These aircraft are old, but their age is deceptive. The weapon systems in them are very modern. Military aircraft continually get upgrades, so while the air frame designs have seen a lot of years, the tech on the inside is up to date. They are still very capable on a modern battlefield.

The B-2 Spirit deserved so much more than a mere passing mention.

MOAB is an air burst bomb. "Massive Ordinance Air Burst." It detonated before it hits the ground to create a massive pressure wave to get everyone above ground. It's different from the "bunker buster" bombs that go deep underground.

I worked on the C-130 production line in Georgia and the plane has been extensively upgraded over the years: digital control panel with updated avionics, state-of-the art turboprop engines with composite propellers, and available missile defense systems. Comes in different fuselage lengths for different missions and is built in different configurations for tactical airlift, refueling, combat search and rescue, electronic warfare, and ground attack.

You need to check out the SR-71 "Blackbird". Trust me you are going to love it!

You don't need to keep reaching for the mouse to pause, or go forward or backward in videos. Space bar pauses and un-pauses the videos, the left arrow rewinds by 5 seconds, and the right arrow key skips ahead 5 seconds.

I lived in Louisiana here in the United States and the a10s would fly over every day from an air force base. They would come by and I would wave and they would wave back at me as they were flying over. Fantastic aircraft!

My family and I have all worked for NASA and Lockheed in Skunkworks. My father worked for skunkworks for 35 years, and my brothers and I are working on the Artemis rocket in New Orleans, Louisiana.

A 3 ship formation of B-52s, each dropping 108 500 lb bombs on the same target has to be seen to be believed. There are no words to describe it. The dust clouds can rise to thousands of feet depending on the weather and can be visible for over an hour. I was on a Destroyer off the coast of Viet Nam and saw the aftermath of countless B-52 strikes and one morning before dawn we saw an actual strike so close to the beach we saw all 324 bombs flash as they hit the ground. We were about 6 miles off the beach. When the concussion hit our bridge it broke many welded brackets loose that held huge wiring looms and electrical panels to the bulkhead which fell off onto the deck around us. We couldn't believe what just happened. You wanna be as far away from a B-52 strike as you can get.

If you ever come to the United States, make sure you plan your trip to come to one of our air shows. You will be able to walk inside and actually touch these aircraft that you are watching on this video. Even watch them fly and do their maneuvers. I was part of the air crew for the f-14 tomcat. My squadron was VF-101 Grim Reapers.

I have 2 brothers one is 6yrs older than me and my younger brother is 3yrs younger than me. Both of them served in the USA Air Force. They both were airmen on the B52 bomber and they were tail gunners but in different years. I glad you like these videos. Myself I was a firefighter in my hometown.

Jono seems to be a great father and husband. You can tell he loves and is proud of his boy. Respect.

You may want to check out some of the footage of the "Mach Loop" in Wales. The Mach Loop is a low altitude flight path for military aircraft to practice. Everything from F-35s, Osprey, and C-130 Hercules transports make low altitude runs through the narrow valleys there. There are always a lot of cameras there to catch this from viewing areas. Many of the videos are short, lack commentary, and just show great planes flying low and close. So it may be worth queuing up a few. A search will net you a lot of hits and I can't recommend any one video over another. It is the closest to an airshow experience you can get on your computer.

[McShaganpronouncedShaegen]

The Hercules used to fly over my grandmothers house. They were so low you could see who was wearing sun glasses and who wasn't.

[garrymoore]

Actual combat record of the F-15: 104 Aerial victories. Zero Aerial combat losses.

[kenadkins]

The B1 is super cool when it decides to go fast the wings fold back and it goes nearly as fast as a fighter jet

[PhonePole]

Show your son the Skunkworks documentary on the SR-71. It does not disappoint 👍🏻

At 5:12 I can't help thinking "is that where the AA batteries for my TV remote went?".

[thumper]

Good boy! Worried about his sister. That's awesome. I think I mentioned before. I live next to an F-35 base, not a fan of their noise. There is F-18s here also, but the 35 is just to load and they always wait until the best part of the movie, you know. Right when we are about to find out who did it.... I get buzzed. ;P
I am retired and I can go fly the F-18 simulator anytime, but the F-35 is still classified. I'm not even allowed to look at it.... well, okay, I can look, but not touch. ;P
I'm biased, I like the F-14 Tomcat (Anytime, Baby) - that was their moto - on every F-14 Patch is a cat wearing a holster and it says, "Anytime Baby." I also liked the F-4 Phantom for its looks. and the P-38, P-61 and of course, the classic P51. Look at my icon/avatar thingy image and you'll notice; I like the old muscle machines.

I'm an USAF Veteran and my job was to load the armament on attack and fighter aircraft. I was with the Flying Tigers squadron, and we were one of the first bases to get the A-10 back in 1980. It was by far my favorite aircraft to work on!!
