F-16 Engine run, Iraq
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июн 2008
- On deployment to Iraq, one of our block 30 F-16c models had a generator failure. The 60 KVA (main) generator was replaced and I had to run the jet to perform ops' checks. Enjoy!!

That's crazy how accurate the start sequences is in DCS. Everything seemed familiar to me.
Falcon bms is more accurate
@@jrfirefiher Well yeah, the game is dedicated to only the f-16
well yeah, DCS F-16 is based off the real thing🤷🏽♂️
@@jrfirefiher Not in radar modes.
@@gigantrejser4926 Depends on the block tho
Same startup sequence as in my old Honda Civic.
You know you've played too much DCS world when you see the fuel gauge and immediately know the plane has two wing tanks, but no centerline tank.
yh ikr😂
yup
its sounds so similar aswell lol
@@harperchance6793 shut up u scam. no one cares
a healthy amount of knowledge :P
If I had to work on those things on the ground and have to watch other people fly them I would go insane.
Same
if i work it, im sure iraq gonna win it
so would I, I have no idea how anybody would be ok with that and not go insane, thats probably what caused one guy to steal an A-4 skyhawk back in the day.
There's always the option of submitting a request for a checkride. Sometimes the mechanic has to take the car for a test drive. Now all you have to do is, commandeer a two-seater.
I worked 15's, not 16's, but you really don't. After a while they just become a pain in the ass and no longer cool.
Man DCS is just getting better and better. The realism is off the chart.
*cough* BMS.... *cough*
@Heitzsche Damn, that brings back some good memories! Falcon 4 pilot from back in the day. Be well, H. 👍.
I wish my car made these sounds when I started up in the morning, hell I would happily wait through the warm up period. Kick ass machine!
prosimulate I wish the same
Do you know there was a motorcycle which had helicopter engine. It made such sound.
Да хуй ты угадал. Скорее всего не услышишь в скором будущем по утрам никакого запуска двигателя, потому как на электротяге будем ездить.
Jay Leno owns a Jet car. It was almost a retail reality in the early 60's.
If my car made those sound, I would GTFO. Something's wrong with that engine, and could shoot you straight to 40,000 feet AGL. Rather uncomfortable up there in a Ford Focus without oxygen mask, I heard.
Amazing aircraft. All these years and still relevant! Thank you for posting.
Yea man all these years and still the top dog fighter ... in a pure no electronic's airplane to airplane fight :)
@@raydolinger1980 Well it's far from the top dogfighter in a "pure no electronic airplane to airplane fight", take a M2K in front of him it will outperform a F16 in this case
@@xenio8736 the mirage? oh please
@@kamraam1464 wich mirage?
@Daniel-tv9tb when it's in the air it's good but really it's old and 17 hours of matinance for every flying hour comaired to 3.2 hour matinance every hour f.22
need washing
Iraq is dusty
Cianisboss
shut up
you the dusty
@@user-nf9no5lz3h you the dusty lol, don't know why but that cracked me up
Good luck. Moon dust gets into everything, instantly, and you can never truly get rid of it. We have the same shit here, just ours is red.
Fuck you and USA
Awesome engine sound and awesome video! Professional!
My favorite F16 video.
Judging from the look of metalic components in particular where does the metal meet plastic and taking note of the multidisplay screens, this F16 has been in service for DECADES.
They have limit, even though the airplane still in good condition, they will be sent to scrapyard after 20-35 years
Well the description already states that it’s a Block 30. First Blk30s were fielded in 1987. I’d guess mainstream adoption to be somewhere in the mid to late 1990s. On top of that, there could’ve been tape upgrades

I meant in active duty, in use.
@@nahidhkurdi6740 current active duty Vipers are F16C Blk50/52 running tape M7/8
@@AliBaba-vw7mo Not Everywhere.
Thanks for showing this. Last time I did an engine run, was in 2004 (315 sqn).
I completely forgot the sequence.
Ook een trots 315 gezinslid hier. Mooiste en beste squadron van de KLu. Fijne tijd gehad met die groep🤘🏻
Thanks you so much for the view! That's what you can call fan service.
I like watching airplane videos looking backward, but watching the pilot POV or the startup sequence like this so near is way better :)
I remember watching the ground crew doing these start-up tests when I was in Japan. I always wondered why they made so much noise before the engine started up. I loved being a hvac tech in the USAF. We got to see really cool stuff, like this, by just doing our job.
OMG I want to touch all of those buttons!!
ltsmum3316 😂😂😂
You can join the military they let you touch them take the boxes out put them back in heck they even let you wash the plane.
