I am proud to have helped the F-16 become one of the best multirole fighters, especially in the dogfight arena. In 1979 there were three unexplained crashes and the entire fleet was grounded. I knew the problem and independently came up with a solution. After many months to locate just the person to discuss the solution, I spoke with Lt Col Kramer at Wright Patterson AFB for about an hour to provide information for the PGCAS - Preventative Ground Collision Avoidance System. At the time, 25 of our nation's best were sequestered working on the solution, and Lt Col Kramer was very appreciative of my input. Since F-18 pilots brag they can exceed human limits using the system, and confirming the project is declassified, though I never will or have discussed the technology, I now can speak of my involvement in the success of the F-16 Falcon!! I have tried to find someone to authorize that I can go for a ride. If anyone knows where and how this can be accomplished, please let me know. I have delayed considering to have a ride due to injuries from a car crash, but have recovered well enough to enjoy the flight!! So, if anyone can have someone contact me so I can have a ride in the magnificent F-16, please have them contact me. I have talked with Col Lawhead at the pentagon and verified my involvement. Col Lawhead was surprised I had such information on a black project (I have the information because I lived it), but could not help me to schedule a ride. I contacted President Trump also, with no success. After 40 years, I think I have earned the privilege of a ride. I was in discussion to make arrangements for a ride some 35 years ago, but a crash of an F-7 with a civilian passenger caused a mandate to not have civilians as passengers for decades. That mandate has been rescinded. I hope to have my dream fulfilled before I die. In my mid 60's now, the timeclock is ticking.
Damn thats awesome if its true
Wow unbelievable but I love F 18 Superhornet too but seeing how far F 16 have evolved from initial variants to latest block 70/72 variants and the amount of world wide success and air to air kills it's just remarkable appreciate great job on the greatest fighter
@@soumyajitsingha9614 The F18 was developed from the F17 that flew against the F16 in head to head competition for the Air Force. The F16 was selected due to the superior maneuverability. But the F18 was redesigned in a few ways and made to land on an aircraft carrier as well as improving flight characteristics. I give the Navy and Marine pilots Kudos for landing on the flight deck. It is very difficult. I understand why you like the F18.
not only did you aid in the development of a wonderful fighter you have surely saved the lives of many pilots, thank you.
@@RFYS2-4 My first thoughts were for the three pilots lost. I wanted to prevent any future loss of life due to the extreme performance of the fighter. I am confident that objective was achieved.
Second thought was for enhancing the capability for Air Supremacy. This would save even more American lives. Ever since the F-16 went back into service all other fighters aspire to be an F-16.
Thank you.
The most beautiful jet fighter ever made in history
...is the Mirage 2000
@@papertoyss You are kidding right?
@@thiseas331 no mate, I prefer this delta wing.
What about f22 raptor?
Agree
Still the best fighter in the U.S. Airforce inventory. With all the modern updates it is less expensive to produce and operate than the latest F-22, and F-35 with matching performance. A real fighter pilots jet!
All fighters built since, aspire to be an F-16.
By far my favorite jet. Even on the ground it looks fast and agile as hell.
Greetings from Greece, we love F-16.

One of the best piece.🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦 thank you USA
The most sleek and beautiful multirole aircraft ever built. Even the ones from fifth generation aren’t so pretty.
Thanks to trying to replace 3 different aircraft the F-35 is downright ugly! 😕
But the Rafale... Now that's just beautiful.

Wow, what a beautifully designed fighter!
The F16C is the most beautiful jet ever build...!

