  • I've got a full blow man crush now. bucket list addition, shooting with this guy!

  • nutn, thank you for this series. i was on the fence with army and airforce, now ive made up my mind to go usaf, thank you sir for your service and for being an inspiration in my life. your story of first aid helped push to become an emt so i could help my fellow man and now to take the biggest step of my life, thanks brother. keep cranking out the vids !

  • Thank you for your dedication, your service and your willingness to perserve our way of life by sacrificing your way of life. I feel indebted to all of you brave men and women who wear the uniform of our proud military. God Bless you and God Bless the USA.

  • Kinda scary how we have mutual interests. USAF crash rescue 1983-90 ( Im must be a little older than you ) RAF Lakenheath, Randolph AFB ( loved the ariel photo at the end of the video ) and Mather AFB. I still can't read enough about the airmen of the 56th and 365th in their p-47s (round engine noise is amazing ), a generation we would have a tough time measuring up to.

    Do you still fly in civilian life? When you fly for a living can it still be a passion and not just a vocation?

  • As a long time TNPer and former USAF officer, I have never commented on a vid; just posted thumbs up for them. This is one that made me laugh out loud and has increased my respect even more for Nutn, Buggett, and the rest... Another great philosophy vid that will continue to make a difference. Thank you.

  • Thank you for sharing your lessons and stories with us and thank you for serving the US Military! You have done a great service to protect our freedoms and way of life, even with the KC-130s. They keep our jets rollin' towards any threat, anytime, anywhere!

    At the same time, it's a shame to see political correctness permeating even the National Guard. Such a thing puts responsibility at a premium and should be rolled back to common sense ASAP.

    By the way, AWESOME IAF jet shot at 0:40! ^_^

  • You need to try and get the flyby photos and post them. Great stories and times.

  • What is the reasoning for the Air Force and the Navy having two different methods for air to air refueling....sometimes a big problem w some of our allies and the sharing of resources since the planes are specifically designed for one method or the other.

  • Political Correctness is a cancer that is destroying this country, in civil society and the military and it needs to be destroyed. Equal Justice for all not Social Justice where you think you deserve something because of afermative action. No one owes you a damn thing.

  • I just had the privilege of finishing this video and I have to say there's so much I've learned that can only be taught be he who has worked and lived to obtain such knowledge. Much respect

  • Dude!!!!! You bust me up. I love your vids and this last set of stories Rock. I spent active duty time in the Marines and I served in the California Army guard as well. BRAVO CO. 3/160TH ID. OOOHHHWWWWAAA.

    Striker Flight......LMFAO.....WHAT A GTEAT STORIE. As well as a great message. Don't be a CS!! ..chicken sh@#. LOL

    """"SEMPER FI"""""

  • Greetings from a RCAF Officer-Cadet currently attending the Royal Military College. I showed your Air Force Stories video to alot of my buddies here at the college and we think you could give us alot of good advices regarding our futur carreers. I have myself been a TNPer for a year now and I think it is by far the best channel on youtube ! Keep on the good work and long live TNP !

  • love the stories man think there needs to be another 3 part series.

  • More Stories!!!!! Love it. Thank you for your service. You Rock.

  • Ps how can I get a ntp hat?

  • Absolutely love yr vid nutn, these air force insights are incredible.!!!thank u so much for spending so much time to put all this together. Keep it up.

  • Thank you for your service and thanks for sharing your life's experiences with us.

  • I love theses videos! Great advice from what sounds like a great career.

    I am commissioning out of Air Force ROTC in May! Headed to Randolph, AFB and then IFS and Undergraduate RPA Training to fly UAVs!

    Thanks Nutn! God Bless!

  • Truly a great series Nutn, you rock!

  • Can anyone tell me the vision requirements on being a pilot in the air force? My eyesight isn't that great; I wear glasses/contacts.

  • @Icezix

    I just went for my Class 1 Flight Physical in October...

    my understanding is 20/50 as long as its correctable to 20/20

    I wear contacts as well and I was able to get a waiver no problem. Hope that helps!

  • MORE USAF STORIES!

  • We want more USAF stories!

  • This series was by far the best thing I have ever seen on youtube. I wish there had have been more officers with your mentality around when I was in. Listening to your stories reminded me of things I had forgotten about. Keep up the good work with TNP and thank you for serving.