Touch these
such a sexy jet, must touch :D
@@willwarden2603 don't forget wing walk and b-man
I could not be a crew chief. I would be too tempted to close the canopy and take that puppy off.
+Matthew McKay Lol it's happened. That's why MX can't do taxi checks anymore!
lmao I have to find an instance of this
Matthew H. Awesome article. I love how they were rather lenient. Today, dude would have done 5 years and been given a dishonorable discharge. But you just know he did that on purpose. After all. Who could blame him.
Matthew McKay Lol I know right?
Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing.
14 years later. Vid never gets old :)
This video absolutely did not get the love it deserves, that was so cool!
Im in F22 MX myself. Good to see another aircraft once and a while.
G Primus do you play dcs?
God the desert conditions must've been hard on these things... That dust looks like it got fucking everywhere.
Feels like such a long time ago when I last ran a jet. I loved it though. Trim pad burner runs were the best at night time.
Same here man... F18s
it looks like a dirty john deer tractor inside
It’s not dirt it’s just rust
I have to say this is one exciting video, I never though that the starting procedure for a modern aircraft was so involved.
check out an Marine Corp Osprey pre run, pre warmup preflight and then its pre run, then its pre warmup and then engine warmup, then finally the preflight and takeoff. I got hung up on a service road for 29 minutes waiting on it.
Starting the aircraft is a few buttons, Main Power > Fuel > Air Bleed > Engine Start, Thats it. The rest of the stuff he was doing was mostly all avionics related, like starting ground alignment, switching on the MFD's, DED and the HUD, Testing the Warning systems, Looks like he turned on the TGP Hardpoint etc etc etc
New BMS graphics lookin fire 🔥🔥🔥
@AirlinePilot2008 thanks for giving us a look at something a lot of us may never learn let alone see in real life..
oh my fuck 9 years
Man thats so cool video! Thank You!
you have the best job in the planet! i hope fly this bird some day...
That is one dirty ass airplane. It almost looks like a WW2 bomber interior age wise.
I did all my flight training in the desert. Its called a rag and some windex.
427SuperSnake1 Calm down it's a block 30 from the 80's, it has it's own rights to be dirty.
Besides, what's a little dust going to do to analog systems?
Rainbow Soviet Dash Worn cockpits look better :)
LOL
f16s are super old
All the sand dust in this flight deck.... the aircraft must have spent years in desert environment.
When you see them at Pima, it looks like it's been sandblasted.
Well used.
That machine doesn't owe anyone a cent!
Fascinating...loved it!
I need this in my garage!!!
Just....thank You!
I’m in awe at how effortless and quickly this dude had the routine down. Shit looks cool
Parece bastante usado, mas funciona impecávelmente, impressionante!
@ AirlinePilot2008: I would love to see more vid's from you!! Great job!
grtzzz from Belguim(EU)
Ahh the good old days. Love running them things especially at night going full Aug seeing the 20 foot flame 🤣🤣
Amazing, asides from emotions that are unknown to me and the physical aspect of flying an F16, what I can say is that I KNOW THIS AIRCRAFT hhahaha :D Great video! Made my day
Very good brother!
Nice work :)
only legend to post like this i love it 🚀🩷
If I just followed EVERYTHING you just did, only having read the Falcon BMS simulator manual...... I'M ON THE RIGHT TRACK!
I knew what you were going to touch and what you wanted to sight NEXT even before you did it! I feel good. Thanks
My housing block was just across the street. Luckily, my trailer was behind one of the vehicle bunkers.
Master Arm... Always On!
a formidable aircraft....we are happy to be having them in service @ PAF
Holy geez, he had to go through like 30 buttons and knobs. He did it fast too
It's fast when you know where to put your hand and what you are doing.
Starting a jet is actually pretty straightforward, when you know what is behind it. The real pain in the ass is setting up the radio, navigation, etc.
wow amazing flying
It seems so complicated. Yet I bet with training and years of experience these pilots can handle an F16 like they would there Corvette.
I wish there was more. They don't have a whole lot of F-16 cockpit start ups.
The top-left knob at the UFC turns on the HUD as Zod917 stated and controls the HUD brightness.
Dayymn that feels really enthusiastic . you could have just taken off
I love the T.O. gotta love them. I'm avi so yeah!
SO EFFING COOL!! I LOVE VIPERS :)
I miss working on the the F16 block 30s was in the 61st amu at macdill and the 80th at Kansan the went to block 40s at moody and 555th at aviano
Great video. I'm thinking of joining the 144th fighter wing in Fresno, CA (f-16's) while I finish my degree at Fresno State. Do you think I could serve for awhile then apply to OTS for a pilot slot with that unit? I have my PPL now with about 80 hours, not that it matters a whole lot I don't think
cool video!!!
