    Thanks Blanchy, Vipers are the Best. Thanks our mates in USAF. Too bad RNZAF doesn't have any Vipers of our own :(

    Funny how so many kiwis turned up to watch a jet from the 1970s 😂 SAD. While in the UK we have our own F22, eurofighter typhoon, F35 always flying about and New Zealand have the Texens to save them 😂😂

      You're assuming that the F-16 pilots requested this?
      If not, they conform to the standard instrument departure.

    Hey brotha! Nice Video, I was just down by where the fence started I love the video and you got such a good clip I lost the F-16's quite a bit with how speedy they are! Keep up the work and I think you'll be at 10k in the matter of a few months!

      Thanks glad you liked it.
      If you want to get a good vid of them try not to use your zoom to much, set it before they get to you.

    Did i hear that the F-16's took 7 minutes to get from Ch-Ch to Wanaka ?

    • @GBlanchy
      @GBlanchy  6 місяців тому +4

      US Air Force F16 pilot Ethan “Bantam” Smith said the flight to the Otago tourist town would take 30 minutes in “economy mode”, but in fast mode, the time could be cut in half to just 10 to 15 minutes.
      Not sure who started this 7 minutes gag but it’s funny.

      @@GBlanchy I first saw mention of it on the 6pm TV1 news - just another example of media misinformation and a news item concocted by someone who has ZERO knowledge about aviation.
