My Grandfather Ronald Jon Armstrong was a naval f4 pilot and went on huge and dangerous bombing runs, also landing on the USS America in pitch black skies. He was deployed into battle various times and served the nation for 25 years. He sadly died in 2005 from a brain bleed. Think makes me think about him and how he was an awesome pilot.
I salute your grandpa for his service. I honestly can’t think what he went through as a fighter pilot during the Vietnam conflict facing possibility of getting shot down by AAA, SAMs, or MiGs. Yet he knew he had a job to do and done it despite the risks. That’s a hero right there. I had a couple of uncles myself that served in Vietnam too.
@@markuskarlsson2267 Ye, I know what it is XD I have 700 hours of gameplay in it! I just didn't get the comparison. I suppose it was an okay complement 0_0
Bruh this isn't even just "hey lemme give you a push there" it's more of "I know and trust this equipment so well im willing to place my life and that of my comrade in the hands of my technical knowledge" jeez man, I dont know how that plane flew with the amount of balls in the cockpit.
I can say a lot of bad things about my father but dude undeniably has nerves of steel man and he's only a civilian pilot for fun. Air traffic control and pilots are some of the calmest mfers when stuff goes down I swear to God. I trust a pilot more than a cop or surgeon to handle pressure
It's exactly the kind of horseshit that was so common throughout the war by the people who were in charge. There's actually a term called a "McNamara Fallacy" about prioritizing quantification over results (i.e: enemy body count numbers over completed objectives) that came from and pretty much sums up the military thinking at the time that turned it into such a bureaucratic disaster. The people in charge seriously debated putting an upper limit on ammo stores based on statistical averages while screaming at each other over the cost of combat boots rounded to the cent.
@@blurredputin1755 that’s kinda ignorant tho lives matter too soldiers sacrifice lives for their nation only for ignorant people like you to say that their lives dont matter, have you ever been in a war? Probably not because of these soldiers preserving the peace
It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. I mean, yes, the plane *is* expensive, but it is also easily replaceable. What about the costs involved for the training of a replacement pilot and RIO, had Pardo not pushed their plane to relative safety?
@@jcorbett9620 The charges would've been under "negligence". From chair jock would use the excuse that they could've sent a rescue party even though everyone knew it wasn't possible. Doesnt take evidence in the military to press charges. It takes evidence to prove you arent guilty
In dogfighting more often than not big balls just serve as concrete shoes. It's the ability to give a shit about you're fellow man more than yourself that kept these airmen alive.
They actually had more anti air batteries in the city limits of Hanoi alone than there were in Europe thought the entirety of WW2 (Germany and Italy at least)
@@b3lka_ oh I know lol I was talking about Vietnam which was 1960's. That part in top gun 2 where the guy said maverick was the only pilot to shoot down 3 planes in the past 20 years wasn't a joke
SERIOUSLY an incredible story. There must be thousands of hidden war stories just like this waiting for someone like you to come along and put them in perspective. Amazing video AGAIN!
You Should make a real story about ‘Black Hawk Down’ since there’s a lot of things that doesn’t deserved to be ignored such as the Malaysian army rescue the survivors
@@mrmochi2133 Because they were not trying to portray the rescue maybe, there was the ending scene with UN troops but the film is trying to show the battle that took place between Army Rangers, Delta force and rebels
Thinking about charging this hero concerning the loss of his aircraft is a standard REMF response. Political officers rot all services, not just the Air Force.
Brilliant story very well told and as usual superbly animated!! I'm glad the pilot was finally recognised for his courage but astonished that it took 20 years to happen!!
I actually thought your channel has like 2 millions subscribers, and i looked and was shocked. Hope more people will find your channel interesting, definitely one of the good ones on youtube.
While normally I prefer old fashioned prop aircraft like those from before and after World Wars, the F4 Phantom has a special place for me since my Dad flew one in Vietnam. Another great story Yarnhub!
