Jetting into the weekend like... #F16

We need your help to decide which one is best for #PACAF Photo of the Week! #F16 or #F22 ?

Now that is how you launch an #F16! #StartTheDayOutRight #Airmen

Ukrainian Officials: F-16 ‘Super Effective’ at Downing Russia Drones But Challenges Remain

The F-16 can't fly slower than about 2x the speed of a Geran-2. The M61 Vulcan is usually employed at 2k ft out for accuracy. That means pilots have less than 10 seconds to make the shot and change course before eating a ball of shrapnel.

Ukraine says its F-16s shot down 1,100 drones in October. They're relying heavily on the gun because missiles are scarce, that is asking a lot of the pilot guys

Наш красень F-16.

報告、 1/32 F-16 ギリギリ無事でした！！！ (´；ω；｀)

🇦🇷 | LOS F-16 ARGENTINOS REALIZARON SUS PRIMEROS VUELOS NOCTURNOS. 💪🇦🇷🌙🦅 En la jornada de ayer, 5 de noviembre, los F-16 Fighting Falcon de la Fuerza Aérea Argentina realizaron sus primeros vuelos nocturnos en el país, marcando un nuevo avance en el proceso de formación y adiestramiento de las tripulaciones del nuevo sistema de armas. Esta actividad representa un paso importante dentro del Programa F-16 «Peace Cóndor», que continúa avanzando en la incorporación progresiva de nuevas capacidades y en la preparación del personal para operar el moderno caza multirrol. De esta manera, la Fuerza Aérea Argentina, junto a Top Aces, continúa ampliando las posibilidades operativas de sus F-16 y avanzando en la consolidación de una nueva etapa para la aviación de combate nacional, con miras a operar los F-16AM/BM de acuerdo con los más altos estándares internacionales. ¡Un nuevo paso en la recuperación de las capacidades de la Fuerza Aérea Argentina! 💪🇦🇷 ¡NHQP! 🇦🇷 🎥Matias Ortiz #Argentina #FuerzaAereaArgentina #F16 #F16FightingFalcon #LockheedMartin

This is an F-16 lighting the afterburner on a dusk takeoff, and the best design choice on it is one you can't see this jet is built to be unstable on purpose. A stable plane wants to hold its heading, so it fights you when you try to turn. An unstable one wants to move, so it snaps into a turn the moment you ask. A flight computer makes hundreds of small corrections every second to keep it flying straight, and the pilot never feels it. That's also why the stick is a small force-sensing one on the right side, and why the seat is tilted back 30° to help him stay conscious at 9 g. The cost is that the jet needs that computer to fly at all, and it has only one engine. Hang fuel tanks and bombs under the wings like in this clip and you give up some of that agility. one engine makes about 23,800 to 29,200 lbf in afterburner, depending on the version. A clean F-16 weighs about 26,500 lb at takeoff, so on the stronger engines it has more thrust than weight. It needs about 2,500 ft of runway at training weight.

The F-35 has a customer problem, and it isn't about the jet! In March, Switzerland said it would buy about 30 F-35As instead of 36, as rising costs pushed the deal beyond its original voter-approved financial framework. Canada received its first two F-35s in October, but its planned order of 88 is still under review, with only the first 16 financially committed. Plus... 1/3

It was a real treat to get to see Taylor Hiester “FEMA” one last time as he flew for the F-16 Viper Demo Team at the Atlanta Air Show—especially with the plane sporting the F-16 50th anniversary YF-16 colors.
