F16 - Crash

  • Thunderbird

    The Thunderbirds are the demonstration team of the Air force, and this manuever was well in the limits of the aircraft's capabilities. Basically, this is the pilot's job and he was not hot-dogging or shining his ass. The intake of an F-16 is huge, and it had sucked up a large bird. A large bird can do major damage in a very short time to a high performance jet engine...by "short time", I mean in half a heart beat. The pilots are trained to recognize dangerous situations immedicately and take the appropriate action. He elected to eject, which was obviously the appropriate action. If this seems like a waste of tax dollars, then write any of your Congress people...you have a representative from your particular area, and two senators for the whole state. Write a letter to them expressing your dis-satisfaction. They will be more than impressed with your prowess in the written word, and surely act promptly to your request.

    • No bird.

      That makes a nice story, but there was no bird. It was caused by pilot error. He was supposed to climb to 200 0 ft before the roll, but only went to 1675.

      He ejected 0.8 seconds before impact... wow.

    • what really happened

      setting the record straight. I am stationed in Mountain Home, Idaho (that is where this occured) I was the ATC on that day and what happened is that the had come from a sea level show the week prior to this one which is 3000 feet above sea level. The pilot had forgotten to adjust his altimeter for ground level. This is actually a common error for alot of pilots, but not for this team. The pilot was cleared of all responsibility and countinued to fly for the duration of his tour.

    • Not engine failure

      Yes, it is a Thunderbird. Yes, it is also an F-16. His settings for the elevation of the show site were off. Every location they travel to, they must set up their instruments to know where the ground is in relation to sea level. Pilot error probably...if you do a Little research, you'll see an even more amazing still photo of the ejection. OK, I did the research for you. All of the info you could ever need is here. Or linked from here. http://www.ejectionsite.com/thunderbird6.htm

  • Stupid mistake but great recovery

    Not setting the altimeter was one stupid mistake but the ejection decision and the execution was excellent. Not many have such decision making ability.

  • ejector seat

    they should put the controls of the ejector seat between the cheeks of his ass...he would have ejected 5 seconds earlier!

  • pilot error

    the pilot forgot to reset the altimeter before taking off, so it was giving an incorrect reading.

  • A real tradergy!!! Below people say the ...

    Sad if the guy died, he looked to eject just before it crashed. A fault with the plane. It all looked like a smooth display aswel before it happened.

  • Old...

    This is a old video (6yrs or so) of a USAF Thunderbird (the air demonstration team) in a F-16 Fightnig Falcon. So no, he does not have to pay for the aircraft and he is not a hotdog. It is actually his job to fly like that. The engine failed, he did not.

  • Amazing reflexes

    If you look closely there is a puff of smoke from the engine just before he ejected. Probably an engine failure or a bird-strike. The pilot analyzed it and ejected within a second of the failure. If he hadn't he would be DEAD. (assuming he survived -- I didn't see a 'chute...)

    This pilot is amazing. Anybody who thinks he should be "charged for the airplane" is an idiot.

  • I wonder...

    Does he get a bill from his job? Like "Nice one dumbass, that f-16 only cost us around 20mill bucks, so we'll have to deduct that from yer paycheck, and all because you had to show off! Jerk."

  • are you people stupid!

    Do you reallly think he did this on purpose!????His engine lost thrust and he had to bail or he would have died! I would rather lose a plane than a life!

    • The plane is already lost anyway when it...

    • It's not a matter of choice

      The plane is allreqdy lost, now we have to ask if want also to loose the pilot.
      It's not that we rather loose a plane than a pilot, it's weather we want to loose the plane and the pilot or just the plane.

  • USAF airplanes SUX

    USA can't beat Russia in army technologies. Try to search and compare what american jetplanes can do and what russian jetplanes can do. I was laughing after seeing those USAF airshows. My advice - search for Sukhoi videos. That is the jetplane for 21st century. Not like the F22, F/A 18 etc. crap (and I am not even talking about F16<--- LOLplane).
