How Fighter Pilots Train To Fly The Marine Corps’ F-35B | Boot Camp
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 апр 2021
- With a price tag of just over $100 million, the F-35B from Lockheed Martin is equipped with the most powerful engine of any jet in the world, as well as the most advanced sensor suite of any fighter jet in history. The Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, South Carolina, is the sole location for the training required to fly this unique plane. This training is focused on teaching pilots how to perform short-distance takeoffs and how to land the plane vertically like a helicopter. Pilots also learn to master technology and utilize gear unique to the jet. In March, Insider was granted exclusive access to the Air Station, where we observed these pilots in training.

That one just being like "you just press a button”
well STOVAL mode in the Harriers were a complex process and why 1/3 of all harriers built crashed. This switches modes on auto for them to make it easier.

I am jealous of these pilots. I would love to fly jets as a job.
Enlist then
@@lvdp1710 not that easy bud
Wars may occur
You can’t “enlist” to be a pilot. I’m not sure if it’s the same for the navy and marine but I do know in the Air Force, you need to have a college degree and attend office training school to be a pilot
That's the shitty part. They may ask you to actually fight -_-
Me: “Wow they must have to do a lot since they are by themselves”
Them: “Literally just press a button bro”
Yeah but even the Marine Corps makes pushing a button hard.
By automating everything they are eliminating the weakest link which is the requirement for skilled pilots. You can churn out planes by the dozen but you need capable pilots.
Toilet Paper Merchant
you do realise how difficult the transformation process is? Having that manually done is asking for trouble, and just coz there are more complex tasks automated doesn’t reduce the quality of pilot, it’s there to make the job easier on them so that they can shift their focus onto other more important things, if anything this allows there to be more skilled pilots in the seat
Best part is when they say most powerful engine like the SR71 never happened or even the F22 which has better everything
@@toiletpapermerchant9310 Nah, pilots still need to be incredibly skilled. Skilled pilots + automated systems = perfect piloting. Skilled pilots on their own = good but unreliable piloting, and automated systems on their own = reliable but imperfect piloting
These aircraft are brilliant. I have a friend in the RAF who was lucky enough to be one of the first British pilots to fly the F35. He said it’s the most advanced aircraft he’s ever flown.
@Stealthmann 1. It's very maneuverable
2. you don't need maneuverability when all your engagements are BVR
@Stealthmann i think it's bvr heavy.
@Stealthmann look someone who thinks they know what they are talking about apparently you musy have been a fighter pilot to have an opinion on a jets capability (sarcasm)
@@uwannakatana3990 I love seeing these American boot lickers praising the f-35 despite losing 1.4 trillion dollars. The f-35 has experienced many failures in systems and has caused many problems with the military and congress. Some many argue it's still being experimented with and it's still experimental but the su-57 is still an experimental aircraft and people are calling it the blunder of the century. Just because you're some hyper patriot doesn't mean you can spew western propaganda
@@uwannakatana3990 how many bets you're going to call me a slavaboo lmao
Finally i have got to see the faces of the pilots maneuvering this beast. U have my dream career boys. Don't waste the excitement while u still has it.
My favorite fighter is the F 22 Raptors I saw one in real life doing maneuver and flying low, I was blown away, the sound of those two engines and the moves it makes
These boot camp videos have gotten me through the quarantine
Couldn’t be more true

Fr I may change my goal to become a deputy sheriff to join the military 😂😂
THEM:“People just don’t understand how difficult to become a pilot”
ALSO THEM:”yeah just press a button and your plane takes off”
You put in the work to become a pilot before you get to where you're flying an F35. I can speak from experience as I'm going through it now. You need to know how to do everything in the scenario that the "button" does not work
@@SpongebobSoundByte well no shit. I mean you obviously don’t just press a button and land without prior knowledge, it’s called a joke
oo oo ah ah
Becoming a pilot and being a pilot is a totally different task
so rehearsed, you have "muscle memory"
Thanks from the bottom of my heart to all the brave men, and women who serve with great dignity in all the branches. God bless!!!
This guy is the REAL Top Gun ... a born pilot ... piloting is in his vein.
I wish him the very best indeed.
That man has some serious balls and piloting in his main vein...
Doug: THIS is the Lockheed Martin F-35b and today I will show you all its quirks and features but first check out CAAAAARS AND BIIIIIIIDS!!
Lmao

