Although the new series of fighters (F-35, F-22, etc) are VERY impressive, after having spent MANY hours in and around the F-16 both at Moody AFB, GA, and Osan AB, ROK, it's still one of the most beautiful and impressive aircraft ever built!!! Old, but still very capable!!
I swear, the f35 and the f22 raptor just look amazing. They have this certain style. Like the Corvette ZR1. You can tell it is a badass machine ready to rock and roll.
What kills me is how little he needs to use his tail elevator to put the aircraft on a fast rate of climb. If you fast forward to roughly 4:42 you'll see him hit V-1 and then just as his front gear starts to clear the tarmac he gives the elevator just a brief but significant flick and he''s in a steep climb right as soon as the wheels leave the ground! Most planes don't have the thrust to go into such a steep climb right from takeoff. It's fantastic.
Flew many motors all my career but I always liked how the F-4E looked and sounded. My favorite fighter of the current generation is the F-15E. Night, low level, brings a ton of hurt, and can hassle with the best.
Time from roll out to rotate 15 seconds for the F-35 and 16 seconds for the F-16. A Boeing 737-800 is between 25 and 35 seconds depending on the load. Considering the weight difference between all three I would say that's pretty impressive. Turbine engine and fuel technology has come a long way in the last 30 years.
I was out at Langley AFB the other day during training as they were doing scrambling drills with the F22 raptor ..a mad dash to get a squadron of F22s in the air was amazing ! Getting a bunch of fighter jets in the air in a hurry us a thrill to watch.The pilots are as impressive as the air planes .. I cant fly do to inner ear issues but I could only imagine the adrenalin rush these pilots get when going vertical! It's amazing how this many planes can get in the air in a short amount of time .. God bless America and all keeping us safe !
@@compagnieresonance The Mig-29 is a smoky coal burning piece off shit from a country that can't even back up it's maintenance..hence why do many are rusting at the ends off disused runways all.over Eastern Europe and other parts off the world . Some are even being replaced by F-16s..and rightly so..The F-16 had shot them down in real combat..
Really nice to see BOTH the F-16 and F-35! Arguably, the external fuel tanks and armament slow the F-16 down. Yet some argue that to achieve the same range, the F-16 requires the externals in order to match what the F-35 does with all storage being internal. The same argument applies to the missiles.
@@JDar23 F15 is a two engine fighter. The F16 was a more efficient, single seat, highly capable, single engine fighter. What took off that runway only had one engine.
I wish they didn’t discontinue production of the f-14 tomcat. They should have modified it to be on par with the present fighters. That was one badass place with its retractable wings and everything. One of my all time favourites after the Stuka dive bomber and the modified p-51 mustang with the rolls Royce merlin engines.
Truly WOW material, that Lightning bird! I love ALL fighter-jets, but IF I had to choose one, without regard of its purpose, I would probably choose the F/A-18F Super Hornet! But the F-35 Lightning is also a beautiful bird! And who doesn't love the F-14 Tomcat?! As a GA pilot, I got excited on the flight-deck of a B-747, but it would be astounding to be in one of those fighters, but ONLY if I had some g-training, because those guys will give you the ride of your life and you need to be able to handle it or you'll pass out, flip your cookies and you will NOT enjoy those side-effects! But it's difficult to even imagine what the power feels like behind the stick of one of those birds today, it HAS to be the most exhilarating thing in the world! I was in the Concorde years ago and the thing that amazed me the most was how dark purple the sky was at 56,000' but at higher? But no fighter jet for me without g-training and a flight suit as those fighter-jets today can shoot up to 70,000' in seconds!
I live near Langley afb and been seeing these for the first time because they are doing the Atlantic trident thing. They look so cool with the f22s together.
I live a block from the JRB (Carswell) and actually get to see F-35's, F-22's, F-18 super hornets and F-16's every day and sometimes we even get to see them all dogfight! It's a fighter geeks dream. Lol! The F-35's are the loudest jets I've ever heard and we used to have B-52's and B-2's, even SR-71's come in and out of the base.
Enjoyed these two, side by side. Thanks! I haven't taken in that many fighter videos. But am driven to pass on a type I ran into last week. There are at least a couple places where military pilots train at low level, And people are able (on ridgelines) to get Really close to watch and film. One video/poster is "MACH LOOP 4K" by Dafydd Phillips. The 'Mach' name is from a village nearby, Machynlleth, in Wales. Lush green hills and valleys. The other area is called Star Wars Loop (or similar), that one in U.S.A. desert terrain, perhaps Death Valley. I said 'Really close,' but that doesn't convey the situation... my honest reaction was 'how can this be??'