I second this, I think they had like... a total of 20 russian planes swing by that SR71 and its escort of Swed's looking for a cheeky accident with an SR71
"the air around Hanoi has some of the best air defenses ever" *Flak guns that are made to shoot down bombers and a guy with an AK aiming at the F4s* mm, such great defenses
SA-2s would force aircraft down to the deck where flak and small arms were so saturated they could easily fill the sky and still be very small and difficult to find and target, and with their being so many of them they were quite formidable for anything flying low
During the Vietnam War, thousands of U.S. aircraft were lost to antiaircraft artillery (AAA), surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), and fighter interceptors (MiG)s. The great majority of U.S. combat losses in all areas of Southeast Asia were to AAA. The Royal Australian Air Force also flew combat and airlift missions in South Vietnam, as did the Republic of Vietnam. Among fixed-wing aircraft, more F-4 Phantoms were lost than any other type in service with any nation. The United States lost 578 UAVs (554 over Vietnam and 24 over China). There were about 11,835 U.S helicopters that served in the Vietnam War. The U.S records showing 5,607 helicopter losses In total, the United States military lost in Vietnam almost 10,000 aircraft, helicopters and UAVs (3,744 planes, 5,607 helicopters and 578 UAVs). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_losses_of_the_Vietnam_War
Great job men. My father was in Naval aviation. I built a model of a F4 phantom in about 1970 and my dad said that plane weighs over 80,000 pounds dry and it’s proof that you can make a brick fly if you put a big enough engine on it. I grew up thinking that the Phantom was a flying brick that was so cool. It was incredibly designed McDonnell Douglas did a great job. When my father retired McDonald Douglas offered him a job but he refused. He wanted to spend time with his family but that didn’t work out.
Hey yarnhub you’re videos are literally the best. My Grandpas brother went into the Vietnam war and he was a tank commander when a guerrilla with an RPG hit him right next to the tank and his name is on the Vietnam Memorial His name is Tommy Aragon
You guys never come short of impressive. This is such a good and informative video. Everytime a new video comes out, I have something to tell my family. I've also showed a few of these videos to my parents, and they loved it so much. You guys have come a long way. Keep up the good work guys!
They're better than Simple History. At least Yarnhub spurs real effort into their animations and uses their visuals to tell a story, while Simple History recycles a lot if the same animations without much effort to use them to tell a story. Yarnhub's animation and style has truly progressed over the past few years, while Simple History's animation has stagnated at the same level of lazy, uninspired style they pretty much always had. Yarnhub also doesn't do sponsorship ads, and Simple History will release a 5 minute video with over a minute's worth of sponsor ad. Simple History does have a lot of interesting topics though, and they do tell some stories well.
Imagine you are riding a car and suddenly you see someone injured from an accident and you decide to help and take him to the hospital And after they have recovered they put the blame on you Man it will be so stupid thing Pardo also suffered from the same thing but thankfully his actions got recognition
now, imagine if you are driving a car that isnt your own, lend to you for your service, with the same applying to the other Car The Car is not easly replaced and will likely take a year or more to be replaced if at all. Now imagine the car is something you need a lot of training driving, and you bringing the other person to the hospital had the potential of killing you..... from a military perspective, this was the right thing, to consider charging them, the military dosnt need heros, it needs people who carry out orders(as long as they are legaly valid) Moraly the pilot was right, tacticaly this could very well have cost more lives down the line do to unavailable air support later. The pilot basicly changed a "1 plane and crew safely returning with 1 plane and crew crashing, and possibly dying or being captured" scenario to "2 planes certainly lost, with no guarantee of any of the pilots surviving either" scenario
He’s not the only pilot to used his plane to maneuver another plane to stay in the air During the Korean war in 1952, James Robinson Risner was on an escort mission to escort F-84 thunderjets on a bombing run in China near the Yalu river After the mission was completed, they made their way home. On the return flight, Risner's wingman, 1st Lt. Joseph Logan, was struck in his fuel tanks by anti-aircraft fire over Antung. In an effort to help him reach Kimpo, Risner attempted to push Logan's aircraft by having him shut down his engine and inserting the nose of his own jet into the tailpipe of Logan's, an unprecedented and untried maneuver. The object of the maneuver was to push Logan's aircraft to the island of Cho Do off the North Korean coast, where the Air Force maintained a helicopter rescue detachment. Jet fuel and hydraulic fluid spewed out from the damaged Sabre onto Risner's canopy, obscuring his vision, and turbulence kept separating the two jets. Risner was able to re-establish contact and guide the powerless plane out over the sea until fluids threatened to stall his own engine. Near Cho Do, Logan bailed out after calling to Risner, "I'll see you at the base tonight." Although Logan came down close to shore and was a strong swimmer, he became entangled in his parachute shrouds and drowned. Risner shut down his own engine in an attempt to save fuel, but eventually his engine flamed out and he glided to a deadstick landing at Kimpo. The maneuver made by Pardo during the Vietnam war is known as Pardo’s push The history channel series, dogfights, later depicted this aviation maneuver in the episode MIG alley used by Risner
I was 8 years old that year and my uncle Jack flew a F4 in the war, very intelligent guy, I was in awe, he'd show me photos of himself in his flight suit next to his phantom preflight, very proud of him and all who served and those who serve now, thank you, because of you all I have freedoms and am blessed.🙏🇺🇸
Funny story, my uncle actually knows the guy who pushed his friend with his jet and he settled in the San Jose area, and he donated a fishing boat to the veterans association and they take veterans fishing in Monterey bay for free. Another funny story is as they were taking the boat back to moss landing near Monterey in CA it lost power in high seas and they thought they would lose it, but they got it to moss landing safely somehow.
