  • why is he pulling so many Gs all over the place. just showing off :)

  • the plane worth millions

    cant they put better cameras ???

  • Very nice video! I just wonder. What Simulator is this?? Would be nice to see real footage on youtube :/.

  • @platez81 This is not a simulator. It is in Fort Worth, Texas. The runway runs roughfully North & South with the old CArlswell Air Force base on the East side and Lockheed on the West side (where they build the F-16). That is Lake Worth on the North end. This was probably the last test flight of a F-16 and it is ready to be delivered. I see them doing this all the time and I watch everytime. I also live close enough to hear them. The noise from the jets is the freedom we enjoy.

  • That was insane!

  • Good Flight !!

  • Was his airspeed siren going of at 2:33?? it only looked like he was going about 129 knots

  • @razldazle10 Presumably he was performing a slow speed pass at a high angle of attack.

  • @razldazle10 He's close to stall.

  • you know its not a simulator based on the airport/runway details. Falcon 4.0 is NOT that realistic.

  • @jcelso6232

    Falcon 4.0's realism is not about airport/runway details. it's realism is based on its flight model/mechanics/systems. the actual graphics in Falcon 4.0 are very unrealistic.

  • @MustNotRead I'm not sure what you are getting at. I was just making a general comment to the title of the vid. Why he had to state it wasn't a simulator is beyond me. It's obvious it's a real vid. Then how did he sync up the pilot's breathing and mask using qualities and everything. Besides, this is the raw video footage of a special done on Discovery Wings years ago at a Texas airshow I have on VHS to prove it. I have another VHS with same pilot at Paris.

  • @jcelso6232

    Hi - I just read your comment. Alas, there are too many young people out there who cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is not. And, even though the title says it is not a simulator there are still some who thing it is. Go figure!

  • does the f16 automatically correct to perfectly level flight if it is near it? 0:40

  • @letreizeblanclighten no, that little cirlce thing just centers after a turn or any direction movement, its kinda like a guide to were ur bullets may go

  • Fake!!!!

  • It sounds like he is fapping. xD

  • excellent video..... I flew Falcon 4.0 for many years and it looks identical to that HUD. Same warning sounds and bitching betties voice is identical too..... sweet thanks for vid.

  • @zaku1234567

    They also have G- Suits, but yeah you do need balls to do that.

  • is that people sneezing in the back sound??

  • You'd have to have a lot of guts to pilot up to 8G's... seriously, I don't think my organs could handle that much force

  • Flying like a maniac!

    

  • stall!!!! 2:30

  • this video made me trow up

  • its open falcon sim

    

  • Am not very patriotic but i dont believe anyone on this earth i dont care if u have a bow and arrow or an army u believe can compare to the U.S. this is not a nation to go to war with America will topple any army. Try something else like economy warfare we are not very smart at how to keep monies for the people and by the people.

  • uhhnnnngggghhhhh!!!!!

  • Its a simulator i bet

  • He never left the airport boundries...

  • That's a workout...

  • sheesh, testing radar? he was 6+ g most of the time every which direction as fast as you can spit. his butt must of hurt after a few minutes of puckering up like that. ya, he's got a brass pair. :)

  • the pilot should stop jerking off and fly the damn plane!

    (yeah i know, he makes those sounds because of the huge G-spot... euh.,. G-forces)

  • This is certainly not a simulator. All of the graphics seen on the hud are for real and so is the grunting from the pilot which withstood a max of 8.1 g's. My flight simulator has all of the same graphics shown here. I only wish that my simulator had pilot grunts to when I pull 8 or 9 g's.

  • sounds painful :S

  • Where are the real time biometric signatures?

  • Wow wind 190 at 12 knots and cleared to land on runway 35? Must be a long enough runway.

  • The only thing that even makes me think it's a simulator is the extreme maneuvering you see.

    Yet I'm staring at the video trying to find other flaws, and if it -is- fake, it's a good one, because I can't tell it's fake.

