    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?

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.

  • @preacherF-15
    @preacherF-15 2 года назад +45

    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

    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.

  • @TheNinjaGinger
    @TheNinjaGinger 3 года назад

    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.

    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.
