- From the great series 'Jetstream' by Discovery Canada. Buy the series on DVD here - www.papernyfilms.com/productio...
Jetstream follows eight pilots training with the Canadian Air Force to fly one of the most advanced supersonic tactical fighter jets in the world-the CF-18 Hornet at CFB Cold Lake. They train under the 410 Tactical Fighter Training Squadron.

>Me finding my car at the mall
You found your car? It's two years later and I'm still looking....
repairdroid77 lmaoooo
They still have to get through the airport and then find their transportation after that. Of course, if they're waiting for military transportation, it will be late and probably at the wrong location.
Lol!!! My uncle is gone for 1 year with his car along him
So that's why LAX has so many lengthy delays. What was SFO's issue back in 2016 then, I wonder?
Expected pilot speak: “Bravo 2-1, maintaining current speed of 400 knots at an altitude 30,000 feet, over.”
Reality: “it’s killing my butt”
I wouldn't want to be a pilot. I've been a passenger several times and couldn't wait to get the flight over with. Now, don't get me wrong...GTA is fun though.
The appeal is a love for flight. A commercial pilot isn’t nearly as glamorous as it once was.
theyre on a training for landing with normal air traffic
That's the difference between driving a high-performance sports car and driving an OTR truck.
Trucks are meant for comfort, while that sporty car was meant for short trips and fast dashes.
I've heard the same complaints for drivers that have had to drive a Corvette a thousand miles to deliver it.
Trucks have just about everything but a bathroom, but a good driver can plan out 500 to 600 miles in a day with little breaks, and a team can move across the country in less than three days.
Javier Charlier i think he forgot to get his dildo out before flight😝😅
Russians: *Taps into pilot radios*
Pilot Radio: It'S kIlLiNg My BuTt
@@manveetmann7380 I don't understand how that is funny
Misha G. M a IAF pilot 😂 i know how it feels after a long day but it is not as he said...we’re on su30 mki
😂😂the comments r always better.
and then a few hours later riel are you touching your self. No Im NoT.
@@huntercampbell5576 😂😁
Imagine being the plane in front of the f18 then hearing over the radio "Fox 3"
AlfredoRiel Molo people be wondering “fox 3?”
Target locked 😂
Fox-2* Fox-3 is for naval targets
SemperFidelis Man all Fox callouts refer to air to air weaponry. Anti shipping missile callout is Bruiser
@@semperfidelisman5728 It may have been a navy vessel. The navy uses most f-18's.
No one's asking the real question: How the heck do you get there late when you're in an F18???
sight seeing lol
Fuel
Air traffic (invisible), rest stops, lots of selfies, & gas up the in mid air. 😁
Speed restrictions as well
sam rusoff sustained supersonic flight is incredibly wasteful fuel wise, also, you can’t just fly supersonic anywhere you please here in Canada not in the US. there are laws stopping all fighter pilots from doing that, after a while even you would find the sonic booms annoying af or if they’re slightly too low, the boom will shatter windows.
And yet somehow, even though they're flying fighter jets, their luggage still ended up in Hawaii..
So some unlucky sod in Hawaii got a crateload of AMRAAMs and Sidewinders, huh? xD
@@Paveway-chan yes...um.... unlucky...
The Japanese also accidentally dropped some luggage there once
@@Paveway-chan yes well
Am i saying strap them to a airbus?
Yes
@Dr Deuteron Wow
Now im saying WHY CAN'T WE FLY OUR LUGGAGE IN THEM?
*“Civilian airliner, 12 o’ clock”*
“Affirmative”
*“Fox 2”*
“Wait _what_ “
*“Splash”*
“Hold on, we’re not Russian!”
"Good effects"
i thought it was fox 3

