  • Last month, Infographics put out a video about how difficult it is to become a fighter pilot in the United States. This is my reaction video and comments on the information they presented while debunking some of the myths.

      Infographics have frustrated me for years now. They make a huge amount of baseless assertions and clearly don't research the subject nor have the knowledge to speak off-hand about it. For example comparing the North Korean air force with western nations and suggesting their entire fleet is 4th gen modern fighters rather than the huge reliance on Vietnam and Korean war hardware. There's simply a lot of "common knowledge" fear mongering nonsense similar but worse than the usual newspaper hit pieces.

    As a fighter pilot, one of the lamest things to hear from civilians while showing off the F-15E at airshows is "I wanted to be a pilot, but..." Infographics like those give them the bad info. You don't need perfect vision, you don't need to look like the Statue of David, just need to be an average person with the will to fight through the bullshit and eventually understand how basic geometry works when you get to the b course. But like you said, the pilot crisis has nothing to do with recruitment, it has everything to do with retaining experienced pilots and that is a whole other discussion.

    • @destroyer56
      @destroyer56 5 років тому +31

      @TrendingStuff Allday There really isn't a lot of math or physics involved for the average fighter pilot. Of course you have to understand the basics, but plenty of fighter pilots majored in history in college. If you can grasp that being inside a turn circle closes distance quicker than being outside, you can fly fighters, as long as the stick and rudder aspect is good too.
      I studied aeronautical engineering in college. It has not made me a better fighter pilot, just gives potential for follow on assignments.

      I believe it would be better if they did their own research than to watch the video. Not saying it isnt a great video, or that his video is untrue. But training to become a fighter pilot is hard. Not as hard as the infographics chanel eluded to, but in my opinion.. if they cant do the research to figure things out and they just get the answers handed to them, it's kind of setting them up for a flop in my opinion. It's a bit like looking in the back of the textbook to get the answers for the homework. Yes, the answers are correct, but the homework is the practice for the test, and the answers for the test arent in the back of the book. Just my 2c though, different strokes and all.

      Xylem • as mentioned, there are multiple avenues to commissioning (OTS, AFA, ROTC..). OTS is a program for prior enlisted so that’s not something I’d aim for if you haven’t already been enlisted for a few years and hold a degree.
      The best way I’d recommend to commission is through the Air Force Academy, if you are selected. You will begin both the AFA and ROTC fresh and will earn your degree upon completion of the programs.
      If you’re still in high school, there’s plenty of time to focus on your studies and apply for AFA. Even if you’ve graduated, there’s always time to begin working at a degree and enroll in ROTC. Either way, visit your local recruiter for more info on the best path to take forward. Yes, it can be a pain warning a degree but if you’re looking to commission, that’s a great incentive lol.

Like tankers are usually converted commercial jets and they also cost millions, transport aircraft are multi-million dollars. Fighters are expensive sure but they they aren't the only expensive aircraft. It's not a big deal but it's just part of the whole misinformed attitude about aviation in this video where they try more to make it sound cool rather than deliver accurate information.

      Well half of the Russian aircraft (the Sukhoi series) do look really attractive, with their sleek wings, wide profile, large size and general bird-of-prey aesthetics. They also have a dogfighter's characteristics with excellent thrust, light weight, a massive payload and impressive agility, which appeal to our romantic notions of air combat.
      The US aircraft look like they're a flying gun with a plane stapled onto it (A-10) or a fat turkey with stubby wings (F-35). The general wingspan is also way too narrow and single engines give the impression of less speed than dual engines. I'd say the F-22 or F-14 are/were the only really attractive-looking aircraft in the entire arsenal.

I always direct people to that. It's a great way to get your feet wet to see if you'd even like sitting in little cramped up cockpits a few thousand feet above the ground (typically just under cloud level, so about 3k feet), and since they have no motors it's the most simple form of flight there is
