The fly by wire system was probably the most important innovation that you didn't touch on. Most flight controls were connected with mechanical, physical systems at the time, and the F-16 was electronic. I never thought it was weird or dumb looking in any way. Everything about this machine is beautiful and it looks like the most aeodynamic thing possible. As for the name, falcons are my favorite bird, so I always preferred thinking of it as the Falcon.
When you call out fly-by-wire, the next word is flight-control-system FLCS which allowed the pilot to fly the jet in subsonic flight. As he mentioned, the F-16 is aerodynamically unstable.
The Viper is known as a brilliant jet at suppressing enemy air defense (SEAD). One Viper driver dodged SIX sam missiles just by maneuvering without even using countermeasures. The USAF has almost a thousand of these mean little jets!
I work at a base that refurbs the components on the F-16, ...We specifically work on the radar systems and HUD systems ...we are already starting to refurb F-35 components as well...its an honor to be apart of our nations defense I'm going on 20 years working for the DOD...
In case you haven't flown it in a video yet, Panavia Tornado please. I used to love seeing these at the airshows at RAF Conningsby here in good ol' Blighty!
Oh yes panavia tornado however he would need dcs, war thunder or older simulator by digital integration to show it and he seems to be focused on flight simulator here but I'm new here to be certain
The cockpit looks a bit awkward from the front but otherwise i don't even think the cockpit with the "bubble" looks that awkward, this is just a very sexy looking plane/fighter jet in my opinion. :)
I swear Trevor does so much research for every episode and the level of commitment is like no other been watching since 350k Subs and still my favourite gaming TH-camr of all time
I worked at an airport a few years after 9/11 which had f-16's stationed there. They would take off nightly for patrol around the boarder and when those things would take off with the afterburner, the noise was deafening. Beautiful sight as well.
I lived on Yokota Air Base in Japan when my dad was in the military. The only way to get from one side of the base to the other was driving over the ends of the runway. One day I was riding my bike as F-16s were taking off. I wish I had a smartphone at the time.
Actually the F-16 Fighting Falcon is used for new manufactured airframes. F-16V Viper is the designation given to any existing F-16 that is upgraded to the Block 60 or above standard. That's not opinion, that's per Lockheed Martin.
Fun Fact: The F-16’s nickname is “Fighting Falcon”, but most crew and pilots nickname it the “Viper” cause of its resemblance to a viper snake, and the fictional Colonial Viper star fighter from the show “Battlestar Galactica”.
I would love to see you actually work through the lessons to learn how to fly properly vs shoving it to the runway, etc. I think you will love flying even more when you know how planes work better (ex, "I think we are dropping" vs looking at the vertical speed indicator and altimeter to see if you are decending).
Fun facts about the F16: after the Vietnam war we needed maneuverability. The f16 was designed to be a cheap and maneuverable fighter. All the screens were added later. The jet was designed with a lot of John Boyd’s ideas. The f16 was only meant to have 2 aim-9s on the wing and just be a speed demon. Anyway enjoy the pack.
Hey Trev! Just wondering if you’re gonna be playing the new mortal kombat story? You’ve gotten me through so much over the years anytime I needed to destress you’re videos were always the best. Love ya man❤
What about the A-10 Thunderbolt. It's basically a flying gun. Tank destroyer. Such an amazing airplane. Or the F-4U Corsair. All time favorite warbird.

blue angels should just let trev teach them to fly
You got it wrong f-16 thunderbirds f/a-18 blue angels
@@allanthomas332Trev could do either though lol. He flew the f-18 in an episode about a year ago
@@aldenationvideos2582he also flew a UFO as well bro
@@aldenationvideos2582 true that and flown f-14 & f-22
Why would you even say that as a joke?
4:47 Trev with some subtle advice right here🤣
Trev knows how to treat his people😏
As someone from the UK would love to see the Eurofighter Typhoon would be an epic episode!
Yes please! I need this!
CJ Simulations one though! The other one is awful
Its a Eurofighter. Not ukfighter lol
@@Duchovicius and who helped make it?
@@EternalNico1 YOUR COUNTRY!!! also germany and italy i think
ayo 4:48 is kinda wild tmartn2
lol I was like woah bro…calm down…
Ah yes, the F-16. The Falcon that keeps on fighting
Can’t wait to see these kinds of videos in 24
I can't believe I missed this video yesterday. The F-16 is literally my favorite fighter jet of all time.

@@Adam-fl9uc Just searched on YT, it's out there as DLC for Flight Simulator.
I love the F-16 so much, and it is smiling! In my pictures of it from the front, it’s SOOOOO happy.
Great clarity, field of view and guide. A lot of realism and fun!
Love that Swamp Fox scheme. I'm in the works to fly F-16s for their squadron.
The cockpit looks a bit awkward from the front but otherwise i don't even think the cockpit with the "bubble" looks that awkward, this is just a very sexy looking plane/fighter jet in my opinion. :)
I agree. Besides, as silly as it looks from the front, it’s a very small radar profile from that angle, it’s like flying a pencil. They cant see you.

