We studied this one in a Aircraft investigation class and the teacher said he was used to flying a different A/C and the configuration in that A/C the ejection handle was located in a different place that is why it took him a bit to eject.
@HartsfieldSpotting Knock it off means that there is a dangerous or unsafe situation and that the pilots should stop what they are doing to keep themselves and everyone else safe until the situitaion is resolved.
@suciaaguadecoco The pilot didn't set his altimiter to the MSL setting of the airport so when he was in the maneuver, he was much lower than he should have been.
@carlosvaldes2007 he was highly traind fthe plane was not at the right altitude though it was a common mistake after the manuver the plane had too much force on the tail and then crashed
@carlosvaldes2007 are you a fucking retard. he can fly, that is why he is in a F-16. You think it is so easy to just sit on your douche bag ass and criteque shit you know nothing about. Unless of course it is child molestation, you faggot.
everyone saying he got fired or discharged is probally wrong. they spend to much time and way to much money training piliots just to get rid of him. he may have got demoted and probally wont rank very offen or ever, but he is too expensive to just get rid of
well as most people know thunderbirds fly out of vegas and when the pilot did the air show at mtn home he forgot to RESET his altimeter. so when he did the loop he thought he went high enough but he was wrong. you can still see the marks on the tower from the nose landing gear. Follow your checklist retard!!

@funkyschnitzelbaby - go and learn some english.........looks like u knw only one word ''troll'' and you are proud of it..........as said earlier-u are proving the fact again and again........''crapheads''........hahahahaaaaa
I was there when it happened, it really sucked. I am glad the pilot was safe but right after that the air show ended and it was a pain int he ass leaving when everyone was leaving at the same time.
Apparently the pilot set his Altimeter to the wrong elevation because Mountain home is a higher elevation than they expected.
@IXGQ4LifeXI He entered the wrong altimeter setting, which made him 800 feet short of necessary recovery space. He didn't have enough altitude to complete the Split-S.
@RainbowManification Actually he was performing a Reverse Half Cuban Eight. A Split S can only be done if the aircraft already has some altitude. But you are correct about the altimeter, not set according to his current location and he was about 800 feet AGL lower than needed when he began the looping portion of the maneuver.
@MrSnobby24 It was avoidable! he FORGOT to recalibrate certain cockpit flight instruments. The ground level was at different level so his altitude wasnt actually what it said. He was kicked!
his facial expressions explained: uggggg lots of G's (take off) ok now for a loop-around... this is taking a huge space, I hope it makes it... (sees ground), hmmm not gonna make it, should have climbed a bit more... COME ON COME ON GO UP DAMMIT!!! dammit... FWOOSH (ejected)
I was there when it happened, i missed it, thank god, but We had to leave becase i was about 6 or 7 when it happened, every shop, and place has a picture of the ejection reminding them that if it were not for our militarys hard work on repairing and PREPARING planes, he would be dead. :C
@hcgnkhu No...sorry...knock it off means to stop all menuevers immediately. The Commander was telling the rest of the unit to Stop everything at that point.
@laurensmalter he definitely wasn't relaxed. OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT is what was going his mind once he looked at the ground. you can see him reach for the ejection lever @ 1:06
I read an article by an F-15 pilot answering all the questions about how cool and how much of a rush it must be to fly a fighter. While we are watching and wishing we could be doing it, he says he gets so focused on everything he has to do and monitor, he actually forgets hes flying an F-15 sometimes for a moment. Ya know, that lapse of time we can get when we're tooling down the freeway and realize we don't remember the last mile or two? Certainly higher stakes in a fighter jet.
@siral000 sometimes i for get i even have a car, than i look at my odometer reading at 45000 miles, and ive had the car for a year and a half. no jk, but i know what you mean, its like a trans.
@dan06ism I'm in the air force. Only fighters navy has are f18s. No such thing as a navy f16 unless they use it as a trainer. I do in flight refueling for the air force on the kc 135 and there's no such thing as a navy f16 that's operational. So once again. Dumbass
@dereklsept I apologize for my brothers naive comments... Im not sure how he got into my youtube account, anyways... Yes im a Naval Fighter Pilot and I fly and F-18 Super Hornet. I dont have a clue where my dumbass bro got his info from.
@dereklsept There is a Unit that was started and based at NAS Miramar and now is based at NAS Fallon called NFWS (Naval Fighter Weapons School) or as you may have heard before, TOP GUN! The Adversary Squadron flys, guess what? F-16's! These are not intended for operational use aboard aircraft carriers due to their spindly landing gear. But, alas the Navy technically does fly F-16's.
@ajhdflsts69 you didnt read my other comment that is posted on here, i said, navy doesnt fly f-16's unless it's a trainer, there is no such thing as an operational f-16...this post was part of a two part reply to dan06ism...thanks though
hey buddy, read more than just that one comment before you reply to what i already said 8 months ago and i quote " Only fighters navy has are f18s. No such thing as a navy f16 unless they use it as a trainer. I do in flight refueling for the air force on the kc 135 and there's no such thing as a navy f16 that's operational." thanks for being 8 plays behind in the game though buddy
Wow, so many experts on youtube these days. Everyone is an experienced jet pilot, helicopter pilot, electrical engineer, mathematician, mechanical engineer, chemist, nuclear physicist, medical doctor, IC programmer...maybe instead of posting on Youtube their criticism of others, they should get an actual education.
@sierrxhadlin The fact is its true. Millions upon millions of people use the internet and youtube and many of them have careers. The 1993 internet stereotype just doesn't hold water anymore.
@sierrxhadlin true. and obviously don't forget the generals and the great strategists of war, sitting somewhere in their safe confines of their bedrooms.
Dit soort fouten mag je niet maken als f-16 piloot wat een blunder je kan beter maar helemaal stoppen met vliegen op de f-16 stommeling Piet word hiet niet blij van.
Voices are audio of the rest of the team! The guy saying smoke on... roll... is the leader! "What the hell" is someone realizing a solo thunderbird just crashed! "Thunderbirds knock it off " means abort air show!! Then u hear all the numbers " knockin off" one by one according to their number! Even an aborted show has order! Damn impressive!!
wow you guys have no life, a friend of mine knows this guy, and his altitude meter was preset a thousand feet above his current level, so know what your talking about before you post something gaywads
I was at this show with my son and it was totally avoidable.
While it's accurate his altimeter was not adjusted properly, it wasn't 'preset'. There is no such thing. While I'm not a military pilot I am a PPL holder of 28 years and it's incumbent on all pilots to check the current reported altitude of the airport. The difference between the ALT indication and known field elevation is always accounted for in pre-flight. This is basic and that is why this chap never flew again.
Not true. There are soooo many resons why a plane can go down. E.g Misinformation in preflight, engine failure, airframe fatigue, stalling, fire, bird strike and even lightning. You can't say that 95% of crashes are down to the pilot ... without being 100% wrong of course.
@BLAKEY2695 I worked on aircraft for 6 years in the U.S. Air Force dude. Airframe fatigue is tracked and documented. Crew have strict guarantee rest periods. Preventive maint. non-preventive are checked and rechecked. Constant inspections by the maintainers, supervisors, flight engineers, and aircrew. When they crash MOST of the time its the pilots fault.
@BLAKEY2695 stalling would be the pilots fault. Bird strikes happen all the time and do damage to the airframes and many aircraft maintain more then one engine and whole career fields are dedicated to tracking birds and their migrations.
No question about that. My son hardly realized what had happened during the show, but now that he is flying with me I use it as an example of how even a highly seasoned pilot can get complacent. What an unfortunate and completely avoidable accident. He knew the instant he ejected what had happened and that he would never fly for the military again.
@linksys01112 No, he works for the Pentagon flying a desk. "McSpadden says Stricklin is an exceptional officer. "He is an extremely talented pilot. He ca

