F-16 Afterburner Run

[ModCyberCrime]

im blue abbe di abbe die aab die aabe daai aabe die aab dai

[AirsoftBadBoy]

Blue light saber :D

[safdar021]

fake!!!!

[Mylitla]

Poor camcorder was totally overwhelmed by both the sound and light. The sound of a burner run at that range is beyond description, it must be experienced.

[ApacheCobra]

@Mylitla Care to go into some detail? ;)

[koko56]

@ApacheCobra I' ve heard a an eurofighter and a harrier land pretty close to me and that was what I would call inconceivably loud - your chest vibrates, so this is probably 2/3 times more of everything.

[freefall321]

What arresting hook!!!! It's an Air Force aircraft they don't have an arresting hooks on them only Navy and Marine Corps aircraft have them. The plane is chained down to the ramp so it san't move. When I was in the Corps we would chain and block the plane to the ramp to make sure that it couldn't move during a high power test.

[jonny96]

@freefall321 They fit one for this purpose on the ground. Some aircraft like the tornado have one even though they are not carrier based. Seen one used at an airshow 4 years ago when a german tornado lost all hydraulics/brakes. They put the hook down and it grabs the arresting wires at the end of most military runways.

[sydneyACE]

@freefall321 F-16s have an arresting hook. I know because I was an F-16 Crew Chief at Shaw AFB. They are used for emergencies and during engine-runs (like this one). Almost all Air Force runways have 1-2 barrier cables at each end. In-case of brake failure or an aborted take-off, the arresting hook is lowered pneumatically by 3000psi to catch the barrier cable.

[sudoLinux666]

64th/65th agressors? 

[carloloy123]

wow some one made a video about chuck norris smoking

[paulkingiraq]

It's so cool to watch the F-16 do fly-bys or see it in person with the after burners at full during a combat takeoff. they look like a few balls of light trailing behind the jet.



[MegaSkippy100]

c`mon  explode

[k2477456]

Just how i like my marshmallows.. lightly toasted.

[renanrr95]

but, is it hot? haha

[JONNYGEEKMANG]

If you think that's impressive you should see what I use when I go out.

[Tails3773]

Damn Shooters! Always showing off. I've seen better runs in Test Cell

[Fourteen88SoCal]

I need one for my truck!

[Irongiantman007]

insert fact abut chuck norris here

[banditbronable]

Could I just nip in and put some bread in the flow and add butter and marmalade? thanks guys...outta ur way now.. munch munch, mmm. lovely toast. bye, just carry on as you were. xx :))

[naturaltg]

I think the earth rotated just a liiiill bit faster at that moment...

[ThePCguy13]

Chuck Norris lighter!

[AppleAreTastey]

chuck norris's blow dryer....

[THEsyntheticFresh]

lol



[clinttaylor88]

Turn the Anti-K light off...lol



[clinttaylor88]

Turn the Anti-K light off...lol

[68dotdotdot]

woaahh look its my tax money

[zhihaojustin98]

wonder what would happen if the arresting cable snapped xD

[LewisFtw]

@zhihaojustin98 It'd start to roll forward, but pretty slowly. The pilot would cut thrust and apply the foot brakes (Which would almost definitely be on aswell) Theres a LOT of inertia to overcome, even in a little plane like the F-16!

Sorry to be a party pooper! :P

[Lucifer01121993]

So beautiful, but so expensive

[mbudd121]

These should come standard on all new cars.

[Kikesurf1]

@mbudd121 Yeah, and with fuel tank capacity of 13-17 gallons on most new cars, you'd probably have enough to just start the engine.

[mbudd121]

@Kikesurf1 unfortunately, your probably right. dammit.....

[lucac123]

looks like chuck norris just lit his fart

[CRHAYNES123]

How long would you be able to hear it without protection when it does that

[msius54se2]

orrrr......dats y the earth rotates.

[Ironbirdx]

chuck norris blocks the jet with his finger :D

[t3po7re54]

I really want to make smores using that thing

[d1d2d3d4d5d6d7d8dful]

Is that real?

[pplschmpion]

There goes half a years gas for my car...

[Groovemaster2k]

@pplschmpion it actually runs on kerosene

[gbsons]

@pplschmpion probably more like half a decade lol.

[XxMattxX300]

@pplschmpion i bet you $100 your car's not powered by jet fuel.

[Madlenthejumper]

put on the fire marsh malows :D

[MrLighterfire]

lmao if a dominos pizza guy walked in front of the jet engine.Your pizza is on tim(AFTERBURNER)AHHHHHHHHHHHH!­!!!!..........................­he incinerated

[bobbyhill19899]

i would like a lightsaber sticking out the back of my jet

[mmnissanzroadster9]

thats gotta be hot!

