Jet training.
Added 2015-07-28 18:01:39 +0000 UTCHow's it going guys? I had an incredible opportunity of flying in a trainer jet. Specifically a T-38C. I ended up having to purchase a lot of go pro gear in order to record the flight. I was able to use Patreon funds without thinking twice. Thank you so much for making that happen. I'm making a video about the handling of high performance aircraft. Obviously I'm very excited about this. Yes, I got some stick time. Yes, I did a barrel roll. No, I did not throw up.

Incredible photo. Looking forward to the video.
2015-07-31 23:07:45 +0000 UTCNice, I would love to go up in one of those

2015-07-29 12:39:22 +0000 UTCDude, that looks amazing! I once had the opportunity to get in a true F-16 simulator, I can only imagine how awesome the real deal must have been. Let's set a new goal, a Smarter Every Day video, presented by you, live from the ISS?
2015-07-29 07:16:52 +0000 UTCwell he did the wolf spider with babies a month ago. and the "The Truth About Toilet Swirl " video 4 weeks before that. also remember that he has it as pay "per video", not "per month",
2015-07-29 06:03:55 +0000 UTCDid you get to experience any positive or negative G's?
2015-07-29 03:22:57 +0000 UTCok, we're happy for you and everything, but one of the most important metrics of something like this is... how many Top Gun quotes did you have from the back seat? I mean... you ARE Goose.
2015-07-29 01:25:47 +0000 UTCWoohoo! Time to do some of that pilot stuff, Destin!

2015-07-29 00:16:57 +0000 UTCDestin, I don't know what's going on but I haven't seen a true video from you in months. The teaser above does not lead to a video, in fact, it does nothing for me. It makes me regret being a patron.

2015-07-28 19:16:54 +0000 UTCI was going to make a joke about Uncle Sam and Auto Correct also approving of using your patriotic funds, but you already fixed it. :P Can't wait to see you do a barrel roll.

2015-07-28 19:13:04 +0000 UTCBrings back some very fond memories -- aileron rolls in F-16s! So glad you got to have that experience!!!

2015-07-28 19:12:23 +0000 UTCI am so happy you got to do this!! I also look forward to the video/pictures. Better you than me.
2015-07-28 19:04:44 +0000 UTCEnjoy,I can't wait to see pictures.

2015-07-28 18:43:59 +0000 UTCI've done a barrel roll - it's pretty unmistakable, but a bit old fashioned nowadays - aileron rolls are faster and flashier, but lack the style and grace of a barrel roll.
Chris Phillips
2015-07-28 18:38:20 +0000 UTCAre you sure you did a barrel roll? It wasn't an aileron roll? :P

2015-07-28 18:30:44 +0000 UTCAwesome shot. I'm happy you're able to document this experience and share it with us. You are on the razors edge (figuratively that is) =)
2015-07-28 18:27:25 +0000 UTCI'm so envious! What an amazing opportunity! Did you see the latest Mythbusters where Jamie just went up in a U2? Wow!
2015-07-28 18:19:40 +0000 UTCI like that we can still understand what's going on with multiple entertaining dictation mistakes. Looking forward to the video!