Huh? Every f16 official name is the fighting falcon but everyone calls it the viper since it’s that’ll given nickname.
I'm so happy he's starting doing Microsoft flight sim fighter jet vids again, not saying I didn't like the other games
Love the content. IDK if it's in the game but "The Spruce Goose" H-4 Hercules is something that I would love to see.
Whenever Trev uploads a flight simulator, my mind instantly got reminded to ask him to finish ace combat 7 lol.
Love the Vid! Been having a lot of fun in this in DCS also .
MSFS in an F-16 or Typhoon, with VR full throttle through the mountains is ridiculous fun.
“Your gonna have to touch her the right way and make her feel right” TMartn2 2023
Turkish air force pilots are in love with this Jets amazing handling and the design
I really love these flight sim vids! Have a great week Trev.
4:45 what did u say 💀

Always love a flight sim vid from you Trev‼️

"You need to know how to touch her in the right places and make her feel the right way" Trevor - 2023
Its so cool to see you visit Norway! The flight simulator series are the best!!
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS OMG!!!!❤❤❤
I love these videos. The facts are awesome. Keep it up trev!
And I believe that bubble top cockpit roof helps with airflow and aerodynamics. Smooth, steady streamlines are critically important in that, anyway.
Same thing for automobiles.
Another one who is very happy to have received his set of Saint-Nicolas. Ridiculous !
Why is no one talking about the fact that in 0:58 he almost hit the car passing by
Trev your Microsoft Flight Simulator gameplay is always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯.
Yeah it was a very nice video.❤❤❤.
this man like a book
F-15 all day my guy.. do that for sure. Top jet in the world for so long
Hi trevor🎉🎉
enjoy these vids. just a dude enjoying some flight simming. hope to see many more. msfs 2024 when!?!
Great video
My college is right beside Lockheed Martin so I see these types of planes all the time they are really loud 😂

you need to play dcs and fly the planes there

Trev let's get to some good games! 😂
Love your stuff!!
Better known as the “Viper” this was the first plane my son started flying, he then transitioned to the F22
Words cannot describe how much I envy your son. Good for him.
wouldn’t say the F-16 is the most manouvrable fighter… but it’s still wonderful machinery
Amazing
Lmk if you’ll do a meet and greet in Oslo 👍🏻
The F16 was a joint venture of The US, Denmark, Belgium, Norway and the Netherlands. It wasn't mainly produced for the US.
Pretty sure this isn’t true.
@@mike-0451 maybe you should read up about it then.
Hii🎉🎉❤
4:48 know how to touch her in the right places and make her feel the right way 💀
Loved this. Does MS Flight Sim have the Avro Arrow?
Love the content trev, hoping to get more beamng vids soon. Have an awesome weekend
I've been missing BeamNG! I think it's time to bring it back 🤝
Maybe a good time for him to check out the legendary Avro Vulcan made by Just Flight...
Can't wait for MSFS 2024.
The best series hands down can't wait for msfs 2024
Would love to see a video on the jas 39 gripen
4:18 wth was that car doing??
Try flying it in Digital Combat Simulator. So much fun!
I'm surprised that ur not playing the crew motor fest
Think he forgot😢
TREVOR PLEASE WE NEED SOME 2K24 CONTENT PLEASE
Prepare to pay a lot in Norway 😂I was there in June and ufff 100$ for 2 burgers (no fries) +2 drinks😢
Gotta show a viper mark 7!
Trev or (t rex ) hi i love this vid
Meet me in Stavanger!
I used to work on the 16s at Homestead AFB.
Very nice Trev ,I really love F-16 Jet!
What about the A-10 Thunderbolt. It's basically a flying gun. Tank destroyer. Such an amazing airplane. Or the F-4U Corsair. All time favorite warbird.
There is a game called Digital combat simulator (DCS) it’s an awesome pc game
Great video, always nice to see you having fun on flight sim and giving us some history.
FINALLY!!!
Rip 8,05 min. 😭💥
Hey tmartn2 I would love it if you could do a video on the p51d mustang
The top Mach studios f 22 raptor is a raptor unlike the one that you’ve flown 10/10 way better than the last one.
"you need to know how to touch her in the right places"💀
Thanks Trevor L
You left your tail hook out lol
I bet Jas would be more agile hehe. Even think they did beat the meeeerica plane in dogfight training for some years ago🤔
7:45 it’s literally assassin’s creed Valhalla
Fly JAS 39 Gripen
Get this mans a Top Gun sponsorship! TOM CRUISE WYA!
You should try flying the typhoon by cjsimulations it is amazing in my opinion
Try the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen!
Fighting falcon >>>>
This warms my norwegian heart❤ thanks trev!
The F-16 was used in iron Eagle movie
Is there is a game like that for android😊
what kind of stick are you using?
You should do the U2 Trev very interesting reconnaissance plane with a cool story and a wild incident in 1960 spy exchange the whole shabang😂👍🏽
that thing looks like a flying grommit
Keep it up
my homeland
Yes Tmar I live the F-16