Fox 1: launch of a Semi-active radar-guided missile
Fox 2: launch of an Infrared-guided missile
Fox 3: launch of an Active radar-guided missile
I guess I could’ve used any of the Fox codes
Oh ok
“80 million fly in a year”
Covid 19: *I can fix that*
over 80 million people used to fly here, now, its a ghost town.
haha
Covid be like *I'm gonna end this man's whole career*
@CommunismDontWork not as many as there were.
"I already want to get out. It's killing my but."
"Well there's a solution for that. You see that bright yellow handle? Yeah, if you pull that it'll get you out of here in no time at all."
Vakama 905 So basically the easiest way to get out is to eject
j mcmann Clearly you arent a pilot. Youd never fit in a cockpit with that HUGE stick in your fuckboy ass.
EATING Your momma OH SHIT.
but
Vakama 905 I
How can that girl be nervous talking to a tower in a fighter jet? I'd be like "attention all airplanes clear all runways this is Cougar 30 coming in hot fighter jet bitches"
XD What's the tail number on your armchair?
hell yeah ! :D
i would play danger zone on my mp3 player and land without clearance.
*****
I'm gunna buzz the tower at LAX!! WWOOOOOO
***** And then you'd be dismissed from the Air Force.
Know a guy who was the class preceding this show.
Graduated top of his class, set new records in air and in classroom testing.
After graduation, he flew back to BC and was bored to tears. On his return to Cold Lake he realized he'd probably be flying commercial after RCAF retirement.
Walked into his CO's office, asked to train for helicopters.
Now he flies the Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone (after setting new school records again) and knows he's got a fun retirement ahead of him.
He's the only RCAF pilot to be fully certified for all prop aircraft used for Hornet training , Hornets and Cyclones (maybe more, but I'm unsure).
Some people are never happy with just one cool accomplishment.
Tldr?
@@drummergeorge9642 person knows a guy who was so good at his job
He flew different types of fixed wing and rotary just to deal with the boredom
@@drummergeorge9642 Tl;dr: If this is too much to read for you, than you are lazy and / or stupid.
@@drummergeorge9642tl,dr dude knows a pilot
$10 says he regrets that decision. -Former F/A-18C turned current airline pilot.
Imagine being 30,000 feet in the air and you need toilet
It would be better than 85,000 feet
Ridz they have pee bags for long trips
That's why they have piddle packs and often they wear adult diapers.
The real question, what if they have to shit?
Thomas vd Bersselaar poop in a bag, and eject! xD
well, upon radio contact loss, they usually dispatch a fighter to esco--..... oh.
LOL
Its will trigger an dogfight XD
No they wouldn’t, they would use light gun signals when they enter the traffic pattern
That would be fun to watch lol
What about 121.5 VHF different radio
No wonder Canadians are the nicest people. I think they contact the enemy pilot before firing a missile..." Sir, I'm going to fire AIM-54, buckle up please."
😂😂👍
That would be hilarious
ok omfg LMFAO !
“Ooooo... sowwy there aye.”
@@Bobcagon it's the stereotype and a joke.
In Canada, fighter pilots don't fire missiles, they fire apologies.
There is a reason they have never been successfully invaded, they just make you feel bad.
@@milbruh6671 HAHAHA
Much more deadly indeed
Kill them with kindness? Damn... I had to... ;)
Nono, its the guilt trip-strategy, which seems to work just fine.

I see it
We're so buddy with Canada that we let their Air Force fly into our airspace as tourists.
JJMMMEAC except it's not just a foreign jet, it's a military fighter jet, and unlike Europe we have control of our airspace for many thousands of miles. I'd say yah, a big part of it is being buddy buddy. But really, who doesn't like the Canadians eh? Even flying a fighter jet they seem more like someone you'd hang out with at the pub then get shot at by!
idiot
Canada is part of NORAD so yes their Air Force has access to US airports.
Mik Moen we share NORAD with them
cuz our CF-18s are so old, you can ask a kid to blow it extra hard with a fan, and it'll fall out of the sky before it becomes a threat.
Also, we don't want to invade you guys lol
you've now seen 2/3 of the Canadian Air Force

