@@kaptainkrafter4130 ohh please don't go down that rabbit hole. I dont think I could take it
Rambo first blood for a hunting movie
Rest in peace Chuck Yeager.
RIP Chuck Yeager...ironic timing of this episode.
Who?
“Fighter pilots make movies, bomber pilots make HISTORY” lol
What no Iron Eagle? Clearly the most realistic flying film of all time!
I was thinking the same thing
I thought Hot Shots was the more realistic movie.
Fighter jock C. W. Lemoine ('Mover') has a two-part takedown on Iron Eagle over at his channel. Search for 'Mover Ruins Movies'
Shooting missiles while on the ground. Nothing better
Really good flying sequences wasted...

And Angry Cops, too!
Fun fact: F-104 pilots gave their aircraft many fun names, including: “missile with a man in it”, “widow maker”, and “bullet and blades”, to name a few. It’s wings were so sharp that when it was on the ground it had to have special covers over them so that ground crew members didn’t hurt themselves (hence the bullets and blades name).
It had a pretty bad record with the Luftwaffe. The boundary layer control system that lowers the stall speed for landing would malfunction in the most awkward moments, like on short final. That, coupled with a downward ejection seat was lethal. Not to mention the German humidity (it certainly rains more than at Edwards airbase) would do quite a number on the electronics. Pile onto that, so much wing loading that it just can't turn with all the weight the Germans added to it to turn it into a multirole fighter.
@@paulmakinson1965 Wasn't that the plane that had a looong history of accidents. 'Who killed pilots? Than US covered it up and sold it to Norway
RE: The F-104...Only the earliest jets had the downward-ejecting seats, because the seats of the time couldn't clear the tail at high speeds. That was quickly corrected. Yeager's flight was in an NF-104, a special jet with a rocket above the jet; intended for high altitude research.
Upward ejection made your buttcrack longer. Got it.
@@osakarose5612 Why thank you, I try.
“I would fly to Florida to get shrimp and come back”. Ah yes, American tax dollars at work lmao.
You can't do that today in the USAF, waaaaay too much accountability and the aircraft can't just be started and hopped into anymore like an old bus.
Im surprised you didn't show them independence day
Hello, boys. I'M BACK!
Anyone else feel like watching Top Gun for the 75th time after watching this episode?
Get after it
them are rookie numbers add a 0 and you got my count.
Nope
@@ultima0121 Yeah I joined the Navy in 1987 , I became a jet engine mechanic on fa-18c's . The f-14 wasn't all that impressive up close and personal . Watching the flog on that thing for 13 hours to make simple repairs was painful .
I just watch beach volleyball scene on repeat
Yes fighter pilots what I have been waiting for.
We try to keep a little variety, even the sky dwelling types!
A rewatching of this did not disappoint! Definitely get those guys back on!!!!
The F-104 sequence was a recreation of Yeager's December, 1963 attempt to set a record for ground level to maximum altitude. The NF-104A he was flying was modified with a Rocketdyne liquid fuel motor attached for extra boost, once the aircraft reached high altitude where the jet engine was not getting enough air to remain running. The pilot would manually cut off the jet engine at a predetermined point in the flight profile. Once at altitude where the control surfaces lost effect, an RCS system installed in the wingtips and nose gave the pilot a measure of control through the ballistic arc. Yeager was unable to maintain the plane within the flight envelope and was forced to eject. The injury to his face was from burning material from his ejection seat motor. Luckily, the blood caked on his face protected his eye from the heat and prevented its loss. The flight was not an unscheduled jaunt as depicted in the movie, but a preplanned profile.
Good comment I remember reading about this in Aviation Week, and or Yeager his autobiography. Not too many people including aviation geeks, know about the NF-104 program. I was always a little disappointed they couldn't show the little rocket engine under the rudder but above the jet exhaust nacelle looked so cool.
Fighter pilots have a really cool job AND they are all smiles when they come up my hoist and into the chopper.
My dad was an F-4 pilot at the time that Top Gun came out (309th, Homestead) and I distinctly remember going to the base theater to watch Top Gun, and it was filled with all of the pilots from three different squadrons of Phantom pilots at the time. Whenever flight maneuvers came on-screen, the cries of "Bullsh!t" rang loud and strong throughout the room.
