It’s insane how sharp the movements are when he rolls.
He's a rookie?
Exactly that mate. Amazing to see how the movements are instantaneously.
These airframes are so cool
Drones and UAPs will never be this cool
вы русские истребители не видели те зависают на месте .чем меньше скорость тем эфектней а это пилот 3 класса профан
The engineers that built these in the 70's were gifted, got it right so much that these jets are top of the line today.
That we know of.
they are amazing because of light weight coupled with advanced avionics and radar systems.....plus the best view cockpit of any Fighter...
Так уж и лидирующие?)
@@dhbroussard89 And a good thrust/weight ratio making it fast enough to sling missiles far, carry a huge load for its size or sustain high G turns. It is a magnificent peace of art!
Российским инженерам слава 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
I was a young man in the 80s, working in SF as a cabling contractor and had the pleasure of watching them training from a sky scrapers top floor window. It was so awesome ! I'm almost 60 yrs old and it'll always be a memorable moment of time. I could the pilots as they flew bye. 👍
Give me some wisdom cuz I don’t think I’ll live to to that long 🙏🏽 God bless you
@@jakee5059 not the actual thing though, it's really disappointing in VR.
@@jakee5059 VR?? 😂 You probably have a tamagotchi and call yourself a father.
Driving south to SD/ Miramar on the 15 freeway, "Song Number 2" by Blur began playing on the local radio station , lol " as he sang " got my head checked by a jumbo jet woo..hoo " some pilot obv from the local area flew over the freeway at extremely low altitude. He matched the song and lyrics with precision what jet idk f18 but it was a tremendous sound and sight he was flying so low he basically brushed the highway , because of the synchronicity style timing I never forgot
@@slaughtered777 if I were you, I'd slap myself silly to wake up.
These clips never get old. Be it a 5K foot climb or a 5 mile pass, it never ceases to amaze me how quickly these fighter jets can get from point A to point B.
Hows that 1940s prop airplane able to keep up with that jet?🤔
This is a simulator.
@@Ricobaca because the 16 slowed down... the 16 can stay in the air at 200 knots, well below the top speed of the prop.
@Ricobaca Some props were starting to get pretty fast for the time, P-51s, P-38s and others were capable of 350 - 450 or so. F-16 can easily maintain stable flight below those speeds
And these are relatively low speeds too. This whole clip is subsonic.
Thank God, my jet fighter flight sim has the correct cockpit sounds
What game are you running?
@@CarlosPerez-wt8ff obviously the better one, falcon BMS
@@Pekins Yes BMS the best!
God, I found myself (unknowingly) moving my joystick hand, the aileron specifically lol.
DCS for days son
Love the views from the glass canopy. Flying a fighter plane has to be about the most fun thing you could ever possibly do on this planet. Great video!
I flew the F16 and it has the best view of all fighters! It doesn't have a canopy bow like some fighters have. It's unrestrictive viewing. When I first started flying it, I was uncomfortable because I didn't feel like I was in an airplane. I felt like I was on an airplane. Then you LOVE it! Most F16 pilots felt the same way.
@@jster1963 fake news
I think is not fun, is just amazing and doing a duty as soldier.
@@jster1963 The A10 has pretty good visibility too, my dream is to eventually fly for the Air Force since my parents both spent 20 years. Hopefully someday I'll be flying the F16 or if I'm lucky enough the 35.
Maybe you are right, however its a demo show, a dogfight wouldn't be a pleasure
This is exactly where the camera needs to be when fighter pilots film themselves. Gives a great perspective. Thanks for the video man
where can i download this game, the graphic is outstanding
Ничего боевого он исполнить не сумел, у меня даже дрон летает лучше
Thank you thank you thank you. I so enjoyed hanging on your left shoulder for this flight over the bay. Although I eventually became a pilot flying 6 different fixed wing planes, my life took a different path and would never get the chance to fly a jet as this. Thanks for leaving all the real sounds of this flight with no chatter. This is absolute gold for me.
1:10
Mad props for resisting the urge to fly under the Golden Gate bridge
How sad, that it could be done in complete safety, but would be viewed as "crazy." The bridge is how high above the water? LOTS of room....
