How Fighter Pilots Train To Fly The Marine Corps’ F-35B | Boot Camp

One guy: “a lot of people underestimate how hard it is be a fighter pilot” Other guy: “just click a button”

That one just being like "you just press a button”

We always forget to credit the mighty engineers for making such an amazing machines!

My dad was stationed at Iwakuni, Japan, as a F/A18 pilot, and we got to see the F35B's take off with their VTOL capabilities. It was awesome

Those helmets are more than my house and everything inside it.

My brother is stationed at Beaufort rn in the marine corps as a f35 mechanic and he brings me back some of the uranium bullet shells and other stuff they let him take

Finally i have got to see the faces of the pilots maneuvering this beast. U have my dream career boys. Don't waste the excitement while u still has it.

Me: “Wow they must have to do a lot since they are by themselves” Them: “Literally just press a button bro”

These aircraft are brilliant. I have a friend in the RAF who was lucky enough to be one of the first British pilots to fly the F35. He said it’s the most advanced aircraft he’s ever flown.

Come to Beaufort SC to see them training. You can’t miss them, the noise is deafening but as they say, it is “the sound of freedom”

This guy is the REAL Top Gun ... a born pilot ... piloting is in his vein. I wish him the very best indeed.

These boot camp videos have gotten me through the quarantine

THEM:“People just don’t understand how difficult to become a pilot” ALSO THEM:”yeah just press a button and your plane takes off”

I am jealous of these pilots. I would love to fly jets as a job.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart to all the brave men, and women who serve with great dignity in all the branches. God bless!!!

While these people have been flying fighter jets during quarantine, I have been flying through Youtube watching Insider videos.

Doug: THIS is the Lockheed Martin F-35b and today I will show you all its quirks and features but first check out CAAAAARS AND BIIIIIIIDS!!

I just downloaded the F35 in Flight Sim 2020 and I know it's only a computer sim, but it gives you the flavor of how it's operated and how complex it is. Very impressive. The power available from just one engine is incredible. Just flying, navigating and landing takes all my concentration. That doesn't include radar, weapons, chaff, flares, communicating with others, etc.

We must ALWAYS give our Marines the best. My cousin, who severed in Vietnam, told me that his army unit made the decision that if they had to wait 5 min. for Air Force ground support or 20 for US Marine Corp ground support they would ALWAYS wait for Marine Corp ground support. He told me that the Air Force would fly over at the safest altitude and drop weapons in the area, they would never come low with guns. The Marine Corp however would come in at tree top and drop exactly where they were asked to and then they would loiter on station using guns until they were empty. The Marine Corp is who you want in a "Danger Close" situation.
