- Old video introducing the F-16C. I don't own the video, and I don't even remember where I got it from; it has lurked on my harddrive for nearly 20 years. There is a content ID claim against some of the media in the video, so if anyone knows the owner let me know and I will contact them.
The baffling music choices let you know it's authentic
The radar and MFD displays have been updated a lot since this video was done. This video is very informative though and will help alot in my simulator build.
Wow. What a gem - when that music came on, I settled down on the bed with my laptop and a spare sock. Awesome.
There is a content ID claim in this video, so I might have to remove. Does anyone know the original program this was taken from? It was a video I found on my PC from a good 20 years ago, and I just uploaded it to back it up more than anything. Copyright never even crossed my mind!
You should only have to remove if you've monetized the video. If the video is not monetized then the content claim is irrelevant. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the original video so, I can't help you with that unfortunately, enjoyable nonetheless, thanks.
I remember seeing the original video in the mid 1980s. It was either General Dunamics or USAF.
This is like a nice wholesome sitcom, like Family Ties
The F 16 can still hold its own
Of course it can, has been upgraded countless times since the video was made.
Cassette???, man how updated are these avionics???
Block 25s, won't see those F 16 nowadays.
You will, in Indonesia and South Korea.
You'd think you'd never see blk15 As flying around, and yet the USN Aggressors have the oldest Vipers still in service.
The USN fly Block 15 OCUs that were built in the late 1980s for Pakistan then stored until the USN put them in to service around 2003. Venezuela however still fly vintage 1982 Block 15s.
We're already converting Block 30s to QF-16C TGT Drones. Pretty sad for other air forces when the USAF is using superior aircraft for live fire TGT practice, while they still fly around in out-dated garbage.
RDAF still have the "Black Nose Blocks" around, Block 10´s, with the remainder being Block 15 MLU´s.
Anyone else using this to learn the F-16 on DCS ?😆
It will be a block 15 or so in these videos, ie , a very old Viper C. DCS models a early 2000s era block 50/52, so I wouldn't expect lots of similarity ha.
@@Planehazza This is Block 25 C model early days from around 1984. Block 15 was the last USAF A/B Model with the alarm clock LED Stores Management System (SMS) and center pedestal placed Radar display for the APG-66.
We had Block 10 and 15 Vipers at Edwards with the new cockpit upgrades, mainly the MFDs and WFOV HUDs, APG-68, and other systems like LANTIRN, but those were all test aircraft where these systems were pioneered.
@@LRRPFco52 If I remember right, the F-16A that really pioneered those MFDs, Wide-angle HUD, and so forth was the F-16 AFTI (which also tested lots of other stuff for future aircraft), which was originally #75-0750 (I believe the last of the 7 Full Scale Development Falcons)
@@Tigershark_3082 AFTI F-16 had different displays at different times, to include touch screens if I recall. It was a technology integration testbed of several systems and programs that cycled through it, which manifest in various configurations over the years.
We pioneered the original monochrome (green) MFDs in some of the F-16 CTF Vipers, which nailed-down the Block 25 F-16C & D model cockpits.
We also did LANTIRN NAV pod testing with an F-16B with D-ish cockpits, that used a blackout canopy for simulating night for the terrain-following test program. The Nav Pod contained a Terrain-Following Radar and Nav FLIR above it, which fed into the LANTIRN HUD.
Blocks 25 and 30 had already been in production by that point, but we were still using A & B model airframes on the F-16 CTF at Edwards.
The AFTI bird was used to work out technologies that went into ATF and JSF. The F-16A/B airframes in the CTF were used for developing incremental technologies that went into F-16C/D Block 25, 30, 40, 42, 50, and 52.
The main program were were on was supposed to go into Block 30G, but didn't make it until Block 50. It has been upgraded into hundreds of Block 40/42 birds and NATO F-16AMs, and maybe a few Air National Guard Block 30s.
Merry Christmas!
muja bohot shok ha wing commander ban ny ka
Looks like a frickin sonogram, not a radar
WTF!..., what was that music????
worst music choice EVER
That's what happens when a video is 30+ years old.
