@FromNorway The 16 might be the best pure dogfighter ever made, but in a world of stealth the 35 is the way to go. Makes me sad, being a lifelong incurable fanatic of legacy fighters.
the most beautiful aircraft ever designed! Also one of the most deadly! Out of all the fighter planes in history whether it be a P-47 Thunderbolt or a P-51 Mustang or an F4U Corsair the most beautiful and the most deadly here we are almost 40 years later and in a dog fight nothing can compare to the F-16 hands down the best!
it is moving. Even slightly but its moving. if you ever get to see one up close while its powered up, take a look at its control surfaces. A slight trickle will be seen, as the lfight control system provides constant adjustments of positions. Heck, even in this video, pay attention to the elevator at 01:04 mark, as the pilot brakes to stop the aircraft. It causes the nose gear absorber to compress, and the aircraft to sense a pitch down movement which for the FCS system is un commanded, so it uses the elevators to compensate. These movements never stop, and when up close the whole aircraft feels like a living being, trickling and shivering
Stationeer er 12 op schiphol,mooi om te zien en goed om te horen dat die mense bezig zijn met onze veiligheid.ik ben speciaal naar Schiphol verhuisd om dat ik van de luchtvaart houd .en de F16 of F35 zijn prachtige vliegtuigen.🇾🇪
Looks like the jet just came out of major maintenance and the pilot's performing an FCF, functional check flight. The take off profile and completely clean configuration, no tanks, not even wingtip missiles is the give away.
Wrenched the very first ones at Luke AFB in the early 80's, comm, nav, ecm specialist. This was an everyday thing and it's still cool as hell 40 years later.
The f16 really is a masterpiece. Their ubiquity tends to make us take it for granted but make no mistake, it's up there with the P51D, 747 and SS Normandie as a engineering and artistic collective act if genius.
@@guaporeturns9472 It's actually a BF109. Cheap(relatively), lightweight, fast and extremely deadly. Spitfires and p-51s are more lavish designs, heavier, more expensive, also effective in their respects but not the same bang for your buck.
Top video weer!! Ik ga deze prachtBirds missen......Ze hebben in mijn inziens nog altijd die ranke elegante uitstraling , net als de Spitfire..prachtig..
Fantastic capture ! Do you mind if I use this clip in one of my videos? Of course, link back to your original video will be provided in the description. Cheers :)
For air shows the aircraft that executes the vertical climb usually has minimal fuel onboard so they are looking for a tanker pretty quick. The less weight the better the performance
Very true however this was probably among the first flyby wire jets that’s what makes it so quick and nimble and highly maneuverable it’s like a Porsche or something along those lines it’s handling it’s just fantastic👍😊
Actually once it gets transonic, the centre of pressure moves aft and goes through the centre of gravity. So at slow speed it’s unstable but once fast enough becomes stable.
I'd like to see the USAF take one F-16C, Block 30, strip it of all excess ballast, and install a GE F110-132. A 25,000 lb. jet with 32,500 lb. thrust !! Man, that would be a real rocket !!
That would be a super Performer 🚀🚀😊😊they had the F-16N and block 30's in the USAF in the past(Nineties) who came close with the F-110 Engine and lesser equipment.However because of all the G's they made in the adversary role they had a short Lifespan.
Anytime I watch these aircraft takeoff videos it's like: ok they're taxiing up and gunna take off, wait no he's gotta turn around, ok he's moving forward hear we go, nope just getting off the taxi road thing. He's lined up on the big runway now here we go! Aaaand here we... oh preflight checklist I suppose. Now he's moviiiiing and turning again😡 The engines reving this is gunna be it (creeps for two minutes to an adjacent runway.....
I was blessed enough to witness a flight test at Edwards AFB where they had a F-16 and F-22 do this same maneuver back to back. I can say without exaggerating that the F-22 capability to climb after takeoff made the F-16 look like a propeller plane from WW1. It was anime type stuff like where the big tough guy is effortlessly beaten by the new boss. The difference in capabilities was cartoonish.
C'mon man! WW1 ? Raptor is cool and all, but the Viper is no slouch! Both jets have climb rate of 50k feet a minute if pushed. Think you're overly dramatic friend.
It's the *_thrust/weight ratio_* that matters most for a fighter's climb capability, and that's almost the same for an F-15, F-16 and F-22 if all are similarly loaded.
The last year the Blue Angel s flew th F 4 , i saw them practicing at Ouenset Point RI. ,one of the flew as slow as it would go without stalling just barely above the runway, hit the afterburner, stood it basically on its tail and took off almost vertically. I think i pissed in my Tropiclal whites. Salts will know what i mean.
@@jbeukers-aviation1879 We used to have Star Wars canyon, that was the best show on earth. But sadly since the crash it has never reopened so I like you go to air bases. Cheers
@@RAMBLE_ON I saw some video's from Star Wars that is real excitement !! Sad to hear it is closed for now. It's so nice to go out for action once in a while we all need this.I will add some current and past video's each week so hope you will enjoy.
Come to the Gary/Chicago Airport for the Chicago air and water show. F16s literally park 30 feet from the fence. You can talk to the pilots as well. Been going there for the past 20 years. And it's really not downtown shitty Gary. It's right off cline Ave. 3 miles north of 80/94.
That take off and vertical hit $ in fuel just over $3200 dallors. Hard to believe but look it up, F-35 4 plus F-22 the same, on a fligth carriers, saving fuel is everything, plus such a short run way, hint cable runners. $500 for F-18 on a super carrier
The F-16 has almost 3200 kg of fuel and in full afterburner it is gone in about 8 to 9 minutes🚀😊pending on height and speed.Not using the AB let if fly for more than an hour.
@jbeukers-aviation1879 the thing gets me is on those aircraft carriers, the amount of fuel to keep them hit it on a daily basis, I don't know how many litters those aircraft carriers store on board, I know they are nuke reactors as main fuel driver those aircraft carriers, but stuff me, they are a floating city really
With an F100-PW-229 engine Max thrust with afterburner: 129.7 kN (near sea level) Specific fuel consumption with full afterburner: 197.8 kg/kN/h Total fuel consumption with full afterburner: 129.7 x 197.8 = 25,654.66 kg/h = *7.126 kg/sec* ≈ *8.9 litres/sec*
The F16 burns a years worth of car fuel usage in less than 2 hours - about 10 leters per second! I wouldnt worry too much about saving fuel for the jets!🤑
@@Clyde__Frog The F-16's fuel consumption is about 9 litres per second with *_full afterburner,_* but its average consumption during a mission is more like 1 litre per second.
Wonder if that's a regular F-16 or the viper variant of the F-16. I have to agree that any country should be paranoid to come across this fighter jet along the F-22, and obviously, the typhoon.
It is a beautiful plane. It was a great platform but its little better than a trainer today. The thing first flew fifty years ago and the prototypes even earlier. I understand its had multiple upgrades but its 300 mph slower than Russian and Chinese modern fighters and speed means alot.
the aussies are regretting the f18 after finding-out about f16 and f15.? fuel-air mixture for a more consistent thrust-to-weight ratio of rocket.? or use less G or wait for more ground-speed or use mach1-minus-winged-flight(rocket versus plane) for vertical-stability...
![[4K] F-16 Close Up and Full Afterburner Take Off!](/img/1.gif)
Still the most elegant and beautiful jet fighter in the Air Force.
👍A clean F-16 is a beauty
Too bad they were retired from the Norwegian Air Force at the end of 2021 and replaced by F-35s.

