I am a truck driver who goes from Salt Lake to Idaho 5 days a week. These guys have a nasty habit of buzzing my truck out of the woodwork in the middle of nowhere Idaho. Its actually one of the coolest things Ive ever seen in over 40 years of driving. Always wakes me right up. I love watching them do their maneuvers out of Hill AFB.
Glad you get to see these amazing machines. Here in NH where they have a flight area over the White Mountains in my 20 years living here we can hear the f35s and their predecessors but never catch sight. Too high to stay above mountains?
We live near the takeoff flight path near Hill AFB, and it thrills us every time we see and hear them roar literally right over our house. Our son in law was part of the Operational Test squadron at Edwards AFB for the F35. We are proud of the many contributions he and his squadron mates made toward making the F35 the amazing plane that it is.
@@alexsky88749 I’ll pose this question to you. Would you want those who would do harm to your friends and family to be able to upon up this UA-cam vid, read an answer I give you, and learn about our assets capabilities ?
I have seen the demo in person many times. It's impressive to the point I actually hold my breath during some of the maneuvers, it's THAT cool. I got to meet Beo at one of the shows and she is such a joy to talk to. As a "girl dad" seeing her talking to young children and engaging with them was heartwarming. She's a class act and a great representative of our fighting men and women. The airframe, beyond impressive. Still not in my personal top 5 favorites, but I's give my right arm to fly it. Being 61, I have seen a lot of airshows in my days. Blue Angles in F4's should tell you I have seen my share. I'm looking forward to seeing the F35 again this summer and CCAS at KMHR. Sam, awesome video as usual. You do great work that is fun to watch, full of valuable information and we can all tell you have a genuine love for what you do. We're lucky to have a "friend" like you on YT. -Phantom
@@RKZX2 It's about the pilot (and what they're allowed to do) not really the aircraft these days. most new fighter jets can do nearly all of the same maneuvers. Like most airshows in America are handicapped by the rules unless they're beach shows/over the ocean
It's not cause of the military budget lol. The US spends more money per capita on healthcare than any other nation, including those that have free healthcare.
I was born with one hand, and faced so much adversity growing up. I thought I wasn’t gonna be able to take care of myself as a man and my family. I was denied my childhood dream of going to the navy seals. Watching you give out game and showing us it’s possible through your page continues to inspire and motivate me to be the best version of myself and to stay focused on my purpose Sam. Much respect brother 🙏🏽
its what we see in public.. i would love to see what lockeed martin skunk works has in the back.. the rumour is that they never managed to reverse engineer the spacecraft from 1947 and are stuck.. all we get is bits and peaces like stealth, semiconductors, fiberoptics and AI
From one veteran to another thank you so much for sharing this F-35 demonstration. Extremely impressed by the capabilities of this aircraft and the pilots that fly them. Keeping America safe.🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻
Lol, How you are living your life after killing 1.2 million babies and families who did nothing to you.? But i think Americans are used to live like that also they cant live without killing babies.
I saw the F-35 for the first time last year at the NATO Days event in Ostrava (Czech Republic). And twice with two types from two countries: F-35A Lightning II Demonstration Team - with phenomenal Kristin "Beo" Wolfe behind the stick. And in the second sequence F-35B Lightning II from 207 Squadron from the Royal Air Force. "Beo" showed a wonderful display, where the Prandlo effect could be seen for a short time, the British machine showed a VTOL display. Amazing machines, amazing experience :)
As a finnish person as I'm living where fighter squadron 11 is located, I can't wait next summers open day. Our country is waiting for 64 f-35a and first ones of those are coming here. So I'm pretty sure we have some in next summer's open day.
I absolutely LOVE living next to the base, and getting to hear and watch the jets pretty much every day. I'm always running to the window to see them, or onto my deck to get pictures with my camera. It's incredible what they can do! It's also super fun when they come roaring right over, shaking the entire house!
