For those interested in becoming an Air Force pilot, and even flying the V-22 Osprey yourself, one of the best routes you can take is to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy. It's a 4-year tuition free university that graduates the most amount of pilots every year. I'm so excited to announce the release of my online course called The Air Force Academy Blueprint! I cover everything you need to do to prepare, apply, and survive the Air Force Academy. You'll have access to over 60+ video lessons, downloadable resources and checklists, access to a private community of other applicants, and so much more. Sign up here: www.academyblueprint.com/
I'm really interested in trying to be an airforce pilot but I can't put my parents through having another kid in the military.
I flew for 6 years in the air force as a loadmaster. This is one of the best videos I have ever seen in regards to showing a full mission from first getting your equipment from AFE, going to the Crew Briefing, stepping to the aircraft, even seeing a little Maintenace out there and showing the different aspects of flying from low level to a Halo jump all with comms and nice commentary. AMAZING!!
Thanks so much!
Agreed ,it was Tight from, start to finish 💯👍🇺🇲✌️
That maintainer was me 😂
I'm a retired MV-22 Crewchief and that's better mission package footage than anything I've seen put out for us. It's always so poorly edited and shows the same stuff over and over.
Great vid.
i hope to get loadmaster in the airforce when and if i join
Continuing on the Special forces theme and doing a video with the 160th SOAR (Night Stalkers) would be epic. The Little Bird is such a cool helicopter.
Keysysuwgwwv🎉😂😂❤😅🎉😮🎉😅❤😊
I think the Ah-6J is one of if not the best helicopter, small to fit in tight spaces, fast, highly maneuverable, and can be fitted with Miniguns, ATGMS and rocket pods. Super cool little helicopter
I dont know if he does videos with army though
That's what I'm saying
I loved doing Little Birds on MC-130H Combat Talon IIs! Had a few kick ass missions with the 160th, and they could always hit the drouge on TAR, unlike the CV-22s😂
My condolences to the 3 marines killed today here in Australia. I saw this aircraft last week at the Gold Coast Air Show. 100s thousands of people watch their performance.
Sad reality of military aviation. You can only learn from the incidents and try to not let them repeat.
hate to say this but another one went down in japan and we lost a Marine (1/8)
@@gameelthesecond1218 Do you track each and every Black Hawk crash as well?
Another group just died in Japanese waters
@@sydwelglobal1439 still statistically safer than the majority of aircraft the navy flies.
I’m a Crew Chief at Cannon, special thanks to our Maintainers for keeping these incredible machines flying! ;) Definitely not an easy task, trust me :)
thanks to y’all for keeping the lost dangerous air craft flying. these things are dangerous as shit
Wrong

@@clemson1013guess you was right!!!
So stoked to see this come out! This one and the new helicopter one have been my favorite so far.
Thanks David!
@@SamEckholm did you try to make a video about a warship
I was a crewchief on ospreys for 4 years. I still dream about flying, comms, and all the cool stuff I did. sweet video man.
I was your crew chief that day, that’s me at 6:00 pushing the fire bottle and doing the preflight walk around, my parents were super proud to see me in the video
No way! Glad this video made it to you. Appreciate you helping launch us out. 🙌🏼
Damm...I'm 62 years old but after watching your video I'm ready to enlist! Great Job Sam and to all your air crew mates that made it happen🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yep, Are you married ??😮
I remember when this thing debuted and everyone said how ugly and stupid it was. I've loved it from the very start. It's so unique, and extremely overpowered to be able to get in and out FAST and easy. Nape of the Earth flying looks like a ton of fun, but spectating and doing. Amazing opportunity. Thanks for taking us along. My favorite photos from troops on deployment are almost always the ones out the side or back of aircraft. That tail spot would be so cool to just chill in and watch the landscapes go by.
It looks so sci fi and cool as well.
It’s ugly and dangerous. A few died in Australia today.
Its stupid and ppl died in japan today
Incredible as always. Great support of the United States Air Force - and an excellent tribute to all of the hard work and training.Thank you Sam!
Quite possibly the most fun I've ever had filming a video. What should I film next?
Ah 64 Apache
C-17 Globemaster III
do you fly?
Black/pave hawk :)
Wow
First knew about this aircraft back in 2007 when the first Transformers movie came out and was amazed by how cool it looked! Now looking at the entire operation from this video is just so cool!
I have always been so fascinated by this incredible flying machine it’s truly amazing ! Thanks for putting this together for us Sam.
It's killed a lot of soldiers...
@@paulschab8152 so have a lot of things, gonna keep complaining?
@@lukereyes6266 It's not really complaining, the Osprey is really the most unreliable and dangerous rotary the military has in service.
@@NotJustAnotherAverageJoe then why is it still used💀💀💀
@@lukereyes6266 Because it's actually very reliable and the training of personnel and manufacturing of replacement parts has caught up to the technology. Don't believe the media hype from 20 years ago. It's not as nice as the CH-53K but it's still the best at it's mission roles.