Went to Cold Lake in 78 and 80 from Langley AFB to the Maple Flag exorcises. The Canadian’s were very hospitable to us. Met some really nice people and had a great time. They still had F-104’s back then. I’ll never forget the sound they made in the pattern. Those were happy times. Best wishes to the Canadian Air Force!
♥️🇨🇦👍🏼
Loved teaching you guys to play Crud. Good times.
That was a lovely time
It is entirely possible that you may have flown with my grandfather Ted Millar during that time period.
Glad you had an excellent time up at the lake :)
Man, why can't the RCAF have domestic built aircraft again, like the CF-100? that thing outlasted plenty of American designs!
I grew up literally across the street from LAX. I've seen what kind of traffic goes in and out of there. It's GOTTA be stressful. The ballet choreography that keeps some sort of order to everything is really impressive -- and yes, as the narrator said, at LAX, an F18 is just another plane who has to wait their turn. Air Force One is probably the only aircraft that gets priority treatment.
I like the sound of aircraft, but not sure I could handle living across the street from LAX!
FYI, another priority aircraft aside from AF1 is the OC-135 OPEN SKIES, which flies a treaty-compliance mission. As far as I know, they’re the only two US aircraft with “United States of America” written on their sides.
@@jayhache5609 first time ive heard of that bird
Hurting your butt? Cant they just fly inverted for half an hour?
Then their head will hurt
Daaang! What an idea!!
@Danny Forrest - give me ur brains , ur smart 😂
The weight would still be on the seat
That’s some serious negative Gs
Is this why my F/A-18 flight was delayed?
Lol
Really lol
CF-18 in Canada
lol
No,cause an MiG 29 shot it down.
Remember when airports were a thing ? lol good old times
Cuz of the quarantine?
40millions a year.
Wouldn't hurt to limit the air traffic a little bit - it's good for the ecosystem.
I live near one, I watch planes touching down at night even in the current state of the world. They're very beautiful to watch and it gives me hope for the future. :)

Regarding your comment about us "helping out so much"...Canada is loved around the world for our generosity and friendliness. Riddle me this: Why do many Americans who travel abroad tell people they are Canadian? Is it for fear they will be treated poorly? Captured and tortured? I have traveled to over 200 countries and always proclaim proudly I am Canadian when asked, and treated well accordingly.
Whether you like it or not, Canadians and Americans are neighbours. We share the longest UNDEFENDED border in the world. Why? Because we are friends.
You should come up for a visit some time, eh?
We have THE BEST beer, clean cities with low pollution, and relatively low crime. We'd love to see you once the US gets their Covid-19 situation under control and the border opens.
BTW - I think Trump is awesome!
🇨🇦🇺🇸 friends for the long haul!!
There is not a pilot out there that is not stressed landing at LAX for the first time, especially at night. Cut them some slack. To even get to fly ane F-18 you have to be an impressive person.
You have to feel bad for the passenger plane pilots. They have a whole lot of lives on their hands.
SuperBigblue19 empressive? Really ?
Thatsme849 Yeah...you have to be so impressive that you can misspell it and no one gives you crap about it because you're just THAT good. ;-)
Class C and B airspace can be stressful. I’ve done it many times. I try not to do class B in a single engine if I can help it. Too much of a hassle. Done class C a million times (have to, that’s where I park it).
Maybe they now have respect for those Air Canada pilots.
Ah that's nothing! I once landed a 747 with two engines out on a dirt strip with a tailwind and thunderstorm (Mircosoft Flight Simulator FSX) LOL.
*controlling it with arrow keys
:D
+Robert K same XD
Robert K I did it with a N64 controller

