Dan, that was awesome.. I am curious, makes me want to pull up my thermo-fluid systems design class notes.. because I would review how a jet engine works. I don't know how, but I am getting myself in one, come hell or high water! Ali
Hi, Dan was my guest for this video. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it! There are many more interesting videos to come, so please subscribe to my channel and stay tuned!
First of all, unless you are a reporter going on a joyride, it will be fairly difficult to get into a jet; most of it has to do with safety, in case you have to eject. You’ll also get basic explanations on how to use a parachute, because you will be wearing one and the oxygen mask system, which has the mike. Most first time flyers of press are also given a barf bag;?you don’t dare honk into the mask. But for those, the ride is usually gentle on the turns, Pilots and crews (such as I was occasionally in some (but not in the CF18, take a minimum of 3G on turns, and sometimes, it’s close to 5G (5x earth gravity); so they wear a G suit; which has inflatable bladders; look it up. Also, flying over 10,000 ft (3,000m) requires the person to go through the decompression chamber (I went 5x); which is supervised by aero medical personnel. You must have been certified “fit for flying”, before in a medical profile. It’s great stuff, and you’re encouraged to try to be a pilot; the training is a real grind. As to how jets work; the air is compressed from the intake (like a vacuum cleaner); through a set of small, then progressively larger blades into a chamber, where fuel is sprayed and there is ignition; with the hot air being forced out back through the exhaust tube. In aircraft with afterburners, the hot exhaust air is re-ignited, and it provides extra power (and the large flame)
Some of these comments about the Canadian jet having carrier landing hook because they landed in American carriers in the Iraq war and Afghanistan war plus most hornets were built that way cause there most common fighter jet used on aircraft carriers that was hard to figure out wasn't it people making comments before doing some thinking even for emergency situations where carrier is only options USA and UK were all there with carriers in middle East so better to have it
You're right, Canada doesn't have an aircraft carrier any more, but the tail hook isn't just for that. It's used to arrest the landing on short fields or icy runways, or if the brakes fail. To use it the runway needs to have a runway arresting system available.
@@goboldwithjoeteyattariwala Lol anymore? What was the name of our aircraft carrier that these planes flew from?... Our airfields do not have arresting cables.
@@Привид_Бандери I never said the CF-18 flew from a Canadian aircraft carrier. I was simply mentioning that Canada did have an aircraft carrier -- the HMCS Bonaventure was the last one, and it decommissioned in 1970. Also, the main operating bases (Cold Lake, and Bagotville) and a number of forward operating bases (like Alert) have airfield arresting cables which are there for emergencies.
@goboldwithjoeteyattariwala Ah ok, sorry I misunderstood you. I don't think these planes are old enough for Bonnie, you think? I am perplexed as to why still lol but thanks for informing me of that. I never seen any at them airports so must be something they remove and install?
@@Привид_Бандери Haha, no worries =) The CF-18 entered service with the RCAF in the early 80s. As for the field arresting gear, they are deployed at forward operating bases as needed.
I like the ladder system that tucks under .
All I can say is God bless our country’s finest… thank you 👍
Thanks for this video - Dan is a true gentleman and generally seems like a nice guy - thanks to him for the info as well!
He is indeed a gentleman and a great ambassador on behalf of the RCAF.
Thank you for the kind comment =)
Its hard to tell in a video but when you see one of these beauties up close they are fricken huge.
You also have to check the APU exhaust port! Make sure there aren't any gerbils up there...
Awesome ! 😎👍🏾
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it. There will be more to come!
Dan,
that was awesome.. I am curious, makes me want to pull up my thermo-fluid systems design class notes.. because I would review how a jet engine works. I don't know how, but I am getting myself in one, come hell or high water!

Joetey, are you at the flying club east of the high, going from surrey to white rock? was it highway 15? I knew someone who went to the school..

He would go Johnny wad in an F-15 E or an F-18 Super Hornet. Did I mention a Mig-29s..1980's is supposed to stay back there.
CAF is top notch. Wish we had kept the Avro Arrow.
1:36 anyone know what that light looking thing is?
You answered your own question 🙂 It's a night identification spotlight. I don't think it's used much now as the jets carry the Sniper targeting pod.
they actually have one that works? wow

Now why the fk would a Canadian CF/18 have a tail hook? We don't even have a navy anymore, much less a a/c carrier to land on. 😂😂😂😂

spindless lapdog of USA, no matter what kind of plane u fly.
You mean spineless ? If you try to say something, at least spell and say it right 🤡😂😅
