Great video w/o music. Nice to hear the engines and raw sound in general.

I remember being 15 and Independence day came out. I wanted to be an F-18 Pilot so bad after that film.

How do you pop your ears fast enough when your changing altitude at these rates?

@123thatoneguy The oxygen line goes through a regulator on the pilots chest. From their it goes into the left console in the cockpit. The oxygen comes from bleed air off the engines through the On Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS).

@jaidafat11 About 2 g's. A trained and fit pilot can only take about seven g's before blackout but the suit lets them go to about nine g's. (Many of the most modern fly-by-wire jets actually limit themselves to 9 g's in a turn so that the pilots can stay conscious.) The flight suits accomplish this by inflating bladders around the legs and squeezing them, thus pushing a bit more blood back into the upper body. Training and fitness is still key to make it through that many g's, though.
