# Watch the Air Force’s F-35 Demo Team commander break down each of his insane aerial acrobatics

![](<https://taskandpurpose.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/19591315-1.jpg>)

Capt. Andy "Dojo" Olson may have one of the best jobs in the Air Force.

As commander of the service's [F-35 Demo Team,](<https://www.luke.af.mil/F-35-Demo-Team/>) Olson's mission is to push the fifth-generation stealth fighter to its limits and pull off the kind of aerial acrobatics that can give even the most casual observer a turgid aviation hard-on. And ahead of air show season, Olson promised to flaunt some awesome new stunts for spectators on the ground.

"This show is going to solidify the F-35 in its rightful place, just the absolute, cutting-edge stealth fighter jet here and it's ready and so capable," Olson [told](<https://www.military.com/dodbuzz/2019/03/11/f-35-demo-team-pilot-debut-all-new-moves-2019-show-season.html>) Military.com back in March. "It's just a total, absolute rage fest within 15 minutes."

Well, Olson delivered, and then some: In a new eight-minute Air Force video f[irst spotted by our friends at Popular Mechanics](<https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a27891898/f-35-pilot-aerial-stunts/>), Olson sat down to walk viewers through each one of the aerial maneuvers executed during each show:
