Fast? Fast? Why don"t jet planes fly Mach 10? Why don't they COOL that metal, preventing it to start melting at high speed? Now it is, ehm, we can't go any faster! But those Space Shuttles had special tiles at the hot spots. What are they waiting for, get a Mach 5, 6, 10 plane working? We are always so proud, but I got PO because the entire aviation industry ACCEPTS such problems, instead of getting around it. Get real, we ALWAYS wait for some genius to do something REALLY new. That is a LAME attitude. Think about it, how much faster is that F-35 Rapor than this F-4? How much?
How many trims do they have? Commuter aircraft only have elevator trims don't they?
Mig designers rn: 😢😢😢
Pretty lousy ergonomics.
I was 6 when my pops who was an air liaison officer with the 2nd armored division took me out to the tallest hill in west Germany, 175 agl WE saw 4 F4's at 20 AGl crest that hill right above us. love the double ugly since....
Bankrupting anyone they pick up
The ejection seats on these things were super dangerous. They had a ton of power, but the flame 🔥 would tunnel and burn you from the ankles to the neck.
Clearly, we need to take better care of our pilots.
If you can lose your job over it, then it won't be reported until it can't be masked anymore. WHO can't report what it doesn't know.
Put the subs ON THE BOTTOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Human Beings are truly NUTZ!!
That's Magnificent Sir God Bless You
It's my favorite too!
A really good story...
Fantastic episode. Thank you!
The swing wing was a manual that was normally folded under the left cockpit combing. You had to pull it down and the wings moved when you slid the lever back and forth. There was a flag in the airspeed indicator that would pop up if the wings were in the wrong position. The F-111 was an early adopter of strip instruments.
Each plane had a different way of accomplishing their missions. Not just size or speed, but type of targets.
Doesn't the tomcat have a similar system? The eagle is revolutionary and all but hotas was already implemented to a large degree
that explains why some plaines are speed limited by paint peel of point.
Being black is a major achievment
Thanks!
Flying from the seat of your pants.
Great story. Thanks to you and Ed.
I booked the Cessna L-19 for 7/22. Should've booked the varga LOL!
More than 60 years after completing astronaut training, Ed Dwight finally went to Space at 90 years old! Hear his full story on the Behind the Wings Podcast: wingsmuseum.org/resources/podcasts/behind-the-wings-the-podcast-s4-episode-31/
Building a ridiculously unstable plane, realizing its unstable, and instead of finding a way to aid the aircraft stability just painting a line inside the cockpit has got to be the most russian thing ever
Thank you to the folks that make the sacrifices and train countless hours. Our great country depends on all of you. Happy Independence Day to everyone. If any of you heroes are interested in FREE golf provided by certified golf professionals with fellow DOD personnel DM me or go online at PGA HOPE and the helpful group of supporters will point you in the right direction. #pga #pgahope. #rushchad. Thank you for your service. ❤🇺🇸
Udder disgusting PFP

@3:29 mentioned buying 'brand new C-130s…' I believe C-130s are being repurposed to fight fire, just as the B-17 were 'tanked' to become Borate Bombers in the 1960s.
You neglected to talk about the collective pitch lever & how it controls the amount of lift produced by the main rotor blades.
Why is this Hank Hill as a fighter pilot
I actually met General John Berry
The gun changed the cog.
Yeah, mom and dad should be working with you there. They’re my night googly, move the bear.
Only used against weak opponents, yeah, great...
You had shit painters
I was Life Support for Col Anderegg at Tyndall AFB.
What does the homo-rainbow have to do with this? Oh yeah, space is phake&gay.
Thank you for this video. Since I retired to north Idaho, I met Burt Rutan, and his brother Dick ('Misty 40'), and my neighbor in the condo complex who was involuntarily extended so he could go on his Navy squadron's first cruise to Vietnam. He flew F-4s (likely the B model) until their airplane was shot up, lost one engine (and both hydraulic systems, obviously as the lines for both were run between the engines), and being young with that "I can do this!" attitude we all had in our twenties, landed on the carrier at 240 knots, at an incredible descent rate. I asked if he dented the deck (you may surmise that the gear went through the wings), and he related that the airplane was immediately pushed over the side. After five back surgeries in Japan, he was sent to the frag office at Saigon, serving as the only officer in that building during the night, along with one sergeant. Burt joined the "Caterpillar Club" while he was an AF aeronautical engineer at Edwards during the F-4 spin testing program. Some years after that, it was found that in dropping underwing stores, the F-4s CG could rapidly shift beyond the limits, and reportedly accounted for 20-25% of SEA combat losses. Dick Rutan was the F-100F backseater with Misty 59 Donald K. Harlan who flew off the left wing of the RF-4C that had aircraft commander Maj.Gen. Robert Worley failing to eject. (Dick Rutan corrected the story in my copy of Walter Boyne's 'Phantoms in Combat' book.) This was the first of three such incidents, and analysis determined that with the rear canopy gone at high airspeeds, there was too much negative pressure on the front canopy for the existing system to open and jettison it, So two small gas pistons were installed in the front rail to thrust the canopy bow upward. The books by Ed Rasimus (sp.?) provide a good contrast between the F-105 and F-4 operations and pilots in SEA as he flew both.
F4 was an aerodynamic bandaid
What’s up with the gay shit
Get that rainbow shit off the wings museum logo. Those men deserve respect. Not the alphabet crew
hm if i was the general id have you give me 500 when i was in the airforce in the early 70's i worked on them loved that airplane was a jet tech. his name rings a bell cept i think he was a major at the time. i was at castle afb and and beale, till i got into trouble got shipped to minot for 6 months then back to castle lol hell i went from e8 to airman basic 3 times lol hated 2nd lt.s they are and were complete idiots.
There's an eyepatch, and then there's the hard-shell anti-flash goggles the B-52 guys had; you might just see their influence on Star Wars. If, you know, you squint a bit.
I you hate phantoms because of their looking your skull and a 1911 need to have a nice talk😂
the FAA needs to advance with medical science and stop living in the past
810 mph (or knots maybe) on the deck, with the windshield sealant being the limiting factor. Awesome.
Cool. Flying a brick. 😄
