A personal thank you to Air Force MSgt Ryan Crane for nominating me for this flight. Thank you sir.
The Thunderbirds have a KZfaq Channel
/ @afthunderbirds
This flight took place on May 3, 2019 in Biloxi Mississippi. The reason it took so long to release is the high amount of research I wanted to do before releasing the video. I even visited the Air Force Research Lab at Wright Patterson AFB to discuss some aspects of this video with Aerodynamicists. Synchronizing all this footage and coordinating additional B Roll with the Thunderbirds Public Affairs Officer also required a lot of effort.
These are my own thoughts, not those of the U.S. Air Force or the Thunderbirds:
I've been around a lot of pilots and ground crew in my life and I must say that the professionalism displayed by the Thunderbirds was astounding. Their goal is to inspire and demonstrate the capabilities of the US Air Force, so I'll take it a step further. If you're a smart young person who is interesting in changing your life for the better, strongly consider the Air Force. The job market isn't the best at the moment but the Air Force still has opportunities available for you to learn incredible skills even if you're not interested in flying. They manage everything from logistics, electronics, aerospace, cyber and even space systems. The threats to freedom are becoming more complex, and in my experience working for the Department of Defense over a 15 year span (even longer if you count my work as a contractor) The US Air Force consists of some of the most intelligent service members our country has. These people are book-smart, but also have the confidence to solve real world problems with their own hands. If I have a complex aerodynamic question, my first call is usually to someone in the Air Force, because they understand these complex phenomena intuitively. For example, in this video you would hear Flack and I talking about pitot tubes in flight. We also had other discussions about fuel burn rates, Prandtl Glauert, weather.... all kinds of things. Simply put, if you're looking for direction in your life, and you're good with science and math... consider the Air Force. That being said, they also need other types of skills as well. Logisticians, writers, creative people who know how to solve complex problems in unique ways.

This video was the opportunity of a lifetime. When asked if I wanted to fly in an F-16, I said "Yes please, and there are some things I'd like to study. Can we try supersonic flight at different altitudes?" I'm very grateful for this opportunity and would like to thank Flack and the rest of the US Air Force Thunderbirds. This flight took place on May 3rd, 2019. This Spatial Disorientation training is something all fighter pilots go through so they can understand how their own physiology works under these conditions. Thank you for watching and learning with me. I always wanted to know what happened in the cockpit when a jet goes supersonic.

I feel like the video itself was really well paced in showing the confrontation between your confidence and your humility. I'm glad you got such a humbling experience, and I hope it only serves to help you chase your dreams even harder. In regards to the airforce, it is not an easy thing to do. I think you know this better than most people, especially in these trying times. There is a lot of bad and good to what the u.s. does, the air force being one of it's crown center pieces in it's many activities. It's a controversial thing to be sure for some people, including myself, but I just wanted you to also know that I don't think anyone can take your recommendation as paid for or insincere or not thought through. You got to experience the best of this country and the very human lives involved. It is only natural that you would wish for others to be full of good people steering us towards good causes. Thanks again for the awesome videos. At least for me it's always refreshing to see the positive side of things every now and then.

Thank you for posting this, and putting so much detail into it. My Dad flew P-47 Thunderbolts over Europe in 1944 and we heard lots of flight stories growing up. Even though he passed in 1999, he was in the room with me the whole time I was watching, grinning like a Cheshire cat. He did actually hit compressability once, and could only use the trim tabs to pull out. His wing-man brute forced the pullout and popped half the rivets on the aluminum wing covering. On a different note, thank for years of great engaging material. I home schooled my younger son through the seventh grade (he is now 21), and science class consisted of him pulling his favorite Smarter Every Day posts (and the Slow Mo Guys) and we would discuss them. Keep up the great work!!

Best explanation I’ve ever heard on what a fighter pilot endures. My Uncle flew a P47 over Germany in WWII and I have even more respect for him now. In an odd way, your video helped me realize the incredible violence he went through when he was shot down and crash landed in a field. And survived the rest of the war in Stalag Luft 1. And now a jet jock does 9g’s while fighting a war. Unreal!

I love the "moral of the story" at about 28:00- it's like Dunning-Kreuger tunneling. Humbling experiences like this let you tunnel through the Mount Ignorance peak of DK, and get on to the "wow, I've got a lot to learn" phase. And the key is realizing it wasn't just "this one thing"- pretty much learning anything is best approached by throwing ego out, and starting at the Valley of Despair, as long as you have the fortitude to apply yourself to learning.

Reminds me of that too, but I think Destin could have been a fighter pilot. 7.2 gs is nothing to sneeze at and he didn't go farther because he got his inner ear rattled. I think experience and practice could get him up to where he can still think at that g load. Of course, I don't know what the USAF rules for fighter pilots are, but somehow I doubt they require the base level to be 9 gs.