RIP Chuck Yeager, GOAT!
A-10 go brrrrrrrrrrrrt.
Yeah. Transformers droped the ball on that one
One of the best sounds to hear in a battle☺🤗
That big man Biff seems like your non-creepy uncle that your family wants you to stay away from because he has too much fun. Long live the Yeager life
My dad flew A-10s. a little bit cowboyish is a perfect description of him and the guys he flew with. Despite their antics, I would trust any one that flew a10s with him with my life.
I really want an episode with donut and AC
I still have The Right Stuff memorized. We watched it so many times as kids. It really helped when we studied the space program in school because we knew the names of all the astronauts and the different Apollo missions. The coolest part of the Air and Space Museum was seeing the X-1!
i should be studyin rn but who doesnt love american heroes
ps i dont live in america
I mean...the responsible side of me says you should study, but the fun side says it'll be there in 18 minutes still!
@@osakarose5612 but momm dad loves these guys
Hey can we please get a truthful explanation. I mean I’m for you guys I think y’all are awesome but people are getting irritated.
It's been explained to death already, and we're moving forward. Our mission is making great coffee and supporting veteran and first responder organizations, which we've put over a million dollars this year towards. There's a lot of misinformation and misrepresented information about one person's own actions, and that's not something we're going to dwell on and rehash every day. We appreciate the support, and can understand why some people want us to take a purist stance, but it's not what we're here to do.
Check out Evans video with Mike Glover from last night
ruclips.net/video/L6UWIshfp5g/видео.html
I agree.
@@SomeoneDK Mike and Evan definitely have a great conversation on the subject in detail, check that out for some more in depth perspective!
If you want a quick and dirty one also check out JT's video

I was flying F-4s when Top Gun came out. We went to the flicks as a group out of the squadron. Loved the cinematography and laughed out load at the tactics and the TG Schoold scenes. However, the O-Club scenes were highly realistic at the time. We had a blast flying the Rhino...Craven was pat of the back end of that culture.
I know I’m way too late to the party because RUclips despises everything you guys stands for and didn’t recommend your videos to me but I’m glad I found these videos you guys are the best
I was working at Lockheed in Burbank back around 1980, I was in the library for older aircraft. Came across a maintenance manual for a modified F-104. What intrigued me was it was a highly modified A/C. It had “thrusters”!! The SAME type used in spacecraft!! Spent many hours reading it.
these need to be 30 minutes minimum
9:50 mark, they are launching the Japanese planes off the back of the carrier... which was the USS Lexington. To make it seem Japanese, they parked all the planes on the bow and had them "takeoff" aft, then rearranged the deck with B-25s for the USS Hornet shoot.
In real life the Chuck Yeager F-104 crash was a modified airframe called the NF-104A modified with a rocket engine for ultra high altitude flight training for what was supposed to be the first USAF Astronauts. Read Yeagers autobiography, it's amazing.
👍👍👍👍👍
Police movies with donut and angry cops
"The ocean will fuck you up!" One of the greatest react statements of all time.
Bring in some bomber pilots, show “Memphis Belle”!
I need an extended version of this! As a Flight Deck guy this one was special to me!!
Funny story, my father's callsign was Maverick. Got it after a maverick didn't eject off the weapon pylon on his F4 properly and so it tore off and ended up with the warhead sticking up in the cockpit. This was right after he had gotten to his first squadron so his callsign was born that day. Fast forward a few years and Top Gun comes out. Considering he was in the Air Force and at the time was an instructor at Fighter Weapons School at Nellis his callsign was immediately changed and Irish was born. Fast forward a few years and we are at Osan AFB and he's the OPS Group commander. Tom Cruise shows up promoting Interview with a Vampire and if I remember correctly Planet Hollywood opening in Seoul. I get a chance to meet him and being the snot nosed kid I was I walked right up to him and said "You forced my father to change his callsign because of that stupid movie that made people think the Navy could actually fly." He was actually a cool guy about it. One of the guys from my Dad's F16 squadron at Osan was the one who took him up that he's talked about on Top Gear and other places. He bought the squadron a movie theater popcorn maker and to the best of my knowledge to this day is still having popcorn, butter, oil, salt, etc sent over 4 times a year. This concludes boring story that random people on the internet care nothing about lol.
