He's so excited that he's inadvertently creating new gang signs.
Casey your excitement is so contagious
ElementXFit Subscribe awesome and thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! I’m British but right here is everything truly Great about the United States of America. A philanthropist furthering the growth of young minds in possibly the coolest way with the support of the the men and women of the USAF. There’s something about the need to give freely coupled with the power and might of the most powerful nation on Earth; that makes you feel humble and proud. Great job, Casey - inspiring the next generation is a real gift.
I’m humbled, honored, and inspired by your comment. Thank you!
vale molti più soldi!
The pilot was doing everything to make him puke. For most it wouldn’t take long. Good job hangin in there...
No, I don't think he wants puke in their multi-million dollar military jet.
@@mouthbreather280 barf bag my friend
TFlo yeah I know. But if the pilot was trying to make the guy puke, why would he risk him not being able to get it out in time and in 1 bad second of flight puke all of a sudden. There’s bags there, but no pilot is going to make it their mission to make the guy puke. That kinda grossness in a small enclosed space, no pilot wants to live through that until they can land.
Last thing pilot wants you to do is puke. Not good for anybody. They are doing what they normally do in the airplane. If the pilot wanted you to puke he could torture you far beyond what you saw here.
This is like watching porn. You get to see some1 else have fun
Jorekeishi 1st underrated comment of the year 😂
The pilot was clearly very experienced at giving intro rides. Alot of fighter guys are pretty quiet, but this guy was vocal, spoke to their passenger the whole time and kept them going. Super cool!
Love that line. “The faster you go, the faster you go faster”.
Finally, some proof that you did not pass out or puke! Way to go Bud!
Hairline's good for an extra 10 knots... haha best sendoff ever
"Ain't like dust'in crops, boy!"
....and that would end your trip real quick. HAHAHAHHAH! Nice.
What an amazing privilege to be able to fly with that team. Congratulations and keep up the great work on your channel!
Thank you!
"...because I was inverted" :D Too real! I would be grinning from ear to ear for about the next week! I must have watched this clip on your Instagram 20 times at least. Both my grandfathers were USAF pilots, one with 172 combats missions shot down twice over enemy lines. my Grandma was one of the first and most bad ass female pilots for the Women Airforce Service Pilots in the 40s. I hope to one day finish my pilots license, but there's something about Jets that just make me feel like I'm around family.
StereoSoundAgent that’s a fantastic story! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome what planes did they fly?
That excitement was next level and very contagious for some reason, I started jumping in my seat haha I was smiling the whole video! Thank you for taking us with you!
Absolutely awesome. Glad you're rolling out the footage. Still working on something to get us back out there
MtyMous spectacular! That would be fantastic!
6:42 the faster you go the faster it is to go faster... lmao. I love this channel!
4:45 so lucky, imagine getting controlls to just a simple little turn and feeling the plane lol
That Putsch boy ain't right.
Jokes aside I'm glad to find your channel. You're the best.
GB
Pastor Shawn great to have you!!
Oh Man! Loved this! As a private pilot and someone who teaches kids, this would be at the top of my bucket list of videos to do ❤️. I'll keep dreaming ❤️
I am infinitely jealous! Great people, true professionals.
I've finally gotten around to catching this episode, and just a few minutes into it I got a mild adrenaline rush of excitement that lasted all the way through the viewing. Then it dawned on me- this is far and away your best "ride along" video, right from the get-go.
Finally we can actually see the whole adventure thank you for posting this
ElementXFit Subscribe much more to come!!!
I enjoyed his enthusiasm. Like, he knew it was special to get to do that and he acted that way.
That was awesome. I remember, I was a crew chief on F-4E/D back in 1975-78. In 1978, I had a chance to transfer to Nellis AFB to be a crew chief for the Thunderbirds. At the same time, I got an assignment to fly as a Flight Engineer on C-130E/H out of Little Rock AFB. Never regretted, it started my flying career, but I'd always wished that my first assignment would've been Nellis AFB instead of MacDill AFB. God Bless!!!
Very cool!
Casey, you are one hell of a lucky person.... all the best from Australia !!!
You lucky S.O.B.! The whole ride must have been the highlight of your life, but screaming through that canyon must have been the cherry on top!
Remind me why I'm sat at home on RUclips when there's awesome stuff like this to be done in the world. :)
I have a Lamborghini that does 140 mph
Thunderbird pilot, haha that’s nice. Hold my beer.
I have been waiting for this video since the VinWiki! Thank you Casey!
AEC Media more coming soon!
Great video, awesome to see your enthusiasm for the experience!
Thanks! I intended to have all the fun we all dream of having if the opportunity presents itself. I hope you enjoy this video and the ones to come and will share them too.
Casey. That was awesome!