  • Looks like the pilot is going to die ^^. More seriously, it must be really hard to endure all these G, but it must be quite cool at the same time.

  • WOW! FUCKING COOL!

  • Wow. 125Knts 25degrees nose up no stall is impressive.

  • So just to fly one of those bad boys like that, all the breathing exercises you do in the Gs simulator you have to do up there? Jeez, major respect for them. I think I'll stick to the ground and let those boys enjoy it

  • I felt weird just by pulling up a Cessna 206 a little too hard, I don't even want to imagine what does this feels like...

  • he got the airport go test ur bird awsome job pilot

  • very impressive landing

  • God damn that test pilot is really putting the bird through some work!

  • Loved it! Such a short final and he levels off at 40ft!

    The best job in the world!

  • wow didn't know they feel like this while trying to fight another plain wow on top gun it looks so fake now XD

  • Roller coasters must be boring after doing this!

  • My question is why was he manuvering over the airfield? Airshow? I did not see any people. Don't most test flights go to a practice area or some place safe if the plane takes a dump?

  • Comment removed

  • They should try to put the HUD on the canopy, that would be cool

  • Why exactly is the warning? Stall?

  • @aprepo Yes stall alarm.

  • Comment removed

  • @aprepo Yes it's when you arent going the recommended speed and is thought that you will lose control of your plane if you go under the speed.

  • It just says "warning", how one supposed to know what exactly is wrong?

  • @taradov The airspeed indicated went under 190kts and then he went into MCA, minimum controllable airspeed. The airspeed indicator is on the mid left of the screen and the altitude is on the right with the decimal in front of the number.

  • The greatest job in the world!

  • I'd probably be screaming like a little girl the whole time in the back seat

  • That was a very short final.

  • Why the altimeter readout is at -50 feets when the F-16 is on the ground ?

    He was 50 feets below sea level !?

  • @vGbaraka

    The floor of the airshow they were practicing for was probably 500 agl . By setting the altimeter to -40 Qfe he's put in a 40 foot cushion. There are a couple of times when he is below 500 indicated but not below 460 indicated including the slow flight. Max altitude is 2,500 or 3,000 .

    By setting field altitude as 0 (or -40) the indicated altitudes for the maneuvers are the same at different airfields.

    Normally the altimeter is set to read actual altitude above sea level

  • was the pilot sniffling or crying?

  • @f0nziewashere Im not a pilot, so take this with a grain of salt, but it's a breathing technique used to keep oxygenated blood in the brain and prevent g-loc (g force induced blackout).

  • @johnpatrick818 it sounds like he's "knocking one out" aka fapping

  • @johnpatrick818 You got it. When pulling that many G's it's difficult to catch a breath at all. Taking sips of air is the only way to keep from passing out as all the oxygen rushes to your extremities. Notice when he slows down to do a stall pass, he's breathing deeply to catch up on his oxygen intake. Another technique is flexing your muscles in short bursts, as it increases blood flow and also helps keep you awake if you're nearing black-out level.

  • @johnpatrick818 You're almost correct, The grunting is them flexing their muscles to keep the blood in their upper half.

  • This man really like some Gs..

  • Thats a lot of work to do, even with a flight suit.

    Plus flying the plane and having time to talk on the radio, even if this was a

    flight with an instuctor flying, the real boys have to do this all the time.

  • Goddamn that guy is CRANKING that thing from take off to landing!. Amazing flying!

    He even only bothers to line up the landing when he's a few hundred feet from the start of the runway.

  • Maxed at 8.1g for the flight it seems... must have hurt, but F16 can do 9g i got told

  • @bmsfx lol Yeah but can the pilot?

  • That was serious cranking and banking. I almost passed out watching those test flips.

  • I'd love to smash some of these people in the face and say "Is that fake?"

  • fake???? youre crazy!!!!! haha

  • Nice runway...

