Good video Roy, much better than X-mas TV. Nice to see the Connie over this side of the pond although one over here permanently would be better of course.

Thanks Mr G - here's the first of a couple of clips I made a while ago on US Navy machines in recent troubled times. Hope they play OK.

I know you can post pics Roy, not so sure about videos, I am pretty sure you can just like here. I wouldn't want music in those vids either although some actual sound would have been nice.

You would have been disappointed - some of these clips have been put together like a pop video, lots of intercutting all to some excrable tune.

Cheers chaps!

I am not sure the chute is standard on all F16s. Maybe it is peculiar to the Dutch one. Smart air force - they give a better show with the Viper than the yanks who build it!

Only the Dutch F-16s had a brake parachute pod.....

More...

Only the Netherlands, Denmark,Norway, Turkey and Greece have it (that's all the countries I can think of that have it).

The Netherlands and Denmark got fitted with a chute, because in case of a war during the cold war, they would have to use Icy runways, and thus they needed a chute to brake better.

In Belgium the option to add a chute was available but an ECM/RWR system was put in it (CARAPACE).

"I've read in the Dutch magazine "Onze Luchtmacht" that the Dutch Airforce uses a French type of parachute while the Norwegians use an US variant which presumed to be much better."

A longer clip as I am in a better mood today.

Watch this better-than-average video and find out the MiG 15's nickname in Russian.

Dosvedanya comrades!