@dereklsept There is a Unit that was started and based at NAS Miramar and now is based at NAS Fallon called NFWS (Naval Fighter Weapons School) or as you may have heard before, TOP GUN! The Adversary Squadron flys, guess what? F-16's! These are not intended for operational use aboard aircraft carriers due to their spindly landing gear. But, alas the Navy technically does fly F-16's.

@ajhdflsts69 you didnt read my other comment that is posted on here, i said, navy doesnt fly f-16's unless it's a trainer, there is no such thing as an operational f-16...this post was part of a two part reply to dan06ism...thanks though

hey buddy, read more than just that one comment before you reply to what i already said 8 months ago and i quote " Only fighters navy has are f18s. No such thing as a navy f16 unless they use it as a trainer. I do in flight refueling for the air force on the kc 135 and there's no such thing as a navy f16 that's operational." thanks for being 8 plays behind in the game though buddy

Wow, so many experts on youtube these days. Everyone is an experienced jet pilot, helicopter pilot, electrical engineer, mathematician, mechanical engineer, chemist, nuclear physicist, medical doctor, IC programmer...maybe instead of posting on Youtube their criticism of others, they should get an actual education.

@sierrxhadlin The fact is its true. Millions upon millions of people use the internet and youtube and many of them have careers. The 1993 internet stereotype just doesn't hold water anymore.

@sierrxhadlin true. and obviously don't forget the generals and the great strategists of war, sitting somewhere in their safe confines of their bedrooms.

"Thunderbirds knock it off " means abort air show!! Then u hear all the numbers " knockin off" one by one according to their number! Even an aborted show has order! Damn impressive!!

The only direction he guided that plane was towards the ground.I bet he didnt fly any f-16's after that.

@luluhate
I was at this show with my son and it was totally avoidable.
While it's accurate his altimeter was not adjusted properly, it wasn't 'preset'. There is no such thing. While I'm not a military pilot I am a PPL holder of 28 years and it's incumbent on all pilots to check the current reported altitude of the airport. The difference between the ALT indication and known field elevation is always accounted for in pre-flight. This is basic and that is why this chap never flew again.

@upndown68 pilots always try to blame maintainers when they do stupid things and crash planes which is always about 95% pilots fault.
Warpath2198 1 year ago
@Warpath2198
Not true. There are soooo many resons why a plane can go down. E.g Misinformation in preflight, engine failure, airframe fatigue, stalling, fire, bird strike and even lightning. You can't say that 95% of crashes are down to the pilot ... without being 100% wrong of course.
BLAKEY2695 1 year ago
@BLAKEY2695 I worked on aircraft for 6 years in the U.S. Air Force dude. Airframe fatigue is tracked and documented. Crew have strict guarantee rest periods. Preventive maint. non-preventive are checked and rechecked. Constant inspections by the maintainers, supervisors, flight engineers, and aircrew. When they crash MOST of the time its the pilots fault.
Warpath2198 1 year ago
@BLAKEY2695 stalling would be the pilots fault. Bird strikes happen all the time and do damage to the airframes and many aircraft maintain more then one engine and whole career fields are dedicated to tracking birds and their migrations.
Warpath2198 1 year ago
@BLAKEY2695 i think that pilot did a loop at too low an altitude.
SniperAngle12 1 year ago
@Warpath2198
No question about that. My son hardly realized what had happened during the show, but now that he is flying with me I use it as an example of how even a highly seasoned pilot can get complacent. What an unfortunate and completely avoidable accident. He knew the instant he ejected what had happened and that he would never fly for the military again.