This is going to be a cooled, cupholder in the production model.
Cargo space is massive, but there's a catch. You have 2 large weapon bays, which can fit 1 AMRAAM and 1 Paveway guided bomb each; Your max. payload is an ample 2,600kg. However, the mounts only support weapons, which you will likely be throwing out of the compartments the moment you come across that one crazy neighbor.
Love the inside joke here 🤣
While these people have been flying fighter jets during quarantine, I have been flying through RUclips watching Insider videos.
lmaooo
Lol can relate,
quarantine? How long have you been shut up in your apartment?
you're still on lockdown/quarantine? in April '21?
May 7th still in quarantine still have curfew
That is valuable training and the aircraft is so full of modern technology which makes their job easier as the pilot controls the aircraft. If I was a ground troop and was in need of help and seeing this airplane coming to your assistance would be so helpful until other help can arrive.
Come to Beaufort SC to see them training. You can’t miss them, the noise is deafening but as they say, it is “the sound of freedom”
Amazing technology! You must be fit & well-trained to withstand those G forces & keep flying 😮🚀
Semper Fi Marines
Wishing you all the best in your career.
3:25 "we're replacing all the harriers, hornets and prowlers with it" Breaks my heart to hear that, I was an an avionics tech on all 3.
Gonna be sad when all the hornets are gone :(
The STOVL technology is amazing. I wonder if there’s been any technical issues with the vertical landing system or trying to decelerate and stop midair yet
.
fuel efficiency
Excess weight and decreased payload and fuel capacity.
Designing a bladed disk that can cope with a 250kt crosswind took some of the smartest people in British aviation over a decade to figure out. The Rolls-Royce LiftFan is 👌

@Business Insider god another fake bot.
Don’t go to that WhatsApp. It’s probably gonna be a scam.
This is such an American comment
8:50 God bless the engineers. This technology can definitely be carried down towards commercial use for VR
I just downloaded the F35 in Flight Sim 2020 and I know it's only a computer sim, but it gives you the flavor of how it's operated and how complex it is. Very impressive. The power available from just one engine is incredible. Just flying, navigating and landing takes all my concentration. That doesn't include radar, weapons, chaff, flares, communicating with others, etc.
Love the fact that this guy makes it seem like anyone can fly it with a press of a button at 3:39
Ignoring the scammer right above me (it appears he got removed) take off pretty much is automated as well as landing it's one of the big improvements over the Harrier
Flying the plane isn't a big deal. Like they say, it's absorbing and utilizing the mountain of data the plane throws at you.
This pilot may says he just pushes a button, but he not telling you about the 100 decisions a minute he needs to make on any sortie and in the battle field if any one of those decisions were wrong it could result in serious consequences including death. Fifth Gen fighters is about creating an integrated battle field, linking all the assets together. The more automated and easy they can make the aircraft, the more the pilot can focus on his job which is to destroy enemy assets. In flight school the easy part is learning to fly the plane, most people could do that, the hard part is using the plane as a weapon and that's why its so hard to make the cut as a fighter pilot and why they put so much pressure on during training, even cutting good pilots, that don-t respond to the pressure. They don't want pilots to fly the plane they want a person who can operate an airborne weapon system under extreme condition including risk of death, while remaining calm and cognitive. Also its good to see, some of the more risky parts of a STOL aircraft is now automated, the Harrier was notoriously difficult to fly, with not a great safety record although its proved its worth in the Falkland's war.
He's only talking about one single aspect which is a VTOL landing
Remarkable jets for remarkable pilots.
We must ALWAYS give our Marines the best. My cousin, who severed in Vietnam, told me that his army unit made the decision that if they had to wait 5 min. for Air Force ground support or 20 for US Marine Corp ground support they would ALWAYS wait for Marine Corp ground support. He told me that the Air Force would fly over at the safest altitude and drop weapons in the area, they would never come low with guns. The Marine Corp however would come in at tree top and drop exactly where they were asked to and then they would loiter on station using guns until they were empty. The Marine Corp is who you want in a "Danger Close" situation.
The US Air Force is just a big flying club. If you are in the Air Force and you aren't a pilot you have to work your butt off just to keep your job. 🌭
@@jamesburns2232 Wow James that was very ignorant of you. Bravo.
I would advise you to check with soldiers and Marines from more current wars. USAF ground support has saved a boatload of groudpounders in the last few decades. Ever heard of Puff or the Warthog??? Marines operate neither.
I think this is one of the coolest and astonishing piloting. Everything about fighter planes and their attire is awesome.
I love the way, this beauty rules the sky.
That’s awesome an entire family line of pilots.. 👍
What a beautiful technology other there with the vertical landing, and of course amount of time pilots spend to learn all the stuff to defend citizens from the sky
The more I watch marines the more I profoundly fall for them. I love you so much my respect to all marines & am proud of you 🤝🤝🤝
Thank you for your support from a Force Recon Marine
@@Usmcto always welcome 👍
Imagine coming home to your son and he ask what do you do for living and you show him a picture of you next to your F-35B......life doesn't get much better than that
I see these guys all the time flying around Beaufort. They go over the Atlantic to practice.
Those back-to-back photos of father and son with their aircraft were awesome 😊👍
Really amazing technology in military aspect! 💯
The F-35 Rocks. love the advanced technology and capability this aircraft has.
Today's pilots are not just pilots, they are so many other things. I can't imagine the workload on a modern fighter even with all the computers to help. Hats off to everyone involved in this amazing plane from designers to pilots.
They are awesome. How blessed we are to have these brave men and women protecting us and flying over our skies.
That STOVL feature is totally awesome to see .
Proud to have designed their insignia and provide those patch sets when VMFAT-501 stood up and were still waiting for the planes. Looking good WARLORDS! Semper Fi!
The F-35 is really a game changer, especially safety with autoland and 'button' TO. Great progress finally.
Not really safety. its a necessity.
Its hard enough to do it properly, so its better to have the computer do it for you.
@@honkhonk8009
Yes, I know, I prefer also to use the autpilot to precisely follow the localiser and glideslope while concentrating on power and IAS during an ILS approach and waiting for visibility to appear before reaching the minimums.
But I digress, You are right, it is very difficult to even estimate vertical speed looking ouside and maintain accurate vertical position over a location without accurate cues.
No help from non existing ground effect, as present during landing a helicopter.
What I was thinking is a future adaptation to civil aviation, because there, the vast majority of accidents happen during the take off and landing phases. Automating separately a short take off, climb, and esprecially to introduce automated vertical landing is, the progress I am referring to.
Tried and proven with the F-35B, the key justification words.
That is a game changer : short runways, except for emergencies, locally better access possible, with electric, quiet vertical lift used.
that vertical landing thing is SO COOL!
You should do an Air Force academy boot camp episode
I think there is, look for it.
@Patrick Puspurs Oh yeah, you’re right, I think I’m confusing it with another channel.
My son in law was stationed at MCAS Beaufort. I was able to deep into the base with him and witness the F-35's taking off and landing. That was a good day.
I recognize the patch..and the "Delta Dart" on the tail of the planes. VMFA 451, my old squadron.
Marine Corps aviators also go through infantry training before even arriving at Flight School in Pensacola. Although unlikely, they must be capable of taking charge of an infantry platoon if necessary. Same for supply officers.
Good point. The infantry school reinforces the connection between the air and ground units. Previous helmets had a camo cover as a nod to this- maybe can't do it with new high tech helmits?
@@rumrnr78 👍 yes, that would be so like Marines! To have aviators wear camo helmets. I was ground, so i didn't know that. But the instructors always stressed that everything, every USMC asset and every Marine existed to support the infantry.
So cool wish I would have had the vision to become a pilot or the health for that matter. Awesome job, everyone I ever met who was a fighter pilot love it, had some awesome stories. Lol 😂 that is a pantry dropping job title lol
thats why you just buy a flight sim for at home
I've had about thousand hours experiences landed a F-35B it's so simple just sitting on your chair, pressing S on your keyboard and keep your mouse steady, piece a cake
I shouldn't be saying this, but I flew 15 combat missions with this jet last week alone.

