    Use this as a thread to debate which aircraft you think is the most advanced (since I know it's coming haha): 👇🏼
  • @stemba16
    Big props to the Major Kristin, she seems comfortable on camera and is very passionate and informative
  • I’m buddies with an F-35A pilot. We’ve come to the agreement that it’s basically a flying gaming PC. And yes, it can run Doom.
  • @mdk03
    F-22 and F-35 pilot in one career is absolutely nuts
  • @NotWhatYouThink
    Never thought I’d see 2 scary bulbous bows in an F-35 video 😁 11:12 Great video as usual, Sam
  • @MrRandyMarsh1
    Retired awacs aircrew here, thanks for this video Sam ✈️
  • @Jimmerca
    From one veteran to another thank you so much for sharing this F-35 demonstration. Extremely impressed by the capabilities of this aircraft and the pilots that fly them. Keeping America safe.🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻

    I have seen the demo in person many times. It's impressive to the point I actually hold my breath during some of the maneuvers, it's THAT cool. I got to meet Beo at one of the shows and she is such a joy to talk to. As a "girl dad" seeing her talking to young children and engaging with them was heartwarming. She's a class act and a great representative of our fighting men and women. The airframe, beyond impressive. Still not in my personal top 5 favorites, but I's give my right arm to fly it. Being 61, I have seen a lot of airshows in my days. Blue Angles in F4's should tell you I have seen my share. I'm looking forward to seeing the F35 again this summer and CCAS at KMHR. Sam, awesome video as usual. You do great work that is fun to watch, full of valuable information and we can all tell you have a genuine love for what you do. We're lucky to have a "friend" like you on YT. -Phantom
  • @honzavyborny
    YouTube just recommended me this channel - what a... by far the best military aviation channel out there. How I've never heard about you before?
  • I absolutely LOVE living next to the base, and getting to hear and watch the jets pretty much every day. I'm always running to the window to see them, or onto my deck to get pictures with my camera. It's incredible what they can do! It's also super fun when they come roaring right over, shaking the entire house!
  • @AirJoe
    For your own information helmet mounted displays aren't necessarily a new thing they are used in f-18 super hornets, f-22s, f-16s, and even A-10s. The f35 just takes it one step further with the ability to look through the aircraft.
  • @CiiDisabledGang
    I was born with one hand, and faced so much adversity growing up. I thought I wasn’t gonna be able to take care of myself as a man and my family. I was denied my childhood dream of going to the navy seals. Watching you give out game and showing us it’s possible through your page continues to inspire and motivate me to be the best version of myself and to stay focused on my purpose Sam. Much respect brother 🙏🏽
  • @richs6205
    I’m thankful for all the service members who are dedicated to the mission, they deserve much credit. Nice job on this video Sam, well done.
  • @leftorright04
    Another incredible video Sam!! Thanks for your amazing work. Loved seeing the F-35 in action and learning more about it. It has been fun to see the test flights in Ft Worth over the years here and so impressive what this versatile fighter can do, but the F-16 will always be my fave!! Keep em coming!!
  • Well done as always, Sam! The amount of thrust coming out of that F135 engine is absolutely insane!
  • @38motocross
    My brother flys the f35a and is a graduate of the 6th fighter weapon squadron only select few get an opportunity to do which is top gun for the air force. It’s pretty amazing, I’ve got to see all this up close and worn the helmet and g suit.
  • @RhinoZone305
    Sam this was EPIC! Then again, I've probably said that on the last 50+ vids you've made because each one is always better than the last. The whole production level rivals NatGeo, but it's your enthusiasm and Sam-eye perspective, that adds the secret sauce. Clearly the F-35 technology, weapons possibilities and overall performance are impressive. But....I'm lining up over behind the 'all in A-10'. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt - tech that! 😎
  • @oomorioni6784
    “beo” is the most clever callsign ive EVER heard she is so cool
  • @mohilgorecha
    One of the best aviation channels out there in the world, I would say. I love learning so much information about jets, even though I know it's only a small fraction of what they have to offer. From this point of view, it was quite an interesting experience. I am eagerly looking forward to having many more experiences like this in the future videos.