Sam this was EPIC! Then again, I've probably said that on the last 50+ vids you've made because each one is always better than the last. The whole production level rivals NatGeo, but it's your enthusiasm and Sam-eye perspective, that adds the secret sauce. Clearly the F-35 technology, weapons possibilities and overall performance are impressive. But....I'm lining up over behind the 'all in A-10'. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt - tech that! 😎
I've been able to see Kristin's performances in the F-35 4 or 5 times now. They're always a blast and she seems to really enjoy flying that thing. It's great getting to see her in this video after seeing her in the air so many times
For your own information helmet mounted displays aren't necessarily a new thing they are used in f-18 super hornets, f-22s, f-16s, and even A-10s. The f35 just takes it one step further with the ability to look through the aircraft.
Wait till they transfer that tech to the infantry... it'd be like the grunts in Halo (more Halo 4 tie-in "movie" Forward unto Dawn UNSC Marines Cadets) as much as they try... no one has that tech nicely implemented… for now...
@@PrograError I believe I watched some documentary about that, and they did do some kind of combat simulator with the HUD on. But from what I remember, the problems are 1. Weight, it's just heavy to have a 2+ kg helmet on your head all day, along with batteries etc, 2. Battery. Can't always charge your batteries in a warzone, and those helmets sure use a lot of power. 3. Not *that* useful. Most of the information that the HUD displays for infantry is stuff that could easily just be displayed on a phone or something similar (which I do think they, or some infantry, have already), like the location of friendly infantry or armour, potential hostiles, points of interest etc.
One of the best aviation channels out there in the world, I would say. I love learning so much information about jets, even though I know it's only a small fraction of what they have to offer. From this point of view, it was quite an interesting experience. I am eagerly looking forward to having many more experiences like this in the future videos.
My dad was 34th TFS, part of the 388th out f Hill. He was a crew chief on F-4D and E models. I'd have to ask exactly what year because I can't remember, but he was there when they got the first F-16s. Pretty cool to see his old unit flying Fat Amy.
@samEckholm you forgot the craziest thing about the F-35 helmet is the fact that it costs as much as a single family home. the amount of gadgets, and tech built into that thing is insane. I live near Hill and I will never get tired of watching pilots as they come and go every day. Awesome video man, you are a lucky man to even get a chance to wear that gear
We got two squadrons of em over at Lakenheath a little while back and when I tell you that watching them take off at night is one of the coolest things ever, I'm not kidding. They shake the earth at full afterburn, they spit fire like the F15s, they are anything but stealthy at that moment. And they might just be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. The helmet I swear looks like something ripped outta Titanfall which is sick as hell
Another incredible video Sam!! Thanks for your amazing work. Loved seeing the F-35 in action and learning more about it. It has been fun to see the test flights in Ft Worth over the years here and so impressive what this versatile fighter can do, but the F-16 will always be my fave!! Keep em coming!!
NGAD will be out of this world. But whichever, the F-22 Raptor will forever remain the best fighter to ever roll out of any production line. Also, that F-35 helmet is crazy cool in addition to being that for the price of one, you can get yourself a supercar.
@@RKZX2 None of today’s fighter jets have really been in combat. But they have been plenty of simulated combats, where they are taken to their limits. And no, F-22 is not better in these categories.

had the pleasure to watch F35B in san francisco fleet week flight show, airplane is just piece of art with vtol capabilities is just masterpiece, the sound it makes it was just like in warzone
My brother flys the f35a and is a graduate of the 6th fighter weapon squadron only select few get an opportunity to do which is top gun for the air force. It’s pretty amazing, I’ve got to see all this up close and worn the helmet and g suit.
@TLDE.0 Copy and paste question mark? If you are either that dumb or illiterate and can't use the internet and look it up yourself in thirty seconds , sure. It was. The 2021 Strategic readiness report on the defense department website.
The pilot makes flying look easy, I’ve seen this jet in person as well. It’s better to leave the head phones off :), unless you’re on a flight deck with an f35 b or c, the Pratt and Whitney engine is gloriously loud. The beauty of the jet is hard to display at an air show like it’s stealth, situational awareness, data sharing, and everything else that makes it a real potent aircraft.
I lived in Clearfield Utah, sometime back! When I tell stories about that time in my life. I tell people that, everyday was a airshow! I'd walk out my front door and straight ahead about 3 miles. Was Hill Air force base! I miss Utah so much! Those were the best days of my life! 💯
insane timing! I leave for basic march 18th and my mos is 5th gen tac maintenance with the f35! thanks for the video and allowing me to learn somethings before i go!
