Aeroscout Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I got this as a e-mail just now. It's prety interesting. (But involves the loss of an F-16 :cry:) "Read before looking at the video. Listen to how calm these guys are but notice how elevated their breathing gets before bailing.. Calm heads prevail when a bird flies into an F-16 engine. Very cool footage from the cockpit of an F-16. What is even cooler is the reaction and professionalism of the two pilots. The video includes cockpit transmission with video F-16 engine ingests bird after takeoff @ Tyndall AFB. I thought you might find it interesting to see a crash from the cockpit of an airplane. Pretty interesting; it is an instructor pilot in the rear and a student in the front seat of an F-16. A "Bird Strike," as seen through the Heads Up Display (HUD). You can see the bird flash by just prior to impacting the engine. You can hear the aircraft voice warning system telling them they have a problem and referring to the "D-6 NL" which means there is no engine RPM. They made 2 attempts to relight the jet engine, but evidently there was too much damage from the bird strike and they had to get out. The se guys were very cool; note the heavy breathing... They certainly flew longer than one would expect before ejecting. Airspeed can be observed on the HUD's upper left corner. It goes down to the low 120's as they struggle to get the engine going again, but as the plane noses over and dives to earth it increases to at least 175 just before impact. It just goes to show how quickly your day can go to pieces - 45 seconds from strike to ejection. All and all, not bad. They ran the emergency checklist, made two relight attempts, and picked out a plowed field for impact before ejecting. You can follow the audio attached to it and hear the conversation between the pilot and instructor pilot and then the tower including the pilot saying they were punching out. The tower didn't seem to completely understand it all, and missed the significance of the last transmission. His last radio call, he's talking to an empty aircraft. The video contin ues until impact, even after they both eject. A classic "buying the farm" as you can see the plow rows get bigger. A real nice job from the aircrew by keeping their cool and turning the aircraft away from populated areas. No one hurt and no one killed but the dirty bird did cost the Taxpayers" few" million dollars! This is what aircrews train for day in and day out." http://www.sharebigfile.com/file/83673/F-16-vs-Bird-zip.html Hope you find it interesting. EDIT: Tell me If the link works.

Aeroscout Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 No, I'm prety sure it was an F-16. Thers are two seat versions, (I dont know the Block #s though.) What makes you think it was a different plane?

madcat- Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 i've seen this video before. it's not an F-16. it's a Hawk trainer from CAF canadian air force. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWfLho8zzq8 Hawk's HUD is easy to differ from F-16's.

Aeroscout Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 Ok. sorry. I was given the wrong information. But i suppose your right, tha HUD does not look like the F-16s. (at least not the one from Falcon 4) DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pho3nix Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 The student was fine but i think the instructor was medicaly relived of flying duties... Its been a while since i read the incident report. It was a NTFC Mk 127 Hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschelchshorn Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 rgr, Nato Joint Jet Pilot Training Canada at Moose Jaw , BAE MK 127 Hawk 2 Seater Aircraft. Where does everyone get the bs claims of it being an F-16. Flip "Imagine the reason that people hold on to hatred so stubbornly is because if the hate is removed, the pain will set in. Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IguanaKing Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Where does everyone get the bs claims of it being an F-16. Flip, look no further than the name given to the file on that hosting site, my friend. ;) It reminds me of the multitudes of "F-xx Supersonic Pass" videos out there, when NONE of the aircraft in those videos were supersonic during their passes.

Rhen Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Just some clues. USAF jets, have no MALE, BRITISH, Bitching Bettys. :smilewink: Secondly, in USAF, we don't "EJECT, EJECT, EJECT." The navy does that. We "BAILOUT, BAILOUT, BAILOUT." :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeroscout Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Ok, sorry 'bout that. I was goven the wrong information. I agree with you. If you go to google video though, it says F-16 all over the place. thaers why every one thinks it's an F-16. Again, Sorry! jeez!
