Suggestion: End the year with a traditional air show video, with the Grim Reapers doing the show. Sweet formation flying aerobatics, and so on. Of course, being virtual, you can do stuff like a low pass over the "audience" while popping flares, or maybe a starburst formation while popping flares, for that extra firesworks.
When did American fighter pilots start calling the F-16 Fighting Falcon the F-16 Viper? The story I’ve heard is that “Falcon” didn’t sound cool anymore so the pilots began informally calling it the “Viper” since that sounds more cool. Then the name eventually stuck. I really don’t see “Viper” as an improvement over “Falcon.” The falcon is the symbol of the United States, Air Force Academy, and has some patriotic significance.
@@Dad_BradThey don't. The nickname has ALWAYS been Viper. There's some arguments over why EXACTLY it has that nickname, but one of the most generally accepted ones is because of the Sci-Fi series Battlestar Galactica where the main fighter in that is called the Viper. Its official name is STILL the F-16 Fighting Falcon, even up to now. Although Lockheed Martin does call the very latest model the F-16V as a VERY obvious nod to the unofficial nickname. It's kind if like the F/A-18. The A-D variants were the Hornet with the E and F being the Super Hornet, but no one in the service calls them by that. The Super Hornet is either the Rhino or the Super Bug in those circles.
@@homeworxchannel4120You're right but everything he said is as well. The mascot for the Air Force and the Air Force Academy is in fact a Falcon not an Eagle..
Do we know if there is a way to declutter the steerpoints on the HSD? Thinking about through the inferno multiplayer server where it has all the steerpoints loaded in.
Umm. Just updated DCS. Cant see anymore my teammate, or any other planes in my HSD. :o Do I have to press something to show em? Or is this BIG bug in update?
Very informative...
if you don't understand or take advantage of the HSD you are virtually flying blind!

Falcon = F-16a Viper = F16 C bl50
The American bird is a bald eagle. Quite different than a falcon.
@@arquiricardo why do they call the C/block 50 a Viper?