World best Fighting Falcon F16 proud of Pakistan 🇵🇰
The best in this is the quality, endurance and reputation.
What a cute jet fighter.. small but terrible. Love you America its me from Philippines.
As a Pakistani I can say one thing is keeping India at bay and that is mighty F16s .
My uncle retired as a general flying the F-16 Viper he also survived the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11/01. Randall Falcon! All my life I wanted to follow in his footsteps but unfortunately I became 6’8 so I became a professional motocross racer and then an expert rc helicopter pilot after I shattered both my legs legs from stabbing the face of another tabletop jump 140 feet away. It’s super ironic that the Falcon 9 takes off on my birthday which brought the rover and helicopter to Mars on my birthday 5/30/21. I dominated motocross within 9 months. Also come back in 07 as a free racer and smoked Ryan Dungey team Suzuki #1 full factory Suzuki RMZ 450 racer in which he blew his 50,000$ Pro Circuit engine within 5 laps as I was on my 07 KTM 250 SX 2 stroke. 😎🛫🚁🇺🇸🏁❤️
Kudos!! Sorry to hear you stabbed the face of the tabletop. A Falcon flying a Falcon!! I do agree that Viper fits well.
@@BLMCFR I’m wanting to get the 90mm Viper EDF! When I started flying rc helicopters I got the Century Hawk/Falcon/Raven. But was cool to have a Falcon rc helicopter as my 1st rc helicopter. I had been simming on flying rc helicopters since 1997 then on 1/20/01 was when I had my horrific motocross accident. Which to get my mind off my accident I ordered the Century Hawk/Falcon rc helicopter as I was in a wheelchair with 15 bars drilled into my legs. It was like fate because when I found out were everyone flew rc helicopters in Pensacola Florida just so happened to be next to my local track in Milton Florida. Which I got the best of both worlds. I was able to fly my helicopters and visit my friends at the track in Milton Florida. I relearned everything all over again without taking anything for pain and worked out everyday which is why I don’t have any pain. But I plan to start flying rc Jets in EDF/FPV. I’ve been told that the Viper would be a great starter EDF. ❤️🛫🚁🏁😎
@@jasonfalcon4052 I understand what you went through while in the wheel chair. I am glad you could recover without pain! I have a 1/8 foam rc F-16. I only flew it a few times before the car crash. I have it painted in the YF-16 color scheme of mostly white, red wings, and blue belly and spine. Mine is front prop driven. Being foam, it cannot become ducted fan. Yes, it helps recovery when you can spend time with friends and do something you enjoy. An EDF Viper would be cool to fly!
@@BLMCFR thanks for the reply. It’s always great to meet someone with the same interests. I think it’s one of the greatest things a person can do while having an accident in which you get better and the sport/Hobby you picked up along the line of recovery. You could get a edf. I’ve only flown pusher prop jets which shouldn’t be a problem with being an expert rc helicopter pilot and transition into flying rc Jets. It’s what separates the men from the boys. Thanks for sharing you have a wonderful year Jeffrey Pardus. ❤️😎
@@jasonfalcon4052 Quite welcome! While recovering, I converted my milling machine to become a CNC 3 axis Mill and taught myself the line code commands to draw a CAD file, then convert it into the program file needed for the CNC mill to work. I had been faster on two and four wheels than the maximum speed allowed (Vne) for the light utility fixed wing aircraft I piloted. Those hobbies are very physically demanding, so I sharpened the mind!! Yes flying full scale rotary wing is difficult enough, but RC rotary wing is very difficult. Kudos brother! I was working to get my fixed wing license and have rotary wing license added. But life change in half a heartbeat for me. I know you can understand that one. Again, you are welcome. Happy to have the conversation! I hope your years to come are better than every other year before! Take care and have fun Jason Falcon!!
Wow awesome footage of the best fighter in the world 👏👏❤️❤️❤️💯💯
I like F-16 VIPER and FALCON nice..
F16s are the best pakistan 🇵🇰 zindabad
유쾌하고 에너지가 넘치네요.
Awesome vid, awesome plane
Beautiful video!
A masterpiece!
Pakistanis have a never ending true love for f16 ....