Absolutely epic! So glad to find your channel!
Thank you! I hope you subscribe!
At 6:09 - 6:22 likely "Star Wars Canyon".... entrance is from the west as jets from Nellis and Edwards do a S thru the canyon passing Father Crowley overlook on the right
Two of my favorite things fighter planes and super cars
You guys are the best! I would pay a million bucks for a flight with you guys. Thank-you for your service.👍🇺🇲🇨🇦👍✈️
LOL, love his enthusiasm. You go bud!
Epic. No other words needed
That was some serious maneuvering. You handled that like a champ. I am so jealous, what a ride of a lifetime!
Thank you! It was incredible.
LOVE the energy. My jealousy is diminished by how excited he is. Lucky sob :)
This video is great! Thank you youtube recommends!!
Every time an ad popped up, I realized I was still smiling - the entire time - I was grinning from ear to ear.
Am so envious!
I was stationed at Creech way back in the day, when it was called Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field.. I was with the 4460th Helicopter Squadron. We had to monitor underground nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site, as well as Search and Rescue and Range Management for Red Flag exercises. It was an awesome assignment! The Thunderbirds practiced their shows over our base twice a day 5 days a week, from November until March. I got my incentive flight with the T-Birds in 1986. One of the best moments of my life, as I had wanted to be involved in aviation since I was 6. I had my student pilot's license before I got my student driver's license. I graduated a year early from high school so I could join the Air Force at 17, and since then I have worked on business jets, 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, as well as King Hussein of Jordan's L-1011, the Sultan of Brunei's 747, and a Saudi prince's 737. I am now retired, but I miss working on them every day. Glad to see you had a blast on your flight! They truly are a class bunch of people, from the maintenance people to the Commander. Only the best of the best can be a Thunderbird. GO AIR FORCE!
Awesome, loving it! "We're going to the moon" 😂 There are so many civilian ride along vids in the US, it's so cool that they take you up! Here in the UK it's just not allowed sadly. Thanks for sharing 😎👍
Thank you! Yes, we are very fortunate to get to do this.
It's allowed in France, lol.
@@eliharman Rafale? 😂🚀💺
its allowed in the UK.. same as "CCW" equiv is technically legal here in canuckistan. That sadly does not mean the asshats in charge all authorize either
WOW. What an organization!! And that was some ride you had!
I was out there when they flew the T38s. The old building not the new one you were in. (Been awhile)
Best episode yet!🏁
Wing-rockin' action! Good ride!
had me smiling just as much as you Casey. dam what a rush.
Awesome ride!
you went thru the jedi transition. thats fuckiing awesome!! you deserved it dude. you appreciated that.
Thank you! Yeah, Star Wars Canyon was awesome! Also an F117 went through that day too. No joke...
@@CaseyPutsch The F-117 was actually spotted in 2019 though it was retired I think in 2008
Great video! How did you get so lucky to where you get to ride with the Thunderbirds??
My ultimate dream since I was a kid!
THUNDERBIRDS FTW!
Very awesome. In the Viper Petrolicious video I saw the Thunderbirds decal which lead me to your channel. Huge Thunderbirds fan since I was a little child since my grandfather was a member of the Thunderbirds in '57-'58. He would have approved of this video.
Great to have you and thank you for sharing your story on the Thunderbirds and your grandfather. Those must have been some great years!
@@CaseyPutsch thank you and also...great channel!
I spent 6 years in TAC working on the Huns before you were born. Good to see the patch once in a while.
A true role model! Glad I subscribed! I wish i had a mentor like you
Well I'm honored you are here! That what the channel is for!
Really enjoyed the video. , You were Having a ball for sure and a rock star with the G-pull's. I've done some aerobatics in WW II aircraft but that would be my absolute fantasy ride for sure but alas not available to us mere mortals lol
Well than you for your kind words! I've been up in a couple B17s but never a WWII fighter. Would be great!
When men or women of the military thank you for your contribution you know your on the right track! Awesome video
I appreciate and thank you for saying that. Cheers!
this. well done.
I am so jealous. That's something I'll never get to do. Good job sir.
Fly, fight and win. Go airforce. BMT May 1984 3701st.
That's a dream come true right there.
"The faster you go the faster you go faster" 😂
Spectacular!
You handled that very well. And they let you take the controls for a bit. Not many in this world will ever be able to say that. You sure can see how agile the F16 is. You sneeze and you're upside down. Nice video.
What a champ this guy!!!! WILD!
I got an “incentive ride” in an F-16 when I was in the Air Force, it was the most amazing thing I’d ever experienced, and while the pilot did everything he could to make me puke he was unable to do so, he was however very much able to make me pass out, it brought new context to the word blackout. It was tunnel vision and then god hit the light switch. I’d do it again in a heartbeat
Awesome!