  • simulation

    

  • why is he making weird sound whit his mounth

  • @soldier106343  this is not a weird soung this called an anti-gravity (G) so he won't black out ..

  • @soldier106343 I think he's trying to force blood into his brain so he won't black out; he's trying to fight the G force that is pushing the blood away from the brain. It sound really unsexy.

  • @soldier106343 because he is going through massive G-Forces

  • @soldier106343 to prevent blackout. you know.. when rolls, Gravity goes on.. so pilot should breath like that method with strange sound.

  • WARS - YOU TUBE [Су-25 'Грач' (Su-25 'Frogfoot' ) вернулся домой. Живой.... ]

  • FAKE

  • Is that the hook I hear him doing?

  • my head hurts just looking at this, i used to fly a skate 8 paraglider and i pulled enough g's in that to last a while

  • Why did the altimeter drop down to zero and then stabilize at 40 ft after touchdown?

  • @Theriomalstrom: Why did the altimeter drop down to zero and then stabilize at 40 ft after touchdown?

    JM: It didn't drop to 00 and then go back up to +40....it went to 00 and continued down to (minus)40. At beginning, you can see that it says (minus)50. Either he didn't set his altimeter before take-off or it needs calibration...either way it's a slight error in the altimeter.... the difference between -50 and -40 at landing could be the difference between the altitude of the runway.

  • @JetMechMA I didn't see the minus sign in front - makes sense now!

  • @Theriomalstrom The altimeter should be calibrated to be zeroed out when set properly. The stand-by altimeter can be off by as much as 30 feet I think. But the main altimeter is supposed to be VERY close to zeroed. That's why most aircraft use radar altimeter at touchdown. It's an analog measurement and is accurate every time without need to adjust for barometric pressure changes.

  • @Theriomalstrom It hit zero as he was descending, then continued to drop to minus 40 at touchdown. The altimeter measures distance from sea level, not ground.

  • @scattam: The altimeter measures distance from sea level, not ground.

    JM: I don't think that is saying it correctly. The altimeter IS measuring from the ground, relative to local atmospheric pressure at that location and altitude. If the tower reports local pressure accurately and the aircraft altimeter is set to that setting.....and is in proper calibration, then his instrument will count down to zero during landing. That's the whole point, knowing when to expect wheel touch-down.

  • @JetMechMA Altimeters can't measure from the ground. They can only measure from mean sea level, then are calibrated to an airfield's QFE. His altimeter was off either because of mis-calibration of the QFE, or a change in temperature.

  • @scattam: Altimeters can't measure from the ground.

    JM: Read what I said again, I said it correctly. Altimeters are for knowing your distance from the ground. There is no other reason for having an altimeter. When the local setting is entered into the Kollsman window, then the instrument is indicating distance from the ground and will read zero on the ground.

  • @JetMechMA Obviously altimeters are for knowing your distance from the ground. You said, "The altimeter IS measuring from the ground". They are not. They are measuring from sea level and being calibrated.

  • @scattam: They are not. They are measuring from sea level and being calibrated.

    JM: Must everyone get in a pissing match. You said that the altimeter measures from sea level, not ground....but that is the wrong way to think of an aircraft altimeter. There are altimeters other than aitrcraft altimeters, but aircraft altimeters are meant to enter field elevation in the Kollsman window....and then they are considered to be measuring altitude in relation to the ground.

  • @JetMechMA I don't think you're even reading my posts. To clarify, I said that altimeters measure from sea level, and then are calibrated to give altitude. I don't know how you can continue to argue about that. That is how they work.

  • @scattam: I am not arguing, YOU are. I said that the correct way to think of it is to say that aircraft altimeters measure from GROUND level....because that's all you CARE about in an aircraft. You misquoted me. YOU said, "Altimeters can't measure from the ground".....but that's not true, aircraft altimeters...."sensitive altimeters" CAN measure distance from ground, because they have a Kollsman window for entering the local altimeter setting. "Altimeter 29.91"...etc.

