Real Fighter Pilot Buzzes Las Vegas Strip in Combat Simulator

About this video

Max flies a simulated low-altitude pass along the Las Vegas Strip in an F-16 using Digital Combat Simulator (DCS). He proposes a hypothetical concept where Las Vegas hosts a twice-weekly fighter jet air show over the Strip, shutting down McCarran airspace for 15-minute demonstrations. Max recounts his real experiences doing photo shoots over Las Vegas while serving with the Thunderbirds, then completes the simulation with a simulated flameout approach and landing at McCarran.

Key takeaways

• Max suggests a hypothetical Vegas show concept featuring twice-weekly F-16 demonstrations over the Strip with airspace shutdowns
• Max recounts that while serving with the Thunderbirds, he performed actual photo shoots over the Las Vegas Strip with airspace shutdowns, including timing one with the Bellagio Fountains
• Max demonstrates a simulated flameout emergency landing procedure at McCarran airport in DCS after completing low-altitude Strip passes