I was lucky enough to get a short ride-along in the back of one of HMX-1's Ospreys after one of their changes of command, was an absolute blast. Seeing the earth rapidly zoom out from the bay door when the pilot pulled the stick back and punched it was like nothing else. Great video, thanks for reminding me of the experience.
Amazing video as always. Hearing you talk about the wind from the Osprey reminded me of the wind from a MH-60 Jayhawk. It also produces hurricane force winds and when you are floating in the water it can be overwhelming.
When the Osprey was first being flown and wasn't really known about yet I was lucky enough to be at Amarillo,TX Airport and see them! It was a sound I had never heard and so unique, I knew it had to be something special. When they came around the hangers onto the taxiway, I was awestruck! What an amazing Aircraft and definitely was happy to be able to see this marvel take off and land...
This looks like an awesome plane and this should be an EPIC VIDEO SAM! I cannot wait to see it! 👍✈️😎
I was part of some of the first USMC Osprey operations in 2009 in Afghanistan... I think those larger rotors result in less violent downwash... we had big boys with full armor and ammo get fully chucked into the air while holding an M240... You got it pretty easy from what I saw- you sayed feed on ground.
I’m a machinist and have manufactured components for the Osprey. It’s easily the hardest components I’ve even made in my life. What an incredible piece of equipment though. 😊
Nicee! Which all parts?
Hardly the easiest, or easily the hardest? That's what she said.
I made and inspected the armor panels for the V-22 and other helicopters the amount of work that goes into every little part is insane.
@@WalrusWinkingwhy not mount the engines in the fuselage and run shafts to the wing tip props , instead of having all that engine weight way out on the end of the wing
Buddy is flying the Avenger 💀💀💀
I managed to squeeze it in on a break. Great video as always. Bravi to you, the film crew, the flight crews, and the special forces involved in this undertaking. I pray we never need them, but am certainly happy to have them at the ready these days.
Thanks for watching!
Another amazing video. I really enjoy these and it always looks like you are having an amazing time doing what you love. Keep up the good work
Oh my gosh! I was waiting for this video for so long!!! Thank you Sam Eckholm!
Oh my gosh , what an experience for me -- that Osprey is really unbelievable -- That trip was so amazing for me . Thanks Sam .
Always fantastic content from you. Thank you for your dedication to excellent work!
Incredible video! Thank you for taking us behind the scenes!
Amazing video, Sam.
Beautiful aircraft, high- paced environment, professionals at their finest.
I actually love everything about the Osprey so this footage was a royal treat for my Osprey - craving eyes!!!!.
Osprey, the Huey of the 21st Century!!!.
The Army's recently chosen our 21st century Huey. It's the Osprey's little brother - the Bell V-280 Valor
El😊
@@txtworldyuhhuhh
Great video Sam. Professional. It took a long time to develop the Osprey but it is a crucial piece of equipment for special forces, special ops, rangers and seals as well as medevac. When seconds matter in any situation this is one thing that can get the specialized staff members to the spot in a hurry to get the job done. It filled a huge void in our military's weakness.
You're spot on. That's why the Army's chosen the Osprey's little brother - the Bell V-280 Valor
Bruh that is the coolest experience one can have. Spending the day hanging out with the pilots & Special Ops and firing a 50 Cal. from a freaking plane.........dang !
Dude that was an amazing video. Loved everything about the Osprey. Such an incredible machine. Fan from Cincinnati.
Absolutely 😮
This is an amazing look into the Osprey, thank you for this amazing coverage!
I saw the Osprey irl years ago, and omg it's big! I'll never forget such a view of being so up close to this beautiful aircraft
I just caught some pictures of one yesterday, really amazing aircraft.
this is AMAZING thank you so much for giving us this kind of view!!
When I was in the AF many moons ago, I was an aerial gunner on the Pave Low (and transitioned to the Pave Hawk after the 53 was retired). When I was at Hurlburt and they were bringing these CV-22s in, first time ever in service...must have been 2005 or 2006...I got a chance to ride one. It was terrifying during certain phases of flight. I remember thinking it seemed super unstable, which was odd, because helicopters, which is what I was used to, are inherently unstable. Understand, that's not an indictment of the aircraft. At that time, there weren't many pilots with a substantial number of hours under their belt on the Osprey. It was mostly simulator time. They had installed sims at Hurlburt way before they brought the actual birds in. But there were things the simulators couldn't replicate as well back then. So a lot of things were learned on the job behind the stick of the actual aircraft in those days as pilots (who had transitioned in from other types) got a feel for the difference between the Osprey and more conventional aircraft. It's really cool to see how far the program has come.
The V-22 is an absolute amazing feat of engineering. So much went into it its design and it's an impressive machine.
It's a death trap
Amazing video, Sam.
Beautiful aircraft, high- paced environment, professionals at their finest.
I actually love everything about the Osprey so this footage was a royal treat for my Osprey - craving eyes!!!!.
Osprey...
Excellent video. Really inspiring, don’t stop making videos.
WOW the best CV-22 video ever. Since the CV-22 was conceived, I always loved this aircraft. Excellent video keep up the good work.
This was incredible, RUclips content at its absolute best, thanks for bringing such great videos.
