What other questions do you have about the F-35B? 👇🏼

[nathanluker]

Thank you for interviewing a maintainer. I wrenched on Apache helicopters for 17 years. It’s nice to give us recognition. It’s a team effort to keep aircraft in the air safely.

Heyyy, I made the video 💪💪 Big Shoutout to Sam he was super cool dude and just chatted with all of us Plane Captains before recording.

I wish the sponsorship had a discount code. I’ve been shopping for a new fighter jet but I like getting them on sale

[davidwolf]

Wow, I was surprised to hear about the "voice-recognition" feature. Thanks, Sam, for another fascinating review of this wonderful 5th-generation aircraft.

Hey Sam, we met at the AFA conference over in Maryland. I'm the AFROTC cadet that grabbed a picture with you. Another great video dawg, keep killing it!

[DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Another awesome video Sam, amazing insight to the F-35B. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to video them, when the pilots complete their low level training in them, in the Mach Loop.

[PlaneAwesome]

Let’s goo! Low country lightning finally getting the spotlight! ⚡️

[LuckyShot_]

Can we just appreciate how awesome those landing signal officers are...5:44 that's insane

[starjilk]

Absolutely love the expressions of the pilot who answered the questions.

[StufffTV]

Did it again Sam, kudos to you and your team. Love the 1 to 1 talks that you have, your personal touch to the conversations really get a little bit extra from these men and women. Keep it up!

[Jazzzon]

Idk if its the enthusiasm in your voice or the cool music or what, but your videos get me more excited than most things in life.

The F35's train out here in Phoenix area from Luke AFB and my house is under the flight path way out in the north desert near lake pleasent, they always fly in pairs... when the normal F16's fly or other jets, the noise isnt too bad. Then when an F22 flys over, its loud, buit when an F35 flys over, HOLY They are deafening!!!! they are SO loud (I know what plane it is by ADS-B transponders that I track and feed multiple sites) Sometimes they dont turn on transponders (FAA granted the military special exceptions), but when they do, seeing the F35 signature show up is awesome, and seeing it when they fly over, they are a BEAST of an aircraft!!!! A true marvel of engineering.

I worked on the F35's for 4 years and was on the first F35 combat deployment. Pretty amazing jet.

[BuddySpike]

And to think it all started at a little airstrip at RAF Dunsfold in Surrey, England on the 21st of October 1960. Crazy how such important things can have such humble beginnings.

[imarioiv]

Awesome video as always Sam! I start Flight School (USMC) in 2 weeks and watching this just ignites the realization that I'm about to earn a chance to fly this in the fleet. I do wanna shout out the maintainers mentioned at 10:25, cannot do this job without them. Semper Fi!

[rarityadff]

this is my favorite F-35 variant, since it can do VTOL

[vishirox]

i love how well made the honeywell advert was. it's not like it was asking us to buy something (nor that we could), but hey! it's so cool to have companies like that work as sponsors :)

[TTOS]

18:10 that was fkn cool going super slow like he's riding a wheelie!

[Liveandrewgold]

Thank you for showing us your skills. These pilots are top guns from the Marine court. Once again very informative video.
