AD vs Peter Sripol

YouTube Creator Peter Sripol displays a large model F-18 as part of the US Navy's Sailor VS series.

AD VS PETER SRIPOL

In this episode of Sailor VS, YouTube engineer Peter Sripol goes head-to-head with Aviation Machinist’s Mate AD1 Defreitas to deconstruct a real Navy F-18 combustion module. Peter has a background in engineering and constructing his own model aircraft—everything from drones to soda-powered rocket planes. But working on the real thing is a whole new level. Navy Aviation Machinist’s Mates hone their craft through hours of hands-on training under the supervision of Sailors who have been right where they are. Ready and willing to offer guidance, there are hidden tricks that only they know. As Peter and AD1 Defreitas face off, bolts fly and knowledge is shared to get to the finish line faster.  This is a race of speed and style. Learn more about a career as an Aviation Machinist's Mate.