Yes would be cool but would also be the end of his flying career indefinitely 😂😂
@@portnuefflyer There is plenty of room beneath the Bridge under ideal conditions, i.e. fair weather with good visibility, but if there was zero chances of an in-flight mishap then there would never be accidents involving training flights over uninhabited areas adjacent to air bases in the U.S. involving both jet aircraft and helicopters. There is never 'complete safety' when flying near urban areas. In 1982, an Air Force B-52 bomber was practicing a combat takeoff from Mather AFB, just outside of Sacramento CA. It crashed into a nearby field after witnesses said the pilot appeared to point the aircraft away from populated areas before the plane went down. All nine crew members were killed.
Repent to Jesus Christ
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV
U
There was one year the blue angles did a solo under bridge. That was before the safety qqqq
IN MY VIEW
The surrounding glass makes the pilots view spectacular. His take off and landing could not possibly be any smoother. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I bet everyone on the ground and in the boats are enjoying the show this pilot is displaying over the Bay.
Factual factual
Yes
I would be for sure!
Thanks captain obvious
No. They’re hating it.
This was such a COOL video. Went full screen and I imagined myself as the pilot. I've always wanted to do this since I was a kid. I love the fact there was no sound but the jet.
Absolutely. Music would have ruined this.
Music, talking & radio silence made for perfect video just enjoying the ride from screen
All the people out on the water and shore got a hell of a show!
This is AMAZING! I've always wondered what it's like to be in one of those, and this is more impressive than what I would have imagined. Thanks!!!
I think for 30 grand, you can go to some countries in Eastern Europe that let you fly some MiG-29 or even 25 for 30 minutes that includes physical checks and training.
@@theprinceoftides6836 Better than nothing, maybe, but still not an F-16... The F-16 is the one and only in my eyes, but it is true that at least some years ago you could go to Moscow and fly a MiG-25 I think. Maybe even a MiG29, but that isn't quite the same.... I'd opt out.
I was standing at one of the observation points on the Marin side of the Golden Gate Bridge (Battery) when he was making his passes. At several points, he was actually LOWER than we were!
Beautiful sound... beautiful aircraft.
Thank you for letting us ground huggers fly along with you.
You can actually feel the skies thunder from the camera's own audio register coming from behind the jet
Amazing surreal feeling
As a tie fighter pilot I respect this. Very similar in the precision maneuverability of your fighter.
Just can't take off independently ...
To summarize, this pilot has the greatest job in the world and I am so far past jealous I can't put it into words.
Amen
I wonder how many times during this show he thought.... Should do a low pass under the Golden Gate now while we are at it...?! :D It will be his last trip, but he'll make headlines on his way out.
Could not agree more
Quand tu rentres dans l'armée, tu ne feras jamais le meilleur métier du monde.
Tu obeis aux ordres et tu fermes ta gueule, bref tout ce que la vie déteste.

What a ride! I never get tired of watching these videos! Thank you!
Well done! Absolutely brilliant!! One of my favorite cities (like 15 years ago)
Unobstructed is an understatement when it comes to the view out of the canopy of an F16
Jeez you can almost feel the stress on that airframe.. amazing watching that thing beat the air into submission
I love it when he's flying formation with the P-51 he never takes his eyes off of the P-51. Amazing concentration and training. God Bless our Troops!!
I flew the F16 in the late 1980's and early 1990's and when you're flying "close/fingertip" formation, 99.99% of your concentration in on the plane you're flying formation off of. Every now and then you glance in to check your fuel state, but it's like taking a picture and then remembering what the gage read. He did an outstanding job!
@@jster1963 what was the buttons he was typing at the towards the end. It’s like a key pad in the center not sure what that’s for?
@@crandonborth That system is called the Up Front Controller. It controls many things that appear in the HUD, but what you saw is him changing radio frequencies. Most frequencies that we use day to day are pre programed. However, this is not his local flying area, so he has to manually type the frequency and then tell it to switch. That is an F16C and I started in the F16A. The "A" didn't have the Up Front Controller and we had to use our left hand on a lower panel to do what he did. I'm glad we switched to the "C" model. I hope this helped....
@@jster1963 I’m sure some of this technology is dated... I could only imagine what we have today but still very cool.
@@crandonborth So true! However, they continually update the avionics and the engines. The highest tech version I flew was the F16C Block 30E. The reason the don't change the "C" is because it would be classified as a different airplane. And if it's a different airplane, there are TONS of hoops that have to happen in congress, and the funding is like funding a new plane. The "work around" is changing the Block designation. They can totally change everything about how every system works, but it's still considered an F16C. When I got out of active duty, they were on Block 50. Who knows what they have now......