Really have a lot of respect for those flight instructors. They were excellent at being supportive and firm just the right combination. I’ve been flying my whole life and I’ve only had a couple of instructors like that and it’s always a lot easier to learn.
Love the banter between Riel and Kramer. He's got exactly the kind of fun-but-firm instructor attitude that puts people at ease and makes them want to learn.
Imagine landing a f-18 on a small carrier over the ocean
...at night, in a war drill with no runway lights, no lights at all, 100 miles from land, in gusting winds and 30-meter waves....
imagine landing a rocket on a barge in the ocean
@@protonjinx They at least have nvg's thank god
We actually have TACAN (radio based navigation) assisted landings for carriers that practically tell you exactly where you're going. All you have to do is line the plane up with the HUD symbology and it'll get you on the deck.
Modern jets has a arresting hook designed to catch cables on the carrier so the jet doesn’t over run the strip
"That was way intense"
Says the guy who flies fighter planes that can go over a thousand miles per hour and make such aerobatic moves that create incredibly intense gravitational forces while trying not to get blasted out of the sky. But nah, landing at a public airport is way intense. haha i love fighter pilots, alota respect.
+Lettuce Flavored BleachTM - Really it is stressful to fly into LAX at night in a fighter, even for an experienced fighter pilot, let alone a new student like these front seaters.
LAX is pretty hectic and a lot less organized than even a busy busy military airport like Nellis, let along Cold Lake Canada.
And from the fighter pilot POV, nothing, absolutely nothing, is as scary as the thought of screwing up in front of an audience of commercial airline pilots and civilian traffic controllers!
They are far more likely to collide or crash while landing at an airport than they are to get "blasted out of the sky"
Harry Ford that’s why you listen to ATC, it doesn’t change the fact that a dogfight or other combat op is usually exponentially more stressful than a routine task that you’ve done so many times such as landing on a runway
LAX be like that
I get what you're saying but when they're training they have their own military practice areas where they don't have to worry about much civilian traffic (MOAs). When flying into a busy airport its stressful because you don't want to mess up a radio call and piss off ATC, or encroach on other traffic being sequenced. The faster the aircraft the faster things like position reports, checklist items, and flight profiles happen... which makes it more stressful than playing around with your fighter jock buddies back home.
0:33 This guy is reconsidering his career choices.
hahaha he shouldn't say that its probably where he's going after his retirement from his military career
Yes, he’d make way more money at the airlines, more comfortable seats, a lav, and have coffee brought to the flight deck
Thanks for recommending this *ten years* later RUclips :)
2:53 I thought he said "are you touching yourself, Riel?"
+Wes T94 no he said "are u touching stuff" which means he thought she was messing withe radio
I know dude, I can read the subtitle
lol
+Wes T94 LOL! Same here. That may cause interference as well ;P. I had to do a double take. Thank goodness for subtitles XD
doodr what?
Them: I want out
Me: Hell yeah wanna switch
Me : Landing in a civilian airport ? What's so hard about that ?
Guy : ... an airport with one landing a minute...
Me : *o h*
"it's busy, it's confusing and everybody is impatient"
Ehhh just like my office then...
Sounds like most retail jobs. :P
And he said "Am I hungry!"
What a way to calm the day.. Good job up there today fellas..
I love how chill and cool Kramer is!

I was in Cold Lake MP 90-93 and 97-2004. I started my career there however 32 years later, I retired in Ottawa. The base exercises, deployment to San Antonio, TX, the pilots, the ground crew, families, and the city of Cold Lake are my greatest memories. Lots have changed and many of us are aging, retired, and up to the new generation to keep the right stuff going. Love you all.
I like how they give the female the call sign "cougar" 😂 typical military fashion
Lol I was looking for someone to mention that!😂
It's the aircraft call sign not the individual call sign. All the jets in their squadron likely are a cougar- call sign. If the male pilot used the radio, call sign would still be cougar-30.
@@TheDisplacedalaskan typically yes but more than likely this event and making of a video got it's own call sign. Why they went with cougar when there would be a female flying with them I have no idea considering a call sign can be literally anything. In Afghanistan our unit used at least a different call sign for every company. Often using a different call sign than that for the higher ups in the company. We typically uses the company name as our call sign when using the radio. So Lima company would Use lima 1, lima 2, Lima 3 and India company would use India 1, India 2 and so on while for instance platoons who were attached to higher ups like the Battalion Commander Battalion Sergeant Major were assigned the call sign Blade. But on our second deployment it was all completely different. So your right but also wrong someone somewhere decided cougar was a good call sign to use for this specific event going down that we see in the video lol
@@USMC816 I don't think there is sufficient evidence to support it was or that it was not specially selected for this video, but it is still the ship call sign and either one of them would use the same call on the radio. I don't know with specifics how the Canadian air Force selects calls. I know our jets calls were selected as a reference to the state. Jets assigned a certain mission get other calls such as Judge, Huntress, Vermont Air Guard jets use the callsign Maple.
@@USMC816 just for fun info, the 410 tactical fighter squadron is The Cougars. They fly the CF18. It would be logical for them to have the cougar call sign, however I certainly can't say that it's the same unit that made this flight. I'm certainly not saying the military is above that sort of thing by any means, but I also think there is a reasonable chance that it was coincidental too.
1:44 you can't fool me, that's Kennedy Steve! he operated out of JFK, not LAX 😁
What do you mean
@@andru5054 Kennedy Steve was an air traffic controller who worked in JFK, and one of the voices they overlaid into the video to show how busy the airport was is his.
Ha! I missed that one. Still waiting on Delta tug 2...

