ive done 2g's my stomach was on my mouth ... i cant even imagine what 9.3g's feels like
I love how the pilot asks if he wants to pull more G’s. I would be in the back completely blacked and yakking everywhere 😂😂😂😂
Ces pilotes sont humbles d’une manière incroyable alors qu’ils surmontent tous les jours de leur métier une dureté et une sévérité envers leurs corps dans cette incroyable monstre qu’est le f16.
GB is the man
Gerard is high on something. Tweaking maybe even. It's obvious
excuse me, i mean not died, i mean did.
How much died you paid for this flight ??
Thank you Air Force for your service..If you want a land locked g force ride try top fuel drag racing...338 mph in 3.6 seconds. yes, thats 100 mph in 1 second
Was there too and had a ride on the F-16 Aggressor. After the third 9-g turn I got blackout :-)
Killed it
Look what goes into this shit. It’s amazing, he looks terrified ,I’d be as weLLl
At 1:40 I first understood "it will be a 90 degrees turn, of about fortyfive g´s"
I’m surprised the plane even took off with the balls of Leonidas in the passenger seat
I guess the guy at 10.00 likes crispy eyebrows.
9.3 g not bad Jerr
Lucky mofo Butler.... Ffs
One question, why Gerard Butler exits the plane and the pilot is not inside the plane ... when did he get out? since he had plenty of time to take off his anti-G suit..... are we sure that he really did an airplane ride?
Always wanted to know what it felt like to do this, now I know...it is as awesome as in the mov.. great job Gerard butler u the man.and much props to the air force pilot
Does he have blood test and a Phisical before he can fly?
So proud of our Military. Well done Guys and Gals I love ya!
You should have shouted " THIS! IS! SPARTA!"
Wow, that guy would be an amazing actor
Awesome experience.
Hahahahaha this is real its a movie
The obeisant printer serendipitously separate because thursday behaviorally obtain including a knowledgeable client. short, obnoxious fortnight
Olympus Has Flown
The fuck kinda salutes were those at 8:37?
Great experience Gerard!👍👍
is there anything Gerard doesnt know?
The man pulled a 9.3g straight of the couch 🛋🛩 solid👌
Lot of data. Just put him in and fly!
THIS is where we FIGHT 😳🤪🥴🤢
He’s About to piss his pants
I doubt pilots want to eject going that fast and I can imagine that shocking air blast when you exit the jet. If your body parts are still intact you'd have to worry about the enemy looking for you too.
Practice the ejection 😂 My buddy will get 5-10 from 6-3 real quick!
They should make all senior HS kids experience that... Give them something to be going on with into life... I'm just saying!!
Haha! That's our king!
Wow...looks like you don't fly a jet fighter...you wear it and it takes you for the rollercoaster ride of your life.
are we sure this is not behind the scene of an upcoming Badass movie of Gerard Butler
Good job Gerard!))) Hi from Russia. )
RIP - Chuck Yaeger
That's Spartas King Leonidas. He can take any G's.
Who recognised that the Airforce guys have apple watches?
Man that must have been a stress before takeoff. I just see he was not taking it slightly and he was damn right. Great guy.
You can tell In the beginning of the video he was nervous as shit lol he couldn’t stop shaking his leg 😂 Takes guts though 👏
I consider myself very lucky, my brother flew with the Thunderbirds 30 yrs ago!! It's amazing what they do
TThis EEs SuPere Mach~~
I believe they gave him the second seat😁
too bad they didn't eject him?
THAT WAS AWESOME !! Great man. Great movies. So proud of him
How cool. I have always enjoyed your on screen work. I hope you are one of the good guys.
whats that mivie name?
You know flying a fighter jet is intense when they drill the guy that hard on how to be a passenger.
I love Gerard Butler and his movies so much with all my heart.
One of the most physically demanding things you can ever experience.
9 g ,,God damn
best ride in the world IVE GOT TO DO THIS AT LEST ONE TIME BEFOR I DIE
I imagine him arriving at thermopylae within a Jet like this...
He is one of my favorite actors. He should BE the new 007 BOND
I bet those custom "name tags" on that aircraft cost about $150,000 of US tax payer's money, yeah that's our air force.
My dream
I felt nervous for him.
Every boy's dream...
Just imagine yourself in a combat situation handling all those g forces, all the while keeping a sharp eye on your foe. Conditioning, training and experience make for a good fighter pilot. Must take a lot of work, preparation and nerve.
Love this guy. Love his work !
I love seeing these interactions. You have the USAF personnel who are giddy as hell seeing Gerard Butler, a great action movie star who's life is a lot more impressive to those looking in. And you have Gerard Butler going through the training, giddy as hell about doing something the USAF personnel do every day and have gotten plenty used to it to the point where it's just routine. The most amazing thing in someone's life is that thing they have yet to do.

The best are those who achieve dreams. Good. I hope we see you in a movie flying an F35 military plane👏👏👏👏🎖🎖🥇🏅
fuck all those G, I drop my plan of taking the joy ride
100% Mr. Butler is on cocaine hahaha ,, 4;20 shows everything
Gerry B lookin old man when did that happen?
wow!
Me on take off when he pulled the nose up 🥴. I felt the G’s through my IPhone.
9yr Old Me built an F-16 & I had 2 choices of decals. I chose to use the pack that represents these Show Birds, not the combat scheme. I even painted the built model an off-white to match. I will always love the F-16...it’s like the ‘63 Split-Window Stingray Corvette; it always makes me happy to fix a gaze upon. It’s just too cool. I have a hard time choosing between the F-4E Phantom & F-16 T-Bird as my favorite. Sure, it’s dated, but Cool is Cool & BadAss is BadAss.
omg gerard butler with the thunderbirds lol m planning on doing some training like that
He endured the force of G well, he is worthy to be an actor ..! Thanks great video
The rare time Gerard Butler’s not the coolest guy in the room.
1:23
How do you get your hair so dry? Air Force personnel 9:59
he looked scared in the briefing. LMFAOOO
That was fun😎
😍
Cool stuff
9.4 wow well done.
Good lord, those half ass salutes are embarrassing. 8:35
America has complete Air superiority
I could imagine how boring it will be if the pilot keep silent
Grande GERARD
He needs to make some movie where he is a fighter pilot
Puppets doing a salute to what?????
What is wrong with Butler can he not go anywhere without the phone in his hand like a neurotic woman..... Tough guy image flattened here.
I will puked everywhere
I sure am glad they give these rides to celebrities. I mean why would you give rides to combat vets that have actually earned it?
How many Gees did he pull?
13:00 Pulls out an iphone 😂
Olympus Secured🌹🌹🌹
please somebody check his blood pressure!!!
his first words :-) OMG thats the BEST thing ive ever done in my life. Nice!
Gerald Butler is visibly nervous at the beginning 🤣
I just found this! Loved it! Way to go, Gerard!~
