The F-15 are showing signes of fatigue on the Airframes and the entire fleet has been grounded 3 time in short succession after several incidents where they fell apart mid flight. It's only a matter of time before the early built blocks start showing the same problem. Its bettter for the lives of the pilots. Besides its like driving a 1970 ford F-100; There is far better technology now to put in jets and we need to stay up to date to be a lethal fighting force.

hes going relativle slow through it all so id guess around 6 on average but during some of the turns it looked more like 3

I wonder how many G's Major Koltes is pulling doing those maneuvers.

F-16's are cool. I like how they're used as multi-role aircraft. They're also gorgeous, one of the best-looking fighters ever built. Nice to see the "little fighter from Fort Worth" (or at least it WAS) represented here.

Full 360 turn mark 3:12 .. 3:32 = 20 seconds.So effectively it is 18 degrees/second turning rate.

F-16 is the best fighter plane ever!

the f-16 IS NOT slower in a dog fight. But your right about the skill of the pilot, that is what wins dog fight's.Maj. jason koltes is one hell of a fighter jock, think about how long he fly's the f-16 with such great energy!the best demo I have ever seen.

its Edwars AFB so ya they do fly the B2 and plus Edawards AFB was responsible for testing the aircraftnas they still continue testig aircraft to this day. Also Airforce plant 42 is only afew miles away that also holds top seceret aircraft. |