  • @scattam: That is how they work.

    JM: Again, I"M not arguing that altimeters work by reference to atmospheric pressure. All I'm saying is the correct way to think of aircraft altimeters is that they measure distance from ground when local barometer reading is entered into the Kollsman window. Entering the correct local pressure, zeroes your altimeter.

  • @JetMechMA I have been saying that altimeters measure from sea level and then are calibrated. That is how they work. You keep disagreeing and being a pedantic knucklehead. I can't stand your diarrhea of the mouth any longer. I'm out, get bent.

  • @scattam: All I did was make a comment on the way aircraft altimeters work, and you wanted to turn it into a pissing match. You said they don't measure from the ground...and that's just wrong. What are we gonna do?...lie about it just so you don't get your feathers ruffled? I had said that he might not have set his altimeter right, and you had to come on and try to sound like a know-it-all. I already said the part about setting his altimeter and you ignored it to sound like a know-it-all.

  • @scattam: Aircraft altimeters are considered to be masuring from ground level. Airmen died because they didn't enter local pressure in the Kollsman window. The ONLY thing an airman cares about his altimeter is how far it is telling him he is from the ground. You must be talking about other altimeters, not aircraft altimeters. Aircraft altimeters have a Kollsman window for entering field elevation according to what ATIS information says or what the tower says. Ground equals 0 feet AGL not MSL.

  • @scattam: Altimeters can't measure from the ground.

    JM: Read what I said again, I said it correctly. Altimeters are for knowing your distance from the ground. There is no other reason for having an altimeter. When the local setting is entered into the Kollsman window, then the instrument is indicating distance from the ground and will read zero on the ground at standard atmospheric temperature.

  • @Theriomalstrom Nevermind, Fort Worth is a couple hundred meters above sea level. His altimeter just isn't calibrated for the base he's flying out of.

  • @F16piet do you think we are stupid?

  • im getting a blackout just by watching this!

  • thank you very much for your reaction im a f-16 spotter in airbase Volkel and i have seen the tigermeet in Volkel it was really cool have a nice day greetings from Piet from Holland.

  • Can someone explain to me what all the numbers mean on the HUD? Also, how do you know it was 8gs? (I am not denying it, but maybe someone with background knowledge can explain). Thanks

  • the numbers on the hud is on the left side speed in knots right scale is the altitude in feet 8gs is 8 plus bodyweigtht 8gs is bodypressure on your stommach greetings from Piet Sinke Holland.

  • @DanR811

    At the start of the video when the plane is on the ground, on the left above the dotted lines there is a number which reads 1.0. That is the number of Gs. You will see that when the plane is turning, that number is increasing, meaning the pilot is pulling more Gs and that's why he is breathing differently, that is a breathing technique to keep himself from passing out.

  • Up to 8G, the pilot have my respect

  • @SoldierDDR hell even if that same routine was pulled slower the 5-7 gs he wouldve been pulling is mind blowing, anyone doing this kind of hot dogging should get everyones respect.

  • the alarm system uses female voice because the male brain reacts 300 times faster to the warning message! .. unless the pilot is gay....

  • @Sexomaniakos4ever

    Not as sexy as the Russian voice from the SU-25 Georgian War attack clip...

  • Why is there a target marker? Visible @ 2:05 & 4:41 --> 5:02

  • Comment removed

  • @gketchup777

    That is a steer-point.

  • quantos G's chega num voo desses a dificuldadde de resperirar e claraa

  • I suppose this was a test flight to explore plane's (or pilot's ? :D ) limits.

    Amazing machine , I would expect it to stall after doing serial loops and high G turns.

    Props to the commander too ! It takes a lot of guts to do this !

  • what's that sound man? sounds like someone's jerking off...

  • @preon89 "Hick" teqnique. He is trying to keep his blood in his brain during high G turns.