*plays ride of the valkyries*
Are you surprised that they're not flying sleds or igloos?
No. I'm just surprised that they know how to fly something else other than sleds or igloos.
John De Luna hahah.. You do know that Canada built the world's fastest, and agile interceptor back in the 50's and could easily have had air superiority.. They chose to abandon the jet and bought into NORAD under pressure from the US..
My dad had to make a landing at Boston in an F-9 with no lights on his panel, and no sectional charts for the airport. Got a vector there and flew it stick and rudder after he was told to head to Boston because back then they did not carry sectionals. So in simple terms he had no map of the approaches, or even the area. The controllers just told him to follow the DC-5 He had to use a flashlight on his compass to tune the radio to different frequencies and just guess his airspeed on final, and adjust his approach speed so he didn't hit a DC-6 or other turboprop.
+jesterd14 are we supposed to be impressed?
+ce0113 well I am
Try driving a Toyota Yaris between 2 Semi's, with one 2 cars lengths in front of you, going 70mph and one behind you, and the first one hits the brakes as the second one speeds up. And do it at night with no headlights on your car, and no brake lights on the semi in front of you.
See the F-9F has a stall speed of 131 knots, and the landing speed is around 140 knots, and the DC-6 has a landing speed of 115 knots. And an approach speed of 125.
+jesterd14 Best reply ever. :D Perfect illustration.

At atlantic city international when me and the fam was waiting for a flight we had f-16s practicing for an air show, and doing touch and gos. Cool stuff to watch while waiting for a plane.

As the description says this is an excerpt from the series “Jetstream” about the training of new fighter pilots in Canada. So they hadn’t learned to fly the F18 that long before this. It was a really interesting series.
Saw my old airline a couple of times at the beginning. I sure miss flying into Socal. No other airspace like it, and LAX is just plain fun.
The “and I’m hungry” part got me 😂
just like your good ol' hollywood movies.
"and im hungry" hunger makes everything worse

@@kitsunamoroshi7093 Good thing about being a guy is you can whip that dong out and piss in a bottle. Assuming you have enough room to do it lol
I still think the F-18 is the most versatile and beautiful jet out there,

This whole series was excellent. Wish Discovery did more stuff like this and less fluff

