Experience the complete U.S. Air Force F-16 incentive flight exactly as it happened.
This is the full, unedited cockpit recording from my flight with the 416th Flight Test Squadron at Edwards Air Force Base, featuring the original cockpit audio, radio communications, and every moment of the mission from engine start to shutdown.
Unlike the documentary edit, nothing has been cut. You’ll hear the real conversations with my pilot, “Hash,” air traffic control, and the mission exactly as it unfolded.
The mission includes:
✈️ Max performance takeoff
✈️ Flying the F-16 myself
✈️ Sidewinder low-level route
✈️ Barrel roll
✈️ Auto Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto GCAS) demonstration
✈️ 9G manoeuvre
✈️ Climb to 50,000 feet
✈️ Breaking the sound barrier twice (Mach 1.58 / 1,300+ MPH)
✈️ Tower flyby and landing
This flight was conducted with the U.S. Air Force 412th Test Wing and 416th Flight Test Squadron at Edwards Air Force Base as part of the Full Throttle documentary series.

"Wat ! did he say the eject seat – jolllleeeyyy hooooooooooe"
I was awarded a 1.5 hour F-16D flight. 8.5g (no supersonic) but every airshow maneuver you’ve ever seen.😉
Something like this has been on my bucket list for decades, but it seems that one will still be in the bucket at the end. You have to be somebody "important" or have a whole lot of money but even the money wont get you in a newer fighter jet.
the person who wiped the canopy needs to do a bit of remedial pt, the water streaks would drive me nuts as a pilot
Which watch does the pilot have on? @01:35
how many pounds of fuel did you burn?
Do you ever get reprimanded for being too enthusiastic? (Not that I think your enthusiasm is a bad thing, I think It's GREAT‼️😂)
People who say the world is over populated have never been in a plane before.
So cool, I hope 1 day
The f16 is a single engine plane. I wonder how the turning sensitivity/responiveness compares to the twin engine planes
Cool your
i like'
lol at the 20 min mark….actual pilot was more worried about the go pro…..shows how relaxed that atmosphere was so cool!!
are yall talking about like some VR headset that has those measurements or actual like hard-wear on the jet? 7:05
i wonder if they can record breaking the sound barrier like this
if this isn't ai my algorithm just blessed me and yall definitely have a new subscriber!!!
For a reason I can't fully articulate, this makes life seem so fundamentally unfair.
This is my dream to experience. Id like to know what the pilot is thinking while flying, like the absolute smallest details and feel with whats going on and whats happening
that bingo on wheels touchdown got me for a sec 😀 heheheh
I always think the vapes across the wings are so freakin awesome. Modern jets are absolutely amazing.
As a maintenance technician from 73-77 that would be the ultimate experience
Даг Де Муро-АВИАверсия!!!
How can I give this a try!? 😄
Increble!
Just kind of curious Mr. Skupien,(Sir) is the guy flying with you a United States Air Force Pilot as well, or some sort of pilot at least? Sounds like dumb question but I have no clue. lol Also if ever just a regular pilot and being a civilian is such an incredible experience he is living for sure! Anyways incredible content and love your videos/ Channel Sir! ✌🏻&💙. 🫡🇺🇸
Recording with a go pro and didn’t use the speedometer over lay! Ahhh man what a missed opportunity
maybe they can find a severe storm to clean the canopy?
Maravilloso, yo quiero¡¡¡
Hey growler here DonkeyBlinder and caution may to beacon because the name past at radio, just
Better Boeing because airbus are just calculators and casino game. And so, if one time risks with satellite unconected how yo flight with airbus
Dad, we've no so very much flight together, but to eached flight with yo, have been dreaming what I wanted would.. Luvs yo..
I can't get over the canopy being so dirty 🤨
window is dirty, do you even clean yo windows bro lol
