I love watching these videos. Each pilot is different in how they handle the violent maneuvers. Some pilots are just built for it. They're supermen and it shows. They take the Gs with ease. Then there are those who it looks tough on them. They get slammed around in their straps and you can tell it's hard on them. But they have a heart like a lion and they tough it out. This is where they get the phrase "Man up" from. From the ground they all look the same....because they ARE the same. Heroes.
These guys landed in Calgary today...got to talk with Capt Dover when he got out of the jet... very knowledgeable and probably the nicest guy on the go... said it was his first time in Canada... they flew from Utah to Great Falls Montana to pick up gas and it was his first time over his home state. We are lucky to have the big metal from the states up here and we are pretty happy to have these guys...Big thanks to our american neighbors...be at the show in Airdrie this weekend.
Get to see Viper West every time they take their birds out for a ride at Hill AFB...Thank you guys for the great show, I look like a retard out there sometimes but I don't care lol
@Normaltree Its a tradion for Capt Dover to swap name badges with his lead crew chief right before he flies. Once he lands and gets out of the jet, they swap them back.
@VprWstOpi Great Video/Song. 1:40 - 1:50 = Goosebumps and also shows what a beast this machine is and what the pilot has to go through. amazing dude !!
Nice clip! But it looks to me as if the seat bealts aren´t properly tightened for aerobatics as his upper torso is moving around quite a bit and inverted looks rather awkward even with just -1g?
@Nappi91 THAT wonderful song is titled "Brothers In Arms" by the project W.E.T. The singer, Mr Jeff Scott Soto, is one of my fave singers of all time, and just a really great person and friend. I HIGHLY reccomend checking out the entire album on iTunes... had Jeff not been released from Journey in 2007, THIS is what we could've got from them :-)
More please. Haha Great job on the video. Ever thought of mounting one on his helmet or does the Air Force not like it when you stick things on their helmets?
For those wondering, Capt Dover flies with an HD GoPro Hero. I try as hard as I can to make really exciting & fun videos (check out all the vids from last year) but I am limited to only having Audacity to edit my music & Windows movieMaker to do the rest :-(
Great Song for a Great soldier for the GREAT country United States of America

Just think, the F-16 has been doing this for more than 30 years. Still the best there is, bar none. The Pride of Fort Worth. Made in USA.

Why does Capt. Dover often close his eyes by pulling the bird up? Is it just because of the sun?

Very cool to watch but couldn't stomach actually being in one. My dad was a helicopter pilot and that was enough for me. Great music! JSS rocks!