@@ericnijkamp7926 Its so slick and seamless, it looks like a cartoon or CGI. The glare of the canopy material is beautiful. Got to see both f35 and f22 side by side at Oshkosh from 20ft away.
Nothing like a Falcon, nothing. I had the pleasure of being a flightline wrench at Luke AFB in the early 80's, a comm, nav, ECM specialist on F-16's. Watching them do FCF (functional check flight) take offs full burner going totally vertical gave me a chub everytime. 37 years later and it still does. Arguably the meanest looking plane ever built, to me looks like a mini Blackbird.
Enjoyed watching this but there are some other vids on the F-35 which clearly demonstrate how ridiculously powerful its engine is (this isn't exactly a good example of the F-35s "full power" takeoff). Its thrust and climb rate is absurd. Also, I love the F-16 like every1 else but when do you ever see it without 2 giant external fuel tanks on either wing? Outside of Thunderbird airshows, the F-16 is completely dependent on massive external fuel tanks. The slim, trim, and nimble look of the F-16 that everyone loves doesn't really exist in the real world. The F-35 is often criticized for its lack of "aesthetics" but it's designed to carry its fuel and payload internally. The F-35 may not be the most slim and sexy bird but that's because it's designed for the 21st century, not the 20th. Bleh, I love the F-16 but felt the F-35 was getting an unfair shake for its appearance in the comment section.
I was thinking the same thing. I'm no expert, but whenever I've seen a jet hit the afterburner, there usually is a exhaust trail almost the length of the engine(s).
Airplane profiles are like car profiles, some classic and some modern. While I know a new factory Dodge Challenger Demon will smoke a 70's factory Challenger, I prefer the looks of the older. As well as I prefer the looks of an old F-5 over the F-35 and the looks of an old AH-1 Cobra over an AH-64 Apache helicopter. Looks are in the eye of the beholder, glad we have the best of both worlds!
That's nostalgia if you just prefer older models. It's all subjective though no one can deny the F-35 looks clean and sleek compared to the junk yard hanging off of the F16.
Loved the Cats. Sad to see the last to go. F-4, F-6, F-7,F-8,F-14 Think I got them all. The 14 was/is still my fav. with the 22 coming in a close 2nd., very close 2nd!!!!
At a recent flag it’s kill ratio was about 15 or 20 enemies shot down for every 1 F-35 killed. I saw it do a demo at an airshow recently, it’s a fucking beast. Everyone, including me, underestimated it. I thought it was going to be slow a sluggish. I was amazed. The thing has virtually infinite energy. The thing pulls 90 degree turn like it’s nothing, it’s insane!
The pilots of our planes have a real set of balls!!! It takes a real man to get in that plane THE REAL AMERICANS LOVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!! BRING THE NOISE BABY AND THE POWER LET THEM KNOW WE ARE DONE THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Monster LMA the P&W F135 engine is supposed to be one of the most powerful and efficient in the world. Maxes at Mach 1.6, which could be better in a higher speed, since the JAS-39 is a Mach 2 single engine fighter. Nevertheless it’s lighter body would definitely prove it has better acceleration, but there may be plans for improved versions later in the 35’s lifecycle....mach 2 and supercruise for instance
I saw that too. If it outperforms an F16 we are in good shape with them. F16 have excellent battle record, so improving in that platform plus all the tech the F35 has should make it an awesome fighter.
No, I don't notice that. The F-16 was actually about a second faster, from rolling to passing the radio structure immediately before the point of where they liftoff (15.33 vs 16.32). Not that it matters one iota, since it's all gonna depend on how the aircraft are loaded. There's nothing wrong about the F-35's thrust/weight ratio. It has a hell of an engine that deserves to be in a different airframe. What's mainly wrong with it, is the Cl/Cd ratio at high Cl values. So no, the F-35 is not gonna be a monster when it comes to flight envelope performance. Rather, it's going to be the new lowpoint since the F-4 (which was very good for its days in time, something the F-35 certainly won't be.)
Vermiliontea Oh for god sake do you ever sit and actually do some damn research? You realize the F-35 can do a complete 9G turn like the F-16, not to mention while carrying weapons, while the F-16 can only do that when it's flying clean.
Vermiliontea And I suggest watch the take off again, the F-35 easily out accelerated the F-16. If you weren't so ignorant and hellbent on wanting the F-35 to be bad, you'd actually notice that
Everyone note the F-16 is carrying 2xexternal fuel tanks plus 2xpylons with missles not exactly even comparison. I worked on F-16s for 8+ years,I know what they are capable of clean!
