- Mega Pit Stops - Episode 3: Fighter Jet - Putting a war machine to the acid test.
It is one of the most popular and best fighter jets in the world: JAS 39. The so called “Gripen” is a light single-engine multirole fighter aircraft manufactured by the Swedish aerospace company Saab. At the Czech Air Force Base in Caslav, the jet gets the biggest overhaul of its lifetime!
In only 40 days, the Gripen is stripped down to its bone, everything from the ejection seat to the engine is removed and checked. The 14 Gripen of the airbase are part of the “Quick Reaction Alert” Force of the NATO. If they are not in the air, the airspace is not protected. That puts a lot of time pressure and liability to the 11 mechanics, who are responsible for the aircraft.
The machinists put the war machine to the acid test. They check the hydraulic system, all moving parts and the oil - the aircraft`s blood. It is one of the most important things of the Gripen: without it, the pilot is not able to control the jet. The ejection seat - the pilot`s life insurance. The access panel is examined painstakingly - the skin. The biggest part is the engine check: the turbine is the heart of the Gripen. In the end, the weapon system - the fist - will be disassembled, so the gun is working when it is needed in action.
Every fault they will find means a delay to the schedule. So the team has to work really concentrated and, above all properly, that the Gripen will be able to start in time.

I know one of the guys personally. He says the most stressfull part is that a pilot's life depends on your precise work. It's no fun. I have great respect for them.
Hi
@@rirfankhan8738 read quran bro
Are the translations in this video correct ?
Is there a possibility to ask him which school he attended to do this work? Thank you @Dagmar Kalina
@@francescogendrinable Hi, he attended The Armed Forces Technical School, Halmstad, Sweden. I don't know how it works elsewhere, but in Czech Republic you have to join the military to be able to get this type of training.
Multi-million dollar machines, state-of-the-art equipment, massive facilities, and a piece of cardboard with holes punched in it to make sure everything goes back together correctly.
🤣🤣🤣 exactly
We do the same with $300k racing cars too!
...aka field upgrades 😁
If it ain't broke don't fix it. Why use a multi-thousand dollar tool when a free piece of cardboard works.
Pilots Can Trust there Machine just because of these amazing technicians. Massive Respect to you Guys :)
These guys are brilliant! It's so enjoyable to see people who love their jobs so much.
I've talked to some pilots and they say the real heroes are the mechanics. Hats off to them.
Like with many things it’s a team effort which is the coolest thing ever.
19:30 - they really have fallout art for their caution posters. I love this so much.
The fallout posters were awesome!
Who ? What ? 😮
"sadly I wasn't able to become a pilot myself as my hearing and sight weren't good enough that's why I became a mechanic"
I remember that day I visited some army officiers at a orientation meeting when I was 18.
I explained to them that I'm deaf, I can talk and read on lips. And they told me I can't work in the army at all even as a mechanic.
I dreamed to be a fighter pilot.
I'm glad I can watch these guys accomplishing their dreams at least.
What if you could get your hearing back ? I can help you with that
Excellent documentary. Cudos to the hard working team and just wonderful to see the Swedish made equipment put into good use and in good hands!
That was an exceptional engineering, the mechanic has carefully check everything correctly, I would say this is excellent.
😐... u shure ?
Nice to see professionals at work. The Czech facility looks really clean and neat
Every time i got tired from my daily routine i come here to watch these documentary it really make me feel batter and relax my mind Thanks for giving us theses documentaries
Excellent documentary; congrats to the Czech team doing that great work. Hats off to SAAB and the Swedes for designing this beautiful machine. Unfortunately because of such low numbers produced its very expensive to acquire though operating costs are the best in the world!
Beautifully organized "pit stop". Bravo Czech !!!! I hope we will be at least half of you !!!! If we choose Grippen ...
Excellent insight into the professional back-up service package that provides on-going aircraft operational readiness. The cleanliness and space of the working environment is impressive, so to the methodical precision applied by all the engineers. Superb attention to detail. Thank you for this video, it is very interesting indeed.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and let us know! Much appreciated. 🥰
I am loving these documentaries. This channel is really informative. I love it.
Excellent documentary. Cudos to the hard working team and just wonderful to see the Swedish made equipment put into good use and in good hands!
I just love these type of documentaries as i love fighter jets! They are lucky to have JAS gripens as fighter jets!
one of the most powerful military jet fighter...incredible
Ok
pipen? :))))))))
Really?..
