I had a once in a lifetime opportunity...to fly with the Blue Angels! I was super nervous getting up into the F-18 fighter jet, but I was going to be flying with one of the top pilots in the World. It was such a crazy experience feeling the G Forces when banking and spinning in the sky. This was definitely an experience that I won't forget!

That was amazing. You should take the blue angel guys crabbing with you.

I’m the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School Comms Specialist who was working there that day. It was great to meet you and your family and I’m so glad you had an awesome flight! We’ve been sharing this video among the school at USNTPS - you captured the experience so well 😊

Unbelievable. You are among a small group of civilians who have flown in an F-18 fighter jet.
God bless America. We are so fortunate to be here.

100% proud of you for not yacking or passing out; it is rare. This Demo you experienced is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime thing! You have been able to take a ride with undoubtedly the best of the best in Naval Aviation. The Blue Angels are the epitome of aviation demonstrations! Super happy that you got to experience it!

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy so happy for you

Time to paint the hydrofoil boat like a Blue Angel.

No one can fathom how physical it is to fly a fighter until they experience it. It's one of the biggest reasons flight school candidates transition to heavies. Glad you had fun.

THEY LISTENED!!.
HELL YA LUKE, you didn’t pass out or throw up. Really impressive.

I was in the Blue Angels from 22 to the end of 25 and when we went to Maryland when I was on the team I mentioned you by name aswell with other YouTubers for VIP rides saddly I didn’t get to see it as I have been watching you for years but I am so happy you got to to do it and meet the team and our 7geeks. And you did better then I did on my backseat right 😂😂

CONGRATS!!

Of all the videos you’ve posted Luke this one, without a doubt, is probably the wildest and the best. Every year when the Angels come to Seattle you can see them flying their planes all over the city and I’ve always wondered what riding with them would be like. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us.

Dude this video is badass. I think you might be one those people who just genetically handle G’s better than average. The fact you stayed awake for every maneuver is impressive. And the footage from the boat. DUUUUUDE. This is so cool.

As a retired Naval Officer, I am so jealous. I was a submariner, and the Jet Jockeys were always crazy. Glad you got to be a part of this.

It's a massive complement to you and everyone working with you that you have made it to this stage. Enjoy.

The G tolerance of fighter pilots is insane, I can't imagine trying to fly a $75 million jet in a dogfight while almost blacking out.

@TammyLeatherwood 3 months ago

AMAZING!!!! This was absolutely amazing Luke! This video should go viral! What an adventure of a lifetime. Thank you so much for taking us on the flight with you!!!

I know we only get glimpses into your life, but I wish I had 10% of your work ethic and fearlessness. I would've thrown up all morning before the flight and then immediately passed out when the canopy closed.

@kevins4229 3 months ago

You did a really good job Luke. Even the most fit, athletic people can't handle 6G's and pass out, you impressed me!

@masterbasser4693 3 months ago

What a badass experience ... Thanks for taking us along 💪🏿

@josephwalter141 3 months ago

Dude seriously impressive. I have watched so many YouTubers and celebrities fly with them and I think you may have handled that the best out of most of them. So happy for you to get to do that. Jealous as hell but happy for you 😂

@maweaver68 3 months ago

I recognized those hangars when you walked in. I was stationed there from 1988 to 1991. You did great on your ride. I am a bit jealous.

Luke, You are one lucky guy to have had the opportunity to fly with the ⚓Navy's Blue Angels. What an incredible ride! Hitting 729 mph and pulling 7.4 Gs is absolutely crazy. I need to make a trip over to Jumper's, say hello, and grab some crabs 🦀soon!
Thanks for sharing the experience—it looked amazing.