Not boring...I cruise the youtube comments to pick up cool tidbits of info and stories. Thanks for sharing. My Tom Cruise story...I didn't get to talk with him, but pretty close. He was racing in about 1992 after Days of Thunder with the Newman Sharpe team at Pocono Raceway. He crashed his car so we went down near the pits to get closer. We were about 20ft from him while he was chewing someone out. My first thought was, he's a lot shorter in person.
Been to Pearl Harbor. They turned some hangers into museum exhibits. They restore planes on site. They had WWII vets there every day to talk to visitors. The USS Missouri was awesome. The Arizona memorial was unique in a way I can’t put into words. Sadly, some visitors were glued to their phones or had unchecked kids that didn’t get it and acted up.
I love the right stuff. it was great. love watching you guys watch and talk about the different kinds of movies. Love all you guys and Black rifle coffee
"Those things chasing the A-10s look a lot faster than they are."
What are they, kites?
@@mgoblue0970 "The enemy" would also be an acceptable answer.
JB looks like Jim Gaffigan with a combat stash
being a lieutenant and having the keys to a jet at any given time for whatever is SO FREAKING AWESOME! lol
Glen Eberle: If Bryan Cranston flew jets.
I wanna take off from a carrier
Someday before I die
Strap that Viper to a catapult
And watch that sucker fly
Two hundred knots in under two seconds
That's my kind of fun
Do a barrel roll right after takeoff
Just like in Top Gun
But I don't
Wanna land
Allow me to explain
And you'll understand
'Cause it ain't about the landing
Why would I care?
You never have a crosswind
And you never have to flare
You got four fuckin' wires
How could you miss?
I can't think of anything
That's easier than this
Though once you're on the deck, my friend
You're never the same again
'Cause you're stuck on a boat
In the middle of nowhere
With five thousand other men
if your going to do Perl Harbor do Tora Tora Tora god damn it
and the 1976 film, "Midway".
@@matta5498 an amazing film
Loved this!!! And GOTTA USE THE A10 scenes from TERMINATOR SALVATION ! It’s bad ass and was wrote specifically in becasue AI wouldn’t be able to control it being such a a mechanical old school jet. Awesome scenes.
Yes make these longer
I got to go visit Pearl Harbor and Hickam AFB when I was in the scouts, and yes, the bullet holes are still there! Quite an amazing experience!
Chuck Yeager shot down an Me-262 in a P-51, doesn't get more badass than that.
Excellent timing. You actually caught me when I could watch !! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'd actually like to see u do a segment on A-10's.
I don't think they get enough public credit for how many troops they have saved with their close air support.
My brother flew one in the AF and I've heard plenty of instances besides from the veterans I'm friends with.
One brother Navy and dad Army.
Everyone says they need to go but I don't think so.
Hopefully with the increase in the military budget their new wings have come about that were so badly needed.
Great stuff. Keep them coming. Those two pilots are the bad-asses. 💪😎🇺🇸
‘Veterans React’ is my favourite RUclips thing, ever!
Oh, so we're just not going to mention Iron Eagle.
The going to Florida to hit home for me. When I flew as a UH-60 crew chief and flying stateside going to get food was the best part especially when the PI bought.
Amazing video, love what your doing! Continue the great work!
I'm still with ya. signed AF buck sgt.
Hey guys thanks for the amazing content. It always helps me get through another day. You guys are amazing. Stay safe and healthy brother.
Thanks for the support, we really appreciate it and love what we're able to do. Best to you and yours as well!
@@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany always brother I just found that you guys have products in the Bass Pro Shop here in Bossier City. Keep up all that you do for us. Love you guys.
“THE OCEAN WILL FUCK YOU UP!” #Marty man! One of my favorite epsisodes for sure Classic! And she’s gorgeous ❤️
I really
Thank you men , fore your service ^^
Petition for a drunk military history lesson in the real battle of Mogadishu by Mat Best
Bring on Jokco Willink, David Goggins, or Marcus Luttrell..That would be Cool
I would watch an hour long video like this.