What a joke!!! Most powerful? This RC Plane?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@markovincek1835 better then f16 and f35, so.
Nice to see these highly skilled guys at work.
Those Czechs are good eggs. They don't take short cuts! A weapons platform like this, which is a solid weapons system...is only good as the pilot at the controls. But... the pilot is only as good as the flight crew keeping these incredibly complicated and high tech machines operating at the its absolute highest possibility capabilities. Every time those pilots positions and holds in the runway..their lives are literally in the hands of that crew and their efforts for nearly two months. It really is amazing how so many people can come together working on machines with thousands of parts where...if just one tiny part fails... a pilot and $35 million buck become an extremely expensive lawn dart! A dart that explodes in a fireball!
Good on ya, Czech Republic. Glad you're on our side!
Hard work, dedication and involvement
Amazing world of precise and massive repairing ... super informative!!
that Czech facility is so neat....so organized.
Thx
Its a Swedish plane bro
Its sweden. Now known to be decade after swedistan..thanks to migration
@@vivekbhagat114 it is not
Vivek Bhagat wtf is swedistan
19:29 Vault-Tec safety advice is priceless 👍
we all are nerds, after all. and we love it
Love how the winches for lowering the engine are the field winches for loading weapons. Good design.
The universal channel .
Thanksgiving , for your hard work put in it , traveling and setupping team. 🌌♾️🔥🙏
Every Aeronotical Engineer must see this Video Also Mechanical Engineer.Really Helpfull Video.Thank you very much to Video Makers and all engineers.Praise you so much.
Awesome documentary giving insights. Got to learn a lot . Thank u so much and looking forward for many more . Cheers!!!
Great job of technicians behind powerfull jet machine Gripen
What a Team!! Respect and passion is rare! Much Respect to them!
Very nice to see how you work and doing a great job!
Tomas is so passionate about his hobby and job - Happy to see it.
I'm Southern bred / Southern bound here in Georgia USA, but being of Czech-German descent, this video made me kinda proud in a way.
Thanks from BraziL!!!
Fallout workplace safety stickers? I like these guys.
Amazing 👍🤙🤩🇸🇪 As im watching this, Im passing on the highway E4 outside Linköping home of SAAB Gripen 💪
Thanks too much for share that kind of information and videos!
Everybody who ever worked on a fighter jet knows that this is not an easy job! I had my fair share on F-16 as a weapon technician.
You're absolutely right! Sadly, some who commented here just had no idea nor brains to appreciate such zero-tolerance work.
im from bulgarian air force, and soon will be working on f 16 :)
NATO is gay
im planning to take BSAMT for college and i always find fighter jets nice and cool haha they kinda look challenging to maintain btw great documentary, keep this up
Keep up the good work, it`s been a long time since i watched tv because of channels like this actually is more interesting and we also learn something. Thanks
THE BEST CHANNEL IN THE WORLD thx!!!! brasil love you =)
Very informative, great work.
This is a super interesting documentary !
Really nice for Volvo Cars R & D engineer, in service for 36 years, now retired since one week :) !
Regs from Gripenland. Kent/Sweden
I'm amazed how clean the engine is going back in ,engines usually have alot more auxiliaries strapped to them ,they must be already in the fuselage waiting to be connected, for quick exchanges 😮
Vielen Dank allen Mechaniker & Hydrauschlich mit Flüssigkeit am Arbeit.......
DEAR SIR,
I AM AN FAA LICENSED AIRFRAME AND POWERPLANT AND A GRAUDUATE OF ENGINEERING OF AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE OF THE YEAR 1975. I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE DETAIL OF THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE WHICH IS GREATLY REQUIRED TO CONTIUE TO BE AIRWORTHINESS AND PERFORME IN A SAFE MANNER UNTIL THE NEXT
INTERVAL SERVICE.THE TEAMWORK ARE AMAZING AND VERY PROFESSIONL EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. IMPRESSIVE.
Great fighter jet, the Czech Air Force did a good job buying these.
Vielen Dank allen Spezialist & Militärische Bereichen ......Bis President ganzen Welt ......
