2019 F-16 Viper Demo

[@michaelratliff9449]

The timeless beauty of the F16 is never-ending..especially in the hands of a USAF Pilot..Awesome!

[@billirvin9057]

I first saw the F-15 fly in 1973 when I was stationed in Thailand with the US Air Force ... it was just a few years later the F-16 was being introduced to the AF. Here it is 2019 - more than 40 years later - and both of these airframes are still serving. They are magnificent machines!

[@jeffakers1073]

I was a F16 mechanic for 18 years of my career in the Air Force. I worked in the Phase Inspection Section. I became a work leader and a supervisor. I joined the Air Force in 1978 and not long after these were in the inventory. Retired 19 years ago. Awesome! Miss those jets.

[@savarok]

The F16 has 6 years on my age but every time i watch a display it's like visual classical music,. Those lines and curves maybe nearly 37 years old , yet prove that form is temporary, CLASS is PERMANENT. RIAT 2019 is looking great now.

[@srinitaaigaura]

Incredible plane and incredible pilot. Manueverability wise there's almost nothing that can turn and roll and pull sustained G like a clean Viper. The cockpit video was unbelievable - the way it starts and stops a manuever with total knife edge precision, the humongous cockpit view (still the best). And still one of the best looking aircraft. Not one curve wrong on it. It has an ageless look. You've got one skilled pilot at the cockpit there too -- that takeoff was crazy!

[@daaerus5461]

Saw a squadron of these at high altitude doing a very loud flyover in my residential. They was gone is a flash after elevating at a leisurely pace. Impressive. Thanks to local AFB I get to catch glimpses of them from time to time as well as Raptors and Super Hornets. I love Fighters.

[@jamespruitt3159]

Still just as wicked fast and agile no matter how old it is! My first introduction to the F-16 was the Thunderbirds. I also really liked the Iron Eagle movies.

[@spencerhughes2255]

Any F-16 can be referred to as viper. It’s just a nickname for the jet. Nothing less, nothing more.

[@rosskrause3926]

That F-16 is in awesome condition and tuned up badass ! I lived at Carswell Air Force base when G D/ General Dynamics started getting these out and it was insane seeing these flying around at that time..now when I visit Fort Worth you can see the F-35's and even a few times the F-22 fly over head..Once you hear and feel the rumble the first time there is nothing like it,even 40 years later when the bad boys are flying..seeing the F-16 taxiing down the runway at many airshows at Carswell you could hear the planes engine snarling and sucking in the wind,it almost sounded like a tornado.evil sounding...man I miss those days !

In 1976 I went to the airshow at Edwards Air Force Base and I was amazed by the coolest fighter jet that I ever witnessed to see. It was the YF-16 prototype....the famous red, white and blue one. She was a beauty as all the commissioned ones who followed her. An amazing aircraft!!!

[@patrickr9606]

Hard to believe something that sleek is old tech.

[@raskew2]

I built the avionics head up display for the F-16 that Israelis bombed the Iraqi nuclear reactor core in 1981 before it went on line. The missile guidance system allowed Israeli military to fire to the reactor and return to Israel by going into the vertical and landing home

Great flying !!!

[@richardmazzara6242]

The F-16 will probably always be my favorite plane. I like the F-22, and the F-35 looks more amazing every time I watch a new video, but still nothing does a vertical climb quite like the F-16. And when you see them live, at times you can't hear 'em coming, and you don't see anything coming out of the back. So clean and quiet....it's like they're flying by magic.

[@ElwynR]

Looks like we have the F-16 Demo coming over the pond in July!! Great news but I'd still like to see the F35 Demo 😀 Nice filming 👌

[@thomasspann5378]

Was there.. the Viper rocks, and these demo pilots are awesome. While the Viper is old, its still amongst the best at what it was designed to do, dogfighting. Even the newer fighters have trouble against her. The newer fighters are designed to be even more multi-role and more stealthy. But pure knife fighting, the F16 is still a force to be feared, and economically so.

As far as pure dog fighting, the F-16 is still the equal of any fighter in the world.

[@humungous09]

In a dogfight it will be blown away to pieces by TVC Sukhoi.. It's obsolete. Rafales n Gripens are better..

[@yoyoyoyoshua]

@@humungous09 You're a complete moron if you think thrust vectoring is relevent in dogfighting. To use it you need to be slow which makes you a easy target. Also dogfighting is based on pilot skill not what the plane can do. What the plane can do doesn't mean shit when you're a shit pilot flying against someone who knows how to dogfight.

[@Chickenworm9394]

Don't bring a knife to a gun fight. This is 21st Century, a century of beyond vision warfare

[@LRRPFco52]

If you're dog fighting in the era where everyone is carrying Helmet-Cued HOBS missiles, you're going to die. Viper, Hornet, Sukhoi, Gripen, Rafale, and Typhoon pilots do everything in their power to avoid a scenario where they cross each other's 3-9 lines, and do everything in their power to stay away from each other, while relying on the reach of their weapons to engage other fighters in a long-range game of joust and countermeasures. The latest model F-16C Block 50s with Link-16 and later variant AIM-120s do a pretty good job of this.

[@265justy]

@@humungous09 Do not under estimate the F-16C...in the hands off a good pilot..it could take on anything flying today & win. A knife range dogfight is were it excels... and that is the test that shows the real flying characteristics of any fighter.. The F-16 is the benchmark fighter for that Euro trash you listed above.

If you get a vr headset and a mid tier pc you can get as close as possible to being able to own your own warbirds, even better cause you can do whatever you want in them and don’t have to pay for maintenance or fuel, not the same ofc but you can join squadrons, do airshows(like me!) and even mess around which you can’t do irl, it’s pretty fun and a lot cheaper making it accessible to many more people like me who couldn’t join the service due to conditions(my eyes aren’t very good and I’m too tall)
