trails off the wingtips. I never blacked out: but I'd get to the point where I couldn't see but I could hear as my facemask slipped down and noise went into the microphone. Unfortunately a year later my former instructor and his Army student were killed when the wing of their plane failed at 10G. The plane used by the airforce flying school was very old, with a 9 cylinder turbo-charged 985 cubic inch radial piston engine. 20% of them crashed. ... Oh did I mention? They chucked me off the course.
I like the "Say position" from Ground Control. Like he didn't know where the Blue Angels were. Oi, weh! But that's the protocol, so, yeah, the blue and yellow F-18 is at Colorado Jet Center.
"That was 7 and a half G and you felt it for about 10 seconds" Hmm, no she did not. Nap time. Having flown aerobatics I can relate. There are words in the English language that describe feelings, but they don't quite handle all situations the body can go through. You have to experience them for yourself and then you WILL know. I am surprized she did not lose her lunch. Good going gal.
@@mug12341 sadly the gopro died where the video ended. There's about 15 minutes missing, but the only additional maneuver was a overhead landing pattern
@@BricknDan yep. You shouldn’t have done that to her, knucklehead. I’ll tell you what wasn’t for the faint heart, my grandpa flying p51’s in every theater in WW2….RCAF squadron 430. They were that squadron that made the hit on that town at the end of Saving Private Ryan.
She's trying to pop her ears to fix the pressure differential. The cockpit and helmet as well as Gs create an environment where the ear needs to be cleared often to hear correctly
I don’t know, but to me it seems unfortunate that rides like this are wasted on non-aviation people. This would be an airline pilots dream and be a much bigger deal to someone like that than a news anchor or a teacher…. Kind of like an amateur athlete taking the rink, court or Field for a professional game.
It’s not wasted at all. People like teachers and news anchors don’t get to experience the wonder of flight on a daily basis. What would be a waste is giving a flight to people who already fly all the time. I do think they should give flights to people other than celebrities and social media influencers. People like firefighters, paramedics, nurses, veterans, etc. Those are the people that I think should get to have the time of their lives flying with the Blue Angels.
@@dfdemt yes. but some of us 'fly a little slower' and would love to have this THRILL! Still, she will bring in quite a few 'youngsters' into aviation - she's perfectly positioned and will have much to bring to the table.
Key Influencer? Never heard of her. I’d rather watch some normal aviation enthusiasts who’d pay to do this rather than some influencer or celebrity. They don’t need any additional perks. I’ve seen so many vips get rides and it’s so boring. Just another perk for them. Seeing someone who’s an aviation enthusiast and has no chance of ever doing anything like this would be way more entertaining.

Pensacola, home of the blue angels!!!! All of those pilots are so precise and advanced, the best of the best.
I don’t think I’ve ever been more envious of a person in my life! Duuude!
Blue Angel 7 should get an award for being the most congenial pilot ever.
He was a total sweetheart
All our Angels are TOP❤️
It's just like he's a tour guide!!
He absolutely is a nice guy,what fun
Wow once in a lifetime, thanks for sharing!
The pilot is so informational to make her comfortable...he is amazing

Navy pilots making a night landing on an aircraft carrier is absolutely the most difficult maneuver ever....the best pilots in the world.
Great to meet you guys in the springs! So awesome to watch the whole video.
This is awesome…She was a trooper.
imagine she doign a selfie durign war time and gets hit by a missile because her ass was to worry about getting good snap shots

God bless you and your family
P51 and Corsair my favorite
You are such a lucky person I'd give 10 years of my life to experience that flight.
She was a real trooper. It's hard for people to imagine the difficulty of pulling several G's in several different axis when you're not used to it.
I pull 6 g's in a fart.

It's my dream to catch a ride with these guys. If it were to ever happen for me, I would have a perma-grin until my final day.
I’m a combat veteran of Iraq. My dream while serving was to fly in a F18. She handle it well.
Lucky girl!
11:14 Blue Angel 7 turn left, heading...ugh...
Wing's already dropped and the turn commenced before Depature can even finish.
Love it!

29:20 Goodnight. That's crazy how G's will do that to a body.
Young lady, you did a lot better than I did.
I would pay to do this!
Listening to all the air traffic can be confusing and trying to remember all the coordinates and such. 🙂
She was in funky chicken mode during the 8 g pullup.
I like the "Say position" from Ground Control. Like he didn't know where the Blue Angels were. Oi, weh! But that's the protocol, so, yeah, the blue and yellow F-18 is at Colorado Jet Center.

29:34 “totally cool, I’m totally cool, did someone say I wasn’t totally cool? Cause I was, I’m totally cool.”
yes nobody knows how they will cope with that much g untill they do it
I wish she would have acknowledged the fact that she passed out at 7 Gs. i would have to but wow
10:25 that was definently Mike Patey
What a privilege it would be.
Слава Вам брати по Отцю Господу Творцю
Absolutely unbelievable
19:12
Maneuver Complete , AWESOME 😴😵💫🤣
She went out quick in that roll 😂😂😂
She can have a one up on the hubby; she flew with the Blue Angels.
she passed out and came back
Don’t know how she got it but I would love a ride in it myself

I wanna go!!!!!!
So i take it no Steak and eggs first trip up lest you fill the cockpit with after chewy bits!! 😁🇨🇦
YUCK!!
I would pay a million dollars to be able to do this