Marvelous I'm very impressed 👏.
Love the Spyderco Pacific Salt! 6:48
Wow these technology's are really surprising me. Im really interested in jets and engineering, the technology costs alot because it takes a long time and takes time to get the stuff to build these things. I think the f-35b is my favorite now.
While I still think the B model should have just had its own competition (the complexity of fitting V/STOL capability being one of the things that slowed the entire program,) this *is* quite a capable aircraft. It's set to sit in the middle of a lot of other tech being worked on - "Loyal wingman" drones, for instance. It's a flying, missile launching, bomb dropping data center.
It probably would've gotten cancelled. It would go along that lines of "The Marine core doesn't need a stealth jet in this threat environment". The raptor got cancelled. I think that only thing saved it was the fact that it was a package deal.
I have a hard time multi tasking while doing one thing. I couldn’t imagine trying to do all y’all hero’s do inside the cockpit. Thanks for your Service and stay safe. My nephew is in his second year of Air Force Academy he wants to be a pilot, he’s a glider instructor now.
I feel like I could fly this plane with the, just hit a button technology. :D Awesome JET!!
My gratitude and admiration for all you do!!!!
Semper Fi...................
Top guys these pilots enjoyed finding out about the hours of study and training, they are special men and women who fly these aircraft
On April 7th 2022, I was in South Carolina at parris island for my brother marine graduation. I was at the hotel during night. I seen so many fighter nets flying over. It had to be a f-35. I got some videos of it.
The amount they spend on training is amazing. I am not sure if other country is doing such in this level.
There isnt
Pretty sure many countries' fighter pilots go through similar training too. Simulation, briefing, flight inspection, mission planning, actual flying, debrief etc.
wow look at how nice the officer's barracks/lockers are.. it's a shame the barracks i was forced to stay in for 3 years didn't even have hot water for the duration of my stay.. gotta love the equality for the quality of life between both.
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Awesome, beautiful,exciting.
Finally another good Boot Camp episode
That's incredible how integrated the tech is with the helmet and plane. Pacific Rim isn't far off!!
Let build our jaeger
I have seen these jets flyover me almost everyday in Yuma and am amazed I do wonder though how much of the jet's systems are dependent on foreign countries
Amazing. I wish I could fly that, I have to conform with my C172 over KMYF looking at KNKX
OORAAAAH MARINES!!!! The Sister-Brotherhood of the Marine Corps is introduced to all Marines at the start of their tour. Learning about a bond Marines carry throughout their service, and Marine veterans carry after they discharge from service. These few Marine pilots in this video is a part of many Marine pilots at all Marine bases throughout the world. Their missions during wartime are extremely dangerous, and they understand that. Their bravery to take on any mission, supercedes any level of danger. To you brave pilots, warriors above. I raise my glass to your steadfast courage. Be alert, be safe on your next missions to terminate all targets on our next conflict. Salute to you devildogs in the sky... OORAAH!!