I’m only 16 but I’ve actually had the privilege to sit in an f-35a and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Seeing one of these up close and personal is for sure a crazy experience
F-35’s are insane aircraft glad to have opportunity to work around them once. Also I like that you showed off the flight equipment shop that was my job in the Navy amazing job a lot of responsibility.
Hi, how are you doing? My name is Bien; I am from Germany, but I grew up in the state. I am currently on a peacekeeping mission here in Syria, and I have a few weeks to return to the state. I will like to be your friend and get to know you better. What is your name? And where are you from?
I have WarLeaks and so many more military channels and I came across this while smoking with my brother talking aviation. (he's a retired fighter pilot) and man I can say all the information was on point 😅 my brother was literally stating the same facts. Really got him reminiscing and opening up with more stories of his time in combat. I really appreciate you 🫡 you got my like and subscribe lol
I am a Turkish citizen. I watched your F-35 promotional video and was amazed. My country was going to have this weapon system, but we could not receive it due to wrong political decisions. I hope one day the wind will turn and we will get it.
I doubt the Administrations would ever OK it again... tho you guys have your own anyway... It might compete with the Korean F21 if it could out soon enough when the F21 is in block 4 or so (that's when they planned to produce 5th gen equivalent fuselage with in-bays)
@@PrograError Koreans and Japanese can buy parts from the West without an embargo. Despite this, they are progressing slowly. Turkey was under a military embargo until the last few months. Despite this, Kaan's first flight took place. US officials say that if we send the S-400 system to Azerbaijan, we can return to the F-35 project. declared
@@woodslurker5368 lol true af. Any maintainer that works F-35 will cuss out lockheed every day of the week when breaking into these aircraft. "maintenance friendly"..... I call bullsht.
Im just a regular person. Christian seems like an incredible person. When i see jets in the air, i stop what i am doing and just watch in awe. I think I am so grateful for the pilots and the weapons. I also think about how difficult it must be to be just a regular person like myself in another country, seeing one of those and how terrifying it would be.
@@galetinmSlightly less maneuverable yes. Have you considered that the F-35 is the only fighter capable of tracking and locking onto targets in any direction?
Most advanced fighter jet trained by Kamikaze pilot, twenty-nine F-35 crashes throughout the 17 years history... Can you hear the $3.19 billion dollar going down the toilet below the $10,000 toilet cover?
I watch the F35 A’s take off every day at work and let me tell you, there’s nothing like it. It’s a marvel of ingenuity. Would love to see a F22 Raptor take off though!
I never liked the F-35 that much until I saw it fly in person. The engine is SERIOUSLY impressive. It’s the loudest jet I’ve heard, at least that I can remember, and when it’s going away from you on afterburner, the engine looks like a bright light pointing at you. It’s hard to explain. Obviously, you can always see afterburners, but the F-35’s burner is BRIGHT, and LOUD.
Absolutely brilliant! I came here to learn about the F-35 as Canada's new fighter jet. Very well done and informative Sam! The animations really compliment the narrative. As a former F-18 Tech, I can't wait to see the F-35 up close and personal. Your video gives a superbly brief rundown of the F-35, exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the good work!
Having worked at Holloman a few years, F-35’s would transit through once in awhile. Mostly bird Colonels keeping up their flight pay. F-35’s, Stealth, F-22’s, F-16’s, all cool and capable aircraft. Thanks for the video.
The versatility of this plane is key. Not only will other Countries be able to talk (while in combat / training) to all of the other Allies, they can talk to all of the other branches. So, the Air Force can talk to the Navy, and the Marines. In other words, we have so many F - 35's in the air, it will be like trying to swat flies.
Amazing video!!! Grew up on airforce bases and live next to a base for years. Always lots of aircraft to enjoy. This jet is beautiful. So cool that you were privy to the new helmets and the flight suit. Still hanging on for a ride on one of their jets some day. Bucket list. Thanks so much.
Use this as a thread to debate which aircraft you think is the most advanced (since I know it's coming haha): 👇🏼
So the f-22 can go vertical in about 45sec (correct me if I’m wrong) how fast can the f-35 go vertical?

Well done as always, Sam! The amount of thrust coming out of that F135 engine is absolutely insane!