  • whats that song at the end of this video? it was in the other ones of the series also, i like it, love all your vids!

  • Love your vids nutnfancy and thanks for your service.

    ( joining in 3 years. Can't wait!)

  • cool vid, my father flew kc 135s and the fb111a. Cool to hear similar stories from someone else.

  • Awesome video, thanks for sharing these stories. Fantastic pictures and vids. Keep up the Great work you are doing.

  • Live to fly, Fly to live !

    I really enjoyed watching all the parts of "Air Force Stories"

    All the parts were great, hope you'll share some more life stories with us soon, we love them !!!

  • Agree w u re TX entry. Flew into one over SVN in a BUF in 1969. (2AM, FL330, in the s***, #2 in the cell, dropping on lead with station-keeping radar, so couldn't see more than 5nm out. PTT was briefed for release+30sec. Lead turned immed after release but we pressed on. Lead could see the storm cell 5 miles past tgt but didn't tell us. We bought the ticket and took the ride!) Long story short: BUF was wrecked and we barely made it to our diversion base. STAY OUT OF BOOMERS!

  • Wish I had served with more officers like you during my 8 years in the Army from 1972 to 1980. Some of them just didn't get it. So true about not wearing flip-flops. When I try to tell people about that I just get the deer in the headlights look. You do an oustanding job for the gun community! Keep up the good work!...Hoping for a Troy gift cert....my AR needs a new rail.

  • Stick to shooting guns and doing reviews. Thanks for your service though. :) Please make your videos shorter! Still a fan though...

  • love the music at the beginning

  • The F5 is such a cool plane. Had em at RAF Alconbury UK. They had an aggressor squadron in the mid 80s.

  • Wow...it is 1:45 AM And I have watched part 1 and 2 days ago. So all of the sudden my phone goes off and I'm like who is calling me at this time.(I'm also getting ready to go to bed after your video) I look at it and it's my older brother so I answer. He's asking for a ride in the next half hour around 2:15am. I look over and see you because I paused the video. I said to myself "what would Nutnfancy do?" and I told my brother I would pick him up. Get my share of work in! USMC Boot Camp May 14th!

  • Thanks for taking the time to put this video set together. Enjoyed the insight and honesty. I did not serve in the military, but have a great respect for those who have - and will. Thanks. (if things had worked out - it would have been Air Force for me)

  • Enjoyed this video , brought back a lot of good memories for me! Thank you!

  • Bottom line, I retired before I wanted to at the age of 45. I miss my guys and they miss me but the system just chewed me up more than the Iraq deployment did......Said!

  • I hear Nutnfancy, I'm a 22 year Army vet. I spent my years as well in the reserve as well . I 2003 I was deployed to Iraq. ( months away from retirement) But I sucked it up and went anyway, as I should as a warrior should. Well anyway, to make a long story short, I understand your statement about "NONSENSE" in the miltiary. The nonsense cost me my final promotion( which i earned prior to my deployment). It also could have gotten my guys killed as well ( from weak leadership of my superiors). I

  • Great series! Can you make a fourth?

  • Man I wish we'd had internet and something like to this to draw from back when I did my "värnplikt" (eng; obligatory basic training in the swedish army) so I'd gotten a better idea of everything involved in the service. If I had it presented to me like this I'd probably made more of an effort to progress rather than counting the days til I "got out".

    Big thanks for a very engaging and entertaining series! A+!

  • I watched this series and enjoyed it so much.

    Thanks to all who serve!

  • Are u in tha air force? From tha camo i assumed u were in tha army..

  • I don't care that this is a family show. Nutnfancy, you sir, are a Good Cunt.

  • I enjoyed these vids so much, thanks for the stories, advice, and hard work.

  • If I could like this video twice or 3 times I would.

  • Wow, that's amazing.

    I think when I turn 18 I'm going to enlist.

  • Good stuff Nutn', thanks!

  • God bless America...

  • MORE GERMAN ACCENTS! :D hilarious memory making stories nutn rock on LC!

  • Too bad the Italian cruise captain didn't know how to safely do his "fly by" to the islanders.

  • Nutnfancy is inspirational.

  • You tell some awesome stories! Took me back in time to my army days.

  • this may should dumb but these 3 videos made up my mind on joining the marines i was thinking about it for over a year now and i just needed something to sway my mind yes or no but this made me realize that its something i need to do, thanks nutn for the insperation and everything else you do for all of us freedom loving people

  • Even though you are now retired, can you still go fly military aircraft?