It makes me dreaming……
Big salut from France 🇫🇷
Vinz.🙋♂️
Well I love to hear the story that they want to share it's a serious job that only highly motivated people who have high skills and intelligence and I respect them for being able to get the job done and the trust they have for each other is staggering cause they have honor and that's why they are so successful in what they do they are brother in arms
Great job..love from india🇮🇳
Feel bad for the mechanic that he can't fly, but being able to fix them is pretty cool. I too know how it feels not to be able to do what you want because of your bodies defects
Xlaxsauce I presume you are not engineer or mechanic? For us it is not matter of flying but satisfaction of play with this technology and satisfaction that each plane we repair land safe.
@@abazdarhon He literally said he couldn't become one, so yeah.
Don’t kid yourself he makes more than the pilots
Always doing an awesome job. Very informative. Thanks!
Good information despite the drama.
Addicted to this channel...
thank you.
Love the fall out reference on 19:31 xD
It looks amazing
22.47 he is so polite,it’s the way he says to the TV flip off and don’t distract me!
Im loving thèse documentaries. So great working iliiik it 👍👍
Great documentary, thank you!
Nice video
Thank you!
ผมเป็นกำลังใจครับผม
Wow amazing to watch these guys...incredible task..
Good to have the Czechs on our side these days.
The czechs are nothing without the Slovaks, they're the ones who trained and funded them.
I just love this channel
Good job i salute all team of workshop
Best documentary
In Need to say how important you're job is to the fleet and the team anyway on top of everything 🤝✌
The Career I wanna fulfill is to be part of the Aircraft Maintenance Squadron in SA Air force😭😭...this my favorite Documentary ever👏✊👌
3.00 I totally agree with this. I am equally amazed that ships weighing 1000s of tons can float,!!!
They are so good at it. Love it. I hope my country Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 owns at least 1 jet fighter in the future.
Patrick, some time maybe Papua N,G. will have hundreds from his little Fighter. To fight against the enemy, maybe australia? Good Hoope.....
AMAZING VIDEOS
The only not shown here are avionics system, radar unit, control panels, weapons attachments,...probably high confidentiality and top secret...many thanks for this impressive works of Grippen 39.
Hard Working Team
i wish had a mechanic like them for my car :D
Thanks for posting this video!!!
I love this documentaries, I learn so much! Like when the guy says "if the engine fails, the plane won't fly" I'm so glad they made that clear, I'm not really good with aerodynamic engineering...
Glad that they helped you
Very interesting keep goin' with others documentary, I love It 👍
I love all aviation docs
Nice to see they take good care of our Gripens they are leasing..
;)
Thank You for Your Documentaries. I am from THAILAND and one of country have this aircraft
You're very welcome. Thank you for watching!
I read you you beat China in like redflag thing in Asia with Gripen. Good 👍
Very informative thank you
These macanics are amazing
50 days of work for numerous mechanics and the jet is now ready for another 200 hours of flying! Egads! That’s a harsh ratio of ground hours to flight hours!
The gripen is one of the least demanding of service intervalls of all the fighters in the world. So just imagine how often a F-35 have to do there service
@@Jesusswe91 Yeah that airplane is a big waste of tax money if something is!
The test pilot is brave i got respect for him
I'm working as maintenance technician in car factory, it's a stressful job I can't imagine these men job
Nice work.
Aside from the dramatization added by the documentary people (the actual people seemed way more chill), I learned quite a bit.
Beautiful and very difficult job
But awesome
I like this video
I have a friend working in the AIRBUS tell me how stressful this job and associated with many things largely inside.. anyways looking at this job I salute them
Hoping that someday the Philippines will buy this one of the state of the art fighter plane, gripen is one of the best fighter jets in the world ☝️
Swedish design love it
@@supercat380 I can confirm! I also work as an russian bot to create caos in europe!❤
On a serius note, why do you say things like that? Do you even live in Sweden?
Only 3 Bolts to mount Engine means Bolt material is precious n thx for quality vdo.🙏🙏🇮🇳💌🦞
So beautiful job FOREVER.... THANKS YOU UPLOADED THIS BEAUTIFUL WORK VIDEO... WITH EXPERIENCE WORKING PEOPLE'S.... THANKS AGAIN
I LOVE THIS MAAAN....
Love the card board at 14 min. 😃
This ^Czech^ invention was invented long before these guys were borne. Have been used on aircraft maintenance since the 50s. Even this storage template does not allow you to forget the parts manual for correct location of fasteners. The main problem with this video is the drama created just for the audience.
Low tech = GENEIOUS!
At the time of test flight when jet was in the air safely I was feeling proud like I am the part of this maintenance team..Great job guys👍