Very cool, what a blast that had to be.
Outstanding!
Casey you are the man
Casey's having a blast!
Didn't realize you had a channel, great to see this full vlog on that experience. Kudos on how you handled that 9g pull and not going rag doll.
Thanks for sharing this experience, and looks like I got some content here to fill my down time with your channel.
Really happy to have you! Thanks, it took everything I had to hang on in that F16, but totally worth it to hang with the best men and women in the Air Force. I think you are gonna love the variety of videos I have coming!
i will never ride a roller coaster but id absolutely go up in one of those jets if ever given the opportunity, that looks so insanely fun.
That is the coolest flight I have ever seen! You are the luckiest person alive!!
I'm really glad you liked it!
Go USAF! My uncle was a fighter pilot in Vietnam multiple tours, multiple awards. He would be thrilled to have had someone so excited! Thanks to all the flyboys and crews that keep them in the air and us safe. My dad was as well and nothing gave him greater joy than someone who loved to fly. God Bless
Thank you! My great uncle flew F4s in Vietnam. He sure got a smile from watching my videos. This was truly the greatest honor fo my life. I was ready to make the most of it!
Way to go Air Force the Best pilots in the World Thunderbirds for ever, Ret Air Force Aero Space Rescue & Recovery 67th ARRS.
OMG you rock, dude!
Nice Filming, Thanks.
What a ride !!!!
2:22 remember folks, don't skip leg day.
Got one ride in an old B model Viper over Arizona. Got another over Korea some years later. Neither were in Thunderbird jets but both are memorable.
I've seen/heard the word Viper being thrown around quite a bit when referring to the F-16 the last decade or so. I grew up referring to this aircraft as the Fighting Falcon, was there an official name change when Lockheed Martin absorbed the aviation division of General Dynamics? Or is it more like the Warthog nickname for the A-10 Thunderbolt II?
@@XXformula The F-16 was unofficially known as the Viper before the Air Force gave it it's official name Fighting Falcon. The Air Force did not want one of it's front line fighters named after a snake so they held a naming contest. But, even today, all these years later, you will almost never hear a pilot refer to it as anything but a Viper. Maintenance is about 50/50.
@@billr.1230 Thanks for the info man, been a huge aviation enthusiast my whole life and the F-16 has always been one of my favorites but never found a definitive answer on that one. I grew up a stones throw away from an ANG base that used to have a squadron of Fighting Falcons, those afterburners at night were always a treat to see. Unfortunately about 10 years ago they transferred that fighter wing to another base in Texas I believe and brought over a squadron of A-10's which are cool in their own way but just don't have that wow factor in my opinion.
One very lucky guy!
One time RUclips algorithm did something great just subscribed to your channel...great content 🇺🇸
Welcome to Las Vegas...let's go for a ride.....3 2 1....see yah !
Takes him through the canyons! 6:15 So cool! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Why don't you take us all the way around. 6:31
Alright, going left.
Nicely done.
Casey just got some props from a Thunderbird because the aileron roll? he did was so sharp. (I do not know planes or their maneuvers) That must of been one of the best moments of his life.
As always great video.
Thanks! I hope you'll share it!
This is such an awesome video and I bet an even better experience! Did you get the chance to meet Thunderbird 5 (flip upside down) Matt Kimmel?
Thanks for the comment. I met him in passing. There was approximately 140 personnel that were parts of the greater Thunderbird team and I met a lot of people those couple of days! All were very impressive.
Casey Putsch he’s my cousin so I think it’s awesome you got to experience it! We saw them perform at Travis Air Force base in Fairfield, Ca. His hometown flight.
"Welcome to Mos Eisley space port " LOL
Literally the place they filmed the original Mos Eisley scenes....
Love this!
Best civilian passenger video ever!!!
Thank you!!
Awesome
Still the most beautiful jetplane in existence.
Omg your soo lucky I was an air cadet and ever since all I have wanted is to fly again in any capacity. Howether my absolute dream would be to fly in a fighter jet
Beautiful! That's a share
love this
So awesome. I would try by best to have this privilege one day as well !
Wish I could thumps up twice on this one.
Gettin back in that Ferrari was probably a bit of a let down. Bet you were thinking "Where's the afterburner on this thing!?"
You are so lucky. I would love that. That’s better than any roller coaster . I wanna fly. That is awesome . I love it. Nice car also.
"I think I entered another dimension!"
These guys are wicked cool.....but because I had Marine and Navy veterans in my family I am partial too the Blue
Angels.....but anyone
Who can drive one of these things no matter what branch your are in is just hats off way cool respect.....and all of you heard this before
But it does bear repeating .... thank you for your Patriotism to our Beautiful America and thank you for your service....
Soooooooo gnarly!!!
