    This video was the opportunity of a lifetime. When asked if I wanted to fly in an F-16, I said "Yes please, and there are some things I'd like to study. Can we try supersonic flight at different altitudes?" I'm very grateful for this opportunity and would like to thank Flack and the rest of the US Air Force Thunderbirds. This flight took place on May 3rd, 2019. This Spatial Disorientation training is something all fighter pilots go through so they can understand how their own physiology works under these conditions.
    Thank you for watching and learning with me. I always wanted to know what happened in the cockpit when a jet goes supersonic. If you think this kind of content is worthy of your support, you can become a patron at: www.patreon.com/smartereveryday

But by shear coincidence, your video gave me a great explanation of what's happening in my inner ear as I have Vertigo....RIGHT NOW. So THANK YOU...for all of it.

      I feel like the video itself was really well paced in showing the confrontation between your confidence and your humility. I'm glad you got such a humbling experience, and I hope it only serves to help you chase your dreams even harder. In regards to the airforce, it is not an easy thing to do. I think you know this better than most people, especially in these trying times. There is a lot of bad and good to what the u.s. does, the air force being one of it's crown center pieces in it's many activities. It's a controversial thing to be sure for some people, including myself, but I just wanted you to also know that I don't think anyone can take your recommendation as paid for or insincere or not thought through. You got to experience the best of this country and the very human lives involved. It is only natural that you would wish for others to be full of good people steering us towards good causes. Thanks again for the awesome videos. At least for me it's always refreshing to see the positive side of things every now and then.

    Thank you for posting this, and putting so much detail into it. My Dad flew P-47 Thunderbolts over Europe in 1944 and we heard lots of flight stories growing up. Even though he passed in 1999, he was in the room with me the whole time I was watching, grinning like a Cheshire cat. He did actually hit compressability once, and could only use the trim tabs to pull out. His wing-man brute forced the pullout and popped half the rivets on the aluminum wing covering. On a different note, thank for years of great engaging material. I home schooled my younger son through the seventh grade (he is now 21), and science class consisted of him pulling his favorite Smarter Every Day posts (and the Slow Mo Guys) and we would discuss them. Keep up the great work!!

Best explanation I’ve ever heard on what a fighter pilot endures. My Uncle flew a P47 over Germany in WWII and I have even more respect for him now. In an odd way, your video helped me realize the incredible violence he went through when he was shot down and crash landed in a field. And survived the rest of the war in Stalag Luft 1. And now a jet jock does 9g’s while fighting a war. Unreal!

    Here is a portion of the email regarding the hydration:
    "Now, some things to keep in mind to make your flight as enjoyable as possible:
    There are a few things you can do to minimize the possibility of you being airsick during your flight - Hydrate, sleep and eat. Starting right NOW -- hydrate. Drink more water than you normally do… then drink some more. Hydration combats motion sickness, so this step is key. Please do this only until the evening to avoid the need to use the restroom every few hours during the night, as sleep is important as well. Try to get a good night's rest -- at least 7 hours if possible. The day of your flight, we want you to have food in your stomach, but nothing greasy and nothing spicy. I'd recommend fruit, bread, bagels, oatmeal, light sandwiches, or (my personal favorite) peanut butter and banana toast. Please also bring some kind of light snack in case your flight is delayed. The day of the flight, minimize caffeine and carbonation. Both are diuretics and will counteract your hydration efforts."

I once asked him, what what the fastest speed he had went... he said 2.4 Mach. To his description, it melted the paint off of his viper. He was delivering F-16's to Singapore on that venture. Such a cool video. Thank you for this.

I think experience and practice could get him up to where he can still think at that g load. Of course, I don't know what the USAF rules for fighter pilots are, but somehow I doubt they require the base level to be 9 gs.

    I love the "moral of the story" at about 28:00- it's like Dunning-Kreuger tunneling. Humbling experiences like this let you tunnel through the Mount Ignorance peak of DK, and get on to the "wow, I've got a lot to learn" phase. And the key is realizing it wasn't just "this one thing"- pretty much learning anything is best approached by throwing ego out, and starting at the Valley of Despair, as long as you have the fortitude to apply yourself to learning.

      The F-16 is a particularly interesting case of this, because the stick is force-sensitive. In fact, the original design had the stick not move at all. It simply didn't need to; with this design, the movement isn't what determines how much the controls respond. However, that was uncomfortable and hard to adapt to for pilots. So instead, they gave the stick the small amount of 'play' you can see in the video.

    That pilot seems like a good guy, I like the fact that he didn’t shame you, or make fun of you not being able to take the 9gs. That was really awesome of him. I also really love your honesty, and I sincerely respect you for knowing your limits, and not doing the 9gs just to please your audience. That is truly respectable, a lot of people would do it anyway even if they didn’t feel they could handle it, and they’d pass out, and possibly injure themselves as a result. Don’t beat yourself up for not going for the 9gs, you did the right thing, and I for one respect you for it, Destin.

      In the Netherlands, 1 out of 1000 applications for flying jet fighters makes it to becoming a pilot. They have physical tests, mental tests, psych eval and so on. I am pretty sure someone that would make fun out of someone for not being able to handle this will not make it as a jet fighter pilot *ever*. Pretty certain that type of person is not what they are looking for in a pilot.
