He was friendly, but showed her no mercy. Sad she had to cut short rather than flying for a bit. It would've perfected the memory and given top bragging rights,
@@KutWrite yeah, but i think she felt just a bit too queasy at that moment. I imagine it’s very different being a passenger where you can just feel disoriented at the back but that would have no impact on the flight whatsoever vs being a “pilot.” But kudos to her, 9.6Gs! Wow! Bit envious too cuz flying in a fighter jet is my absolute dreaaammmm
Literally one of the best vids out there imo. Really get to see the raw speed and bsb on the low ground passes.... super amazing what these machines and the people who fly them are capable of doing
The the fastest she will ever get to 10k ft in her life. Props to her for not blowing chunks or G-locking. Hope she knows she physically has what it takes and not everyone does.
G-loc. Loss of consciousness. Nothing locks. And yeah absolutely. She seems high energy so its pretty clear she's in an excellent state of physical health which probably contributing to her performance. She also has a short neck, which is another good characteristic of someone who can handle their G's.
Haha! He had no mercy on her and she took it. Sad she had to cut it short though. Flying it for a bit would've been a great memory and bragging rights.
As a civilian, I took a ride out of Shaw AFB, Sumter, SC with the 79th FS, tail 91-468, a Block 50. In fact, it could have been in this same jet as I keep hearing references to Shaw, and Shaw has a Runway 22, which was the departing runway. In order to fly in the F-16, I was given a training course the day before to include Ingress/Egress, Life Support and Hang and Harness. This training included the complete outfitting of a G-suit and a custom fitting for the helmet and oxygen mask. In this video, for the first couple of minutes she is fighting with her oxygen mask and seemed unprepared to arm the ejection seat, both suggesting that she somehow skipped the training. Anyhow, it was great flight and brought memories of my flight. BTW, I did a similar departure to 15,000 ft with an Immelmann, then offshore where we went supersonic, pulled a few G's and flew low and fast. A couple of years later, I flew a KC-135 refueling mission out of Seymour Johnson AFB, which included the refueling of F-15E Strike Eagles. That was awesome as well. These pilots are all great!
@@antimonyparadox6996 I understand, but I also understand that maintainers also qualify for an incentive flight. My pilot flew twice that day, me in the morning and a maintainer in the afternoon. I talked to my pilot a couple of days later and he said the maintenance man handled it like a champ.
When he told her to pull a lever just after she said her helmet wasn't working I figured she'd be taking the quickest route back to the hangar to get a refit via ejector seat 😅
That was so much more visual due to the clouds. Really captured the sense of speed.. stunning video.. and OMG .. she did great. Very brave and persevered right to the end !!👏👏
"What does that mean?" Somebody didn't get Egress training before their flight. Several flights at Shaw myself. I was aircrew at 9th AF Stan/Eval. A Herc guy. In the mid 90's.
Vigilance of the pitot towards the end of the video is impressive 'looking for concrete' etc I mean that was an experience watching that I can't even imagine what it felt like. Fantastic work all around including just superb engineering and production.
well, technically the seat would not be jettisoned since it was not armed at that point. however, if she had mixed up the levers when disarming after landing, they would have made the news.. :)
What a great video, she did great taking the G's... Her mask seemed to be in-correctly sized, (bayonet clips were bottomed out ),very loose shoulder straps and lap restaint. Flight equipment person really didn't do their job...there could have been a very bad outcome. Watch those yellow handles...what a great pilot, who gave her memories to last a lifetime. USMC E-4 1980-86 flight equipment / parachute rigger. Semper Fidelis. Take care, Be safe.
And it's still a childhood dream to be a jet pilot... I'm so happy for everyone who made it, they can be so proud of themselves to have one of the most exciting jobs on this Planet!
I never got a ride at Shaw but I got one at Luke. We flew the length of the Grand Canyon (above, not in it). I was not ready to go home and if we could have hit a tanker I would have kept going. Don't know who "Katie" is but not knowing how to arm the seat tells me she is not in maintenance. Rain mentioned neverending concern about the engine quitting. We had a pilot in the 79th that punched out with a crewchief in the back seat off the coast of Korea. He always told us he would never do another incentive ride. I miss my days in the greatest Air Force in the world.
"Those don't sound very friendly..." LOL! She did good. I had the great fortune to do 3 (or was it four, been too long)...worst was as chase (#2) on a LANTIRN sortie (our job was to watch lead so they didn't smack terrain - he was under the hood). Puked my guts out; hot day, negative-G. Ugh. But I STILL went back for more. On that first Viper ride, even with 2 bags of gas and 2 AGM-65's, the takeoff planted a smile on my face so hard it still hurts (40-some years later). People have no idea how physical this is. Good video.
Awesome 👏🏻. I had an incentive flight in a T37 as a cadet. It was awesome! I can only imagine how much more fun a Viper must be. Aim High baby!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
In more than capable hands with Maj Waters. Katie you are in top shape for sure. It's something you have to experience for yourself to understand how the strain just exhausts you so quickly. Major Waters, vous êtes un Chasseur pour sûr. Merci pour la balade. Continuez à atteindre les étoiles. 🇫🇷 ⚓ 🤙🏼
I actually gotta respect her there. She had the opportunity to take the stick, realized she was a bit queasy, and decided it'd probably be better not to.
Woooooow!!! How amazing is this lady? I could've bet she was gonna pass out, at the least. She didn't even lose consciousness not a bit. I've seen videos where the rider passed out, right after puking. I know I'd have done all of the above mentioned.
@@danielh1708 That's not true whatsoever. Men are taller which is where the old tale of women can handle vertical Gs better fable came out of. That's why the F-16 has a 30 degree slant backward in the seat. Further, men have more muscle mass in the abdomen to pressure hold blood. I hope you are not a physician.
Amazing that she took those Gs so well!! I know many a hairy chested men who would have tapped out waaaaayy before she did. Good on her to call it quits when she reached her limit. 9,6Gs?!? Wow. Well done Katie!
I love our country and the badass planes we build...this is an older jet but when it comes to new jets and technology the USA trumps everyone. Great video.
OMG! So much great banter in this video. You literally had my wife rolling on the floor Rain. (I'm not sure how I feel about that yet hah) The first that comes to mind is... Rain: "OK, we have two maneuvers left. The knife Edfe, and the Dedication Pass." Katie: "Those don't sound too friendly." Rain: "That depends on who your friends are." 😂🤣😂
Gran entrenamiento!!! El instructor mantiene una comunicación permanente, pregunta y alienta. Anticipa. Y brinda seguridad. Muy buen video. De lo mejor, para entender la fuerza aérea y la élite del pilotaje.
He asked if she wanted to fly and she said yea, and then he pulled unexpected g’s to get in position for the hand over as she’s coming out of a black hole trying not puke. He kinda screwed her on that I think.. other than that he was good
@@eheritage21: Yeah, he had no mercy on her the whole flight. More kudos to her than him. A gentleman would've eased into the harder maneuvers... as they probably did for him in flight school. He gets an A for skill and a C- for manners.
Excellent video. 9.6Gs is a lot. I used to pass out at about 7G, but very dependent on seat angle. Formation, the best! We even taxied in formation, doing S turns 'cos we were flying tail draggers most of the time. CAVU skies to all aviators. Must have moustache to be a fighter pilot, so maybe give the ladies an honorary stick- on- one. In the evenings, take the mess apart with lots of beer!! Once we were warriors.
“Don’t forget to tell me when to breathe”
“Oh, just keep on breathing, that’ll be a good thing period” 😂😂
Two thoughts: 1) Fighter pilots are absolute rock stars, and 2) she did a-m-a-z-i-n-g taking those Gs.
Better than I did!
If she can take Gs she can take Ds...
160...nah just kidding 450 ARE YOU READY TO DO THIS? .... I want to fly with this guy.