What an amazing pilot, what skill. I once was a passenger that flew under the Golden Gate Bridge in a helicopter, seeing this brought back memories of how amazing San Fran is.
Vids like these just go to show how good you have to be to fly high performance fighters like these!! I’ve always had so
Much respect for these boys and girls!!!
While serving as M. P. security at Moffett Field in early 90s, I was fortunate to have the Blue Angels publicity officer offer each of us short (4 minute ) rides with them. I jumped at the opportunity and it was amazing. The pilot was just a few years older than I was, which blew me away. The best part was when we landed and they thanked us for the job we were doing. Made me feel really special.
So amazing that he makes it look so easy. Yet, it takes a special type of person to fly these machines, not only physically but psychologically.
0:35 All the folks on the starboard side of that JetBlue flight getting an awesome view of the Viper. Tough luck to the people on the other side 😂
I can only imagine how upset they were😂
Wow💯With a large flat screen & a Bose sound system you really feel like your in the cockpit!I don’t know how these pilots do it but it’s amazing!!!!
Damn! Thx for the taking us with you. On some turns, I was literary expecting a black-outs and red outs coming. Ans seeing a P-51 in the reflaction of your visor - that is a grate picture!
Awesome! Outstanding flying! Great show for all those below and us viewers as well. Beautiful. Thanks for the great ride! 👍😃❤️❤️❤️
This is so cool. Thank you for sharing your memories with us. Worked with a fair few of the US. Can say great people who can kick ass. God bless you mate and God Bless your country mericaaaaaaaa!!!!
@13:00 after the max performance climb when he levels out and you can all of the sudden see, like, half the entire bay because he's climbed 3-4 thousand feet less than 15 seconds. That has to be the coolest feeling.
Amazingly clear view all round through that canopy. Compare that with what Spitfire pilots could see from the cockpit - especially when taking off and landing with the nose up.
So close to the P-51 that you could hear the engine sound. Amazing job.
да я тоже был удивлён увидеть Мустанг,😊 машина герой второй мировой войны.
Greetings from Denmark! We've had the F16 as the only Fighter Jet in service over 50 years! And next year, we'll get the new F35.
Excited to see what the amazing pilots will be able to accomplish with it.
مرحبا
هل انته في الدنمارك
We need more videos like this! Already watch them all.
Impressed by the cleanliness and clarity of the cockpit dome.
Except for the bug on your screen at 12:27
Excellent demonstration. I really loved the reflection of the P-51 in the Major's visor.
same
Best in-flight demo of the F-16 I've seen.👏👏👏
You are so bless of having this great opportunity in life.
Born in 83' when I was 2 I started to dream of being A Fighter Pilot when I got older. That didn't happen! Respect to you Sir.
So what happened?
I almost sprayed my tea at 16:47 when that P51 seemingly appeared outta nowhere and crossed in front of the canopy at point blank range. Felt like a sequel to Final Countdown. 😉
wow, a final countdown reference. badass!!! and thanks for the timestamp!!!!!
The F16 flying so close next to the Mustang is awesome.
я сначала не поверил что в кадре появился P 51 😊
This is the best cockpit POV video I've seen
Those turns are insane!
I could imagine?
I imagine every demo flight has to include a moment of clarity/mindfulness where you think "holy shit, I'm really doing this." Flying over a few million people in a matter of seconds must be one of those times and a very memorable one at that. I'd like to hear a play by play from the pilot. Maybe I'm wrong and all he wants to do is land and go take a nap.
Im thinking the same thing. Im sure most of them do realize as they are doing it.
I think it just becomes routine.
@@Mike-01234 I think making it a routine is literally what it is, but I know what you mean. In that case the mindfulness will hit with an overwhelming feeling of regret and helplessness when they realize "holy shit, I'll never (be able to) do that again."
@@Mike-01234 Just because something becomes routine doesn't for one second preclude a person from occasionally needing to pinch themselves as a reminder that they are not dreaming.
@@Biggz831 you oi7trjoi7yyde
WOW.... look at the climb rate in that F-16 just incredible.... outstanding....
So cool grew up in the 80s watching iron eagle and top gun. F-16 and F-14 my favorite fighter jets
You talking about a professional you talking about somebody shop is right in front of you right on your dial that's the best I've seen so far I got is one friend of mine you know how to stop the plane in the air but you doing a great job soldier love your work
Thanks for the share! SF Fleet Week is one of the last great things about San Francisco.
