I work on C130's which carry usually around 32,000 pounds of pool. Our unit had a guy transfer from F16's to 130's. If I remember correctly the F16 only has like 7,000 pounds of fuel on board, and if doing a afterburner takeoff they use most of the fuel from the fuselage tank/s. Not sure on the exact layout of F16 tanks, I'm just relaying what I remember hearing.
Awesome catch! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.
The coolest night afterburner takeoffs I have ever seen were SR-71's at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa. They would keep it in afterburner for as long as you could see it in the sky. That's why a KC-135 tanker always takes off an hour before the SR-71 does just to top it off after takeoff.
Yeah thats because the Sr-71's leaked fuel like a sieve but when in the air, the skin would heat up and start sealing all the joints keeping the fuel in. Thus is why you need a mid-air refueling after take of as I've heard that SR-71's would basically be taking off with almost nothing, and only get their full fuel load in mid-air.
@@nekomasteryoutube3232 Many years ago I had a personal tour at Edwards AFB, (friends worked there), and I got to see their SR-71 up close in the hangar. It had several drip pans under the aircraft.
its not leaking fuel if you use the afterburner. I would presume it was on afterburner until it got to a point the system would be sealed It'd probably catch fire 😂
I remember as a kid, stopping off at an raf base on a road trip. There where I think 4 f18s taking off. It was amazing, we where probably 800 metres away but you could feel them, they shock you and the ground beneath you. Was an amazing day I'll never forget it.
@@DerKaktusAvant btw If they were f18s then they wouldve been only stopping by to refuel Since the only Us fighters here are f35s and f15s of the 493rd-495th and there USAF squadrons
@@mEmEzMaN... I’m not sure on the specifics, it was a long time ago. I do remember some nerdy guy taking pictures, he said they where f18s. I’m no expert though. Again, was just telling a story.
Actually, although Wilbur died in 1912, Orville Wright died in 1948. That means he lived through both world wars, and saw the dawn of the jet age and nuclear age
I used to sneak up and sit in the cockpit during midnight shift when I was stationed at Incirlik AB, Turkey. F-16 was the newest fighter jet back then.
No problem, you have to understand where I am coming from. Been attending the Reno air races since 66, been to countless open houses and airshows plus 27 yrs working at SFO yet I have never seen a twilight afterburner takeoff. It is the best of all worlds , you can see the fighter clearly PLUS see the full length of the afterburner flame plus FEEL it ! I'll have to enjoy videos like your until my time comes !
My bro is a fighter pilot. Blessed to see these gorgeous birds fly/ takeoff with my very own eyes standing just few hundred meters away. The power is unbelievable.
If you never heard one of these fly by , it’s amazing . Sounded light a freight train overhead when one flew over my house about 500 feet above . Amazing
HL Tail 388th Fighter Wing out of Hill AFB Utah. Proud it was my first assignment and worked the first F-16's in the USAF (F-16 MOT&E) Multi-National Test and Evaluation Squadron.
If you want to feel the sound and vibrations of a jet engine just go see a jet car at a drag strip near you. It's similar and a thunderous noise / feeling when the afterburners come on. I personally go to Santapod in the UK every other year to experience it.
I just can’t believe there are actually human beings who willfully fly those machines knowing just one small mistake may mean the difference between life and death. Total respect from me, a natural born coward.🙃
I was maintenance on 16s and got an incentive ride while were TDY to NAS key west. It was the best ride ever. It was slick so we did combat takeoff, 9G turn, barrel rolls, broke the sound barrier, then the pilot almost put my face into the ASHM from opening the air brakes. To top it off I got to fly it for about 10 minutes.
I got to see a very similar sight at Duluth International Airport back in the 90s. My buddy was manager of the theater across the street, and we'd go up on the roof and watch the F-16s take off (the runway was across the highway but very visible from up there). Most of the time they took off "dry", but it was really fun when they went "wet" - those flames were half the length of the plane or a bit more. :P
@@user-zj2st3sm6g it means if they had the afterburners (reheat in British terminology) on... wet = on, dry = off. It generates significantly more thrust (and giant flames out the back) but uses a lot of fuel. Sometimes used to intercept a target briefly, or for flight training during takeoffs. :D
I see a lot of military aircraft take off and land from my house, like C-17s, C-130s, AC-130s (gunship variant) T-45s (trainer Jets) and F-16s, which is pretty cool
I heard them pass over my house heading east, pretty loud here in Valle Vista. Cloud cover too low for a visual. Skye9, did you not have a radio with your, or was there no radio traffic? I usually hear them on 271.0 and sometimes on 127.65 when they launch, but nothing but some air to air chatter after they flew over. Great video BTW!
one time when i was really little, i was at the airport when we were going to california with my brother, dad, and mom. i saw an f16 takeoff with afterburners and it was loud
fun fact- the f-16 fighter jet does not actually use a jet engine at all! it uses a ducted fan which has an afterburner which produces the coolest sound in my opinion, my all time fav
Turbofans - with or without afterburners - are generally known as jet engines, just as turbojets are. Turbojets are in fact quite rare nowadays as almost all civil and military jets today use turbofans.
That looks like march air force base in Moreno Valley, CA... The small tents the F-16's are usually docked below look IDENTICAL... if you're ever on the 215 fwy north look under the tens you'll see 2 F-16's
Action = reaction, also known as *_Newton's third law_* When lots of hot gases (mostly heated air that has been sucked in at the front) are ejected at very high speed in one direction, it produces an equal force in the opposite direction that pushes the aircraft forward. The afterburner or "fire" increases the maximum thrust by heating and thus speeding up the gases even more, but it consumes lots of fuel and is therefore only used for short periods when that extra thrust is needed.

About 11 litres/second of fuel on full afterburner i heard 😳✌️🇦🇺
that wouldnt be surprising its basicly a rocket with wings
LOL LOL
Yeah I think they have what 8 mins max of afterburner it’s really there for maneuvers and dogfighting or when you need to go very fast very quickly
F-16 still the best looking fighter jet IMHO
excellent opinion :P imo :)
I'll give that to Rafael and SU57

Does the F16 need afterburner for normal takeoff, or were the pilots just putting on a show. Very awesome.👍

I don't comprehend how jet thrust and 'fire' propels and pushes the jet forward.
Action = reaction, also known as *_Newton's third law_*
When lots of hot gases (mostly heated air that has been sucked in at the front) are ejected at very high speed in one direction, it produces an equal force in the opposite direction that pushes the aircraft forward.
The afterburner or "fire" increases the maximum thrust by heating and thus speeding up the gases even more, but it consumes lots of fuel and is therefore only used for short periods when that extra thrust is needed.
