AGGRESSIVE F-16 DEMO !!!

Watch, as the F-16 Viper West demonstration piloted by Captain Garrett "Mace" Dover performs some INTENSE maneuvers as a rehearsal for the Jacqueline Cochran Air Show. Footage I shot in Thermal, CA Friday November 4th, 2011. This was the LAST TIME the F-16 Viper West demonstration team performed due to all Air combat command single ship demos being cancelled in 2012.

I've probably watched this video at least 50 times, and it's still as exciting as the first. This pilot is on the pipe from take off to landing. I'm so grateful we have pilots with his skill in our Air Force.

This grandpa jet is NOT behaving it's age. For a 70s design it rocks —and will continue to do so for a while. I love the f16.

F 16 is still amazing. Incredible Agility and Speed... The Pilot in this video is one hell of a pilot.

This shows the stark difference between US flight demonstrations and demonstrations here in Russia. In Russia, they showcase low speed, near-stall maneuvering, it looks beautiful and honestly, our jets are better in that slower range, but then you have a flight like this. This is what you'll see in combat, a jet never slowing below 200kts, these American jets own the skies from 250kts+ and we know it. If you ever watch a Sukhoi jet, or a MIG perform at high speeds, they look sloppy and they can barely maintain a smooth angle of attack, while all these western demonstrations, every jet looks like they're on RAILS. Keep it up, I'm a huge fan of these vids <3

These are the best displays... no fancy turns, just a show of pure force and speed of the powerful aircraft. Great video man👍

Romania choose F 16 and I'm proud of that ! This awesome plane can help with great abilities in dogfight F-22 and F-35 ! Is not obsolete! With a good pilot this plane can be a nightmare for the enemies ! And this excellent pilot are prove this! Great flight and great demonstration ! F-16 must remain in service! I hope Romania and USA to have good relationship and cooperate in many domains.I wish all the best for american friends!Greetings from Romania.

That hard turn then slamming on the brakes into a corkscrew was bad ass.

[hazmatt]

3:41 gave me butterflies in my stomach just imagining doing that maneuver. Impressive!

This has been my favorite aircraft since I was a kid. And I have so many jets lined up in 2nd position... The F22, F35, Rafale, A10, F15.. it just keeps going. It’s such a gorgeous aircraft. It’s the small sport cars of jets in my opinion.

[dimidomo]

Masterfull piloting with a very responsive F-16. That dude is so young and ambitious ~ wow!! What an outstanding video ~ I was riveted.

[morrielarsen]

5:00 check out this sustained high speed high G turn. I can't think of many other aircraft that can do it as well as the Falcon. In a dog fight, thrust vectoring can compensate for a lesser aircraft in this arena, but a competent pilot, in an f16, can simply evade your thrust vectored solution with energy retention and roll rate until you are out of energy and then just kill you.

2:35 - 2:47 Pulling more G's than CJ in Grove Street.

[brianskrocki]

You're right. That was aggressive. I wouldn't have been sick had I been along for the ride, I'd have died.

[gwmcklintock]

I'm really kind of speechless. I swear that thing flew like it had thrust vectoring. I've seen a lot of aggressive demonstrations by aircraft from other countries and I just don't see some of these more supposedly advanced aircraft being any better and in a dogfight than the F-16.

[michaeltaylor]

I didn't even know an F-16 could do that at 3:40

[donwilber]

This never gets old. I was stationed at Hahn Air Base, Germany when they were first deployed there over forty years ago to replace the aging F4 Phantoms.

[gearingdd-]

The F-16 is a superb aircraft, amazing how maneuverable it is.

[altonwilliams]

The best looking fighter jet of them all. Looks like a bird of prey.

[NPC-fvnc]

Bulgaria is getting the new block 70 Viper in 2 years, cant wait to see them! Amazing jet!

[toont]

f16s are quality look so intimidating and agile
