Amazing video shows ultra-low level flying from the cockpit of an F-16 cockpit

This footage shows an ultra low-level flying of F-16 from Misawa Air Base, which is around 400 miles north of Tokyo on the Japanese island of Honshu.

Military pilots continue to receive a lot of training in low-level flying. Fighter jocks continue to train at low altitudes even though the majority of current war scenarios take place at higher altitudes in order to sneak up on heavily guarded targets and elude areas covered by sophisticated air defense networks.

While stand-off weaponry and electronic countermeasures are helpful, pilots' ability to place bombs on target and survive to fight another day may also depend on their proficiency in low-level combat situations around the globe.

This has to be one of the best fighter jet cockpit view flight videos on YouTube. Thank you for sharing. I would like to see you do a video of a long distance flight in the cockpit view of a fighter jet, from New York to Los Angeles. That would be awesome. We need videos like that. Please make it happen. Thank you.

One of the best Vids out there. No silly music. Just a great ride. Thank you.

I'd imagine the world feels so much smaller when our usually static frames of reference like clouds, mountains and the horizon itself can be explored within a matter of seconds like this.

Awesome, , i could watch that for hours, it's so comforting. Thx

Back in 2013 my son and I did centrifuge testing for Virgin galactic at NayStar in bucks county PA.
I now have a real appreciation for you guys and what they have to put up with when flying! Especially an F 16
I would love to go for a ride in one...

This is an astounding film. We see a lot of this here in the UK, mainly RAF Typhoons and USAFE F 15s, with the odd C17 down in the weeds as well. I just love the bit where he or she flies between the windmills! Hope the pilot’s mother doesn’t watch

I was stationed in Misawa in 2011 - seeing and hearing these aircraft ripping through the skies was always an awesome sight. Never got tired of seeing it!

I love this...always wanted to fly an F-16...this is the closest I'm gonna get but it gives you the experience!..

Parts of this look uncomfortably similar to me doing low levels in Falcon 4.0, right before I crash.

Nice but would have been way better with report of altitude, speed and G-Force at the bottom of the screen.

What a beautiful morning flight! Not a bad way to start your day

Imagine how slow driving a car would feel after this? 😂

[OCRay]

Some of that was actually pretty scary. Really cool though.

[keyscook]

So very awesome! Thank you for posting - happy flying + Merry Christmas (Dec. 22, 2023) & Cheers from Seattle, USA 🍻

Wow that was fairly realistic, Playstation is getting better and better.

I did this as a passenger in a T-6 Texan at just 4 G, and that was enough for me. Kudos to this pilot.

10:22 starts a good continuous 60 second canyon run.

"From the cockpit of an f-16 cockpit" lol

[helpstopanimalabuse]

Wonderful video, the skill level & temperant that these pilots have is incredible. I would have vomited several times. if i was in the cockpit.

Definitely gotta have that time to die chart at this altitude; top notch👍🏻