When are you planning to clean the cockpit
I've never played DCS, but this is familiar! I've only READ some of Falcon BMS manual. Only. Still, I'm like, "Yep, SEC needs to go off!"
I want this for my next birthday 😂
@AirlinePilot2008
cool! I booked 2A5X3(heavies) shipping out March 22nd
I miss G.E.s sometimes, but find P&Ws are easier to run. The EPs are easier to remember, that's for sure. Low block- yuck! lol. Got cert'd on block 25s so I could run block 40s. Originally a block 50 guy, though. I miss those!
thats true, but you forget the parking brake and external lights and some other switches:P, in Holland the pilots wait about 2 minutes to move the throttle "over the horn" they do that to burn the JFS's exhaust clean. thats why we have a big black puff of smoke coming out the JFS when it shuts down. nice vid BTW
Assume, I got to go up on an incentive ride when I was in the SCANG. Better than my time as a paratrooper.
Man Falcon BMS got it right for so long...
Wow great vid! I'm in to Falcon 4 and this vid is great at demonstrating how it's done in the real world! Was this vid prior to take off? I noticed you skipped the SMS avionics switch on the H panel. I'm looking foreward to more videos like this!
Hate to tell you but that was not a pilot, just groundcrew performing maintenance.
1:27 "PULL UP..... COUN TER...... CHAFF - FLARE....."
nice video, i swore in last wensday and now im a dep'r lol. but what is your afsc? what enlisted job would allow me to sit in the cockpit and work around the jets in general?
I love the texan accent of that guy starting the f16.
Awesome!
What is the GPS and RSU page on MFD? Can you set the codes (or reather crypto keys) for encrypted GPS on a GPS page or is it done on UFC/DED?
And where are other pages missing? Where is WPN and HSD?
Awesome video!!! Are you still around? Would love to see more!!
Hey AirlinePilot. I was wondering: I have heard on many F-16s that signature turkey-feather whine on throttle up. When the aircraft does that, what are the conditions under which it would make that sound? Do only aircraft with certain engines do that?
Yes. Only the PW engines. The GE don’t do that
Good vid. Forgot the spider lock though!!! Lol. But ur bold for the cockpit vids. Especially after that frog incident. I'll keep my cam outside so OSI don't bite me in the ass later. Good shit though!!
WOW....Microsoft Flight Sim is starting to look more Realistic Now 😱😱🤣🤣😁👍
Uauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!! Thanks, God Bless all of you...
Beautiful.
In DCS the The cleaning lady cleans the cockpit before takeoff.
What
I can hear an increasing amount of noise together with more RPM , FTT and so on, do you have to give power (i mean accelerate) after engaging the fuel flow? what happens exactly after engaging the fuel flow? thx nice video
Awesome video!
Can you tell me which G-shock model is that, please? :D
@AirlinePilot2008 Now THAT is the kind of answer I was looking for! So are the F-15 and F-16 the only US Military aircraft that make this noise?
You can recharge them on the ground though. Start 2 is standard.
That’s such a realistic simulator.
Been to PSAB and UAE with the 16's block 50's. Going to the Deid in Jan with the B-1's!!!!
@VikTheRebel spot on! And *that* is why this could never be considered a waste of resources :)
I betcha that pilot is good at soloing on a electric guitar his fingers were moving fast
0:52 is when it starts to wake up... at 1:10 it really starts to roar :-)
thank you mate , i am gonna use a f16 tomorrow :D
Wow look how much sand or dust is in it
yes, just turn on the JFS, once the JFS is on speed unlock the throttle to idle, and within a minute you're up to idle speed.
This 2 minutes worth it
Hmm yes, makes sense. Thanks!
So how much can You tell us about those indicators? S A F T are for 1,2,3,4,5. SPL and FRM has other indicators. Panel itself is not classyfied (one guy who was civilian bought the real panel and mounted it in sim).
guy knows his cockpit
so do you still manage to remember all those buttons when you're under attacked?
do u clean the inside of the cockpit? (its pretty dirty)
Falcon BMS manual says it shouldn't go above 750 or else it's a hotstart and you should unidle to 200C yet here it went way above that and he just carried on as if it's ok to do.
Am I missing something here? or is it just for longterm maintenance purposes?
Nice dj set
Were you PRF aka part of the propulsion flight?
This was a maiteneance run so not need to hit SMS. And they in the desert so I not they got live missles on them. Most maintainers would never hit the SMS switch, even if it is de-armed.
Ooow my lord give me an airline and a vacuum and I'll have the thing spotless
Damn… We sent Block 30’s over there??
