f16

[Addy33]

hello, in my eyes is a General Dynamics f16 also an icon.
it is still on duty in a lot of counrys,but it is realy an awesome plane.
this dutch one is (they say in holland) one of the most evolved in the world.
this one is in our national colours, and in the hands of one of our nations finest pilots

Back around the time XH558 was at Volkel
this year we saw quite a bit about your "Sheik".
Really a one-man display team, isn't he?
Beautiful aircraft, too!

Quite like it

Even after all these years, the F-16 just looks right and flies right.

Saying that, it must be very odd just having that diddy little joystick on the right hand side for flying.

Bit like FSX but with ATTITUDE.......


Oh listen to the sound track and you can here 558 in the background...........
17 34 seconds worth. Sneaky insertions afterwards too.

That was my favourite display at RIAT this year and was gutted I missed it everywhere else

The F-16 is my favourite modern military display at any airshow, so graceful yet at the same time heart-stopping with some of it's rather "unhinged" maneuvers like the wing-wave. Between the Dutch and the Belgian F-16 display teams the Dutch win with the colour of theirs (I like to call it Tango) but the Belgian team have an excellent display programme, the display at Duxford Autumn this year was simply outstanding
