Never flip the nuclear consent switch without consent.

At the end of the video when he says "if you know, you know" he is referring to how you can turn the fuel dump mechanism into a flamethrower, by engaging the afterburner and fuel dump simultaneously. This happens because the fuel dump exit is located right in between the two engines at the rear of the plane.

The myth of nuclear consent switches-
Pilot: I consent
Weapon System Officer: I consent
Target: I dont!

Bro just scraped a part of aviation history onto his finger 💀

Fun fact: F-111 got this escape pod because the Navy asked for the F-111B cockpit to become an emergency raft to improve survivability when ejecting over water. It was also one of the reasons why the F-111B was too heavy to meet Navy's request, but Navy said the pod was non negotiable. Eventually the F-111B program was cancelled in favor of the F-14A, which lacks multiple requirements the navy asked of the F-111B including the escape pod among other things as well as still being overweight.

On the other hand, the Air Force initially asked for a tandem conventional cockpit like the F-14 would later become, but Navy said no and Congress said keep it the same as Navy. In the end, the F-111A for the Air Force got a free emergency survival shelter and the pilot and copilot can hold hands for emotional support as they loft down to the post-apocalyptic world.

Ok but why does it look so cozy with the curtains down?

[tobiwan]

you probably don't want to eject into a nuke that you just dropped.

Me uses curtains for one sec
One sec after-TERRAIN, TERRAIN, TERRAIN

"hey bro you dropped somethin-"

[vegasmech]

I can't believe I've been dropping nukes wrong this whole time, thank you.

[adamgreenhill]

Imagine dropping a nuke and ejecting the cockpit by accident 💀

[gnarfarmer]

in all seriousness, reading "nuclear consent" above a red switch fills me with an unexplainable anxiety

[StreamWheel]

Thanks so much man, I couldn't find ANY videos anywhere about this, your a real one.

Fun fact, up until 1977, the nuclear launch codes were

Instructions unclear:
So after acquiring said nuclear weapon a bunch of men in suits showed up at the door and said they just wanna talk. Will update soon after a good chat 🤷‍♂️

My co-pilot is asking me why I'm watching a YouTube short.

This is like ADHD swapping from one topic to another
