The SECOND he pulled that stick back he said “passing 3k headed for 13k”. Mind blown. These guys are superhuman.

It is so clear that John absolutely loves to fly, and he is hilarious!

First time I'm seeing someone flying onboard a fighter plane wearing race overall

[bobthebuilder]

I like how the whole taxing and taking off process was like 3 minutes, unlike in case of commercial flights, which make you sit in the plane for upwards of 25 minutes.

Ex Navy here....was a PC/mech/Trouble shooter on the A4, got a few rides in the also flew gen aviation stuff being a pilot. Let me assure you, the subsonic attack aircraft ARE A BLAST that cannot be described unless experienced!!! The F 18, 16, 15, etc., ....point and go!! Performance performance performance. Nothing short of a rocket launch. The best! If you EVER get a chance DO NOT turn it down.
It'll mess you up, your smile will be stuck for quite some time!

Blows my mind that that wing does not stall. I can't grasp how the the air is still laminar over the top.

lol calls in to departure at 3000’ 2 sec after pulling up

[watergate]

There’s send it! Stomach left on runway 😂😂

[SombraPiloto]

I've made more "3000 climbing xx000" calls than I could possibly count but not one of them has ever been 20 seconds and half a mile off the runway...

[juniorhopkins]

What a rush. John I need a ride like that

[cristinap]

Congrats Mike, you hv "Rains's" recognition? Awesome stuff 💪👌💚

[gitbse]

One of the only people in the world who can out-g a fighter pilot.

[cristinap]

Tchiu tchiu you had the pain train ride of your life with the one and only Major "rain" Waters 🔥🔥🔥👌🥰💪💪

Hearing him say "boom" after arming his seat feels wrong lol.

I’m guessing this was part of the flyover team last weekend for the Indy500. They absolutely nailed their TOT mark at the end of the anthem.

This is one of those things every human should experience in their lifetime.👍👍

[straightfaceguy]

imagine if commercial jets took off like this <3

[elijahkennedy-gibbens]

Bet you the E-175 pilot was so jealous 😂
