I raise you Iuri Gagarin, being the first human to get strapped to a huge rocket and being flown into space, that was the most badass thing any human ever did.
It badass until you hit a turn pulling 5Gs. It feels like 10 fat chics piled on you over and over. I HAVE 1ST HAND KNOWLEDGE ✋️; F-16B 2x -- cool schitt. I was tired AF afterward. Much respect to these guys (...and thicc chics) 👀
I have so much respect for those fighter pilots. They are on the cutting edge of technology and are flying a machine few people will ever experience. My hat off to you sir".
I am very proud to have been a flight deck troubleshooter in 2 fighter squadrons on 4 ships in 4 years. (4 trips to Top Gun). Crazy as all that was, my next assignment was in a boat unit. A pretty crazy naval career! I worked with an E-8 who had all his fingers cut off when they rotated the flaps. Luckily they were all reattached. What a world!
The f-18 hornet has an auto rotate feature that automatically pulls the nose up after launch. That's why their right hand is off the flight controls during the catapult shot.
Hey there John, you seem to have some knowledge about what I’m asking ; here’s my question, during high speed turns wouldn’t your hand on the joystick be affected by the high g-forces ? I’m jus’ askin’ !
@@iRossco ok Roscoe, you mean it adversely affects the control of the jet, why don’t they use steering controls like a passenger plane ? Again I’m jus’ askin’ ! ✌️
I've thought that for a long time. If I could get a do over on my career and have any job in the world I would choose to be a fighter jet pilot for the U.S. Air force or Navy. If I could get specific I would choose to be a F22 pilot.
By far and away. They're on another level, and no matter your profession or income, you immediately respect a fighter jet pilot no matter no questions ask. And talk about a great pickup line. Imagine her boyfriend working in some cubicle.
@@vieques6588 I've thought about that in the past when I've been at computer all day but can always get up & stretch my legs, go toilet, get a glass of water etc. I don't know how they do it must be so boring for many of those hours especially at altitude with nothing happening.
There's a state-of-the-art robot camera on the canopy glass. It has little tank treads with suction cups and rolls along the canopy. They had to develop special suction cups that could adhere to the canopy during catapult launches. The Navy spent millions developing it so fighter pilots could compete with all the SEALs who have youtube channels.
From reading thousands of comments about Air Force jobs, it does seem to be one of the coolest ones out there, but only for a fraction of time.

You also have to give away any semblance of personal life in order to reach that status. It's the biggest sacrifice on your social and physical health and in return you only get a thrill that's like drugs, eventually it stops feeling as intense as it did the first time. While I'm also jealous of not making that sacrifice, I have a wife I love and an easy job/life and I know I wouldn't have had either of those if I pursued being an airforce pilot. Might still consider being a civilian pilot but even that strips away your possibility of having a normal relationship because you're away all the time.
There’s literally a Disney ride (Rock n roller coaster at Disney Hollywood) that has a launch that does 5g! And it ain’t even in the top 20 fastest launches! Idk if theres any other factors because the fastest accelerating coaster (Dododonpa 0-120 in 1.6) has only 4.7 Gs. And that’s also faster than this launch!

Interesting his hand is NOT on the stick untill he's actually launched.
To avoid him making a mistake.
So he's not pulling back on the stick when going through the launch Gs
His hand doesn’t need to be there because the takeoff trim of the hornet basically pulls back for you
If he doesn't have a hand on the bars attached, the the canopy, he will be launched forward in his cockpit due to the g forces of the cat shot
@cheeezs I would think it pushes you back if your jet is being launched forward.
Cue the music……”Revin’ up the engines. Listen to their howling roar……”
He was adjusting his seat 💺 lol
As a dcs pilot I can verify that he did everything correct.
I'd hope he did it better than a DCS player 💀