  • Holy... you can hear him making that "hiccup" tech to counter the G's. This isn't a simulator just because of that lol.

  • What does that warning alarm mean?

  • @AlvinTingyk If you mean Bitchin' Betty going "Warning!, Warning!; Warning!, Warning!" it means that you're flying too slow and low. (Or that you've been hit and systems are malfunctioning)

  • wow most of this ride is above 5 g's and go from 6-8 G's for long periods of time. he's a trooper

  • Guy was pulling some heavy Gs. Obviously a skilled pilot.

    Just amazing what those fighter planes can do.

  • This is a Lockheed Martin test pilot, Rocket-1. @ the Naval Air Station/ JRB, Carswell Field, Fort Worth, Texas. This is where the F-16 was/is born. Lockheed is on the west side of the runway where General Dynamics was located. The NAS is on the east side. Lake Worth is to the north. They do this all the time... Great video!

  • Dit is nou precies wat een f-16 piloot moet doen tijdens zijn vlucht prima gevlogen.

    Groetjes van Piet.

  • @f16piet Precies Piet! Voor het bekijken van de vluchten in persoon is ongelooflijk. Dit is gevlogen in een strakke acrobatische doos. Het geluid is luid en kunt u de kracht voelen als de naverbrander paden deze mooie vogel. Groeten uit Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas. KC

  • Comment removed

  • It is NOT a simulator.

    I think the fact that the pilot is trying to prevent from shitting out his brains is indicative enough of it being real life.

  • is that someone snizzing in the background? please tell me! D:

  • Was that a stall warning at 2:30

  • @MrFLICKYOLI yep

  • Thanks for the "not a simulator" warning. Simulators these days are so advanced that could easily confuse common folk....

  • when he grunts is that him pulling G's? or what?

  • @Bluedrake42 i saw thinking about just that ? why is he doing that ?

  • @shorishel When pilots do high (positive) G's turns blood flows from their head to their feet. When to much blood flows from the brain the pilot can pass out. (before passing out they get a black tunnel vision => no more blood in the eyes) To prevent this they wear G-suits. inflateable trousers, vests and even boots. The suit inflates blocking blood to flow down.

  • @shorishel Pilots are also learned to contract their mussles and to do certain breathing exercises to prevent the flow of blood ... and to keep oxygen in their brain.

    + G's are the good g's because most aircraft are built to cope with these forces.

    - G's are dangerous for aircaft aswell as pilot.

    First of all the plane's structure is designed to tolerate hig + g's and doesn't withstand much - g's.

  • @shorishel !READ FROM BOTTOM TO TOP!

    Second: The blood of the pilot now flows in the other direction (from feet to brain)

    To much blood in the brain, will cause to pilot to pass out. and can even cause a stroke ... Pilots are warned by (red-shade => red tunnel vision, cause by to much blood in the eyes).

    Sorry for my english ...

    Greetz !

  • @Bluedrake42

    Yes. If you look on the left side above the speed there is a number. Usually is X.X. That is the number of Gs.

  • @Bluedrake42 it's a technique of breathing. Basically holding air in lungs and doing short quick breaths. It prevents passing out in some degree.

  • i thought pilots are used to the gforce due to the hard training holding breaths. never knew they still held their breath like this

  • @sub7viet They can be used to the G forces but it still causes a physical response like holding breath. Its like a wieght lifter, they can train for years and years but whenever they are lifting it is still a challenge.

  • some nice g's here, I do not envy the feeling but would love to be in one of those planes, till I puked, gloc set in or ujust passed out, hehehehehe

  • [dubtown 15301] They do that so they dont pass out from the high G Forces.

  • @giuchin yup, that and the g suits, lol. barf bag time for mere mortals, or that and pass out!

  • cough ? Is that just tha G force?

  • EPIC!

  • Warning, warning.....warning, warning

    Warning for what?

    And what is "NO RAD" on the top of HUD?