Feels like I've been waiting for another video from you! This one was just as awesome as the other ones, absolutely love the stuff you put out!
Please do a video on the Civil Air Patrol, it would help people who can’t enlist yet to do something along the lines of the Air Force
The pilot makes flying look easy, I’ve seen this jet in person as well. It’s better to leave the head phones off :), unless you’re on a flight deck with an f35 b or c, the Pratt and Whitney engine is gloriously loud. The beauty of the jet is hard to display at an air show like it’s stealth, situational awareness, data sharing, and everything else that makes it a real potent aircraft.
The Major is so confident when she speaks. Has been a while since I've seen anyone display this demeanor in such a natural way.
Many thanks Sam for uploading videos..❤❤❤
Actually learned alot from this one. Love it, Sam!
Truly a crazy aircraft just from the technological aspect
I lived in Clearfield Utah, sometime back! When I tell stories about that time in my life. I tell people that, everyday was a airshow! I'd walk out my front door and straight ahead about 3 miles. Was Hill Air force base! I miss Utah so much! Those were the best days of my life! 💯
If a perfect video exists this is it. Very funny , clear and well explained. Just makes you fall in love with these jets.
insane timing! I leave for basic march 18th and my mos is 5th gen tac maintenance with the f35! thanks for the video and allowing me to learn somethings before i go!
Good luck!!
@@SamEckholm thanks brother!
Been waiting for this one 🔥
Great vid like always
Appreciate it!
I’m only 16 but I’ve actually had the privilege to sit in an f-35a and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Seeing one of these up close and personal is for sure a crazy experience
Big props to all engineers involved in making this machine
F-35’s are insane aircraft glad to have opportunity to work around them once. Also I like that you showed off the flight equipment shop that was my job in the Navy amazing job a lot of responsibility.
Sam this was awesome I'm a huge fan of F-35 and hope to one day see it in person here in EU Slovenia. This plane has no competition :)
Actually, it has quite a few flaws. Actual fighter pilots prefer the older planes.
Hi, how are you doing? My name is Bien; I am from Germany, but I grew up in the state. I am currently on a peacekeeping mission here in Syria, and I have a few weeks to return to the state. I will like to be your friend and get to know you better. What is your name? And where are you from?
I have WarLeaks and so many more military channels and I came across this while smoking with my brother talking aviation. (he's a retired fighter pilot) and man I can say all the information was on point 😅 my brother was literally stating the same facts. Really got him reminiscing and opening up with more stories of his time in combat. I really appreciate you 🫡 you got my like and subscribe lol
I just bought a miniature f-35 model. It looks so cool to play with it while enjoying this video. Great content.
I am a Turkish citizen. I watched your F-35 promotional video and was amazed. My country was going to have this weapon system, but we could not receive it due to wrong political decisions. I hope one day the wind will turn and we will get it.
I don't think Turkey will receive the F35 as long as Erdogan is still there in power.
I doubt the Administrations would ever OK it again... tho you guys have your own anyway...
It might compete with the Korean F21 if it could out soon enough when the F21 is in block 4 or so (that's when they planned to produce 5th gen equivalent fuselage with in-bays)
@@PrograError Koreans and Japanese can buy parts from the West without an embargo. Despite this, they are progressing slowly. Turkey was under a military embargo until the last few months. Despite this, Kaan's first flight took place. US officials say that if we send the S-400 system to Azerbaijan, we can return to the F-35 project. declared
@Kaan_Thunderbolt03 This would be a big mistake on US part. Erdogan's administration is unreliable and not to be trusted.
KAAN var abi sizde... ! Ruslarin SU-57-si bu F35-i yener !
Bravo Sam, Great vid as always!
Lockheed Martin never makes me feel disappointed
Except for when you are the one working on their products 😂
@woodslurker5368 that's how they make money
Let’s be honest. Pratt & Whitney’s engine is truly remarkable.
@maritimeus yes, but the engine alone can't make the great jet.
@@woodslurker5368 lol true af. Any maintainer that works F-35 will cuss out lockheed every day of the week when breaking into these aircraft. "maintenance friendly"..... I call bullsht.
The production value on these videos are top notch, content is amazing!!
Much cooler than I could have imagined
Bro making recruitment ads for the Air Force.