Then why didn't they help us out in Vietnam?
cause that war was absolutely pointless and canada was smart enough to not intervene
There were definitely some canadian soldiers in Vietnam, I met one who went by the nickname "Mess". I asked him why they called him Mess and he lifted his shirt to show me a mess of shrapnel wounds. Canada did not have a draft for that war, however.
goutvols103 because they were smart enough not to join a pointless war
I learned to fly in the Baltimore/Washington DC area more than 20 years ago. If you have been training in desolate areas for most of your career, working in a major air traffic system can seem quite daunting. The instrument arrival procedures are complex, there are many sectors, many frequency changes, No-Radio procedures, and it helps to know what possible vectors to expect from TRACON. Keep your ears open and listen closely.
That said, they seem to have handled it well.
Random fact: Canada has a seemingly disproportionate number of two seat variants in its F/A-18 fleet (two seaters comprising nearly half of the fleet) as it anticipated a much high incidence of training losses. Consequently, modernized F/A-18B variants (F/A-18D+ standard after midlife updates) are often sent out on operations with a solo pilot... allowing more in depth maintenance on the F/A-18A units (C+ after midlife updates) through rotating a greater number of aircraft in the fleet. In U.S. forces, the B-variant was typically a pure training aircraft while the D-variant (introduced some ten years later) briefly filled the gap left by the retirement of the A-6E in the Navy and Marine Corps. The two seat variants are no less capable air combat machines, however, typically having identical systems to the single seat 'air combat' variants.
Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

Yup, took a test flight on a glider off my bucket list 4 months ago, staying on the ground has sucked ever since I took that stick.
Yeah, bout that. Not after your 3rd 14 hour duty day with minimum 9h resets. (Yeah I'm lucky we get 9 not 8) Still look up though, thinking "Glad its them instead of me"
Well now obviously I'm not Da Vinci but I have only been on four aircraft. Went from Saint Louis to Tulsa then from Tulsa to Dallas. It was a nice set of flights and had a few good cold beers in flight. It was the pilots and flight crews that did the good work that got me and the rest of the passengers to our destinations. It was definitely nicer than the 13 hour drive from Marion, IL to Dallas.
Canadian Air Force sure is laid back...
Because they have no wars to prepare for. they just get paid to learn how to fly.
Yeah but they just lay back and watch america do the dirty work, and get paid. #badass!
We prefer our own planes though, in afghanistan one of your badass guys killed six of us.
ugh, blue on blue, it almost makes me feel bad for tali. I only got a small taste of air power, those guys deal with the full force of nato aircraft.
Canadian planes were in combat in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia, the first Gulf War, and more. They do get to see combat on a fairly regular basis. They just don't advertise it.
This was an amazing doc series...honestly blown away by it. Well done Papery
that "and im hungry" really shows how pilots truly handle preasure..
and also I wouldnt be a good pilot