The reason our fighters are so good is that we have the best pilots in the world. They fight for the freedoms we all hold dear in America. GOD BLESS OUR SOLDIERS.
Your pilots go down like any other
@@hugovieira8024 our pilots are trained better than anyone in the world. Yes they can make mistakes because they are human. God bless our pilots of the US military.
@@mikebrown9997 you have SOME of the best pilots in the world.....but the worlds is big and many nations have great pilots. The thing in war isnt the most or the better but who does more with less. You may think you have all the best pilots but the reality is that you have SOME of the best pilots and most and the better tech. But as I said war isnt just that, the portuguese on a nato exercise were the only ones in the world that were able to sink the Jfk carrier with a single outdated submarine. The same goes for your pilots on f22s and f35s who you may think are the best but may be shot down by f16s or migs and su fighters. The point is even tough you have genius pilots you are not the only ones. In fact you can bet that the us would also lose many aircrafts if we were talking about a word war, not small proxy wars to wash up tax money.
Great Fighter in all world F16🌍🔥
From Pakistan 🇵🇰
Are you from terroristan? Have you forgotten mig 21
Most beautiful jet ever. So small you can put one in your garage .Love the scoop reminds me of a mopar RR 440 6pak
Length 50 ft (15 m), wingspan 33 ft (10m) and height 16 ft (5m). You said that plane so small?
@@daniel_sinaga1978 Yeh I did..............
F 16 the beast 🔥
Huge Love From Pakistan ❤
3:14 this bad boy scored a 5-1 win against Spanish Eurofighters in exercise Atlas 2018.
Good pilots count too
You mean moroccan one ??
@mandellorian Not every fighter with two engines is better. The block 52 is not a dumb fighter and with great pilots it can do wonders.
@mandellorian the block 52 and many foreign variants certainly hold their own.
@mandellorian its always about the blend, just like iphone, has always lower specs than samsung on paper, but is much smoother, faster. Same is with the jets, but more importantly, the pilot, too.
You can’t beat it considering it’s price tag for production unit cost compared to other pricier planes
The Greek "Aegean Ghost" (0:43-0:46) livery make this beautiful plane look even better!
I'm not saying it because I'm Greek, please believe me
I also like Polish livery too and secondarily Israeli and Morrocan
combat proven camo directly from the U.S. Navy aggressors! The colors only changed. the pattern is the same
@@manosr9772 That is correct, there's little difference and that is why this camo took the Aegean Ghost name
If it's camouflage then why that particular colour?
Does it make it less visible over water?
@@GonzoTehGreat Hypothetically it does. Pilots say that it is very effective over water but has disadvantage over land from certain angles. On the contrary the Israeli camo is highly effective over land, especially for its typical Middle East desert landscape. It is too bad that you can't upload pictures in the RUclips to show you a picture I have with a formation of Greek F-16s & Israeli F-15s above a greek island where the effectiveness of both camos can be seen
@@portoalex1062 I suppose planes have the same problem as soldiers:
What camouflage pattern works best for different terrain, if you can only use one?
With the 5th gen Tech of the F-35 this Plane is an awesome looking plane.. and a hungry fast hunter. It doesnt need Stealth.
Absolutely, a stealth jet is the sniper of the fighterjets, but the F16 is the GI of the jets, you can put him in any situation, he will do the job.
@@paulknapen4666 I imagine them like the guy in the container who has a remote control and a video screen for a whole lot of drones now...
I saw Pakistani pilots in f 16 ff at one place...love it....this plane is a fascination of dreams
2:28 That slow mo - goosebumps
2:58 Pride of PAF 🇵🇰
No use if donkeys are flying that thing.
@@jitendrabadgujar9341 actually, the PAF F16s shot down an Indian MiG 21 and SU30MKI and successfully provided a fighter escort for the strike formation. PAF pilots are some of the best trained in the world.
03:13 the moroccan camouflage is the best
Great F-16V for a Great nation🇬🇷💪
Yup. The sexiest fighter jet ever. It's like a small light sports car.

