You can always go for cheap stuff but more often than not, it will fail on when you need it the most. Always go for high value quality, it will be cheaper in the long run. That doesn’t mean you cannot bargain during purchase.
This is definitely in my top 10 favorite videos. What a time to be alive. I’d normally have to try and fail repeatedly to strike up a conversation with a crusty aviator at an air show for this info.
Thank you for the continued videos and helping fuel motivation. Have already completed my AFOQT and the TBAS and should be ready to start applying before the end of the year. Finishing my degree has been a real challenge but just a means to an end goal. Thankfully surrounded by good mentors that are also pushing me and even took me to the sim pits on base and said I handled it like a natural. Also thankful to have flight supervision and commanders knowing my goals and ready to put in their recommendations after I put in my part of the work.
I love the professionalism of this gentleman. He is super clear in his explanations and gives us an idea of what he does but still without revealing any sensitive information. For example the analogy of the pizza shops for the Helmet mounted display was genius, it gave us an idea but didn’t give away anything really
Great channel Hasard! Us older guys has passed our chance to become fighter pilots, still cool to live our fighter pilot dreams vicariously through your stories. I also augment that by flying RC planes from the cockpit using head-tracking FPV cameras. The F-35 helmet mounted displays are similar to flight info displays on our goggles - OSD - on screen display. I find canopy frame like the one on F-35 hampers formation flying and dog fight performance because it blocks views of lead/bogie at times. Do you find that comparing the frameless canopy F-16 vs the F-35?
The ice pack solution is brilliant. Sometimes simple is best. At work some people have a very expensive in van computer holder. To save on space. I tie computer via handle to steering wheel with chord. Job done😃
Hazard, you should do a video about the preparations and lead up events before a deployment overseas, and what it’s like during that flight for many hours. Your videos are great to watch and provide a lot of insight, thanks.
Bremont alt1z, Starts at $5795.00. Exactly why I bought the nylon wrap watchband at Army surplus for my 10yr anniversary watch from Schneider National Carriers,Thank You!🤓
Hey Hasard, I'm curious about something. I flew the F-15c with the 43rd tfs out at Elmendorf, oh so long ago...far before augmented reality. When you're in the mode that lets you look "through" the jet, doesn't that lead to spatial disorientation/LOC scenarios? I'm thinking at least partially of the F-104 accident rate because pilots couldn't catch even a glimpse of the leading edges of their wings, except in rearview mirrors. I'm assuming you can cycle through this mode quickly, which may alleviate the problem, and of course...practice. But I'm curious, as looking around and seeing only sky seems simultaneously disconcerting and cool as hell! Thanks brother
I’m no expert but I believe the helmet is synced up the the TGP/EOTS on the nose which means if you turn your head enough you should be able to see the wings along with other parts of the plane.
Of course we are only interested in what you carry when going out for a combat situation.. I think its a must for a fighter pilot to wear a watch...just in case you loose your plane behind enemy lines..
What about something to snack on like an energy or protein bar? I'd also include something like a mini altoids tin with maybe a few ibuprofen, antacid pills like Tums, allergy tabs,.
Hey Hasard great 👍 video , thanks for the tips , some details make all difference and we do look for flight gear for years !!! Keep up the great channel 👌
Combat gear checklist would be a great video as well. Survivor gear, weapon, MRE,and location beacon ,etc. Would be really neat to see what protocol is if you lose aircraft behind enemy lines and have to bail.
So the idea of the jacket on the B model is if the jet is in VTOL configuration and the lift fan behind the cockpit were to fail the nose would suddenly drop and most likely the arms fly up so you would be able to grab the ejection handle so if the jets sensors detect the fan has failed it'll pull your arms in and punch you out the jet without even thinking about it and the next thing the pilot will know is he's already out the jet.
I was looking forward to a demonstration of the helmet's abilities in greater depth. The ability to look through the aircraft superstructure is an amazing visual aid, however uncomfortable it may be? I am guessing that you can select between modes very rapidly for your needs?
Hasard Sir. I know that space is at a premium in your cockpit. Where do you store a bag and a water bottle ( or several) when you are maneuvering around? I can’t imagine the F-35 has a built in water cup holder! Also, if you fly to another base for training for a few days, where do you store your bag? Has to be in the bomb bay, right? Again, I can’t imagine that it comes with room for an overnight bag in the cockpit.
Ice packs were my excuse to keep myself cool at school. I did this in Grade 5 and stopped as the school secretary found out why and gave me a bandage instead or just told me to walk it off. 😂😂
Nice vid but you really need a proper aviators’ watch. I fly with the old version of the Breitling Emergency but there are also great mechanical Breitling watches, one day I hope to buy the Navytimer. Cheers!
I have to say I’m really enjoying your videos. A quick question, do you wear the G suit if you’re just transferring from one base to another? Also don’t undervalue the importance of an accurate watch. If you have an instrument failure then your watch could become a vital piece like what happened to Apollo 13. I know you prefer just a plain water bottle but I suggest you check out the Camelpak water bottles as they are soft, insulated and have a safety valve.
Its kind of cool that the G's you pull don't screw up the watch's time measurements. Mechanical Self-wound Watches are one of the most under-rated technologies today.
If Hasard won't be breaking protocol I would like to know what goes into a COMBAT flight bag! I also have the Skillcraft multi-pen that I keep in my bag, I needed that red ink to highlight contract discrepancies.
How about food, weapons like a sidearm or an smg? I only ask because what if a fighter pilot falls behind enemy lines? What kind of survival kit stuff they carry with them?
idk why but i never thought about how helmet weight would effect how many gs you could pull, also i want that f-35 helmet so bad even just a cosplay version
I was a crew chief. I hated it , when an air crew , especially the wso, would drop their pen/ pencil in the cockpit. I would have to do extreme yoga to find it. Occasionally, we would have to remove the ejection seat. I can't tell you how many times I found a Rolex or other high end watch in the cockpits.
What are the lanyards for the feet? I can recall some early 50s/60s style of cable driven units which connected to the pilots heals. What is the best method used now. Flailing injuries sound truly horrendous.
What about the "endurance extension" devices, to help you deal with all of that water you've been consuming? Yeah, I know you probably sweat out a lot of it during all of the heavy maneuvering, but eventually, all of that water catches up with you. Has USAF deployed anything more sophisticated than the plastic bags with the powder? As an older pilot, I'm finding that my "range" ain't what it used to be. Looking for some good solutions. A couple of years back, I heard about a device called "AMXD", or something like that. It looked expensive, but I'd be willing to spring some serious bucks for something that did not require gymnastics, and might even be usable in a crew environment.
Is there a SOP for a downed pilot on what to do with that information on that iPad or knee board? Would any of it be sensitive or possibly useful if a pilot was down over hostile territory?

