I talked to the Pilot "vrieske" @ the airshow in Belgium last year, very nice guy, glad I took a picture & could see him perform his last show... what a guy

[@The.ChangeInTime]

That's cool. He really is a nice guy. Fellow spotter met him in the super market during RIAT. He asked him to do a top side knife edge past the grandstand on the departure day. Guess what he pulled 🤩 Exactly this maneuver🫡🥳 (got a short video online)

This is one of the best demos I have seen. Not even a huge F-16 fan, but this guy flies like it a boss.. I like how it really lays into the rudder doing rolls for major corkscrew effect(or whatever... ;) ) Awesome flying!

[@kittyhawk2819]

Fully agree... and I have seen many.. That demo was absolutely 🔝🌰 nuts. Dude went on afterburner almost all the time. Even looks like thrust vectoring at some point 😱

[@The.ChangeInTime]

Glad I could bring that to your screen 🙂 Agreed - and adding flares to the corkscrew made it even better 😎

[@The.ChangeInTime]

@@kittyhawk2819 That's🔥🔥🔥

[@koeneggers5693]

The pilot has 5000 hours on f16 , that's why 😉

[@Landing_in_MSFS]

yeah, I am als not the biggest F16 fan but this man is just different, saw him in Belgium and I was just amazed how he could do moves like that!

[@davidca96]

Love watching Belgian pilots, they fly really aggressive and wild (in a good way)

[@janbuyck1]

Very proud of our ‘ Vrieske ‘

[@The.ChangeInTime]

Yeah - I believe so. He performed an amazing display with the F-16 😎

[@philipwright2883]

This is probably the best F-16 pilot I’ve ever seen

[@runningleon9598]

This airplane has more than 40 years, and It still Is Amazing in its agility, manouvrability and Power. You can immagin how Revolutionary it was when It start its service?!

[@Tbonyandsteak]

When I first saw it in an airshow when my country got it, it was obvious that was something extra ordinary, from the Draken we had at time.

[@theboywhodroveaway7954]

What a great looking F-16 and display! Thanks for bringing this to my screen!

[@The.ChangeInTime]

You're more than welcome. Glad you like it. The paint job on this Vipder is indedd spectacular 😍

You’ve clearly never seen the USAF viper demo team, certainly not the F-22 or F-35. The Vioer demo min-radius turn makes me want to black out just watching it.

[@dphotos007]

For safety reason both for the pilot and the crowd that is why we do not see US military pilots fly like this. This pilot was flying way to many dangerous maneuvers that were too close to the ground.

[@oldpain7625]

That's a sick paint job

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Finally a demo pilot who really can fly an F-16! He has amazing skills. Also love how he uses flares. Love the paint job on the jet too!

[@CalimehChelonia]

Amazing!

[@douglas_brighty_tan127]

Absolutely marvellous maneuvers 👍😎

[@marcoceoletta5492]

Perfect machine, perfect pilota! Astonishing!

[@garyyoung4074]

Pilot uses alot of high alpha manuvers I've not seen in US demos. Maybe to keep speed down for spectators and really show the crazy manuverability this aircraft was aways capable of. Most F-16 pilots I talked with who flew in Iraq were just HOPING to get into an air to air w/enemy. It is every bit as good as F-15 in ACM. Even today, an opposing enemy pilot would not want F-16's hunting them. Amazing little jet!

[@anthonyfuqua6988]

Funner to fly probably but I'd take the F-15.

[@kittyhawk2819]

Rocket 🔥

[@derFlake]

He flies the Viper like a Hornet/Rhino.. 😱

[@The.ChangeInTime]

Now that's a decent comparison 😄

Some copper injection into the afterburner would go great with the green viper theme.

[@kittyhawk2819]

What is that whistle sound at 0:45?

[@sylvaindudrip341]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH3LoIicmZmmnrM

[@The.ChangeInTime]

Not an aircraft mechanic but it seems to be related to reduction of thrust. I have heard it many times with the F-16, especially during landing (short final). Might be some sort of valve opening or air flow at the intake duct that creates the sound.

[@TheBullBelgium]

@@The.ChangeInTime More like a "Tweeeeeeeek" sound than a whistle.... Gear down, throttle - idle = nozzle full open... Anytime you hear a pratt go to idle (with the gear down), the nozzle schedules from normal to full open

[@kittyhawk2819]

@@TheBullBelgium thx for the explanation

[@tomekkalinowski8845]

Related with nozzle movement. Normally, the nozzle is moving by hydraulic actuator, in F-100-PW-22x engine nozzle is "accelerated" by part of engine exhaust gas, so you can here zipping sound. No zipp sound means hydraulic actuator, in case F-16 will be a GE motor.