Despite the f-35 obvious bulk over the f-16 the proof in the pudding was the roar of that engine and acceleration plus the climb rate. Bad ass better and better. No external tanks also helped.
Some jets designed 40 years ago are twice as fast, have more maneuverability, are less complex, so easier maintained. Try to repair the computers of the F-35 in a war scenario. When the computers fail = jet useless. I bet within 1.5 year, a couple of them will be used for parts, like is done with everything in the army in NL. For it's weight, not even fully armed, it's not powerful enough.
Look at those Sukhoi's. They are sleek, and built for speed and maneuverability. It can make a turn on the spot, while the F-35 has a mile (estimated) turn radius.
Mr. Nuke designed more then 40 years ago. Can kill, Sukhoi, F-35 F-16, airforce or ruin planet. When everythink fail, Mr. Nuke will solve. When everythink not fail, we play with toys and politics. All these flying pieces of metal are good toys and bad toys, good politics and bad politics. No need to quarrel about differences, because when difference matters, and toys and politics doesnt help; Mr. Nuke will help ye out.
It's incredible how intelligent people are and with grace and sophisticated technology ever increasingly on the horizon..The only thing mankind needs to add for world peace and tranquility is nothing....
Read em and weep!!! American technology at it's finest!!! State of the art! The U.S. is always on the cutting edge in the world of avionics and aviaton!
I REALLY thought that 16 was going to honk at the 35 when they were next to each other and then start blasting "If ya want my body and ya think I'm sexy...."
Form follows function follows innovation. F35 is years more advanced. Technological innovation in it's most dynamic form. F16: gorgeous. F35: state of the art lethality.
i was watching this when i just noticed at about 5:37 what are the giant drums hanging off the wings? they don't look like missiles or bombs. if someone knows, please tell me. never-mind just looked it up, they are external fuel tanks. i feel dumb for not realizing earlier.
F-104 would shave both their tails. Interceptor speed means get there yesterday. The F-35 & F-16 are agile and pretty quick, but no match for the diminutive little bird from Skunk Works.📡
T39 trainer loud as hell at Sheppard airforce base i got privilege to see two f15s take off twice as loud i saw 12 foot fire come out there ass cool hell u can definitely hear these planes i enjoy working airport i see helicopters all sorts of jet planes i salute us airforce u folks rock.
Imagine you're Orville and Wilbur Wright, and by some miracle, for a little while, you pop into the present (for us) and see this, and then pop back.
I was stationed at Soesterberg AB, in 1980-84. I worked on F-15s. Really loved the Dutch!

Well, the F-35 in this video makes one thing very clear: the F-16 is a truly beautiful aircraft.
I was thinking the opposite.
Yep
The F-35 is beautiful in person. I honestly think the F-16 is ugly when compared to it
I love em both I gotta be honest. The F35 looks beautiful and really modern whereas the F-16 is its own different style that I love.
Im going to stick with the A-10.... Ugly, deadly and beautiful all in 1.... Bbrrrrrrrrrrr
From an aesthetic standpoint, the F-16 to me is the best looking fighter jet ever produced.
I'd have to disagree, Brother. The F-14 Tomcat was and still is a beauty!
F22 will go down as the sexiest bird in aviation history, sorry gents.

@@robertfoster9078 I imagine there are tons of differing opinions on this, it's just like I said- for me- the F16 is the best looking.

So no, the F-35 is not gonna be a monster when it comes to flight envelope performance. Rather, it's going to be the new lowpoint since the F-4 (which was very good for its days in time, something the F-35 certainly won't be.)
Vermiliontea Oh for god sake do you ever sit and actually do some damn research? You realize the F-35 can do a complete 9G turn like the F-16, not to mention while carrying weapons, while the F-16 can only do that when it's flying clean.
Vermiliontea And I suggest watch the take off again, the F-35 easily out accelerated the F-16. If you weren't so ignorant and hellbent on wanting the F-35 to be bad, you'd actually notice that
the F35 has aa slightly better thrust to weight ratio, but the F135 engine responds WAYY faster.
Our pilots are AWESOME
Still an F14 guy. And an F16 too. Beauty. Cool as hell. Deadly.
Just can't beat the looks of an F16
It’s all opinion. I myself like the F-35
The aggressors still use F 5.s if i am not mistaken i could be wrong but to lose an F 5 is quite frankly poor
take off starts at 4:28
I still,think the F-16 is a all engine and fast. Makes the F-35 look like a old fighter 👍
This is the best stuff... Period
Hey! That’s me!
