Thank you!
To me F-16 is simply a iconic of fighter jet. The looks of this jet is beautiful! No fighter can match the sexiness of this epic fighter of all time!
Contemporary dance isn't really my thing, but it's good to see the US air force sponsoring the arts, and employing those three men.
My late grandfather worked as an engineer for General Dynamics then Lockheed Martin on the F16 program. They lived near the base in Ft Worth. When I would visit them as a kid, you could hear the beautiful sounds of jet engines echoing down their 60's style stone fireplace.
To all those questioning what is going on, I will share. I was a crew chief on the beautiful F-16C/D Block 42 and 52. They are a wonderful aircraft. This is a demo and isn't done on a regular basis. We maintain radio communications during start up as a crew chief while another airman is posted at the front of the aircraft. The JFS starts and things start working. Walking under the exhaust isn't a big deal if you stay low enough. There is also a cushion of air around the jet exhaust and you can slide your hand into the nozzle safely. The other flight checks are for the flight computer and other things. Great job.
I love the flight Prep with the other officers!! thank you for doing what you do...
Impressive execution of the well disciplined ground support team!
Awesome display of one of the best fighter pilots and crew on the planet.
Watching these guys.. So professional. Must be the Air Force. They have a lot of time on their hands to practice dance moves like this.
Well I just love the sound and vipers are my favorite so this video attracted me automatically simultaneously how a pilot goes for Engine start then goes for taxi and takeoff,just amazing moreover the sound of burning fuel and all that just attracts me a lot.
Świetny samolot! I love this fighter.
Thanks for the video. I can now show my son's grandparents what he does in the USAF. Also, all the formallity is not just for show, it's about safety. They (including the pilot) know exactly where the other guy is at all times.
Love the ground crew. They look sharp. Ultimate when pilot salutes them.
Ingo this is my favorite aircraft of all times..I have done many times this check that is performed in this video :)
thanks Ingo..i enjoyed this video.
awesome audio.. great footage.. that falcon firing up is pure music to my ears
From one to ten for me is ten!!! This number is the best, great video, great sound, all ground personnel ready for anything! Thanks for sharing this spectaculaer video with the world!
My brother was at Spang from 1992-1993. Thanks for the memories!
Amazing video! Love the sound. Thanks for uploading!
Love the quick taxi out. I know it is SOP for such a long and intensive preflight, but I think the Pilot is ready to get out of there. Great video ibreuer!
