Old classic, came bundled with the good ol' Falcon 3.0 iirc. Finally we get to test it in a modern simulation:

There's a modern one in the internet if you search 'Korea F16 Basic Employment Manual'. You can tell how the tactics described in The Art of the Kill get evolved and written into The Air Force Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (AFTTP).

Just for the sake of nostalgia, ED should try to contact Pete Bonnani and convince him to participate as one of their SMEs.. and maybe narate their instruction videos?

 

 

Wouldn't that be cool?

Excellent video from my Falcon 3/4/BMS days. Cannot watch it with a straight face.

Excellent video from my Falcon 3/4/BMS days. Cannot watch it with a straight face. He is talking to these 1980's-early 1990's sim nerds. Awesomest part is when somebody asks him a question, he assumes this 'tough guy badass leader of men fighter jock' stance with hands on hips, chip slightly up. Sort of like of El Duce. If you are unprepared , and if U R drinking coffee, it may squirt out of your nose.

I second and third Mr. Bonnani making BFM , prior to merge, at merge , and defensive actions and tactics YT videos. He is very at instruction.

He was not 'Regular Air Force' commissioned officer. His commision is/was in Virginia Air National Guard. Though he spent a good amount of time on active duty. Virginia AGN squadron's TOE was very similar to active duty squadrons. He flew , I believe, F-16C Block 20/30. Falcon 3 simmed Block 30. Falcon 4 was Block 40/42/50 CCIP

It would be really amazing to hear what he thinks about where we've got to since those F3 days.