Well you are a disaster then. Can you do us taxpayers a favor and get your 27% full mission capable status up?
HUGE EXPECTATIONS FROM USA 🇺🇸
Everyone note the F-16 is carrying 2xexternal fuel tanks plus 2xpylons with missles not exactly even comparison. I worked on F-16s for 8+ years,I know what they are capable of clean!
Despite the f-35 obvious bulk over the f-16 the proof in the pudding was the roar of that engine and acceleration plus the climb rate. Bad ass better and better. No external tanks also helped.
Awesome jet, love the power :)
Some jets designed 40 years ago are twice as fast, have more maneuverability, are less complex, so easier maintained. Try to repair the computers of the F-35 in a war scenario. When the computers fail = jet useless.
I bet within 1.5 year, a couple of them will be used for parts, like is done with everything in the army in NL.
For it's weight, not even fully armed, it's not powerful enough.
John Obmar Haha, that's true :)
I also love the Mig29 and that type of aircraft :)
Look at those Sukhoi's.
They are sleek, and built for speed and maneuverability.
It can make a turn on the spot, while the F-35 has a mile (estimated) turn radius.
John Obmar Again you're right :)
The F-35 is awesome, but the russian jets are insane :)
Mr. Nuke designed more then 40 years ago. Can kill, Sukhoi, F-35 F-16, airforce or ruin planet. When everythink fail, Mr. Nuke will solve.
When everythink not fail, we play with toys and politics. All these flying pieces of metal are good toys and bad toys, good politics and bad politics. No need to quarrel about differences, because when difference matters, and toys and politics doesnt help; Mr. Nuke will help ye out.
/First good look I've had of the F-35 but the F-16 Viper is still a beauty
MrTDBolt there’s something very special about the F16
4.1k dislike came from people expecting a fighter jet drag race
That vipers got style 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧 from Manchester England 🏴 .
Good Jet Fighter Airplane, God Bless All, .... Cherrio.🌠👍👍👍🌠🌟🌠.
now i wanna see fighter jet drag races !!!!
Hell yes I would fly one of these!
In a nano second.
...flying is easy... Landing not so much.
It's incredible how intelligent people are and with grace and sophisticated technology ever increasingly on the horizon..The only thing mankind needs to add for world peace and tranquility is nothing....
ALways loved the F-14
me too. My absolute favorite bird of all time. Grumman, that is all.
@Tom Berry>>>Me too, bro.....
So do Iranians :D
great footage! thanks for uploading.
Read em and weep!!! American technology at it's finest!!! State of the art! The U.S. is always on the cutting edge in the world of avionics and aviaton!
I REALLY thought that 16 was going to honk at the 35 when they were next to each other and then start blasting "If ya want my body and ya think I'm sexy...."
Form follows function follows innovation. F35 is years more advanced. Technological innovation in it's most dynamic form. F16: gorgeous. F35: state of the art lethality.
Well put
Two awesome Jets.
F16 like a beautiful dart with a tail of fire
i was watching this when i just noticed at about 5:37
what are the giant drums hanging off the wings?
they don't look like missiles or bombs.
if someone knows, please tell me.
never-mind just looked it up, they are external fuel tanks.
i feel dumb for not realizing earlier.
Not a dumb question buddy. I'm sure alit of people have wondered tjat. O worked arpund these jets in the Air Force. God bless.
When I was in boy scouts we stayed at air Force Base, I got to sit in the cockpit of f16 , f14 tomcat and hold a M16 with 40mm grenade launcher
That's dangerous for a man of Chicago.
F-104 would shave both their tails. Interceptor speed means get there yesterday. The F-35 & F-16 are agile and pretty quick, but no match for the diminutive little bird from Skunk Works.📡
Of course you won't have much fuel left for that 2- minute sortie before you return to base or refueling!
Pull your head out of your ass and clean the shit out of your ears wake up dummy...
F-104s had one of the highest crash rates of any modern fighter. Ask the Germans what they think of them. They lost many fine pilots.
F104 was built for speed, the f16 was built for mach .6 to 1.6 because %90 of dogfights happened in that range, really no comparison
@@brooksm3552 That's what happens when you use an interceptor as a fighter-bomber
T39 trainer loud as hell at Sheppard airforce base i got privilege to see two f15s take off twice as loud i saw 12 foot fire come out there ass cool hell u can definitely hear these planes i enjoy working airport i see helicopters all sorts of jet planes i salute us airforce u folks rock.
Mooie beelden. Bedankt.