  • a few days ago i was on a continental flight and the plane was struck by lightning, does that happen often?

  • @perfect1oNN yes it does.

  • Man, the political correctness in the Army is the same. It drives me nuts. I swear that the army has quotas they have to fill for females and minorities, which lets garbage soldiers get through. Promote people by their skills and actions. NOT by their gender or skin color.

  • Thanks (as always) for sharing these important life experiences and the decision-making process behind them! I think what is of great significance is the point you make of wanting to give back to one's country for the freedoms it extends to its citizens, i.e. via military service. If we could only impart that attitude into our current economic (and un-employment/jobs) situation! This is in direct opposition to corporate greed that makes one dependent on its various implementations..._M11

  • Much thanks and respect for your service! Thanks also for your insight and knowing how important is is to record your experiences and relay them. Reminds me of what Jeff Cooper said about writing it down or it never happened once you are gone. By doing this you have shared and educated not just you current viewers but all you care to learn in the future.

  • LOL!!! I loved that story about the "bootleg refueling" story!!! Laughed so hard!! Loved that german accent too!

  • Great vids and seeing you in younger days looks soo much like Doodle, er him so much like you.

  • Watched all 3 start to finish. Amazing!

  • Comment removed

  • Much respect to nutnfancy. I was a KC-135A crew chief at RAF Fairford, UK in the mid 80's. We used to service the planes that came TDY from the States.

  • @RohanAirsoft guitarra de noche

  • very good videos keep up the great work nutn

  • The "Chicken Shit of the Year" award goes to.... Captain Francesco Schettino for leaving his ship and passengers and crew to save himself and refusing to go back and effect a rescue.

  • Nice video series

  • Pride! I used to work as a lowly little KFC Cook, But..... I was the best, and gave perfect product classes, it's not what you do, it's if you do then do it the best you can or know how!!!

    P.S. I had NO lives depending on me!

    THANK-YOU AND ALL WHO PROTECT AND PRESERVE OUR AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE!

  • I love the Band of Brothers reference in the info!

  • I hate to be that guy but does anyone know the name of the intro music? I searched the artists channel & couldn't find it.

  • Home Of The FREE...Because Of The BRAVE!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA and Those Who SERVE!!

  • cool story. now i wanna play bf3 :D

  • Thank you for the vids they really are great. When you have time please do more we do like it. Enjoy SHOT,

  • That Pic of the T-38 in front of Whiteman AFB Base ops....Is that you? Was stationed there from 1993-2006.

  • Great storytellin'

    Slim's accent almost ruined the joke : ) Loved that one the the carrier story. If only you were able the get that shot. Thanks for the memories & more over thanks for your service.

  • Fantastic series of videos. I was actually wondering what your advice would be to someone who was thinking about military service. These videos answered that question.

  • Excellent music selection, and great series. Thanks for sharing the memories. Well done, sir.

  • Awesome as always.

  • The thanks at the end had me in tears because of the mix of the music and the honesty of your service in the military.

  • Man I love your stories , tell, were you in Bodo, Norway back in '95 for the "Strong Resolve" exersise ? . I was crew on RNoAF F-16's at the time and got a ride in a KC-135. I don't remember what unit it was, But I remember a cupple of the tanker guys that was stationed there for the exersise and you very much remind me of one of them.

  • you a really humble guy im only 16 but my dad is a squadron leader in the RAAF and im sure he understands what its's like to be away from us. I hope to join and have some great stories for my kids by the time im your age

  • @Gleyen I agree!!!

  • Nutnfancy 2016!!!

  • 14:01, Yes I'm digging it :)

  • Great series, learned alot, thank you for your service!

  • Great series Nut'n. Thanks for your service to our country and for these awesome stories, pics, and experience. I have a new found appreciation and understanding of what you are all about.

  • Good stuff, good stories and great series. Thanks you.

  • What do you call the song in the beginning and end of this video? I'm sure you've said it before but I'd really like to know if I can get it somewhere. 

  • @thelister4910 The artist is a guy called Dudio and the track is called Guitarra de Noche

  • Usually when we deployed we were the first ones there and we were the last ones to leave. Lolz

  • Air Force Stories Pt. 7!!!