Sexy and deadly, there's nothing like the Viper! May she continue to fly and fight for many years. 🇺🇲
What is needed now are F-16XL Block-70s . These would have great capability as both fighter and attack aircraft .
*Definitely a world-beater !

Beautiful designed
Beast ❤️
No matter what they are still dominanting the skies till now 2020 even the f-22 has come but enemies still afraid of this f-16 because everybody knows about the capabilities of f-16 and no one can doubt about the capabilities of f-16 this jet was a role model of so many jets. So many jets came into being while trying to become another f-16 but this jet has its own class and legacy
Exactly!! Ever since the PG-CAS system was incorporated giving the F-16 Air Supremacy, all other fighters aspire to be an F-16. I helped develop the original system in 1980 as a consultant. For free. I donated the information.
If the Raptor is a .50cal sniper rifle, the Viper is a fully tac’d out M4. So damn sexy.
The most well known fighter jet in the world
The AK47 of the aircrafts. Perfect
You mean AR
I call it a modern day P-47, powerful and versatile.
The m4 carbine of the aircraft should be better
azahar udin nope F-16 didn’t come with any flaw. M4 carbine is not superior to AK-47 itself, but F-16 is definitely superior to the Soviet counterpart by every single possible way.

BEST FIGHTER JET DESIGN EVER ! HIGH MANEUVERABILITY FAST AND SEXY ! KING OF DOG FIGHT
I love this Aircraft
American fighter aircraft are high precision, razor sharp. However they can only reach their highest levels of performance with a pilot who understands their potential. This plane is the mustang of the jet fighter era. Mostly engine with a pilot strapped on.
From Romania, respect hiros f-16
This is the sexiest fighter jets in U.S airforce

Welcome to TAIWAN F16 Block 70 Viper 🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
Nice Production
One of my favourite fighter jet
Wow a great fighter jet
The first four F-16Vs entered the Chiayi Air Force Base in Taiwan in 2019 and participated in the Hanguang exercise.
I've been thinking about using this type of flying machine; that's the flying saucer jet, it works just like a helicopter but only different.
Excellent
The number one in the chilean air force, 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
The F-16 is awesome. The various configurations...Viper/XL/ F-21/Q-Drone, need to add the DNA of F-22/35 and keep building. They can be a weapons truck like the F-15EX. The USA and Israel produce an awesome F-16 variant, to keep flying and fighting for another decade easily.
A good plane in the hands of a good pilot can do wonders.
F-16 shot down Indian 01 SU-30MKI and 01 MIG-21
Respect to The PAF.
Still love this jet design👍
It’s beautifulest fighter in the world
What a beauty LOVE from Pakistan
Good to see some HAF F-16s there. Greece has one of the biggest F-16 fleets in the world
a little fact check, not trying to be mean just helpfull, Greece has 150 to 170 f-16, America has 4,000 to 4,500
What about Turkey 🇹🇷 ...245 C and D Home made
@@MubarakSultan did a fact check again and again being helpful not rude but turkey made between 220 to 240 block 30/40/50 f-16 C/D turkey is also one of only five countries to locally make the F-16's
@@joshuacrane1184 The U.S. definitely doesn't operate 4,000 to 4,500 F-16s. that's our total force of aircraft. The U.S. Air Force operates somewhere around 1,400 F-16s if I remember correctly. Still the biggest user obviously, but still.
These can be the new Colombia 🇨🇴 Air Force, hope.

THE FAMOUS EMBARGO FIGHTER SAM UNCLE EVER MADE.....
My favorite jet fighter is back...
F16:- I can kill anyone
Su 57 and f 22:- u can't kill me if u can't see me
Earlier during production development, the f16 could break into such an instant hard g turn it was rendering the pilots unconscious!
Every fighter since like 70s has that capability, to be fair. At supersonic speeds, you need a fairly slight turn to hit 10+ gs.
Loiso Pondohva Well ace! I never mentioned super sonic speeds now did I? Im speaking of dogfighting speeds! In either case the F16 was rendering the pilots unconscious when the would break into a turn during acm training an unfortunately we lost some good pilots!
If your going to comment? Read the text more thoughly! If we were dogfighting? Your mistake just got your ass smoked!!!
