I Love this Girl 🥰😍..Polish fan 🇵🇱👍👍

Viper instructor guy here, F-16A through C, Eagle as well. Neck injuries, upper cervical spine issues yes, whiplash, no. It's due to the load that we bear (G) based on the need to turn and fight the plane. The newer helmets JHMCS with targeting apparatus built in made the helmets heavier and in turn under high repetitive G while twisting and turning your neck can cause issues. Most all of us have been to the chiropractor at some point, and its not just the neck, Lumbar sacral (low back) takes a huge amount of load under high G with the whole upper body weight concentrated about the lumbar spine. Add to this the need to turn twist and pivot the head and torso under load and its compounded. But it's not an injury that is associated with the whiplash motion. Hope that helps.

Love the 555th... The Triple Nickles...built the Academy 1/32 F 16 model kit in their honor with their decals. They have quite a great history serving this country...

This video clip is all about showing an attractive cadet flying in the back seat of F-16 fighter jet in Italy.

I was in the air national guard from 1980-1996 in New Mexico flew A-7corsairs and F-16s blocks 30-40 was an honor to serve my country and there is nothing like a 9.5g high speed turns 65yrs old now 🤔 but I would get back in that cockpit tomorrow Godbless

So, way back when when I was a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol I was lucky enough to get chosen to attend one of the Summer programs.
So I end up at an Air Force Base at the Guest House. Or military hotel.
So there is this guy working the switch board. He is a USAF academy cadet.
So we started to talk and I asked him why he is not doing all that glamor stuff they show in the school catalog or in the recruiting movies?
He smiled and said, "It builds character...."
I'll never forget it....

My old fighter squadron. Probably the same jets I worked on in 1994 when the 526 FS from Ramstein AB, Germany transformed into the 555th FS during Operation Deny Flight.

I flew heavies in the USAF for 22 years, 17 of those in the KC-10…I have ZERO regrets about that and have had a few rides in -16’s and one in an F-15B… great airplanes, but a boring mission.. I saw every corner of the world while I flew tankers and loved every minute of it…

Well, that was a waste of 5'10". Would have liked to see her experiences during takeoff, flight, and landing.

Our daughter (USAFA99) did an F-16 flight at Spangdahlem. I asked her how it was. Her response, "It was OK."

What a build up to a no ending in thisvid story.

[BlakeCatDeath]

Well i really appreciate she brave, smart and courage and still coloring her nails 😍

My Daughter is at West Point. They do similar cool things - for example she got to go 3 days without sleep setting up and defending fire bases in the field this week. I told her she should have gone Air Force....