A great demo and I love it. He is one of American top gun pilots.
Amazing. Intersting fact. More time has passed since the F-16 was first flown to now then from when the P-51 was first flown to the F-16.
that pilot is amazing so cool and calm thanks for the experience
So different than the aerobatics I'm used to. The F-16 is so much more agile than I ever dreamed.
They have been upgrading them.
I'm so excited just watching this man manuever this awesome aircraft
I know every inch of the city and watched these many times. First time I see things from top to bottom.
Absolutely insane. I live in San Francisco. I've seen the Blue Angles show many times but always wondered what it looked l like from the pilots perspective, without the G forces, and crossing the city in only 10 or 12 seconds. No problem with traffic. He flew over my house.
Amazing how he can go from 500 feet to almost in orbit in ten seconds
That was absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing!
@ 0:42 ish...when he waves to both the jetBlue and Citation flights - Priceless
Even though it's a demo flight, it's like he is saying "Thank you for holding" ...and ...."Oh, I got your back" - both at the same time.
You know what’s even more incredible? …my birthday is on the back of his helmet 😍😍🎊🎊🙏🏾…great flying👍🏾🚀
WOW LOOPING maneuvers, TONNEAUX, tight turns inverted flight and spin descents with steep climbs. Nice video 😀👍
Amazing video. Looks like it takes a lot of concentration flying along with the P-51 with your distance and speed calculations.
That was absolutely amazing .
Looks like an easy job! Fly around and practice all day
Two favourite planes, one reaching top speed, while the others reaching stall speed...😄
Been there by coincidence, bought a frontrow seat ticket and was amazed by the whole show that this is allowed (im european) 😃 best experience in SFO
Nederlander.....
Eh? We have air displays in Europe?
Granted they’re not as bad-ass as some of the US ones, but what we’re seeing here is pretty much normal flying for some of the aircraft at our local display 🤙🏻
That cockpit is out of this world!
Dear John / "Rain",
to me, this still is my favourite of your videos from your various F-16 displays; and Thank you so much for sharing all this!
The combination of all the stunning maneuvres while spectators "peeking over your shoulder" can (try to) keep orientation due to the iconic landmarks of San Francisco Bay is awesome.
Though not most spectacular at first glance maybe, these quarter rolls shifting tons of weight within a split-second but ultra-precise accuracy are amazing (and for sure also essential for the agility in dogfight situations besides sheer engine power).
Well, having read that you're on the 777 Cargo now, for some entertainment (and that of anyone else outta here), please find displays in equally breathtaking environment from recent "ZigAirMeet 2023" in Mollis / Switzerland / Europe. On RUclips there's good mix of videos with numerous fighter birds (including Viper and Hornet); however, for some reason 😉, I've chosen that one with the Eurofighter Typhoon as per link below:
Best Sounding Eurofighter Typhoon Display in the Swiss Alps feat. EPIC Vertical Climb Take Off!
ruclips.net/video/Jfk3BYOJON8/видео.html
Getting back to your former "home-turf", there's also video with a fascinating F-16 display from Belgium Airforce during this event.
Kind of "Now it's showtime" and very funny to me is this "ass-wiggling" (oops, "tail-wiggling", of course 😉) `dancing´ scene with the mountain in the back. Never seen s.th. like that before and not sure how this maneuvre is called, but "Salsa" or "Cha Cha Cha" might nicely fit here 🤣.
Best regards from good'ol Europe!
Wow! Another great video Rain. I’m starting to realize you’ve done some very impressive flying in some of the coolest locations.
Is doing the show over water more challenging at all?
They definitely present some different challenges. All the maneuvers are done on a 500’ or 1500’ line away from the crowd. At an airport it is usually a taxiway or runway. Easy to see. On the way it is usually a boat or buoy. The boat is pretty easy but the buoys can be tough.
Very badass, Major. Sir ! 🇺🇸
I never ever get tired of these videos.
I like this camera view, reminds me in the Jane's Combat Simulator
I remember when a former Air Force pilot who was flying for an airline company. He was talking about one airport where they had a requirement for the jets to take a relatively sharp turn while climbing. I believe it was due to a noise abatement procedure at the airport. The pilot liked it. He said this is how planes should be flown. Passengers may not like feeling the stronger than normal g -force they will feel.