[myrandomspaces]

"Batteries sold separately" 

[revenez]

fart over it and make a BOOOOM

[1MuchButteR1]

Sexy

[Bowens1414]

nooo dont go into the lighhhhht zzzzp ......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[skateslick58]

haha well theres one way we can make marsh mellows:)

[Farvefan12]

ya that would totaly get a stake good too

[alle1ausser1dir]

and on full power you have too release the jet and that baby would go so fast.

[o0Promethius0o]

Wow, look at those perfect shock diamonds at 0:04.

[Bradlz193]

@o0Promethius0o wat do them burning dimonds do

[Gman6755]

That might cook a hotdog on a stick if you stuck it in there!!

[EditCrew]

might cook the stick too :}

[OlderG0ds]

lols there would be no hotdog left after 1 second in that afterburner

[justforever96]

@OlderG0ds That's because it would have been thrown like 1,000ft away the microsecond it touched the jet! On the plus side, it would be perfectly cooked and still steaming by the time you went to pick it up. ;) If it wasn't totally vaporized from the blast! PS, use long tongs to put it in the jet stream, not your fingers.

[Atl30317]

The jet is tied down by the arresting hook.

[ReelMusicPlease]

@Atl30317 Really? When did the USAF start using arresting hooks, or the USN use F-16s?

[mushmouth1981]

@ReelMusicPlease F-16's always had arresting hooks. They're used for 2 reasons. Catching the barrier on the runway in the event of a inflight emergency (like a gear failure or possible brake failure) and for being attached to the tie-down on the ground for high power engine runs over 85%, since the emergency brake kicks off at 85%. F-15 have them too.

[greame5]

@Atl30317

SNAP...oh shiiiiiit!

[alexztyphoon]

why does the jet not move when the burners on?

[wootww19]

they got the brakes on

[alexztyphoon]

surely it could move even with the brakes on

[jgtheman84]

ya think so? ive always wondered...

[IamDuhmb]

Tied down :]

[dragonmax411]

this movie is short

[sharksfan3939]

hahah it looks like a purple light saber. Tighttt

[SraUSAF]

Ah yes nothing quite like the illegal flightline video. I have plenty of them myself. Why you gotta do a night test man? I probably had that particular night off you here you go waking me up at midnight.

Good vid though

[TomaCukor]

nice cigar lighter

[nicklking]

I once warmed my cold stiff hands back to health on an afterburner cone not unlike this one. At first it seemed cold but then the heat really made me cozy. I reached through the flames and realized...oh shit, maybe I shouldn't be on the flight line whilst tripping balls on LSD.

[lunchboxkicker]

watch?v=3y--EauE-oo&feature=ch­annel_page

[Vcast0912]

that is da bomb

[tru0007]

why is it blue

[mtamta23]

it is at night

[sw9carbon]

because its raw fuel being used

[mushmouth1981]

More like it's the camera. It's never really that blue at night.

[stprimeflyer]

This F-16 runs on bio-diesel thats why its blue

[mushmouth1981]

That's really funny. when you find the research report, let us know. F-16 like any other military jet runs on JP8+100. Don't confuse your Dodge Ram with a military jet.

[stprimeflyer]

I was just kidding :) I'm an aero engineer and licensed mechanic (civilian) you have a pretty cool job I have friends in the military working/flying on Canadian airplanes but I guess it cant compare to the US military we only have crappy old F-18s that are falling apart.

[mushmouth1981]

Yeah, we had some F-18's here the other day, they are pretty crappy. I'm not sure if I am going to do this on the outside. Maybe if I can get a job at G'E' doing testing. Maybe.

[stprimeflyer]

The youngest F-18 we have here at Baggotville airforce base has like 10,500 hours airframe time its ridiculous the amount of maintenance they require. Must be very different in the military and on the outside, I took over my father's company we own a regional airline mostly bush planes turbo props and helicopters, its a lot of fun but Id like to work on bigger planes one day... guess it'll be a while before I can afford a 747 tho lol

[katoocat13]

se ve perron el color

no memes lo huevos que deve de tener ese pinche jett mierda quiesiera tener uno de esos sele pues yo ya me meti en su pltico camara derrato

[OoOD4N13LOoO]

mint as fuk

[723music]

the worlds largest bunson burner

[bratonabike]

lawl

[jomesy1]

@723music yeah

[UnholySavagery]

PRETTY COLORS!!!!

