It would be great to have this added as an extra detail to the already awesome sounds!

 

If I'm not mistaken, this plane has F100 PW engine, which indeed has this specific sound. But our Viper has F110 GE engine, which doesn't have this sound.

Yep, that's a Belgian AF AM (A-MLU) Viper, with what's most likely the F100PW220e. Not entirely sure if BAF Vipers have gotten the 220e, but others can probably shed some light on that.

 

The tweet you hear is from the so-called CENC, which drives the nozzle through bleed-air from one of the engine-stages (13th, but don't quote me on that as it's been FAR too long since I worked on the AM's).

 

Would be nice, but also don't think the ANG Block 50's anno 2007 used PW-engines, and the GE129 doesn't have an air-driven CENC anyway. One can hope that we one day we get a model with an extended dorsal spine like the BAF and RNoAF-birds have.

Clustermunitions is just another way of saying that you don't like someone.

 

I used to like people, then people ruined that for me.

I assume their aircraft are the PW versions then?

 

Yes, USAF Thunderbird have always used PW powered version of the F-16. Currently they use the F-16C block 52 with F100-PW-229.

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..
