A test pilot jams out in his old school F-16 Fighting Falcon, going from brake release to 15,000 feet in under a minute.

The dizzying footage, shot by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) Test Pilot Murat Keles shows his backseater Murat Ozpala as they give a Pakistani Air Force F-16B trainer a workout. The U.S. Air Force and reserves operate 1,245 F-16s, but are much more modern variants.

TAI is upgrading the Pakistani’s fleet of 1980’s era Block 15 Falcons to extend their service life and allow them to carry a wider array of the latest smart weapons.

And it looks like they are doing a pretty good job.

The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle is the training ground at sea for future officers of the service, but its no cruise ship.

Captured from the Germans at the end of World War II, USCGC Eagle is a 290 foot long training vessel originally built in 1936. Although she has a big Caterpillar diesel below decks for when the wind isn’t blowing, her main mode of transportation are her masts and sails that tower as high as 150 feet above deck.

While she has the nickname of “America’s Tall Ship” and is seen round the world waving the flag, her bread and butter is training cadets from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy as well as NOAA Officer Candidates.

And all those sails don’t raise themselves.
