Whoever decided to celebrate the F-16's 50th anniversary by painting this one like the original YF-16 prototype should get a raise.

@MrBen527 I love the prototype paint, and love the gray radome. Makes it look like it's still front line, combat capable. Because it is

Does yours have the yellow tractor with the engine cart and the yellow access ladder to hang on the side of the plane? I've got that same model.

FEMA is an incredible pilot and guy. I’ve met him a couple of times, including at this Oshkosh and he is so kind. He signed my F-16 50th anniversary shirt and I’ve got a couple pictures with him. I met him again last weekend at the Reno Airshow and he actually recognized me and my mom. Super sweet guy.

I will NEVER forget playing with my little model airplanes on the way to Andrews AFB airshow in the back of a 1984 Isuzu trooper… that’s exactly what the F-16 looked like, it was probably early 1990s and I was 8yo or so. Damn that brings back memories. Back when the B-1B was doing full afterburner passes. Loudest thing on earth lol. Also - the min-radius turn makes me want to throw up, we flew a WWII warbird into NAS JAX airshow a while ago and I finally got to grab some food after baking on the wing all morning… got to a food vendor right as the Viper demo dean started their run. I absolutely couldn’t believe the full AB min turn radius of that thing (and again, I’ve been watching the viper since I was a kid.) Such a cool and iconic aircraft. It’s pretty much “the” jet fighter.

1. Fighter pilots are gifted in that they can handle more Gs than the general population, 2. Trained to handle higher Gs, 3. Possibly G suit, although not sure if they wear them for airshow, I know Blue Angels dont

@andrewpulda7969 6 ай бұрын

In addition to what vince said the F-16 seat is reclined to reduce "felt Gs" on the pilot.

When the pilot taxied in the very beginning of the video, he held his right hand on the dashboard, rather than the stick, but the elevators were moving up and down as the plane rolled. Can someone explain why that was happening? Is it some kind of self stabilization, because the plan was rocking during taxi?

@BillGordon-mj6qx 6 ай бұрын

Full time fly by wire flight controls.

@XfilerD 6 ай бұрын

@@BillGordon-mj6qx oh, I know that it's fly by wire, which means the control stick is just a joystick and it sends requests to the computer that controls the surfaces. But my question is why do the elevators move when the pilot's right hand is clearly off the stick. And if there's a self stabilization mode, why is it on and on the ground. And even in flight, it feels like something like that would interfere with your control inputs. I've just never seen anything like that, so I'm curious.

@martinrps13 6 ай бұрын

@@XfilerDcould be due to the connection between the rudder and elevator

@@XfilerD Because the plane is bouncing up and down while taxiing and the fbw flight controls are still trying to level it.
