    These were the best conditions for a flight demo I've ever seen. No clouds at all and it can be really hard to get a good idea of how fast the jet is moving because there is no frame of reference. It looked ridiculously fast in some of these sequences...faster than it's looked in other vids. But too much cloud cover and the show is ruined because you can't even see the jet half of the time. These were truly perfect conditions. Light cloud cover AND some moisture in the air to give off those awesome vapor cones during high G maneuvers, but still enough sun and blue sky to see everything the jet is doing. Awesome vid.

    Miniumum fuel, no weapons makes a hot performer even hotter. The afterburner lightoff and ensuing climbout after the slow flight pass demonstrates the power-to-weight ratio. Great videography.

    • @LRRPFco52
      @LRRPFco52 Рік тому +6

      They do the demo with 9,000lbs of internal fuel, which is more than an F-16 can even carry internally. Weapons or no weapons doesn't matter because weapon weight relative to fuel fraction is marginal. F-35s have unusually high fuel fraction.
