The pilot is using the Scorpion HMD I think.

It seems US ANG updated block 30 use the Scorpion helmet.

 

You can also tell the difference because instead of having the "sensor" on the left side of the canopy, the sensor is on the top. Also the helmet wire is routed differently.

Can I just confirm we are on the same page here

 

TER (e.g. BRU-42) = Triple Ejector rack (carried 3 x MK-82) - very common on F-16s over the years (STAR is another type I think might be in use)

 

MER (e.g. BRU-41) = Multiple Ejector Rack (Carried 6 x MK-82) - seldom seen

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Oops.

The wreckage of F-16C, 86-0275, formerly of the 35 FS, 8 FW, seen in a C-Pad shelter at Kunsan AB, ROK.

 

I was the leader of a team of 8 FW personnel dubbed the "Wolfpack Wrecking Crew" assigned to dispose of this aircraft and an unused F-101F ABDR aircraft. We cut the aircraft into managable pieces so they could be hauled off to a scrapper.

FY86 Big Mouth Block 30 F-16 No. 9

 

In poor weather this F-16 landed on top of F-16C (87-0335) which was trying to take off . Pilot Lt. Col. Ralph Earl "Bark" Gardner who had just arrived at Kunsan AB, Korea from MacDill AFB was killed. The 56th FW which was closing down had just enough aircraft to fly for his memorial.

Wow! 9+ G's on the flyup.

 

Anyone know what "knock it off" means?

 

Basically stop. One pilot says "knock it off" in a formation, no matter the rank or flight position, everyone must echo the "knock it off" call and reform. Normally used to terminate a training scenario or if some see something unsafe. Basically a reset button.

 

IAW AFI 11-214

3.4. Knock-It-Off (KIO) and Terminate Procedures. Use KIO or Terminate procedures to

direct aircraft or aircrew to stop engagements, scenarios and tactical maneuvering.

3.4.1. KIO Procedures. A KIO call ceases all tactical maneuvering and ends the overall

scenario. Use KIO procedures for the following:

3.4.1.1. If safety of flight is a factor.

3.4.1.1.1. A dangerous situation is developing.

3.4.1.1.2. An unbriefed or unscheduled flight enters the working area and is

detrimental to the safe conduct of the mission.

3.4.1.1.3. Weather below minimums required to safely conduct the scenario.

3.4.1.1.4. Aircraft malfunctions affecting safety of flight.

3.4.1.1.5. Loss of SA.

3.4.1.2. When Desired Learning Objectives (DLOs) either are met or are unattainable for

an entire scenario.

3.4.2. Once a "KNOCK-IT-OFF" is called, all participating aircraft will:

3.4.2.1. Acknowledge with call sign in roll call fashion.

3.4.2.2. Cease tactical maneuvering and end the scenario.

3.4.2.3. Deconflict flight paths and climb/descend to a safe altitude, block, or as briefed

3.4.2.4. Address any problems/issues and obtain verbal clearance from the flight

lead/mission commander/exercise director/representative before resuming/resetting the

scenario.

Was that really the Auto GCAS that pulled 9G or the pilot ?

Until we see an official report or first account from the pilot we can only speculate. I would assume it was the software.

After seeing that video me and my friends like to yell "2 recover!" at each other whenever somebody messes up and G-LOC's in DCS.

DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule.

 

In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works.

In an effort to enhance U.S. and South Korean air force combat capability, Buddy Wing exercises are conducted multiple times throughout the year on the peninsula to sharpen interoperability between the allied forces so that if need be, they are always ready to fight as a combined force.

- Singapore was the second overseas buyer, example aircraft 92-0280

This a block 52, but do not confuse it with block 52+ like aircraft 01-6026

Note the large nose landing gear tire, extra antennas under the intake lights, on the nose and on the dorsal compartment.

Greek Air Force followed with aircraft 99-1500 being one of the first ones deliver around the turn of the century.

Unique about this block 52, one of the first seen carrying the AAQ-13 FLIR pod. Here is a photo of aircraft 99-1536

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-41CSFKTeTgo/T7MT9-PpfGI/AAAAAAAAASU/EpruZxheMls/s1600/Hellenic%20Air%20Force%20F-16D%20Block%2052_31.jpg

 

Israel Aif force received their 52 around the same time with 99-9400being one of the first.

These are all D models and the first "52+"

Aircraft 00-1012

http://media.defense.gov/2009/Jul/20/2000519363/-1/-1/0/090717-F-6911G-061.JPG

 

Followed by Polish AF F-16, number 03-0040 being one of the first, but originally used for testing according to F-16.net. This are 52+ with larger nose tire AFAIK

example 03-0083

http://www.airplanespotting.pl/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/IMG_2379.jpg

I believe these to be some of the first overseas AIM-9X capable F-16 in service...
