sniffer Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I felt that Kusch hide something :thumbup: @gigz-on: You remind me about few nice shots our western birds so another part of photos: Little retouching (unfortunately still with USAF badge): Morning @AB: Normal Viper duty: Oh... and I've got some cockpit too :music_whistling: 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Panzertard Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 @sniffer & @gigz - there's a few "awwwwww \o/" pictures you got there. Nice ones, folks :) Especially the F-16 rear, and the 'Phoon front :) The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning
topol-m Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Wow cool photos guys. But what is this huge monitor thats missing in US falcons? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
gigz-on Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I think it's a kind of HUD for the second pilot... My YouTube Channel:

mvsgas Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Wow cool photos guys. But what is this huge monitor thats missing in US falcons? It is not missing from US aircraft. If I remember my acronyms correctly it is a ASHM (Aft seat head-up display) Is is in block 40 and 42 and it is big because the main propose for it was to give the rear pilot FLIR image to fly at night and at low altitude. Some block 50 /52 have them as well in the US but it depends on their mods and every country that buys the F-16 has different configurations so it might be in some block 52 but not in others. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Pretty useful. Can it be used for targeting also not just for navigation? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
mvsgas Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I just duplicates the HUD image on the back seat, so the pilot can see. It has the same functionality as the front HUD. It can not be used as a MFD if that is what you are asking. At least not the aircraft I have work on. I could not tell you about other countries but I doubt you could use it as a MFD.

Boberro Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Yes newer blocks are uglier and uglier. Same to MiGs, both of them have humps and they look like as on steroids ;] Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
mvsgas Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Block 60 is so ugly :doh: Block 52+ Only country with block 60 is U.A.E. I think they look cool. Specially when fully loaded. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience.

VMFA117_Poko Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Block 60 is so ugly :doh:I don't think so. Also keep in mind those conformal fuel tanks can be taken off from the fuselage. On the Loyal Arrow 2009 polish F-16s won with the Grippens 4:0 in the dogfights (and IIRC with finnish F-18 they won too). 1
sniffer Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 jerom1992 - You mean CFT's are ugly :alien: Take a look at thin 'C' version: Is it ugly too? :smoke: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Boberro Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Cmon guys how this can be pretty :D Its front looks like from Alien movies, big hump like on steroids :lmao: Previous blocks are so smooth, nice design line... 1 Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ

It`s like you expect it to begin laying eggs from the nozzle any second :doh: Edited October 12, 2009 by topol-m [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
sniffer Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Another looks at CFT: My favourite shot: But in fact - You're right! The best shape in our air forces is below: :smoke: © by FrancEPGD [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
