    THANK YOU FOR NOT ADDING MUSIC!!! So many airplane videos ruined by a music soundtrack. Nice to hear the engine, wind & pilot.

    The pilot sounds like me when the elevator is broken and I have to walk up to my flat.

    I needed a g-suit just for watching this in my chair.
  • The sound of the fighter pilot add so much to this video. From the ground, or in a movie, it seems to be so easy. But with the sound from the pilot it gets to a completely new level. What an amazing task they perform. I guess none of us can imagine how it is to be at work at +9G. Hat off for all fighter pilots, you are very special.
  • Now I know that being a combat pilot is tough work every second in the air. Before I thought it was just like playing a video game, even though I already know about G-Force, but after seeing this video and hearing the pilot's voice I can imagine how heavy it is. All my respect to all the combat pilots in the world, wherever you are ...

    Thanks for including the pilots breathing! It shows how difficult it is rolling all those G's in quick succession. Great video.

    As a humble aviation enthusiast without any stick time, I’m really amazed by the flight control system in Gripen. It seems really precise and and smooth, compared to some other types with fly-by-wire. It might just be my impression though. This pilot is obviously incredibly skillful, regardless.

    When you can feel his struggles through his groans... -3 to 9g is nuts

    I just came back from flying in a figher jet as a tourist and I just have to say that this is CRAZY. I am a fit 30 year old male, and even 4.5G for 6-7 seconds was really tough on me. The highest I hit was 6.5G for about 2 seconds and I can tell you I was glad when those 2 seconds were up. The fact that this guy pulls 9G for like 10 seconds over and over again while maneuvering the plane brilliantly is just crazy. Big big kudos to all the figher pilots out there. Damn impressive.

    Being a fighter pilot was one of childhood ambition. I would return to watch this video every once in a while to live up the feeling! Great video
  • @linmajon
    This is one of the best airplane clips i have ever seen. Excellent footage, the simultaneous views, excellent sound with pilot breathing, the huge clear G meter with super refresh rate. Cannot be much better than this. And the flight is really breathtaking as well. Very Well done SAAB!
  • @n1msu
    Wow this is a completely unique video, showing all this info in one video. Even though we don't have any Gripen in the RAF (I'm from England). I'm glad that we are allies with a country with such an awesome aircraft!