Hey that pencil will save your life just saying
@@bradbrandon2506 it can if you need to do quick math during combat.
@@herosjourney8725 and flight too
tbh, pens are a precious commodity in the military, and just like in school: "You let someone borrow it, it will disappear"
I like how it turned into a pen review
lol
Happened while writing the script ;)
I'm particular about my pens too, just not the same ones as in the video.
As a kid of the 90s mechanical pencils were everything. That mechanical pencil you showed would’ve gotten me major street cred 😆
I remember..u was a boss if you had a mechanical pencil in my middle school
In my book, mechanical pencils still get you major street cred.
Oh yeah. That and magnetic compass boxes. If you had both, you ruled.

I am a TACP/JTAC and you are right about making sure you can hear clearly everything I read for the 9 line brief.
Love the way the helmet allows the pilot to look through their aircraft. Absolutely incredible.
The ice pack solution is brilliant. Sometimes simple is best. At work some people have a very expensive in van computer holder. To save on space. I tie computer via handle to steering wheel with chord. Job done😃
That V5 pen I've used for years and years and years for art. It's non-gel ink so it doesn't jam and the tip is super fine point.
I’m surprised there are so many “3rd party” objects they are allowed to have.
It probably goes through security check first.
Steve so a lot of the 3rd party items are screened by security personnel. However a lot of them require them to be manufactured in the US.
but where is the bag stashed? in the cockpit? theres' hardly any room/ How about snacks?

Hazard, you should do a video about the preparations and lead up events before a deployment overseas, and what it’s like during that flight for many hours. Your videos are great to watch and provide a lot of insight, thanks.
So basically, every arcade game simulates an F 35 helmet, interesting, nice content as always!
It’s the other way around. First were the arcade games. Inspired by these, they designed the F-35 HMD content. 😎

Thank you for your service. Maybe I'll be seeing you on the other side somewhere around October but the Air Force is a big place!
I enjoy this channel so much, Hasard. The work you put into is very noticeable and commendable. Thanks for your service and this channel.
I was stationed at Kunsan from 04-05 for the army!!
Another great presentation, thanks Hasard!
These videos are dope! Thanks for taking the civilian into the plane with you!
ALOT has changed SINCE my A4M days w/VMA-214 76'-80'
No idea what else is left out but they carry an M-11 or sig p228 in combat or at least Navy pilots did if you were wondering about the sidearm.
Really enjoy the insight! Loving your channel too! Stay safe and thank you for your service!!!
What about something to snack on like an energy or protein bar? I'd also include something like a mini altoids tin with maybe a few ibuprofen, antacid pills like Tums, allergy tabs,.

Thank you for your kind information Harsard sir, from india 🇮🇳.
Does the F35 cockpit have a USB port for charging your iPad?
Very cool stuff, thanks for sharing!
Are the flight helmets personlised for your head shape, eye sight etc???
Yep, saw a video on this and they make a 3D model of the pilot’s head to make it fit perfectly and align the helmet to their eyes, etc.
Nice video man!!
The F 35 helmet looks badass as heck kinda like Darth Vader