My da was a USAF pilot 1950-1970. Most of his time was flying the F-86 & F-104. He's 92 and Old Man Time is taking it's toll, but once in awhile his eyes will clear and his gaze will settle on his pictures in the family room and you just know he's at the 45,000 ft ripping through mach 2.
Crazy this video came out days before Chuck Yeager died.
How about "The Deer Hunter" favorite line "This is this!"
A movie to review with a secret service agent would be "In The Line of Fire" with Clint Eastwood
RIP BGen Chuck Yeager
One of my favorite episodes so far!
I just recieved your coffee for the first time. I'm hooked quicker than a Pfc in a Camero at 23% interest.
We hope you'll be just as hooked to our amazing content that's dropping tomorrow!
@@skimask5049 I did briefly look I to it about the kenosha shooter's the affiliation with black rifle. As to my knowledge there is no evidence pointing to them supporting to take guns away from people. In my opinion it seems they didnt want to make a profit or seem like they were about making money off of the the incident involving Kyle wearing their brand t shirt.
Also walmart is far left and i still shop there.
Black rifle has damn good coffee and i see no unethical actions on their part. So they will get my business. Unlike some veteran companies like WWP with corrupt leadership
They should have reacted to the movie Midway
1976 version please.
the new one is a CGI mess. That's why i'm not getting my hopes up for the new top gun. They really dont make them like they used to
Tora Tora Tora was a much better Pearl Harbor movie.
And a reaction to the F14 scenes in The Final Countdown would be nice to hear.
Really good reaction video guests & clips 👏🏻
This was awesome. More Aerial films, please!
Id watch the full uncut
' that's an airplane that'll definitely bring you home" that story would have been interesting
The A10 is such an awesome plane!
Agree with the "uncut" idea - longer vids would be epic!
That's the Right Stuff!
Hell yeah!
Need to cover the movie " The Dirty Dozen"
Pearl Harbor. Because "Knox" class frigates were around at the time. Their SM-2 launchers would have come in handy with the "Zeros" that's for sure.
Make, "The Ocean will fuck you up," t-shirts!!!!
YES!!! More Please!!
At 12:26, the German Luftwaffe were still being trained in F-104s out of Luke AFB when they filmed this movie, I think that was almost about the time they stopped doing that. But this is one of those training aircraft
Awesome story about the F4.
This is the best video you guys have done.
Always a good day when there's a new Veterans React video is out! These guys, should have reviewed MIDWAY. Also I'm totally for an hour long video
Rest in peace chuck yeagar
RIP Chuck
If I was a fighter pilot I'd go by my call sign everywhere.
Thank you for opening with Top Gun
What else would you open with?
@@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany Nothing else 😎 Top Gun hell yea
The right stuff: Its the f104 in the movie but it wasn't the f104 in reality. And actually he went not high enough which resulted in the flat spin
Love the Tim Montana shirt Priceless
R.I.P Chuck Yeager ! /salute
That little prop fighter in the Bond movie is a SIAI Marchetti.
I think we need these guys back or a mix up of former guests with different pairing and what about the Latrell brothers they would be good or mike Rutland would be good with dog movies
This was an awesome episode!
Love this series
Chuck Yeager
Will be with us forever
I was USAF 72-76. The F4 was the ultinate muscular fighter. Sexy, fast and deadly.
I read somewhere that some South African Airforce pilots made a (unsanctioned!) bombing run on a US carrier before the first Desert Storm. Apparently the US Navy decided to fare through South African waters and the pilots didn't want to let them cross unharrased. This was just as South Africa started to get out of the apartheid era, so we had an uneasy relationship - and the pilots had their pride to take care of. So this bunch took a DC-3 (which were still pretty much in general service in the sanctioned SAAF) and diverted their path from "general patrol" to "torpedo the US Navy". They probably saw the carrier group by chance when they decided to make a bombing run on the carrier, then high tail it back to base. So they did exactly that, but they weren't too far from the carrier group when they noticed two F-14's flying beside the old Dakota, their brakes fully opened and landing gear down as they tried to slow themselves enough to stay in formation! When they got back to base they had received a message from the USN thanking them for the vintage aircraft fly-by!
My Father was at Hickam during the Pearl Harbor attack.. he said the movie was accurate to his memory.