  • I watched all three videos and I have to say, this is your best yet. Good job and keep'm come'n!

  • SUCK LESS don't be CS !

    Awesom.

  • Nutnfancy I love your videos I find myself wasting hours watching them instead of probably studying for school, but because of your videos I have purchased the sog Aegis the Sog Twitch and the Cold steel Spartan, and now I am trying to add the sog pentagon and although you have mentioned it you haven't reviewed it yet I'm not pushing you but if you could make that knife review soon that would be fantastic.

  • your a great guy with good moral values and great stories

  • I have been doing Acft maint for AF for quite awhile and let me tell you, real pilots like you are becoming far and inbetween. Before it was a "your flying it not buying it" philosphy. Now it's "is this paint chip okay?"

  • Listening to your stories is giving me additional info for my cross training. Both for the mentality to have going into the new jobs and which job I should go for. One of the 6 on my list in In-Flight Refueling. I know it isnt the same as flying the tankers but it does sound pretty cool none the less. Right now just waiting for Flight Med to clear my package and we will see from there. Thanks for the vids! They are a help and fun to watch.

  • @ItalianAnaconda And by the way... I am so with you on PC. I presonally feel there is place for it in the military. Heck at times I am not sure there is a place for it in life. Things are what they are. No need to fluff it to make sure it doesnt hurt someone when they fall.

  • Much appreciated, enjoyed the stories and THANK YOU for your service!

  • anyone know if nutnfancy is going to shot show?

  • Love the videos nutnfancy thanks for your services

  • @18:00 GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!

  • epic man! Nice to have you around!

  • I have never served but still my motto remains: fearless, humble, doer and having fun, sounds like your just the same, a man of integrity and that i can respect. Those are the key words i want people to identify me with. And i live by those words, they are whats keeping me going, no BS just getting the job done! I cant stand the BS'ers they are slow and BORING! Thanks for leading as a good example nutn!

  • I saved my commentary for the last part. Best 2 1/2 hrs I've spent in a long time, let me tell you!! As you said during the videos, some, (or much) of your philosophy and life experience can be applied to the everyday, military or otherwise. All three parts were fantastic! I'm sure there's a ton more I could say about it. But instead I'll just say - Awesome job! Thank you for your service!

  • Sweet man, loved this series!

  • Thanks for your service, thanks for the vids.

  • Are you at shot?

  • Memories. Thanks Nutn, I needed you for a squadron Commander. AFSOC needed less Nonsense. LOADED with it!

  • Good example, cruise ship runs aground in Italy killing a yet undetermined number of people, the rumor is the Captain was showing off, yeah, right before he FLED THE SHIP. Quiet professional? I think not.

  • Thank you

  • Very enjoyable video series.

    Nice to hear about your career and candid stories.

    At 40:31... tell me your Dad was an OV10 Bronco jockey, if so that is awesome.

    Thanks for sharing!

  • belgium f16 

    rocks :) !!

  • I would have not have pegged you as an Air Force officer, let alone as a pilot. Keep up the good work, I love your video's.

  • Dont you think Nutn looks a bit like rocky in his day?

    Great vid bro

  • chairforce lolz but still go navy hooyah

  • Oh man, brings back memories. Was in Artillery support myself but some things runs true no matter what branch you are in.

    Thanks for the stories and the reminders Nutn.

    *Salutes*

  • Nutn... Watched all three vids back -to-back in one sitting. What can I say? Thank You! Thanks for your military service. Thanks for sharing that with this series. Thanks for the TNP project. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Thanks for the inspiration, the advice, the philosophy, the honest reviews, the adventure videos. Thanks for sharing Allie "The Mountain Dog" with us. Thanks for being a friend. You're the real deal my friend. Semper Fi, from a fellow vet.

  • Awesome stories! Thank you.

  • Thank for sharing this with us, Nutnfancy - love your work and I glad that you were one of those who stepped up. All the best for your life after the Airforce.

  • Watched all three vids...at the end of them I almost shed a tear.

    I was told I would not be a pilot at the tender age of 10. Dreams crushed.

    Yepper, got my first pair of glasses. And even after college they would not take correctable to 20/20. I came from two generations of Air Force on mom's side.

    Twenty-five years later, I can still remember all the hours of T38 & T37 sim time mom used to get my brother and I when she worked for Northrop out at Vance Air Force Base. Rock On!