Just by the statement itself, I think you would be a good pilot, if you thought you had an interest. You'd be most attentive in your learning and desirous of being a rock steady reliable pilot. By the way, I have that whole series. If I recall, there were two male pilots that did not complete training. I think there was one who could not get pass the centrifuge.
I'm always ungry, maybe I would've been a good pilot
Jetstream was a really good series, it's on RUclips. Worth a watch.
As an American I must admit, Canadians are awesome humans! I play online with many of them and they're so laid back and nice! - and from the looks of this video, they're great pilots!
***** Suh dude, do I know you? lol
***** Haha! awesome, i only ask bcuz my good buddy say's "Suh Dude" too! lol good to meet you man.
As a Canadian I can assure you that is not true. People are giant assholes everywhere. Even here
@@shellbythesea12 This guy has never played CSGO with french canadians lmao
Never go to Alberta. Cops there spoil the whole "Canadians are nice" thing.
"i already want out"
theres a lever that can help with that :D
Anything is better than riding an ejection seat.
Lever
_ejecto seato cuz_
The eject handle
Great video. Heroes, all of them! THANK YOU!
It's actually really nice to see this from the rookie pilot point of view. Then tension in the cockpit when the comms went down and I was just thinking, you know what to do follow the procedure, we've got you. Great video.
I want to see an f18 make some crazy maneuvres in the LA airport lol
Justin sénéchal I fly helicopters out of Long Beach airport and there are a couple hornets that fly in here once in a while. So cool watching them take off from as close as the taxiway
Sloth55Chunk They train above my uncle's territory once in awhile. Dogfighting practice. Up north in Quebec
Permission to buzz tower, over.
Just flight simulator things
No Turn Before Shoreline.
The whole series was great and it showed the enormous pressure the trainees were under during their training. They were wings qualified but this was operational training for the F18. Most could fly the aircraft but quite a few had trouble trying to fight with the aircraft and at times the camera crew were asked not to film some of the trainees as they were struggling to cope and the instructors did not want them under extra pressure of being filmed.
4:26 OMG ITS THE OLD AIR NZ 747!!!
This was a great series!!
If i had a typical documentary Narrator that you get nowadays doing his stuff while i was learning to fly a little cessna, i think i'd suffer from anxiety. I mean yes it's stressful at LAX and stuff but you know that a lot of documentaries try to put you on edge all the time with their wordings. And the one plane a minute doesn't neccesarily mean for the same runway. There's another 2 far to the left. Clever use of words for them to make everything sound scary.
+World Aviation HD This is what annoys me the most about american made documentaries. Not all of them, but most of them, do this kind of crap all the time. British ones are much more informative and less falsely dramatic i generally find.
It was never said that it was 1 runway? They're talking about the amount of planes in the air as a result of a plane in and out every minute, and the fact that there are lots of planes in the air all the time, making it more difficult for them to even access the air space
macauley kevern If you leave pieces of factual information out. It’s called Dramatization. Documentaries are supposed to be factual, informative and educational. If there’s 2 opposing views disputing a fact. You present both opposing views and let the viewer decide. You’re not supposed to withhold information for dramatic purposes.
I'm sorry to say, I've watched some overly dramatic documentaries and in the end there was a BBC logo.
Chris Bautista if there are two opposing views disputing a fact, the one that is not fact should not be given a voice. A debate between evolution and creationism, for example, the non-scientific argument should not be given equal time in a documentary about biology. I agree with you on American documentaries they are hyped up and majority of the time it is a narrator talking in the "voice of god" with few experts on.
Landing a fighter in the midst of airliners that land 1 min apart from each other... that wake must be extremely dangerous for a fighter jet, right?
+MrQwerty2524 its also the chance of another bigger aircraft not noticing the smaller jet
+Cjonas Productions they cant see but the tower can :)
They'll space them appropriately for wake turbulence.
Also you want to land farther down the runway than the larger aircraft, wake turbulence settles and drifts with the wind.
I've landed a Grumman Cheetah in traffic almost like that many times. Took my primary at Houston Hobby.
I could be watching this all day.
I lived in cold lake while Jetstream was being filmed. My dad was an instructor at 410 but he's only here in the show a few times, Vlad. After Seamus finished the course, we went go Karting and you'll be please to know I crashed into him (on purpose shh). Seamus ended up retiring from the military recently and is now in medical school. Congrats to him.
2:53, Lucky there's a subtitle because all i heard is "Are you touch yourself Riel?"
I swear, that's what I heard too! LOL! Yeah, subtitles can be handy!