[t6urd]

looks like star fox n64 afterburner when you are in space action :p

[ncodrington]

lol yeah

[phonix032]

beutiful just beutiful nothing like it

[pigeonbeatbox]

tax payers monies down the shit pan

oh well it looks cool

[amiral9999]

F-16

[BIackWings]

amazing how the brakes manage to keep the plane anchored

[JetlinerXPilotXFSX]

Its acctually an indent in the runway with a HUGE cable and lock. It wont move at all. BUt the breaks are STILL doing SOME work ;)

[mushmouth1981]

Naw, once the throttle is beyond 85%, the parking brake disengages. The only brakes you would have would be the toe brakes (rudder pedals). But eventually your legs would get tired from standing on them. That is why there is a tie-down-adapter connecting the jet to the ground for high power runs.

[farmfanugan]

i dont think that brakes would keep that from giong down the runway, especially with afterburners.

[mushmouth1981]

Naw, when it's time to take off, the go into military power (100% core speed) still holding the toe brakes then release them. Then they take the throttle into full augmentor. If you didn't have chalks in and stood on the brakes with all your pressure and you was in full aug, you would slide aroung until you let go or chopped the throttle back. lol. Hey, that's the only way you can do the ops check when ur at an airport without tie-down capabilities. lol

[LostOliven]

Yeah, you can see the tailhook attached.

[falcon0769]

actually the parking brake lets go an inch past idle

[dbell91]

its got something like an arrestor hook on it

[IvorYPT89]

they dont... brakes alones cant keep the plane anchored. they have a hook in the back, kinda like the hook for carrier landing, and that anchors the plane.

[dh3cross]

its to test the engine after maintence is carried out

[coolboyhanseh]

hahaaha i want to run threw that hahahaha

[JetlinerXPilotXFSX]

lol me too!

[FoolishFool93]

I know a guy that was walking around one with the throttle just above idle, lost his air on one side of his head, and said he had an odd tingle in the right side of his body for a few weeks. Oh and was knocked over. Hasn't gotten close to the back since.

[MikeLinebacker58]

hahahha!!

[Fezztecfilms]

what would happen if you stood behind that? would you blow away? or just be fried like a crisp? lol

[Helge129]

Both. Your face would get carbonised, and blown away :P

[DanLightning]

Me first!

[hziggles]

i love the way the afterburner fire is purple

[BlackArrows272]

me too!

[heloimutube]

NOS!

[chazole]

bloody good brakes lol

[sindude300]

ermmm it's at night so the camera will somehow change colour of things (i think)!!!!!

[omgmynameislong]

um the f-16s after burner shouldn't be that colour and it wasn't even loud

[Cougar333]

I'm sure its the crummy camera phones fault. Look at the strobe, its off too...

[Profy00]

It's a pimped F 16 xD

[SoloPilot47]

thats not a f-16 its a f-15 duh!

[kamikazecrab]

faggot

[Nutsackkk]

that was to the fucker who wrote about it being a waste of money.... fucking nonners

[mushmouth1981]

Damn Nonners.

[EivindTube]

The plane injects more fuel in the exhaust part of the engine, it fires and you get more power. That's the main reason; to get more power.

[Weirdo10o4]

And as a bonus it looks cool!

[hectiky]

"full after burner means waisting tax payers dollars on a lightshow"

Seriously? Somebody out there thinks an afterburner's purpose is to create dazzling displays? For every fighter on the last half century??

[dandruff71]

So fake. Did Flight Sim come out with a new version? Nice try though.

[savagethedrummer]

i don't think it was fake. that's what a jet engine looks like on full afterburners.

[dandruff71]

Nope. Fake. CGI.

[Weirdo10o4]

Dandruff, your mother is fake! Post a video showing her and I'll comment on how the shades are all wrong on her face

[blacklabel3980]

Im currently in Misawa AFB, working on the F-16, and it is completely necesarry to run checks on these aircraft. it is quite a site though to be that close to the afterburner. it is so loud that Double EP *ear protection* isnt enough to keep you from grabbing your ears in pain.

[mushmouth1981]

Go back there at least a foot behind the stab (staying out of the triangle) and open ur mouth. LOL. Shit feels and sounds crazy

[Cirux321]

"full after burner means waisting tax payers dollars on a lightshow"

Really? Im a tax payer as well and I dont mind testing jet engines to determine if everything is working properly, so that the son of a bitch doesnt have engine failures in flight and crash in a suburb killing 30 people. Bet you dont complain about commercial airliners testing their engines at full thrust before transporting 200 people do you? If anything goes wrong then its "oh they didnt test shit properly."

