      I flew the F16 and it has the best view of all fighters! It doesn't have a canopy bow like some fighters have. It's unrestrictive viewing. When I first started flying it, I was uncomfortable because I didn't feel like I was in an airplane. I felt like I was on an airplane. Then you LOVE it! Most F16 pilots felt the same way.

There is never 'complete safety' when flying near urban areas. In 1982, an Air Force B-52 bomber was practicing a combat takeoff from Mather AFB, just outside of Sacramento CA. It crashed into a nearby field after witnesses said the pilot appeared to point the aircraft away from populated areas before the plane went down. All nine crew members were killed.

The reason the don't change the "C" is because it would be classified as a different airplane. And if it's a different airplane, there are TONS of hoops that have to happen in congress, and the funding is like funding a new plane. The "work around" is changing the Block designation. They can totally change everything about how every system works, but it's still considered an F16C. When I got out of active duty, they were on Block 50. Who knows what they have now......

This flying looks so effortlessly however, with my humble general aviation experience, I can only assume that both, the g's and the forces to move the controls with precision require a skilled expert, to say the least.

    I remember when a former Air Force pilot who was flying for an airline company. He was talking about one airport where they had a requirement for the jets to take a relatively sharp turn while climbing. I believe it was due to a noise abatement procedure at the airport. The pilot liked it. He said this is how planes should be flown. Passengers may not like feeling the stronger than normal g -force they will feel.

    On June 12, 1942, Bong flew very low ("buzzed") over a house in nearby San Anselmo, the home of a pilot who had just been married. He was cited and temporarily grounded for breaking flying rules, along with three other P-38 pilots who had looped around the Golden Gate Bridge on the same day.[4] For looping the Golden Gate Bridge, flying at a low level down Market Street in San Francisco, and blowing the clothes off of an Oakland woman's clothesline, Bong was reprimanded by General George C. Kenney, commanding officer of the Fourth Air Force, who told him, "If you didn't want to fly down Market Street, I wouldn't have you in my Air Force, but you are not to do it any more and I mean what I say." Kenney later wrote, "We needed kids like this lad."[5] from Wikipedia