Wow. just wow. the faces and the bodies are getting soooo much better and the face looks improved and almost real, i can't say i was sad that the video ended but ii knew you would post soon!
Yarnhub is one of the best history channels in YT & the animations is getting better. Can you put in the description about all the software and devices you use to make these videos. My humble request 😊
A great story with a very lucky last minute recovery with the Helicopter. Heroes all of them with brass balls displaying great pilots and comradeship 👍👍👍
I'm so glad this happened. My uncle was in the back seat of the lead plane. He probably wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the push. I remember hearing that story back when I was 5 or so years old at grandma's house. The first of many times. He told me that after using the windshield, Pardo figured out how to push it with one the metal protrusions on the nose of the fighter. My uncle Bob also sustained permanent back injuries from the ejection seat.
I can't believe how much this channel has grown! It's only been a year or two since the original vid of the BF 109 sparing a flying fortress and the animation since then is has improved expenentoily phenomenal I love it
During the Korean War, Robert Reisner, an Air Force flyer in an f-86, did a similar trick in an attempt to save his wingman. He pushed his wingman's jet out to sea, but sadly, the wingman drown after ejecting.
From propellered planes to jet engines, really smooth and great animations as always YarnHub, thank you again for the educational content, looking forward to more videos as always.
Another great production guys! If I remember correctly, I believe a similar incident occurred with 2 sabres, but unfortunately the pilot of the plane being pushed lost his life in the sea where he got entangled in his parachute. Keep up the great work!
Holly crap, I got history channels old “dogfights” show flashback with these amazing animations. I’ve been looking for anything similar to scratch that itch that old show got. You should seriously do more stories like that show!!
I was on an AOE Seattle, 1976 we had the USS America along side for unrep , she was launching the F4 Phantoms and recovering them, what made it so spectacular was that all the F4s we're painted with stars and stripes , pure beauty
Please may i say that your animations are just... like... sooo goood! I thought your first videos were good, but this has to be the best video that you have done! Keep up the fantastic work!!

*Why do you speak like this*
@Cyber Beast I know you mean no harm, I was just curious...
this is a true victory for aviation history damn one of my favorite stories
Funny story, my uncle actually knows the guy who pushed his friend with his jet and he settled in the San Jose area, and he donated a fishing boat to the veterans association and they take veterans fishing in Monterey bay for free. Another funny story is as they were taking the boat back to moss landing near Monterey in CA it lost power in high seas and they thought they would lose it, but they got it to moss landing safely somehow.
"We did it! We made it back alive!"
"Where plane?"
So true
The 4 pilots: "Hey guys, we made it alive! We did it!"
The USAF brass: W H E R E I S T E H P L A N E
I've been watching this for over a year now and the animations get better with every video and wow he narrates it Perfectly
Wow. just wow. the faces and the bodies are getting soooo much better and the face looks improved and almost real, i can't say i was sad that the video ended but ii knew you would post soon!
Something that I’ve noticed in a lot of yarn hub videos is that usually the children of the hero’s watch em and I think that’s pretty cool
This animation is SO good and also all the little details and textures make it even better
1:12 love that shot from cockpit, idk why, but it gives the hit more dynamic and will draw you into the action.
