How'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.

Oh man this looks AMAZING!

I like that we can still understand what's going on with multiple entertaining dictation mistakes. Looking forward to the video!

MR

I'm so envious! What an amazing opportunity! Did you see the latest Mythbusters where Jamie just went up in a U2? Wow!

Aaron Lindemann

Awesome 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) =)

Maarten Daalder

Are you sure you did a barrel roll? It wasn't an aileron roll? :P

Chris Phillips

I'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.

Alissa

I am so happy you got to do this!! I also look forward to the video/pictures. Better you than me.

Kristy

Brings back some very fond memories -- aileron rolls in F-16s! So glad you got to have that experience!!!

Heather Brooks

I 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.

Logan

Hey Cole! Things are indeed well! Looks like this whole "Patreon" thing is going well for you!

Every nine year old's dream come true! Of course, we never stop being nine years old, we just get better at it! :P

Destin, 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.

I flew in C-130s, a C-17, and even a C-5 in Operation Iraqi Freedom, when I was a CCATT! Back in ye olde days, I was a Flight Surgeon at Eglin AFB, and back-seated F-16s. The pilots let me have some stick time. I didn't barf, either -- but oh boy, they tried!

Paul Friz

How did you get this amazing opportunity?

Robert Keiser

Woohoo! Time to do some of that pilot stuff, Destin!

Frank Graffagnino

ok, 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.

Mitch Spacone

Did you get to experience any positive or negative G's?

Twisted Haywire

well 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",

Luuk Plasmeyer

Dude, 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?

Graeme Gets

So Jealous - Looking forward to the video

T38 are the jets which the astronauts use for space-shuttle pilot-training, aren't they? any vids?