    And "8.1 NAV" and beside NAV, that number.... whats it means?

    And "C" with underline?

  • @tom282f38800 i think bkuz he was losing speed level...it perhaps the warnings start when speed level is lower than 180.

  • @tom282f38800 warning because low speed and angle of attack. no rad for no radar activated. nav he is in navigation, not in weapon or simulation mode, c underline is the airspeed in knots. what C and the number above nav is, i dont know :/ should play falcon4 again :)

  • @tom282f38800 I can explain NO RAD

    that means No Radar Altimeter; used to warn if you are a low altitudes (below 2500feet)

  • 8 g's baby!

  • i don't know much about jets, so can anyone explain why the pilot is making those noises?

  • @MKAG212 because he is taking sharp turns at a very high speed, all his organs are pressed against his skull, the blood has trouble flowing... the average guy like you and me would probably pass out at the first turn :)

  • @Mcmanaman85 That's some experience , i guess they have to train like astronauts before flying. right ? Is it the same thing you feel during take off and landing on commercial air multiplied by say 20 ?

  • @MKAG212 yep, i guess they train hard, like F1 pilots. It's the same thing you feel whenever you are experiencing speed variation (car, moto, rollercoaster, you running :) ) You don't feel the speed, you only feel the variation.

    I guess that the best way for a civilian to somehow grasp what it is would be to try karting... See u around :)

  • @Mcmanaman85 thanks a lot man

  • @Mcmanaman85 no, everything is being pushed down towards his seat. including his blood, which causes it to pool and GLOC eventually sets in. what ur thinking of is negative gs. btw, kinda hard for ur organs to press against ur skull lol....just ur brain

  • @MKAG212 is bkuz of the breath he holds to prevent blackout due to g forces...check those links here:

  • Why is the computer voice the same as the computer voice in the RAF Tornado Sim by Just Flight......or do Just flight have the development rights on the F16 original computer specs....? intereatng huh?.....................Graph­ics are ok. Almost FSX, but sound is VERY suspect....You CAN NOT HEAR the F16 computer voice on a video of the flight.................therefo­re.my opinion........its a fake? Sorry?

  • @Herky231

    Dude you have clearly no knowledge of fighetrjets... This is clearly not a fake. And yes you can hear the computer voice on a HUD video. It's as simple as having a Mic in the cockpit. Check this vid.. g5PNhNEW-os the bitching betty has been disabled in the cockpit but you can hear all other Computer noises and pilot talking. Sorry but if you think this is a fake you really don't know anything about the real world.

  • check this one out:

    "HUD view destroyed by software failure."

  • @skyFx100 fake

  • dam man this video mekes even me feel the gforce that must be tough as hell !!!

  • Absolutely sure it's not a simulator?

  • @mechan9: Absolutely sure it's not a simulator?

    JM: No way. This is the real deal. I've seen it many times when I was stationed at that Air Force Base. Across the runway is the factory where they build the F-16. This is a test flight.

  • Not to sound n00bish, but isn't there a special breathing method fighter pilots have to know when operating under pretty high g-forces?

  • @RudojiLape

    em, the method doesn't entirely rely on breathing.

    the pilot especially contracts his neck muscles to make sure blood don't flow away too quickly from the brain, that's why the breathing sound resembles to when a guy lifting sth heavy up.

  • @watercolour you don't contract neck muscles, you contract legs, butt and abdomen. The breathing technique is that you try to push the air out of your chest but at the same time you are blocking it with your throat. That creates pressure in the chest keeping blood in your head longer. You also have to time the breaths, breathe in, hold that pushing / blocking for 3 seconds, fast breathe out - breathe in, repeat. The breathing technique is what makes him sound like that.

  • What simulator is this?

  • @mechan9 lol

  • Perhaps its just not recorded on the video or perhaps it is not required due to the nature of the test flight, but does the pilot not respond to any of the directions by Air Traffic Control?
