- This footage shows an ultra low-level flying of F-16 from Misawa Air Base, which is around 400 miles north of Tokyo on the Japanese island of Honshu.
Military pilots continue to receive a lot of training in low-level flying. Fighter jocks continue to train at low altitudes even though the majority of current war scenarios take place at higher altitudes in order to sneak up on heavily guarded targets and elude areas covered by sophisticated air defense networks.
While stand-off weaponry and electronic countermeasures are helpful, pilots' ability to place bombs on target and survive to fight another day may also depend on their proficiency in low-level combat situations around the globe.
I'd imagine the world feels so much smaller when our usually static frames of reference like clouds, mountains and the horizon itself can be explored within a matter of seconds like this.
@@atharvsardesai4369 It's so crazy because you get a sense of that scale in video games when you fly, but because so few of us have ever physically experienced it, one might figure that it's just the video game that feels off and it isn't a good representation of reality.
I still haven't flown in a fighter jet, so I could never say that I know now, but the feeling of scale watching a cockpit POV video is so similar.
Fighter Jet Pilots get in the Cloud formations, Using the Cloud as a Mountain, and Avoid going into them clouds.... Never know what could be hidden in the clouds... So if they hit the cloud, at least it wasn't a Mountain side... Especially when it is Really Storming... and Huge Cloud Formations....
Until you have to eject and you suddenly have to do tens of kilometers by foots
This has to be one of the best fighter jet cockpit view flight videos on UA-cam. Thank you for sharing. I would like to see you do a video of a long distance flight in the cockpit view of a fighter jet, from New York to Los Angeles. That would be awesome. We need videos like that. Please make it happen. Thank you.
There are a few other good ones, F-16 and Navy/Marine Corps F/A-18. In the F-18 low-level vid, he hotrods it a bit and rolls inverted over a lot of the mountain crossings. I used to fly the low-level routes near Big Bend National Park, Texas - canyons, desert, some flat terrain. We would run them at 360KIAS and 420KIAS, but I believe in the F-16 and F/A-18 vids they are running them at 480KIAS or thereabouts.
fr8fr6dr a little late but what did you fly?
@@tijmenvrijburg8682 I have never flown a plane. I just like watching videos of flying. I wish I knew how to fly one though.
I agree that this is one of the best fighter jet cockpit view videos on YT. I watched it again and again, it is still awesome.
@@fr8fr6dr69what did you fly?
Awesome,, i could watch that for hours, it's so comforting. Thx
I thought I was the only one who thought this was comforting :)
One of the best Vids out there. No silly music. Just a great ride. Thank you.
Wow, thanks!
Well put!
This is an astounding film. We see a lot of this here in the UK, mainly RAF Typhoons and USAFE F 15s ,with the odd C17 down in the weeds as well. I just love the bit where he or she flies between the windmills! Hope the pilot’s mother doesn’t watch this.....
Back in 2013 my son and I did centrifuge testing for Virgin galactic at NayStar in bucks county PA.
I now have a real appreciation for you guys and what they have to put up with when flying! Especially an F 16
I would love to go for a ride in one...
Parts of this look uncomfortably similar to me doing low levels in Falcon 4.0, right before I crash.
I’m assuming one of those parts would be @6:23
10:22 starts a good continuous 60 second canyon run.
I love this...always wanted to fly an F-16...this is the closest I'm gonna get but it gives you the experience!..
What a beautiful morning flight! Not a bad way to start your day

Best fighter jet video on UA-cam
I did this as a passenger in a T-6 Texan at just 4 G, and that was enough for me. Kudos to this pilot.
Some of that was actually pretty scary. Really cool though.
Beautiful landscape & impressive flying.
Wonderful video, the skill level & temperant that these pilots have is incredible. I would have vomited several times. if i was in the cockpit.
Thanks, pilot,
Wow that was fairly realistic, Playstation is getting better and better.
Man, I wish this video was in 6-fps so we could feel the speed even more.
If you slow this video down to .25 speed, this is what it would kind of look like on final approach to runway 35 at Danbury Conn. airport in a general aviation airplane. At about 600 ft. AGL you can look up at the mountain peaks on final at Danbury. In the winter you will even have the snow, like this. Beautiful.
Somehow i get all stressed out, by watching this, and i imagine the pilot do the same. Great footage. Cheers from Denmark
Imagine how slow driving a car would feel after this? 😂
Man, this is quite some scary stuff! Incredible! 😱😵😲😁
Nice but would have been way better with report of altitude, speed and G-Force at the bottom of the screen.
Amazing!!! That has got to be So Fun!!! Good Pilot Tuan!!!
This IS badass!
Definitely gotta have that time to die chart at this altitude; top notch👍🏻
Absolutely beautiful
Great Job!!!
Very cool video!
I Enjoyed the Ride along, thanks
He was going so damn fast almost the entire flight. He had to of been pushing mach .99 in parts of this. Absolutely incredible video
Angels on our shoulders
Imagine going back in time with an F-16 and rockin full afterberner between the Great Pyramids in Egypt as they were just being finished...those people would have had their minds blown on a level no human has ever experienced.
There are actually drawings and carvings in Egypt that depict fly crafts and look exactly like modern aircrafts I don't think they'd be as shocked as you think. The advancement those people made were incredible. I think there's more to our ancestors that people aren't telling us. I mean imagine building those pyramids in 20 years, unbelievable. Baffling.
