I love the F-16’s unobstructed pilot visibility provided by its one-piece frameless “bubble” canopy. 👍

[@X3MAntics]

This is just too badass man. I'm like in awe of how casual a day it is for him.

[@vannesthardware4268]

Lots of prep to do this everyday but then seems effortless. The synergy of man and machine is awesome. Love it.

[@ЭдуардАртамонов-ф5ф]

Спасибо!

[@Swizzlestik]

You know what sucks, when you are done flying and retire from the military. Nothing will ever compare to the amazing thrills you got to experience and get paid to do it. Thanks for serving this country and I hope you stay safe!

[@glennoc8585]

I've met combat pilots that said that they were happy to move to civilian airlines. It's like everything you get used to it and the thrill becomes just routine. If you ride a rollercoaster ride everyday for a year you'd get bored and feel less fear. Some ex sir force pilots go on to the acrobat red bull type racing, if they seek that adrenaline flying.

[@erichoffman2243]

You're exactly right! I flew Apache gunships for 16 years. I retired 6 years ago and have been flying civilian EMS ever since. The difference is night and day. Flying the Apache was an amazing experience and a total thrill. I never got tired of the Apache and still miss flying it. Flying civilian EMS can be summed up in one word....BORING! I could transition over to the airlines but that looks even more boring. Like GlennOC here said, if you want excitement and/or adrenaline flying there are very few places to look other than air racing or maybe aerial hog hunting down south.

[@zohrab22]

A couple of months ago, I dropped into a FBO and none other than the Raptor demo pilot was there waiting for his slot at a nearby airshow. He was talking to a couple of guys there and was saying that, as much as he loves flying the Raptor, the most enjoyable flying he does is buzzing around the Alaskan wilderness in a Super Cub with no doors. Maybe he was just trying to make us mortals feel better about the fact that we will never fly the Raptor, but I think I can relate, kinda. By far the most fun flying I've done (and I've flown in some gnarly machines) was in open-cockpit ultralights.

[@crazyralph6386]

@@erichoffman2243 I felt the same when flying Astar and 500’s in the wild, to EMS. Like going from a hardcore Metallica listener, to Barry Manilow Lol!! But don’t let BORING(monotony) turn into complacency. EMT is probably the most dangerous profession in helicopter ops, and it’s a lot harder than most people think. Flying in blackhole illusions, shooting IFR approaches, shift work, flying through weather and not around it, while landing near power lines on a daily basis, is quite challenging, but like you said, not as thrilling as scud running at 150mph with the world at your feet? It’s even more challenging when you’re single pilot without NVG’s!

[@SkyLifeFlyer]

I was on that crowd , to hear that engine roar, is the kind of experience that nothing else can achieve. Awesome video! Thanks for sharing this!

[@Goldarr1900]

I like the sonic boom, but it was an F-4 phantom 2. Passed very low my ears were ringing for a while, I couldn’t stand another sonic boom, so I covered my ears as it came around again.

[@SkyLifeFlyer]

@@Goldarr1900 totally get your point, is not healthy as such. And I actually do cover my ears in as well, you don't want to lose them, but it goes beyond the sound, still amazes me how you feel it in your chest, it just gives you goosebumps

[@Goldarr1900]

@@SkyLifeFlyer I agree Is an amazing sight. Video doesn’t do it Justice.

[@dingo3432]

I just love the unobstructed view from the F-16’s canopy. I was blown away as a kid when I learned it used a fly-by-wire system and a side stick.

[@casianocruz8378]

What is fly by wire?

[@dingo3432]

@@casianocruz8378 Fly-by-wire uses directional electronic pressure input instead of a direct physical to hydraulic linkage to the control surfaces of an aircraft. Much like today’s game controllers. This enabled General Dynamics to place the control stick on the right side of the cockpit as opposed to the conventional center placement. The avionics also also corrected for unstable input from the pilot which would compromise flight stability.

[@casianocruz8378]

@@dingo3432 thanks always wondered what fly-by-wire meant!

[@Horizon344]

Nice film, thx. Amazing range of view provided by that canopy design, it almost feels as if you're in flight without the confines of an airframe.

[@luisomg_what]

It is incredible and motivational to see how my Colombian air force collaborates with another super air force and not even have pilots with amazing capacities, I hope God gives me the capacity and health to be a pilot of the air force, and apart I LIVE NEAR THE REGION THAT IS RIONEGRO, it's great there are no words! just say thank you and come back soon! all my successes to you!

[@uwekonnigsstaddt524]

José María Córdoba airport. I did a stop over in my way to Bogotá in 1977. I just wish the FAC (Colombian Air Force) would get F-16s. But they claim they (Colombian govt) don’t the budget to purchase them. At minute 14:07 notice there is BIG bird that flies by the canopy. That is the danger of flying, and a Demo pilot is not impervious to bird strikes. Wild Weasel pilot patch on the pilot’s left shoulder. Thanks for your service. Semper Fi!

[@haruh6425]

あっという間に雲を突き抜け、ループの先に広がる小さくなった遥か彼方のベースの風景。少し怖いながらも、到底自分には叶わないパイロットという職業に憧れます。動画はいろんなロールやインメルマンターンなど、さすが高機動マルチロール機F-16ファルコンだけあって、滑らかな動きだなと興味深くとても楽しめました。当然、パイロットの腕の良さにも感心し、動画を作ってくれた事に対して、敬意と感謝の念を抱きます。

[@cf18productions89]

Love these GoPro persepectives. They never get old!

[@jonathanperry8331]

I don't even see a crowd. Was your mission to wake up the neighbors? You should change your call sign to "alarm". You are a multi-million dollar alarm clock. Just kidding this is awesome

[@JohnnyC01]

@Kevin Nix What enemies? In Yugoslawia? Yemen? Iraq? Maybe we wouldn't have any "enemies" if we would stop flying above civilians in other countries. Especially in the middle east.

[@lewiscortes1080]

It's Just probably part of the negotiations for buying a few F-16's between Colombia and USA

F 16 самый лучший истребитель четвёртого поколения в мире! Да ещё и самый красивый! P.S. Почти каждый пилот МиГа где то в глубине души хотел бы полетать на F 16.

[@pups3372]

Мне довелось в рамках программы и тд и тп, Над аэродромом и в зоне кружить - да, а воевать на нем - НЕТ! Чихнешь случайно, он по швам разойдется, его пинцетами собирали, а мой МИГ-31 - кувалдой и ключами от 36 и выше. Полет посредственный, виражи, бочки и б.развороты, педалями почти не работал, фуфло демонстрационное, так долго не навоюешь!, я 30 лет в небе, что-то знаю про все это.