Awesome video as always! Great work!
29 November, 2023. As of now 4 Ospreys crashed in a years time.each has had fatalities. Norway, Arizona, Australia and now Japan. Eye witness account of the latest Japan crash saw it coming down in flames.
I've just started flying the MV-22 in Microsoft Flightsim and it's a bit of a beast to get the hang of. The hardest part is slowing the damn thing down, it's so fast compared to a standard helo and learning when to transition is going to take practice. It's quite a machine.
That looks like so much fun. Great video
I am happy for you, Sam, getting this chance for a ride on such a giant aircraft !
And Thanks to all the guys, who let you `in` :)
Your a talented young man. Keep up the good work. My nephew is a retired Air Force photog and I just picked up the bug this past year myself. Shot my first Air Show featuring the Thunderbirdsa few months ago in Augusta, GA. I have a few shots I am really proud of and a bunch in the recycle bin. Hope to do it again sometime. Love your vids
Bro I love that this video releases on my birthday
So stoked to see this channel grow, great job.,.
Yeppers
Another great video with amazing cinematography
Sam, you are a rockstar! Thank you for sharing the great footage and knowledge!
Great job Sam - this was 🔥🔥🔥 on every level!!! The USAF needs to give you your own MOS - F22X Video AWESOMEness Officer !!!!
Tiltrotors and VTOLs are my favorite types of aircraft. No doubt about it.
Wow! Amazing! The closest I've gotten to even being close to one of these is seeing one flying over my house.
Very informative and cool footage!
That sound . Amazing!!
I've always loved the ospreys. The giant propellers are just so damn cool in flight.
in being a death trap?
This was sick man!! So cool.
INSANE! Awesome video!
Sam, thanks for making this video. It gives us a glimpse of what our son is doing as he is currently training to fly the Osprey. So impressed. Great job!
Amazing video, really loved it!
This channel deserves more recognition
Sam is the type of guy to have a banger vid every vid
that synced clap at 1:11 to 1:14 is crazy
Look forward to all the videos, Sam!
Saw a pair of these going to and from Patrick’s AFB a few months back. So damn cool to be in your pool and look up and see these dudes buzzing over. 😂
This looks like an awesome VTOL can't wait to see the video!!!!!
Where ya from ??🥸
Love the narration on this one!
Honestly, I’m still astounded that the Osprey exists. It isn’t just something in a video game. It’s actually real. It’s actually used. It’s so cool.
Incredible footage Sam no one else could’ve done it better👍🏻🇺🇸
Yep
Excellent video, Sam! Congratulations on your experience and praise for your production.
Awesome video again Sam.
A video I’ve always wanted :)
Love these videos!
Honestly the CV-22 is one of the most fascinating aircraft to me, and my absolute favorite non-supersonic aircraft of all time.
This is sure to be a really great video. As usual, I will have to catch it later. I wish there was a way to do multiple premieres, kind of like East and West coast movie premieres.
This guy lived my DREAM!!!
Man collabed with the air force. But only has around 350 k subs. And I can already tell by the intro that this guy deserves way more subs.
HI SAM YOU GOT A GREAT JOB!!!! AND FUN AND LEARNING .. IN THE 70S WE ONLY HAD THE C-47S , C123, AND AUH1 MEDI -VAC. ,,GREEN GIANT OR HUEYS ,, I THOUGHT THEY WERE GREAT !! I HAD GOOD TIMES AND BAD!!! NOW THE FUTURE HAS IT... THANKS,, KEEP FLYING SAVE..
Such awesome content!
Props to the cameraman on creative mode flying to capture those shots
Cool to support these as AIS, thanks for making a vid at the base!
this is epic. absolutely epic that you were able to get to them to agree to a video
David
Yess, you are best Sam👍👍👍 Arto from Finland
I only recently got obsessed with the V22. First Tom Stanton's video, then this. Great timing.
Fantastic machine, mad props
This is going to be a banger!
These were my all-time favorite means of travel when I was in the Corps.
Just found your channel & I gotta say you have one of the coolest jobs. Mad jealous
Wow, this is really like the Pelican from Halo
I'm incredibly jealous!
Really enjoyed this video! I am lucky enough to be able to catch Osprey along the Gulf Coast when we travel to Destin, Florida in the Summertime. Eglund AFB is right there. Epic!
looks awesome!
The Marines, from New River, run night low levels over my house, which is always loud but awesome.
Absolutely amazing!
as a former pilot of Avenger in GTA 5, i can say this thing is absoloute beast!
but deadly
Many years ago SPEC OPS in the USA asked marine to move Spec guys to Africa. The mv22 ospreys loaded up flew to Africa on the way refueled in air. They conducted the rescue mission flew back. Before ospreys think how many planes, personal sooo many but cut all that out with mv22, I also live beside Quantico Marine Base you can hear helicopters long before you see them the mv22 they flying over when you hear.
Daaammmnn those blades were so near to cockpit 😱😱
This is the most badass looking aircraft. Looks way better in the helicopter formation tbh.
Awesomeeeeeee the quality of this video is amazing
Thanks for watching!
