As far as masculine jobs go, few can compete with being a fighter jet test pilot. Other gigs, like oil rigging and crab fishing, have definite risks, but most jobs don't require you to willingly come as close to death as possible in order to make sure that your equipment is working the way it should.
And yet, that's exactly what Billie Flynn has been doing with a smile for over a decade as a test pilot for Lockheed Martin's F-35 fighter jets. Prior to that, this career pilot flew with the Canadian Armed forces for 23 years. And yet, despite being confronted with the very real possibility of death countless times, Flynn was unbelievably laid-back and upbeat when we talked with him.
It must be the training these guys go through that gives them this cool confidence. Test pilots require an intimate, exhaustive knowledge of the planes they fly, both as a means of diminishing the chance of crashing, but also to be able to identify any minor hiccups that need to be addressed before the planes can be deployed in missions. The brave pilots who take on this challenge need to know how to keep cool under pressure. Flynn admits to being in several chaotic close calls, but seems unfazed by it. If anything, his love of flying gives him the courage to keep climbing back in the cockpit of untested fighter jets.
And it's a good thing there are people brave enough to do this job, since computer simulations alone can't rule out every possible malfunction that could occur with a multi-million-dollar jet.
So year after year, flight after flight, Flynn puts his mind and body through the unimaginable stress of oppressive G forces and the pressure of making it to the edge of what's possible before returning safely home, eager for the next test flight.
It just goes to show, there are people who like to think of themselves as "adrenaline junkies" because they completed a Tough Mudder or jumped out of an airplane -- and then there are guys like Billie Flynn.

I think he is French Canadian pilot from Quebec Canada
He is flying my dreamjet.. -.-' i will pray tonight
Did you end up?
The last manned fighter platform for the USA. Humans limit fighter aircraft at this point in time.
I just realized his name is Billie Flynn. Ironic since that's one of the main characters in the Musical "Chicago." :)
He did win top gun trophy or it was another Canadian pilot
Canada's fighter pilots are some of the best there always with USA on air strikes and training they did lots of bombing runs in Iraq and Afghanistan with American pilots they train together and were with them in ww2 and Iraq and Afghanistan like I said where lucky to have such good experienced fighter pilots on both sides peace

Sepecialist test pilot makes $154,106?? That is alot of money!!!
Doesn't appear all that much to me. Many senior professionals easily make more than that.
Was my dream since I was a child, when the time came to make it true, racism happened and came in the way!
Lol the us air force is not racist they're not gonna not hire you cause of the color of your skin, you're an idiot. obviously you didnt get hired because you didnt meet the standards
Amr Yasin how am I suppose to know youre not american, youre watching an american video and youre acting like youre mad at them in the video, and yes they do hire non americans once you have been living in the country for 5 plus years. Im not american so you can call me and american piece of shit all you want lol
Amr Yasin you're a joke, you have no idea what you're talking about..... I know Canadians that serve in the us military so your arguments are invalid. anyone that wasnt born in the usa can be in the military as long as you are a US citizen. So yes, I am being judgmental because you clearly don't know anything
Brett Mc I know more than you think, and I experienced shit more than you would understand, you see politics is more complex for some people, somethings are not easy as they seem but anyway have a nice life :)
Amr Yasin you're not in the military and I am so I doubt you've seen more fucked up shit than me. How can you bring politics into this conversation, it has nothing to do with politics or the colour of your skin or where you're from. you're pathetic, stop playing the blame game, you're a grown man not a child
Dude is an annoying mix of Minnesota and California.
He's Canadian, ya dingus. You wish you were as cool as him!
He speaks as if he is gay
Lol
