Default The best F-16 video ever made...

I have this on a VCR tape and have been wanting to YouTube it but found it already online.

It's the General Dynamics F-16 test pilot at the 1989 Paris Airshow in a borrowed jet. This was the year that the Mig 29 was shown off and performed it's world famous demo detailing how great it's ejection seat worked...oops.

I have seen a lot of F-16 vids throughout the years...but this one takes the cake.

Enjoy!

Beave

That pilot is a STUD. Damn. I would have been puking, passing out, puking, passing out, puking, passing out... not necessarily in that order.

Beave,

Same video with a newer block version (52). This was taken in Fort Worth, you can see Plant 4 all over the place and Lake Worth (3 miles from here). The second is the view from outside of the same sequence. I though I saw Buck in his -18 standing by at the ramp.

Cool vids.

Question: How is the smoke produced from/at the wingtips?.. can it be turned on and off at any time?

They are called "smokewinders".....smoke generators that look like sidewinders. Not sure if they can be switched on and off.

Yes they can be turned on and off in flight, and sometimes they just wont come back on.
Its pretty cool, they are completly self contained and no mods are required on the aircraft.