And it's working cuz now I wanna join
The world's most advanced fighter jet to swim and BBQ 👍
Now crashed in New Mexico. it´s an invisible fighter
Im just a regular person. Christian seems like an incredible person. When i see jets in the air, i stop what i am doing and just watch in awe. I think I am so grateful for the pilots and the weapons. I also think about how difficult it must be to be just a regular person like myself in another country, seeing one of those and how terrifying it would be.
I'm proud to be an Air Force Veteran who happens to live close to Hill AFB. It's awesome to see the backyard represented so well! Great video!
Small children will never know what hit them
experience the full force of democracy!
I disagree with the title. In my option it’s the F-22 Raptor
No it is f35 because it is single engine but f22 is twin engine jet
It's talking about the most *advanced* fighter ever built, and that objectively is not the F-22.
@@dumdumbinks274most advanced fighter plane that is inferior in close combat to most fighter planes.
@@galetinmSlightly less maneuverable yes. Have you considered that the F-35 is the only fighter capable of tracking and locking onto targets in any direction?
bro thinks this is opinion based💀
What an amazing airplane, not only the plane but the pilots, the training, the infrastructure that backs it up is 2nd to none. God bless America🇺🇸
I lived 5 miles from Hill and I loved watching the F-35 fly, especially with the F-16s when they are really turning and burning.
Instant breast Implants! 11:35
Most advanced fighter jet trained by Kamikaze pilot, twenty-nine F-35 crashes throughout the 17 years history... Can you hear the $3.19 billion dollar going down the toilet below the $10,000 toilet cover?
The f-35 is not fit for purpose, officially!
Massive Respect... Thank you to all servicemen & women keeping us safe and going to literal extremes. You're all incredible human beings ❤️
I watch the F35 A’s take off every day at work and let me tell you, there’s nothing like it. It’s a marvel of ingenuity. Would love to see a F22 Raptor take off though!
Really well done. I couldn't stop paying attention. Much props!
I never liked the F-35 that much until I saw it fly in person. The engine is SERIOUSLY impressive. It’s the loudest jet I’ve heard, at least that I can remember, and when it’s going away from you on afterburner, the engine looks like a bright light pointing at you. It’s hard to explain. Obviously, you can always see afterburners, but the F-35’s burner is BRIGHT, and LOUD.
I’ve seen the demo team in person and they were amazing! It was a huge reason I love the f 35 so much
Beo is an absolute DAWG… got the honor to see her perform up close. Just flawless… Mach has some big shoes (or flight suit) to fill
Absolutely brilliant! I came here to learn about the F-35 as Canada's new fighter jet. Very well done and informative Sam! The animations really compliment the narrative. As a former F-18 Tech, I can't wait to see the F-35 up close and personal. Your video gives a superbly brief rundown of the F-35, exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the good work!

I worked in the design office at Filton as a design engineer working on the lift fan for F35, so the aircraft has a lot of memories for me.
It's actually so beautifull the design the technology it's always so beautifull to see one
Having worked at Holloman a few years, F-35’s would transit through once in awhile. Mostly bird Colonels keeping up their flight pay. F-35’s, Stealth, F-22’s, F-16’s, all cool and capable aircraft. Thanks for the video.
Highly respect these fighter pilots.
Watching this jet move and maneuver is just beautiful
The versatility of this plane is key. Not only will other Countries be able to talk (while in combat / training) to all of the other Allies, they can talk to all of the other branches. So, the Air Force can talk to the Navy, and the Marines. In other words, we have so many F - 35's in the air, it will be like trying to swat flies.
Props to the personnel in the PA office working with this youtuber.
Forever B2 and F22 fan!..I can’t cheat on those beautiful creations 😗
What an incredible fighter jet. Thanks for uploading this content.
Very proud to know I have an actual hand in the heart of this plane.
Amazing video!!! Grew up on airforce bases and live next to a base for years. Always lots of aircraft to enjoy. This jet is beautiful. So cool that you were privy to the new helmets and the flight suit. Still hanging on for a ride on one of their jets some day. Bucket list. Thanks so much.
in partnership with US AIR FORCE is such a flex 💪
Sam, you are matchless!! 🫡💛
When will you being doing a video on the MQ-9s? I'd love to see them!
I work on the F35, and I love it.