Nice timing on the repost, Insider, from here in SC. "In case the pilot needs to eject..."
This was posted two years ago. You have horrible timing.
I always see you guys flying your jets over the town
...beautiful vertical landing....good crazy to see...
"just pressed the button and it take of automatically"
I think i will be able to fly this jet if they told me which button to press😂😂😂
One of the most challenging aspect of becoming a fighter pilot to this day, I believe, remains to try to not weather out as quickly as possible by constantly withstanding all those g forces. I mean weighing 5 to 6 times your body weight...I’ve heard pilots say it’s like you’ve just climbed mountains in an hour and now all you want to do is sleep like a baby. No, it’s not easy at all.
Forget the helmet, I love the glass shell - amazing visibility
So glad it's not just what you know but still who you know to make leaps and bounds.
What rolls Royce did with this F35 really elevated an already fantastic engineering design, proud to have worked on these!
Thanks to all of you badasses . You make us proud. Marines are the meanest ,badass mofos on the planet. I pray we never have to go to war . But I know because of men just like you guys . Will make them regret that day. Mad respect for what you do. Thanks
Flying/training in the F -35 sounds similar to the AH-1G gunship. Many tasks to perform, almost simultaneously. Difference is there are two in an AG-1G.
Whew man those jets are AWESOME 😎
I always want to fly one of these jets
Now every single time that I will put my Wallet in my jeans i will know im doing something F35 pilots do for survive, im almost ready to fly one of this beast
being able to fly those things must be one of the best feelings in the world
:) I always wondered, wonderful information, evil adds
$400,000 for one helmet! That's a lot of money.
Whoa. You think???
Whats most interesting about this aircraft is that its impossible to fly without the onboard computer, it makes thousands of adjustments to the control surfaces every second just to make sure the plane stays in the air
I saw this plane (not in a air display ) it is flipping scary I love this aircraft as only nato and alies have this aircraft it is a incredible air well done lock head martin
thats pretty sick as someone whos scared of heights i admire them a lot damn they're fearless
The real “Top Guns” 👏🏼
These pilots are seriously intelligent, educated people with the ability to think quickly, clearly and act correctly all while having forces placed on their bodies that almost none of us understand. Listen to their stories and learn. Who knows...maybe you could make the cut and have one of the best jobs on Earth. Maybe.
Fighter pilots are part a team that makes it safe to be a US citizen!!! Thank you for your Service !!
I talked to 2 Harrier jet pilots at an air show, back in 1995. They were very smart, sharp, and highly educated. That hasn't changed much now. The planes are more expensive, though. The Marines don't trust a piece of machinery that costly to just any kid who wants to be a fighter pilot. I wanted to be one of those guys, when I was growing up. I realized that I wasn't made of "the right stuff" early on. You really do need to be good, or you could end up plowed deep somewhere, at 1200 mph.
The F-35B is a short takeoff and vertical landing aircraft, it can hover in the air thanks to its special rotating engine.
And what?
The engine doesn't rotate.
Compared to the Harrier the F-35B has made vertical takeoff and short take off so so easy. All they really have to do is just push a button to get the engine to turn down and thrust to get the plane in the air. Compare that with the Harrier where you are constant using levers, and switches to get the plane vertical takeoff. The F-35B and it's electronics have made it so much easier for pilots.
Nice, peek inside Marine Corp Pilots and where fighter pilot technology is going.
Add a rail boot camp also.
Thank you
One day I hope to fly one of those F-35B's.