No! I’m not
fadly A. Rahman lmaoooooo
Yes.
Pro tip: when you lose comms, use 243.0 (or 121.5) and get back in contact. Oh and I love the commentary about having to be so stressed out about all the traffic. Just fly YOUR airplane. ATC will worry about the rest.
Because I am a professional air traffic controller and I get to see pilot screw ups every day. Not bashing pilots, I am a private pilot also.
In canada the rules are THE PILOT is RESPONSIBLE for almost everything
Same in US. Pilot in command takes much of the burden for the flight. Part of the responsibility is knowing how to maintain communications. I don't understand your argument.
Brian Voigt I was commenting on the fact that you said ATC will worry about the rest
I wouldn't advice people to use 243.0 MHz since that is the military emergency frequency. Rather they should use 121.5 MHz as you also write in your comment
1:20
Had to listen to that a few times, my brain automatically made it sound like "Los Santos"
I taxi the heavy aircraft at LAX every day, it’s no big deal, but I needed the ground controller to take me by the hand while driving an MD80 around Las Vegas airport while looking for a suitable spot to do a high power run. Very confusing when you don’t know where you are going.
“We’re flying to California!” “Damn,we don’t have enough ordnance!”
Gets arrested for having a magazine built into the aircraft that can hold more than 10 rounds....
I would love to fly one of these!!!
same
+Ernest Roberts I watched one take off from Boise Airport/ Gowen field.
As they departed during their climb they did a quick full roll... was like man that would be the most awesome thing to do.
Unfortunately, I came from a relatively poorer less educated family, and didn't quite make it in time for the age cut off for officer in any branch... working full time and traveling with my job and taking classes often online courses, but not always didn't work out.
Oh well. I will have to stick the easier payable method of going up in an Extra 300.
Just Chilling How bout a F-22 Raptor???
It sounds cool. Believe me. I flew in an f-15. It's not as cool as it looks like from the outside lmao. I give those guys so much props for what they do everyday.
Well you better start training for G-forces,
they're damn hard to fly.
I had a fun day in 1966 going into LAX in the right seat of an A-1E Skyraider. That's a whole 'nother world.
Not all flying is fun and fabulous! Been in that situation a few times and couldn't wait to get out of that tiny cockpit!
Imagine operating and f15 like holy shit you gotta be somebody
@@stars227 good luck
@@stars227 and ik my mishap appreciate it I think I was high watching thos vid I was just fascinated about fighter jeta
FBI ReaL I flew a glider close enough 🙂🙃🙂🙂
FBI ReaL I fly a Cessna close enough
Good Job All.
You guys stay safe out there and have fun.
Thanks for your Service !!!!!
2:44 me when the teacher asks to read the essay out loud
Try riding on a C-141 freight pallet from Sigonella, Sicily to McChord AFB in Tacoma, Washington non-stop. Talk about being glad to be on the ground! At least I had a rather comfortable place to lay down in among the stuff under the tarps.
Good flight. Good flight. Thanks for sharing it.
Capt Riel taught me on the Hawk at 419(2013) and I accidentally overspeeded the landing gear on her last teaching mission on the Hawk, what an achievement!! lol
Some of the background ATC radio traffic they played was JFK Steve I think lol
Just gotta dramatize it a *bit*
+Benjamin Dod I know I just thought it was funny
No question about it.
Only one piece of it yes.
Why, was he yelling at Delta Tug 5? X3
Training for my f-16 student piloting license. My max g's pulled have been roughly 8.5 at 350. My goal is over 9 within the next month or so.
I spent some time in Cold Lake, as an engineer for Boeing, supporting delivery of F-18’s and test equipment and it is cold in the winter! Met a bunch of wonderful military Canooks.
Canadians are like polite Americans! Glad to have them as our northern neighbors!
@ And yet no one apologises as much as the Canadians.
@@AAArnold On my experience with brits apologizing I actually think there's a debate about that lmao
and americans are like polite britons lol
Don't sell yourself short, I find Americans very friendly and polite also!
@ Canadian here. . . . The last time I swore was about 3 years ago.
This is part of a series about Canadian pilots, excellent, must see!
I like the how easy going the fighter pilots are. Is there any more videos like this?
This could be considered effective training given the added variables which could well be in effect in the event of a needed/emergency landing in a densely occupied area such as this one
Love and respect for our Air Force and army as well as navy. Have a nice Remembrance Day everyone
My god its like the ground crew were expecting a passenger jet but look what they got a federal aircraft :D
Zach Berger *Canadian Fighter Jet
The U.S. Federal Government doesn't own that craft.
They parked at the FBO on the south side of the airport, its where all the non-commercial aircraft go.
Xavier Rodriguez are you smart? A governments aircraft is a federal aircraft
Correct me if I'm wrong - a CF-18 is not a government/Federal Aircraft, but military
Trey Stroeder Hey look someone called it a CF-18 for once
Got to love how the title and coment section all says this is a F18 when it is infact a CF-18, ours has a big ol' flashlight on it to light up soviet bombers that where taking a look around.
That would be one hell of a shock vs cold lake
Its very similar to when I 1st went from Trenton straight to EAFB.... holy hell what a massive change!
