F-16 Fighters Interupt Our Flight

We were about to approach the runway when the pilot pulled over to the left to allow this little scramble.
Pretty awesome!

This is the only time I guess when an aircraft pilot doesn’t feel like he is the coolest person around 😂😂😂

The title should be "Fighters bless civilian jet with free air show."

This was not an interruption, this was a blessing ❤️

1st jet: let’s go guys!
2nd jet: ok
3rd jet: ok
4th jet: oh shit where’d you guys go? Sorry I was texting my girlfriend. Afterburners engaged!

[brandondaniels]

That last one took off in afterburner... gotta show everyone who's boss!!! ;-)

[Orcaben]

Honestly, being one of those lads, in a group of fighters, all best mates, has to be one of the best feelings in the world!

As a c-shopper on the very first USAF F-16's at HILL AFB in 1979 I would never have believed it would become such a dependable fighter. But after years and years of refinement it can still go head to head with anything out there.

Landing in Hamilton Ontario Canada Look out to see a Spitfire, a Lancaster bomber And a mosquito in formation Pilot calls out .."If you look to your left You will see why we are not landing in Berlin"

I can never get enough of fighter aircraft. Never. Always sends a chill down my spine. I should've been a fighter pilot. :(

I love how the last Viper to pull up and stop did a dramatic head slam when he stopped

The 162nd Fighter Wing of the AZ ANG trains pilots from all over the world to fly and fight Vipers. A fantastic bunch of people.

I love fighter jet engine noise. It's the sound of freedom.

As pointed out, not a scramble but probably a training mission. An F-16 can clear the airspace much faster than a civilian jetliner, so it makes sense to have them take off first.

Seeing awesome, low flying military aircraft is a rare joy we charish here in Colorado Springs! Never get tired of these Birds of Prey.

and on the right you'll see what I wish I was flying instead of being your oversized-bus driver.

This is Tucson International. Those are the Catalina Mountains in the background. The Ad Nat Guard operates the 162d TFW from the airport and handles all transition training for the Air Guard and the A.F. Reserve. Also handle transition training for foreign users (about 16 countries). This was a training mission, which is fairly common. A-10s operate out of Davis-Monthan A.F.B. which is about eight miles to the northeast.

I was the first crew chief of 785 (block 42) when it arrived in Tucson. 2100 was the last jet I crewed. Cool seeing both in the same video!!