When you flew into the old Hongkong airport you could see into peoples living rooms
Awesome 👏 video! To all the Women and Men of the US Air Force thank you 🙏 for your service 🇺🇸
The one of best videos about the fly that i've seen so far.
Great job. Sick formation flying!
The most awesome demo I’ve seen. Absolutely want to be a pilot now. Shame it’s too late for me 😂
I had wanted to be a pilot when I was in junior high school. But my nearsightedness started kicking in during high school.
@@Rhaspun i have farsightedness yet i still wanna become a pilot, just make an appointment w ur eye doctor and learn about glasses/contacts
@@angelinasa1031 Jet fighter pilots are required to have good vision without glasses or contacts. I have a pilots license but I need to wear my contacts or wear glasses. I've been wearing contacts for decades.
@@Rhaspun yikes, that’s too bad. sorry to hear that.
@@Rhaspun look into PRK eye surgery
To be signed up to do this to defend is awesome oppurtunity on it's own,but then to be asked to just go out and fly it like its stolen has to be the best job ever.
"defend"
@@moussakamal1633
Ok, thats exactly what is spelled ?.
@@theaceofspades485 it's not your spelling. By my guess, they're making a political insinuation of some sort or arguing that's not the right word.
@@moussakamal1633 your country must have been on the receiving end of these jets I assume🤣😂
@@yacobz Yeah now that you pointed it out I can clearly see it.
He isn't wrong. It's a multi role fighter. It defends and attacks. ;)
I remember this fleet week... I was there for art school and its a pretty wild week I must say.
This 70 year old Grandma would LOVE to take a ride!
What a sensational experience!
Love these videos.
Absolutely love the wave and thumbs up to the commercial and private jets waiting for take off. Class act - respect all around
I bet tha those pilot's were figther pilots
“Look at all those people down there, they look like ants”
“They are ants, we’re still on the runway!”
No music, no fish eye, no 360 cam. Perfect.
That’s some amazing flying, Major.
Pilot vision in the viper is unmatched.
This is the only reason I would ever want to be in San Francisco
It's worse than the F-35 by far. F-35 pilots can see through their planes due to the helmet technology
Man imagine getting to not only say "this is my office" but getting paid to do it too - living the dream right there, awesome stuff! 👏
I test them ladies and gentlemen touchdown that is the best performance I've seen in a long time like I said I have a friend they know how to stop the planes in midair you doing a great job once again and also you back in the back
Great video and thanks the pilot for his great skill 👍
I think its amazing how home flight sim videos game can provide you this type view and in VR. I'VE Been playing DCS F16 in VR and the sound and visuals in VR simulate the Viper look you seen here pretty good. Add a motion sim seat and its even more realistic.
ive often been there on the ground in the thumbnail looking up. cool to see the view looking down.
Vielen Dank für diesen Flug! Das ich dabei sein durfte...Ich bin total begeistert Super Video... Wow!
I have to write this in German: Wenn man so über Berlin fliegen würde, bekämen einige Politiker Schnappatmung. 😂 Literally translated: if someone were to fly like this over Berlin there would be more than one politician gasping. - But I like it! This flying looks so effortlessly however, with my humble general aviation experience, I can only assume that both, the g's and the forces to move the controls with precision require a skilled expert, to say the least.
Servus, ja das wäre mal was 😜
Was würde ich geben da mal mit zu fliegen👍👏👏👏👏👏
American fighter pilots cost 10 million each.... They can withstand 10+ g and engage in critical thinking while doing so. Only 10% of people who enter fighter pilot training pass....
That's why the American Air Force is untouchable.

On June 12, 1942, Bong flew very low ("buzzed") over a house in nearby San Anselmo, the home of a pilot who had just been married. He was cited and temporarily grounded for breaking flying rules, along with three other P-38 pilots who had looped around the Golden Gate Bridge on the same day.[4] For looping the Golden Gate Bridge, flying at a low level down Market Street in San Francisco, and blowing the clothes off of an Oakland woman's clothesline, Bong was reprimanded by General George C. Kenney, commanding officer of the Fourth Air Force, who told him, "If you didn't want to fly down Market Street, I wouldn't have you in my Air Force, but you are not to do it any more and I mean what I say." Kenney later wrote, "We needed kids like this lad."[5] from Wikipedia