Yarnhub is one of the best history channels in YT & the animations is getting better. Can you put in the description about all the software and devices you use to make these videos.
My humble request 😊
We use Unreal Engine mainly
@@Yarnhub Thanks
Finally some history I didn't know ^~^ thank you for gifting me this knowledge. It'll make a find addition to my collection.
Can’t believe that yarnhub went from 2d animation to high quality 3D
He should've gotten the medal of honor that's above and beyond heroic. Great video thanks !
Yay a new vid from the best UA-cam channel
That is what friends and comrade are for! What a wonderful true story! Bravery, determination and innovation ! Well done to these guys!
This thing got "Carry ur teammate" to a whole new level
A great story with a very lucky last minute recovery with the Helicopter. Heroes all of them with brass balls displaying great pilots and comradeship 👍👍👍
Rest in peace Bob Pardo
I'm so glad this happened. My uncle was in the back seat of the lead plane. He probably wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the push. I remember hearing that story back when I was 5 or so years old at grandma's house. The first of many times. He told me that after using the windshield, Pardo figured out how to push it with one the metal protrusions on the nose of the fighter. My uncle Bob also sustained permanent back injuries from the ejection seat.
Everyone: The animations are getting better!!
Me: Yes, but the narration has always been top notch
I can't believe how much this channel has grown! It's only been a year or two since the original vid of the BF 109 sparing a flying fortress and the animation since then is has improved expenentoily phenomenal I love it
During the Korean War, Robert Reisner, an Air Force flyer in an f-86, did a similar trick in an attempt to save his wingman. He pushed his wingman's jet out to sea, but sadly, the wingman drown after ejecting.
Yes it is so sad he got tangled in his parachute
From propellered planes to jet engines, really smooth and great animations as always YarnHub, thank you again for the educational content, looking forward to more videos as always.
3:20 and that kids is how new planes are made....
go to horny jail

@@cardiv5zuikaku944 Wait! You are here too?! OMG! I also subbed to you!
That's how create mother bombers.
@@tmwarthunder1016 Yarnhub is one of my fav Historical channel, so yeah, and thank you uwu
Man ur videos are now top notch Yarnhub! And also I greatly admire ur animations like i'am watching a film.
The animator should be given a raise, the animation is a massssssive jump from your older video
Another great production guys!
If I remember correctly, I believe a similar incident occurred with 2 sabres, but unfortunately the pilot of the plane being pushed lost his life in the sea where he got entangled in his parachute.
Keep up the great work!
(Yarnhub posts a video)
Me: This is the happiest day of my life.😊
Holly crap, I got history channels old “dogfights” show flashback with these amazing animations. I’ve been looking for anything similar to scratch that itch that old show got. You should seriously do more stories like that show!!
How do you guys only have 230k subs? This is unbelievable, you should get way more. Keep up the good work, and thanks for making my day!
Amazing to see the evolution of this channel from 2d short videos to these high quality 3d mini-documentaries, almost.
The animation looks like a war thunder match. Impressive
YES
*Most probably the best wingman, a good friend, one can have.*
When reality is more ridiculous that fiction
I was on an AOE Seattle, 1976 we had the USS America along side for unrep , she was launching the F4 Phantoms and recovering them, what made it so spectacular was that all the F4s we're painted with stars and stripes , pure beauty
You guys should do a series on soldiers receiving the highest honor of their country. I.e. Medalof Honor for USA
Great Story, in my opinion.
Leadership, Bravery, Teamwork,
Resourcefulness/Ingenuity.
Plus, Great Job by Yarnhub, Wow.
"Fuel is low, we won't make it!"
*Boop the snoot it it then*
WOW!!
This way the most exciting episode I ve ever experienced! A true nail biter to the very end! Great work, dudes!
the last time i was this early the all american hasn't been slice through by another plane yet
Please may i say that your animations are just... like... sooo goood!
I thought your first videos were good, but this has to be the best video that you have done!
Keep up the fantastic work!!
The F4 Phantom is my favorite plane.
It’s so cool to see the animations improve from video to video
WHO LOVES HIS 3D ANIMATION LIKE ME
I do
I really like when he says in a gentle and clear in every video he uploads.
This guy deserves an ice cream for his incredible animation
