You’re such a diplomat pal. I need to take lessons ;)

There is actually a plenty of photos (and some videos) of RAF Tornados being crazy at low level while training during the Operation Desert Shield. But I am not going to post any more. Instead, I am going to post a photo in honour of one of the greatest pilots of all times, Eric “Winkle” Brown, who just died:

Skip bombing and the Battle of the Bismarck sea......now you got me.. Low level bombing has always been the part of the military aviation that impresses me the most.

Any true professional knows that to stay sharp periods of rest are required to refill the tanks and de-stress. Whoever taught you otherwise is mistaken. Restful periods filled with hobbies or fun aren’t detrimental, they’re the complete opposite. I’m sure you could show ALL these guys how to really dogfight on Ace…

They do all kinds of things. I had a teacher in H.S. that flew F-15 in the first Gulf War.

In most months not December or January, infantry platoons spend about a week in the field. The rest of the time is cleaning weapons or barracks, classes, physical training (exercise) and duty. The officers were doing much of the same, but instead of cleaning, they were planning the next field exercises.

For someone who has obviously never worn the uniform, you sure have a lot of ridiculous, uninformed ignorance about what you *think* (for lack of a better word...you’re not thinking) they should be doing.

This isn’t about me.

A true professional never has free time. They are always finding ways to improve their performance. A music video does not help you shoot down Russian or Chinese aircraft.

Pretty sick. My Dad wanted to be a fighter pilot, but his parents talked him into becoming a C-5 Galaxy pilot instead. He transported troops to Vietnam, and brought back caskets of dead soldiers (among various other missions performed by the C-5's in the late 60's and early 70's). After his time in the Air Force, he…

I’m going to guess the training they received while the video camera was recording will help a bit.

I’m curious...how will making this video make them better fighter pilots? Do you think we could have beat the Japs faster if our pilots had spent time making music videos?

Go big or go home :D

WW2 low level shenanigans!

pretty sure this ones fake because the jetblast warps the background, can’t see the pilot, F16 seems to small for camera angle, no weapons?, no markings or tail number and stuff

Fuckin ‘ell!!!!

Damn, that was too close...

Holy shit! He was barely off the ground! That was amazing!