Poor girl.
The pilot has the GREATEST radio voice, fucking rock star in the front seat
I’m an retired F15 jetmac and I am still in awe of a F16’s. They just look fast and agile. The viper name fits.
Why are they called Viper or Falcon? I don't understand the different name uses.

@@ruzettedoroon9502: I agree on all counts.

She is a freaking rock star!
Between “Are you ready to do this”, and “We are passing 3000 to 10000” I barely had the time to blink twice.
Thought the same thing.. gear up and we're passing 3000... Lol

These videos are AMAZING!!!!!! This is my first time ever seeing anything like this, and now I’ve been watching for hours non-stop! TRULY AMAZING!
What a trooper she is. Just remember Smarter Every Day keeling over right away & the flight RTBing before the gopro even got warm.
Thank you Major John Rain Waters for a great familiarize flight well done with Katie on the ride
9.6 ! Wow and didn't even lose it. That's serious guts right there. Awesome to see your flight!
"Welcome to the 9G club"...love it. Giving fam flights seems super fun.
I like this guys attitude and approach🤞🏾.. he's just awesome..I'd fly with him..
Puns intended?
Katie did terrific! Pulling over 9 G's is a tough workout.
Who is she as ive no idea thank you
I used to fly forestry patrol around the Shaw AFB area. I loved seeing the F-16’s around the area.
Nice!

Magic take-off
Pilot talking to her at 9g. He's like what breathing technique 🤣. These guys are so used to this stuff its so awesome 👌
He probably does the 30 second 9G centerfuge training. Can find videos of it. They definitely have to use all their techniques for that.

hahaha, not wrong
The climb out hell yeah, playing with the angels in the blink of an eye.
It was amazingly quiet inside the cockpit!
Wow !! What a job hes got! Creds to Katie she was great!
When he asked her if she wants to fly and she refused, a part of me died. How could you deny that ?!

Whoever that pilot is, is so badass
mannn the take off was awesome.. game on 100knots 125 knots 150knots450knots and straight up...epicccccc..thoroughly enjoyed the video
Poor girl she’s doing what i been dreaming about all my life. Wow wow
I dont understand how they got up so fast considering she has some serious balls doing that kind of thing! Im amazed!
450 mph = 660 fps. Climbing to 10000 ft. at that speed takes about 15 seconds. Closest thing to an x-wing fighter!
they do high G training in centrifuge before boarding

Man you can really touch the sky ! what a view awesome !
Spectacular F 16 Fighting Falcon
Somehow this reminds me of an old JAG episode where the Admiral who flew backseat gets himself ejected from the F 14 after fidgeting with something.
AJ Chegwidden from JAG was messing with his seatbelt or mask and accidentally pulled the Ejection handle.
Bit of regret on her face for not giving flying a go at the stick... But props to her!! Well done and what an amazing opportunity!
