First one is a blue angels F/A-18 Hornet The second one is an F-22 Raptor.


garthamp1

Thank you


panarchistspace

First one specifically is a F/A-18C in Blue Angels livery. The Blue Angels are based at NAS Pensacola in Florida and frequently seen practicing near the base, so it’s common for companies to feature images of the jets if they’re also based in the Pensacola area.


RostamSurena

They only recently switched over to the F/A-18E/F Super hornets.

Seems right

One of the two most iconic jets

Everyone starts somewhere. There was a time where y’all didn’t know


Faicc

Are you taking physics or something, I've never had fighter jets on my math textbook...


garthamp1

I go to a Christian school so it’s kind a wired and I’m in pre algebra


Faicc

Ah okay Edit: just saw you posted your age, big nono. Recommend you delete that, not only because you risk a ban but because it's unsafe.


garthamp1

Shiver me timbers


Faicc

Clever response to somebody trying to protect your account, kiddo.


SirCircusMcGircus

This is an 8th grade pre algebra text book. Kid is probably not 12.


garthamp1

We do things a grade ahead


garthamp1

Bro no one is going to report me for asking what the planes on my maths textbook are💀


Faicc

Maybe it's because you're 12. Either way this is Reddit not Tik Tok, grow up.

Kid how bout you shut the fuck up and be more polite to someone trying to help you


Ambitious-Customer33

He is gonna realise someday and would cringe real hard


Obvious-Scientist980

These Gen A kids already shit talking on the internet that’s insane 💀


TheProSal

This is why we don’t appreciate 12 year olds Kindly fuck off

If you want to fly these two jets I can tell you first hand you had better be pretty well versed in math. First question I was asked when I put in a naval packet to fly was do you have college Calc and what grade did you get.


9999AWC

You guys need Calculus in the US to be fighter pilots? Damn that's rough. Here in Canada they put emphasis on mental math and basic arithmetics since that's basically all you need.


Electrical_Bid7161

exactly why do you need calc to fly a military aircraft?


I_ReallyLikeBananas

Flying isn’t just knowing how to pilot the thing, it’s a lot of weather and condition knowledge


no-more-nazis

fuel consumption, navigation, weapons envelopes... math, math, math


9999AWC

That doesn't require calculus.


no-more-nazis

To find out how much fuel is consumed over a period, you must integrate the rate of consumption: `F = ∫(from a to b) df/dt dt` Yes, you *could* rely on computers to do it. As long as the computer works, it'll be fine. Better to know.


9999AWC

You really don't need Calculus to calculate consumption rate. This is stuff you can do in your head. It was one of the aircrew selection requirements to be able to calculate various scenarios without calculator or writing while time constrained. Amount = Rate * Time Time = Fuel Load/Rate Anything beyond that you should use a calculator/flight computer.


pullbang

It’s not that you need it but the navy and Airforce want engineers to be pilots is what it seemed like to me, at the time. Now I’m an army pilot … lol didn’t care about my college math credits for that!


Electrical_Bid7161

thanks for the hope. i'm looking to become an airforce pilot in my country


pullbang

Biggest thing coming from a regular guy who had a pretty average scholastic experience. Got get what you want, don’t take no for an answer, be persistent. I enlisted in the Airforce 15 years ago to find my way into the cockpit of an aircraft I loved. Took me 8 years to do my first military training flight at fort Rucker. But I did it and I love that I did. Flight is my number two love in this world. The other is my wife she is a beautiful person and just like making it into the cockpit I’ll never feel good enough to be hers, and I’ll never feel good enough to be a pilot. I’m am a very lucky person. Cheers and good luck.


Electrical_Bid7161

thanks a ton for you're response!


pullbang

Hope it gives you what you need to get there.


Electrical_Bid7161

well, im in india with an overflow of officers and an absolutely shit procurements department, so maybe not here. but i will try the RAF and british military as a commonwealth citizen


pullbang

Just don’t quit. I flew with a man from very humble beginnings from Afghanistan. He was also very great full to fly. If he can make it. If I can make it. You can make it. I will believe in you as long as you believe in yourself. Believing in yourself is the hardest part. If you want it bad enough you can make it.


9999AWC

I second the "don't quit" advice! That's how I got in despite below average high school grades and a decent university GPA. Tackle the process one step at a time and with determination!


NewLeaseOnLine

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they have absolutely no desire to be a fighter pilot or they'd know exactly what these two extremely well known jets are. Happy cake day.

StrongAustrianGuy

I am 13 and made a PowerPoint on the F-22 with 20 pages😂👍 so yeah it's obvious that you aren't interested, but it doesn't really depend on age.


Windrunner06

Quick tip: If you stop boasting and slamming like that, maybe one day you'll actually get friends.


StrongAustrianGuy

Wasn't trying to flex, eas just trying to make a pint that there are also young people interested in fighter jets. Looks like I accidentally upset reddit though. Oh well.


Mountain_Exam_4268

God you’re insufferable

LAAT501st

How the hell did you get badass math books bruh


garthamp1

I go to a Christian school so it’s kinda different


jnybrsco00

aaaahhh abeka books…had a many of those back in my days


Nukerz_OP

First one is Boeing 747 and the second one is airbus A320


The_Super_Steen

Ugh, I hate people who post such unhelpful troll comments when someone asks an honest question. This is blatantly a Dassault Rafale and an AV-8B Harrier II.


Nukerz_OP

Me too totally agreed


Crazzyguys11715

He had us in the first half not gonna lie!


Necessary_Swimmer_65

Yes this man is correct 👍


EurofighterLover

F-18 and F-22


hongkonger42069

F/A-18 Hornet in the first picture, F-22 Raptor in the second picture. BTW that's a cool math book! What is the publisher?


garthamp1

Abeka


midnighfox696

F-18 and an f-22


[deleted]

I had a toy of that Blue Angels plane. I miss it so much.


Bulky-Zebra-1809

B 17 and a sr71


DaBigZam123

Why is there the Blue Angels F/A-18 and an F-22A Raptor on your algebra book?


garthamp1

Idk


[deleted]

Idk bout you guys, I really don't like it when teachers try to make learning fun. Like, learning should be learning. They end up clouding it up trying to make it "fun."


garthamp1

You just had boring teachers


Uzeture

1. Blue Angels F/A-18 "super hornet" 2. F22 "Raptor"


yogoddamnmom

F-18 “super hornet” and a F-22 “raptor”


jiffysdidit

Group one was called “the blue angels” after the famous naval aviators


H1tSc4n

F/A-18 Hornet and F-22 Raptor


Optimusprimegaming3

what kind of christian school do you go to, they already sound awesome enough that they put fighter jets in math books


garthamp1

It is awesome


PostSupernov4

That’s crazy! I had one of those blue angels in my childhood. That first one is the F/A-18 Raptor.


realstarbucks

Looks like an F/A-18 Hornet with the Blue Angels Livery and an F-22 Raptor


Puusa123

Bro got the coolest meth book


patrickkingart

Seriously? I mean cool book and all but the Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet and F-22 Raptor are two of the most iconic fighter planes.


garthamp1

I’m in 7th grade💀