[258190783]

@Cirux321 you are right.! they just konw to decrease the extra money to maximum their profit.

[258190783]

@Cirux321 you are right.! they just konw to decrease the extra money to maximum their profit.

[689433]

@Cirux321 we don't mind if the airlines do so because they do not use my TAXES... the day they do... believe we will mind

[SexyToshi]

Anyone got light?

[akhilljack]

if you want to complian buck up and join the air force and voice your opinion. actualy do something about it. i dare you.

[akhilljack]

i think its pretty sad how some people want to be free but dont want to have to deffend our freedom. you wouldnt fly on a commercial jet with out the engines being ran through there paces first. trust me they have leaks and function problems all the time. there are thousands of parts on a jet engine not like a car enigne with a hundred or so. there is bound to be something that needs tweeking every time you work on it. thats why the run them.

[sthorvictor]

in agreement, jet engines are not all that complex but the collateral damage that occurs when something goes wrong is enormous, its better to find a problem with your aircraft on the ground where you have the opportunity to shut down and receive immediate help or to get maintenance than up in the air where altitude may be an issue or terrain, if a pilot does not do a run up, prior to flight hes one an idiot and two shouldn't even be at the controls.

[deathmetal386]

Sweet! I can now sleep safely in bed knowing that my taxpayer money is being spent on protecting the nation!

[Nutsackkk]

Or maybe the pilot can sleep safely knowing that his jet is going to perform while it is in the air you fucking faggot. Its called a ground ops check something was fucked up in the air so we check it on the ground. go eat a bullet fuck face

[killjoy270]

cool thats at nellis AFB

[pandalaft]

if that was actually afterburner the plane would be boosted

[jasonyeozhishen]

ur wrong... they put something on the wheel to stuck it and they tie something on the plane to the ground... just under the plane "butt".. look.

[fuckbush009]

Its tail hook is connected to a tiedown adapter lol

[hawker445]

i want to cook a raw hot dog!

[vietkid20062007]

would cook your hot dog hahah

[hooless]

Dont go towards the light lol.... Thats sick!

[WalkerTexasRanger01]

How loud are the afterburners like if you were 10 feet away from it? Is it louder than a rocket at 200dB or a gunshot at 140dB? Sometimes there are retarded kids wearing earmuffs right close to it when they are doing engine testing. I hope you're pretty good at your knowledge. Thanks!

[agrymin003]

Nice video. but what means full after burner.?? could somebody explain me that.

[JacobWeinberg]

Afterburners increase thrust by injecting fuel into the tail pipe instead of the combustion chamber(s). Also, modern afterburners are not simply either 100% on or 100% off. The afterburner is engaged in stages, were in the first stage, only a little fuel is dumped into the tailpipe. In "full" afterburner, the maximum safe amount is dumped into the tailpipe. You see those huge flames? Very high fuel usage & temperatures limit its uses to takeoff or combat...

[TonyFirelli]

What about Concorde?

[JacobWeinberg]

The Concorde was designed for sustained mach 2 flight, not dropping bombs or dogfighting. It's a big, sleek,jet with big fuel tanks. Besides, it doesn't have bombs and missiles hanging off the wings. I didn't mean to oversimplify in my statement above, it's just that an F-16 is a small fighter

[shatercourse]

full after burner means waisting tax payers dollars on a lightshow

[agrymin003]

Thats was pretty good.....

[akhilljack]

first of all its not an afterburner, its and augmentor and there is a big diffrence. second tell that to G.E. and pratt when they give us our inspection requirments.

[akhilljack]

we run them in augmentor to test there funcion. its not like a car. every time you fly everything has to function properly especialy with a 16. if the engine quits or catches fire because they didnt do a leak check at that power setting and the aug, the jet could lose engine power and has only a backup hydraulic system to give it flight controls for a few minutes to point it in a good direction to crash before the pilot ejects.

[mushmouth1981]

Amen to that brother. I rather I do an aug run instead having the pilot find something wrong in air. I don't feel like going through that crash investigation deal......again!! ;)

[rickadrian69]

Agreed. That jet only has 1 engine, like he said if it dies someone on the ground or the pilot himself may die. That testing that those of you call a waste of money is even more critical on a carrier where the nearest divert field may be 500 miles away; IE return back or crash. Do or die, if your equipment dosnt do what it has to when it counts, people die. Simply put. And that goes for just about all millitaary machinery, not just the planes.

[cambruda]

YEP

[pimder2]

i would love to see this for real

[neverdead01]

world's largest zippo lighter

[omfgaduck]

yea it lights cigarettes ...AND YOU lmao