I've always loved the "chunkiness" of the F-14 series but the 16's are just so elegant.
Love it!
What’s better is watching our son do that very takeoff.
This beautiful fighter aircraft was ahead of its time and continues to be a formidable weapon for USAF.
With the newer engines, they put on these F-16s. They’re clean out of sight man they can really perform.👍😊
Insane acceleration.....and what a beautiful jet
A 6 seconds take off is wild, even for a F-16😊
Watched so many different take-offs and never fail to be impressed.
Even when stopped that thing looks like it is moving, what a beautiful aircraft.

Out off sight in blink off an eye. Such a beautiful fighter jet..
👍Fully agree
I was in the AF at Eielson AFB, AK back in 1976 when this aircraft was being cold weather tested. Watching that vertical flight was amazing back then.

Beautiful war plane....f 16 and a4 skyhawk 2 of my favourites
10 feet off the ground....Gear UP ! Love it
Still a viable fighter 48 years after its first flight! WoW!!!
Was surprised to see it roll out. Never seen one before
Heck yea!!! Awsome doesnt do it justice!!!
I used to love the Tomcat in DCS but there's almost no going back after flying the Viper. It's an PERFECT Dogfighter. She's a beautiful bird.
I watched the timer... 10 seconds from standing to lift off!
It was very light since it didn't have any external load or fuel tanks. Maybe the internal tanks also were less than full.
My WT9 can do half that
I counted 8

I like the looks of the shock diamonds.
I didn't realize how small F-16 compared to other fighter jets like F-22 😅
Pilots say you don't fly in it. You wear it!
The F-22 is among the largest and most powerful fighters, with over 20,000 pounds higher maximum thrust than an F-15.
I was blessed enough to witness a flight test at Edwards AFB where they had a F-16 and F-22 do this same maneuver back to back.

So, does the F-16 ever take-off without afterburner?
Yes, most takeoffs are milpower
I want one 😏
God I miss that jet!
Awesome how they let you get so close to planes. Wish I could get as close for my videos of takeoff's here in US
Yes we still have some nice spotting places👍, although in general it decreased during the years and is replaced by higher fences and longer distances.

No it wasn't.
Yeah you’re super wrong about that. F15 was doing it before the Falcon. Probably others also.
