Love how fast the plane’s shadow disappears at 0:47

I live in the apartments next to UofA and have one of the best views to watch these badass planes take off and land. Nothing beats that roaring sound of the engines when they fly over my building.

Wow very very impressive. It's really awesome to watch how fast they leave the ground and go thousands and thousands of feet in the air

I did this riding in the back seat of a "B" Model taking off from Osan AB in "83." It's a kick in the ass, for sure.

Big deal.... I once took off and got to 6000 ft in a C-172. It took me 20 minutes which is a little slower than the F-16.

The helmet strap of the pilot is loose. And pay attention to how quickly he raises the gear. In after burner the max speed for gear down is reached in seconds.

00:47 you can see the effect of Gs on the pilot's body
