F16 Takeoff with afterburner at full blast

F16 taking off with afterburner switched on and doing a few loopings.

Presented at the Airshow in Berlin-Schönefeld on May, 20th 2006 near the airport.

If you have a subwoofer, turn the volume up to full blast and enjoy the roaring afterburner sound. while annoying your neighbours! ;-)

Sound distortion occurs at 0:14, no faulty camera microphone!

Do not attempt to annoy your neighbours! ;-}

says berlin but sounds french. maybe he was introducing it in multiple languages.

@OmnipotentTechnique7 Yep! German and English!

So fast friction on wings caused them to burn like cigars !

[Bandicoot803]

@7722993 Thats WAAAAAAYYYYY too slow for the wings to burn off! A space shuttle can do it with ease, it is partially covered in a reinforced carbon-carbon shield. These orbiters travel at a speed of 17'400 mph when re-entering the earth's atmosphere at an angle of 40° causing the wings to literally glow red-hot!

@SupremeLevelEnt You just keep saying it because you're jealous for not being there that day!

[Bandicoot803]

@SupremeLevelEnt Au contraire, mon chère! 100% GENUINE!!!

By the way: Cameras NEVER lie!!!

I see no afterburner.

Didn't really expect to unless it was an old runway they didn't want anymore.

@Bandicoot803 Listen know-it-all, he was making a joke.

@7722993 what your seeing coming off the wings would be the smoke systems. they got engaged on take off which means that it may look like it burnt but never even generated enough friction.

@PangeaSpreads yea but you double redundent and and all that true enough fly by wire cool but is the strike eagle flyby wire too they landed onewith one somw time ago yea you fly goes shit stright dumbersterdivein

Wooooooow This how it suppose to be pilot

[lncdlt]

I love the way they make your whole body shake on the ground while take off at full thrust.

[hundvonkrieg]

what a sexy jet. I wish they'd let us paint ours all cool

@JLAMontoya One person replying was enough, ty.

Either way I was still right :D

[hellcatdave1]

@Bandicoot803 Okay, well it's hard to tell the difference...

[PangeaSpreads]

@JLAMontoya I'm surprised by your distaste for the f-16, and fly-by makes pilot training so much quicker and cheaper vs a non-fly-by, so over-all and combined with the fact a f-16 is not dramatically out classed by an f-15, initial buying costs, running costs, fuel, training, maintenance times, losses vs replacement etc+ you can roughly get three f-16 for one f-15, so why not get NINE easy maintain capable f-16's instead of just three thirsty double the needed parts and costly f-15s?