  • Outstanding stories, thank you LTC Nutnfancy!

  • Awesome intro, awesome video, awesome series, your a god damn inspiration for us younger generations!

  • Hay Nutn, does the wake of the KC-135 affect the planes during and pending refueling?

  • @Post1036 Absolutely. I'm a Boom Operator on the KC-10. -135s aren't very large aircraft so they don't put out much wake, it might affect fighters a little but their thrust ratio and aerodynamics are so strong it won't matter much. Larger planes would definitely make the -135 rock a little bit.

  • Nutnfancy 2012! For president

    Sounds good right?

  • I have to applaude you on this series Nutin' Well done!!!!

  • Great video!

  • Great series man, enjoyed it

  • I loved the video. Thank you for ensuring my freedoms. Keep up the good work, Sir. I am a devoted follower of TNP.

  • Great series of videos , great work and Thank you for your service!!!

  • nuntnfncy you rock dude. Where are you located?

  • I really enjoyed this series. I especially liked the way you integrated the stories to highlight your philosophic lessons. I am at the beginning of my career but am already starting to see some of the subjects you have touched on. Thank you for being a role model of the quiet professional that speaks up when it is right and knows how to have fun too. Thank you for sharing your stories and thank you for your service.

  • You going to this years shot show?

  • Good stories I was in 21 years and 19 days. I was on a C-130 headed to Okinawa from Korea and we did an Air to Air Refuel pretty cool, was you ever stationed at Minot ND ? I was up there for a visit of my Brother-in-law. Anyway good stories....

  • What is the first songs name? I know the artist but not the song name.

  • @DonQuixotec Guitarra de Noche :)

  • thumbs up if you're "diggin' this"!

  • I wish you were my BC.

  • I know u answered this once b4 but can u annotate the song in the begining???

  • big one.... but if this should be the last one, i would be little bit (grrrrrrr) bro.... this is real good stuff, i beg for more, keep em comin

  • I am loving this series!!!

  • Thanks Nutnfancy!

  • Great series Nutn, I really enjoyed it. Thanks for your service. Keep up the awesome work in TNP.

  • what a great series thank you very much.

  • Great serie of vids.

  • great vids... :) very entertaining

  • Awesome set of videos! I enjoyed every one of them! Thank you for your service in the USAF! Keep up the awesome Nutnfancy project!

  • Great series. Thanks for sharing and for your service. Also, thank you to all who have served and are serving.

  • Love, love, love this series. Thanks Nutnfancy!!!

  • Nice, but who was that dude he was talking about @ 7:20 ?

    I honestly could not understand that name...

  • Little confused, where you in the Air Force or in the National Guard or both?

  • @shanwade

    I might have missed some details here and there in these, BUT yes Nutnfancy did some service and training in Air National Guard.

    check nutn's uniform. He has the Air National Guard patch in the uniform, its the patch with that musketman and aircraft in the background

  • @shanwade The air force has a National Guard component as does the army. The Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marines all have a reserve component also... I think the Coast Guard even has a reserve component. The main difference between the reserves and the National Guard is that the reserves are under the control of the federal government and the National Guard is under the control of the Governor of the state in which that unit resides.

  • Thank you for your service. I've been watching TNP for a couple of years now, and really enjoy the videos. This is the best yet.

  • great series, I hope you do more in the future. Love your commitment to honesty

  • @yotyo1234

    Ain't that the truth. I try hard to just watch but out comes the wallet every time LOL

  • The time spent to watch these videos,

    were used well.

    I will not regret having used a part of my existence, to view, what sadly ended short, these 3 stories

    -Keep on doing what you do Nutnfancy and Crew

    (make it a 4 or 5 part)

  • Dude, don't stop...this trio of vids must rank as being amongst the best of the best you've done, imvho. Lurved every minute of it. What a great life you've been blessed with; and sorry to learn about your little one (RIP) who was called early to rest in the arms of angels.

    God bless you and yours! And thanks for sharing such wonderful memories of a life truly lived to the full.

  • Thank you.

  • I was awestruck how well produced and entertaining this Airforce Stories series was... Your best video series to date bar none..... Hey would it be too much to ask if you could post what artist/title is being played at the intro and ending of this video?... Would love to have that song on my ipod.

  • I am so digging this.

  • terrible accent haha XD awsum stories

  • Thank You.
