      It would of been louder but the camera just can't pick up all of that loud sound so it sounds quieter than it is. Trust me it's not quiet.

    • @yoyoyoyoshua
      @yoyoyoyoshua 7 лет назад +5

      It's probably a go pro camera in it's waterproof case which muffles the sound. He'd need an external mic to record the sound.

      Janoy Cresova's 5% Order 66 Company you do realise how much sound proofing there is when the cockpit is sealed. Look at the end when he pops the hood and blips the jet, no where near full power, still considerably louder.

      Fighter cockpits are extremely loud. Pilots wear double ear protection with plugs and muffs and still have significant hearing loss and tinnitus.

    • @blakesejarma
      @blakesejarma 2 года назад

      Actually it’s remarkably quiet. All the noise is behind you. At speed it’s startling just how quiet. The only thing noticeable is the vibration and constant radio comms. This vid is about as loud as it gets. Of course the helmets muffle some so it feels even quieter.

      ...the average commercial airliner flies at about mach 0.75.
      the F-18 can hit level speeds of mach 1.5. and that's when they're travelling, not when they're diving like in the video..

    • @atomicsteameng
      @atomicsteameng 8 лет назад +1

      Junn Kopf I'm fully aware of that, but these F/A-18's are not traveling at mach 1.5 are they? I'd bet that these F/A-18 at best are going at .75 mach. Just because they can get to mach 1.5 doesn't mean that they're at that speed constantly. Besides, it's illegal to go above mach 1 over the land.

      +AirshowStuffVideos in the 2 seaters can both people fly the plane using the stick or is it just the pilot only?

      +Derek Wall Well I'm not ASV but I will give you an answer which is...sometimes! Lol. If the aircraft is a trainer variant then there will be two sets of controls with the student up front and instructor in the back. In other aircraft with two seats (A-6, F/A 18-D/F, F-14, F-15 E) the other seat is designed for a bombardier/navigator/systems operation type function and is manned (or womaned) by Weapon Systems Officer or Naval Flight Officer (who is NOT a pilot, that's a Naval Aviator). The B-2 on the other hand is flown by two fully qualified pilots with the mission commander flying right seat and can be fully operated from either position.

    gotta love military pilots. from the moment he applies full power on the runway every single thing he does after that until touchdown is choreographed to the second and drilled to perfection. a glimpse of how awesome at something a human can become!

    Yep, Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, MI.
    The jet and crew are from VFA-106, the single ship F-18C demo team.

    I just love these videos mainly because when the pilots put their hands on the grips it just gives you such a great sense of gravity and Gforce / weightlessness. :)

    • @joevignolor4u949
      @joevignolor4u949 5 лет назад +1

      I've flown in a jet fighter twice and they do. In the cockpit you primarily hear the sound of the engine compressors that are located just behind you. They suck in air just like a vacuum cleaner except on a much larger scale.

    • @Chi2901
      @Chi2901 9 лет назад +28

      Tracomaster A g-suit only covers the legs where it can squeeze. You don't want the suit squeezing the knee because it's a joint.

    • @Tracomaster
