why should he

Because there are people that thinks the world is flat.

The world is flat dumbass

I'm with everybody who KNOWS (trusts the empirical data) the earth is a sphere...no need to constantly "preach" what is common knowledge to knowledgeable inhabitants of earth. There is nothing to prove. It has been proven. The non-believing, flat-earthers are the ones with the problem accepting empirical data. Why waste time and energy on those types.

@@aeromoe beautifully spoken

If on ground at a stationary point its 2-3 minutes, I think it'd be 6-7 minutes on fighter jet.

one of the Concords first flights was along the path of totality for 74 minutes. those on the plane set the record for longest viewed eclipse that will likely never be broken.

Not really, then this small thing has to have the fuel to do mach 2 for over 70 minutes. Fat fucking chance lol

Concorde has the record of 70 minutes...check it out on Curious Droid.

No, it's a Czech (Soviet)Aero L-39 Albatros painted up like a Russian L-39 trainer, with striped camo and red star and everything. That's probably how they bought the plane, and just kept the paint scheme because it looks badass as it is. has nothing to do with MiGs or Chinese. and standard Russian camo is use on all manner of Russian aircraft, not just MiGs. Russians don't use many MiGs these days. The Sukhoi is Russia's fighter now. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero_L-39_Albatros

Gee wiz I don't know? ..Maybe you should go outside and look at the Sun, ..snap a few pics of it. -Let us all know how long it takes for the huge red spot seared into your retina to disappear. :P

well. where is it?

​@@_zproxyYou didn't make one. Get busy.

@@ChadwickTheChad funny. i do have the 360camera .. do you?

@@_zproxy No, I wouldn't spend money on that.

ash smitty thank you, I did the 360 scenes on the new Insta360 ONE actually! Standalone 4k camera, highly recommended!

AGMore42 you can blame Seattle ATC for screwing a Navy mission, we joined up after, I will upload that later. I left most of the coms off this video, as the coms is mostly us and the Growlers realizing the mission is lost and them racing to catch us (thanks again ATC)

I managed to experience the event from the top of an inactive volcano. That shadow was humbling as it approached.

That’s dirt on the canopy 😂

@@MikeKillian rofl

"People see that and thinks it's the real curve of the earth" ..ahhh, no, they don't. It's pretty obvious its the camera. -Way too low. :)

Kier Collins that was VAQ-130 "Dragon 1" giving "Dragon 3" a GO for photos, as they raced to catch us in the L-39 after Seattle ATC screwed the mission. I wrote some about it here: www.avgeekery.com/how-i-intercepted-the-total-solar-eclipse-in-a-fighter-jet/

That's not a "fighter jet", it;s an unarmed L-39 trainer jet. Real fighters have been used for peaceful scientific research for decades, this is nothing new. Filming an eclipse from one is nothing new (and doesn't really contribute anything to science). Anyway, is there some competition to fit the most jargonistic, trendy liberal buzzwords into the smallest piece of writing that i haven't heard about? If there is, you've got a top shit at winning it outright; it must be hard to toss round more hip ideas and terms than that in such a small number of words. Also would be a strong contender in the "wishful yet unrealistic" and "laughable idealist" categories. At the moment, most of the peole in this world do not live in nations where they have the luxury to sit around thinkiing of noble ideals and goals to reshape humanity into. They are not willing to get along with others, to be tolerant. They'll gladly take some gree wealth if we're handing it out, but "re-educating" the whole worlds popualtion into a bunch of peaceful fellow liberal idealists is going to take some time. Good luck. I mean, I guess you could just do what some of your fellow-travellers are willing to do and just lok up all the people who disagree with you. Or do it the BLM/Antifa way and got the "revolution" route....although I think you'll find a lot of bloodshed and devastation down that road, where-ever it ends up taking us; revolutions alomost never end up going the direction that the people who started it want it to. uSually it ends up with mass killing and destruction and eventual dictatorship. But hey, if it's all for he sake of world peace and fairness and progress, why not?

What a clown you are. 😂