Wow & Yikes! Insane and Very Cool! 😎😳😎
OUTSTANDING
Awesome is all i can say.😊
Que relajante!!!!
"From the cockpit of an f-16 cockpit" lol
Great sim
Stuff like this makes me think "huh we really live on a bigass planet huh
DCS gets better every year!
So awesome. Wondering if the pilot is wondering if people are freakin out when they see him!?
That thing so sick dude
Would have been good to show the speed and altitude as well
Exactly what I'm thinking
Speed = fast
Altitude = low
I hate my job and had the worst day.. said no pilot, ever.
Deadly!
Badass!
Cool
"From the cockpit of an F16 cockpit"? Surprised that title has lasted 5 years..
So very awesome! Thank you for posting - happy flying + Merry Christmas (Dec. 22, 2023) & Cheers from Seattle, USA 🍻
It would be a dream come true to ride in an F-16
You really have to be fearless to do this job. Me for example would have my eyes closed the whole time and maybe even a skid mark or two.😂
That was quite good actually.
Gear up....and cruising altitude.
I liked my time in helo's, but you guys have GOT to have hardons ALL the time!!!! What a gas!
That First Low alt flight was quiet fast how many knots where you going over that Lake?
Watching it fly through the wind farm reminded me of Windy Miller. If you’re not British and half a century old, google it. Lol
Is this and IR route you’re following or just randomly flying around? Such a cool video. Freaking same height as windmills!
until you have done this, you just dont understand--- sigh-- getting old sucks
I wonder what would happen if you hit a DJI mavic full on at that speed...
Really great video! Where was this taken Cascades?
I'm not a pilot but when you're below the tops of the windmills you're pretty low😂
So when your that low and there is snowing on the ground it's your shockwave kicking up white clouds?
Thanks for the ride can I buy you a beer?
Sooo sick... When you're pushing right to go left, your inverted 😮😂
in the time it took to watch this video, at a lesurly 450kn, he'd have travelled 208.35 km
this new GTA looks lit
Holy hell I want to fly so bad.
i have been trying to google if we can buy these jets is it possible?
This is called NOE or Nap Of the Earth flying. There are three skill levels trained: flying at 500 feet AGL, 300 AGL, and finally 100 AGL. (Above Ground Level) This flight looks to be at the 100 foot AGL. And, of course, some pilots have been known to intentionally drift below that 100 foot AGL mark intentionally (or unintentionally). Aside from a CFIT (Controlled Flight Into Terrain), one of the prominent features of NOE is the heavy turbulence often encountered due to the surface winds not being consistent. This Viper had very little turbulence which I find remarkable especially at just 100 feet above the trees in places.
Cold stable airmass in winter late in day, little convective movement, light or no wind.
Takes skill to fly into the sun and still avoid all of those transmission towers/lines and splitting wind turbines.
Literally between the windmills
Dang, sick graphics
If you can’t tell, this is a joke
Watched this video on Christmas, surrounded by family, and wearing my new sweatpants. SO EMBARRISSING!!!
That job
the real top gun
Next time do it in daylight!
to think they do this at nighttime with night vision goggles. blows the mind
is this sped up?
KNOW WE’RE HAVING FUN!
Note: enjoying the fruits of our labors!
Do you think the world looks flat when you watch it from here?
When I was out camping in southern Oregon by Klamath Falls a fighter jet blew by at low altitude and scared the hell out of my friend and I we laughed at each other. I didn’t even have a chance to see what type of jet it was because it was gone before we even looked up.
Que agradable, alli arriba no te infraccionan por exeso de velocidad
This is more or less the crusing speed of a commercial airliner at crusing altitude
I think the Pilot is just riding his luck !! ;)
this video shows what pilots can do. 😊 waanna go some hide and seek with F-16 😆👀👻
Is the sun rising or setting?
Damm it! That's low as you can go, is it about 200ft?
flying over the water that low... you are just asking for a bird strike.....
Looks easy. Where can I apply ?
I'm a suicidal fighter jet please fly me into the ground. No I'm not suicidal it's a joke.
Were you using the rudders when flying through the valleys?
of course he is using the rudder to balance the yaw of the plane when swerving
@@silviutudorescu8114 ah yes, because he's flying fast and flying smooth its not obvious to an untrained eye, in flight sims its a lot more easy to see
1. My favorite part is when the pilot comes out of the Canyon and on to the Lake(?)
2. I totally muted the video and had "Mighty Wings" from the Top Gun Soundtrack blasting.
You ruined it by spamming your logo every 30 seconds and cutting the mountain top rollovers.
It’s a video game
I'm surprised that they chose to fly such terrain-hugging practice right into that low angle glare nearly the entire time. Perhaps that was the point??
How fast is it? (kmh)
Can just do like most UA-cam channels and only include metric or Imperial and if you as for both your made out to be an idiot.
Imagine living there at 5:45 🥰 omg that wouldbe awesome
Why not with an X-15 at top speed? :P
At that height above towns you're likely to smack into some kid's drone .. or a bird.
Talk to me Goose
This is flying in Japan I believe. Northern Honshu
Amazing footage
Would love a ride 👍
Lol not happening 😢😂
Heh, heh...Wake everybody up!
