Air Force Viper West F-16 Demo Team - Living Warbirds

http://www.livingwarbirds.com No distracting narration. No cheesy music. Just screaming pistons and screaming jet engines as experienced pilots put magnificently restored and modern warbirds through the paces in air shows around the world.

Featuring almost 30 of the finest warbirds, from World War I trainers to arguably the best fighter of World War II, the P-51 Mustang, to today's F-22 Raptor, "Living Warbirds: Raw Action" puts you right on the tarmac so you get to see, hear, and feel the action as it really happened: closeups of the aircraft, engine starts, takeoffs, multiple flybys, landings...

A sample of the airplanes included on this DVD: P-51 Mustang, P-40 Warhawk, Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero, T-28 Trojan, SNJ-5, SNJ-4, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18 Hornet, B-25, C-53 Skytrooper, A-10 Thunderbolt, and many more...all indexed by chapter.

Thank you for the comments. I hope to add many more in the coming months.

Please visit my site and maybe even buy a DVD? You'll get all of these videos on the DVD, in high quality stereo sound!

Thanks again for the comments...

Thankyou for not putting music in. I can't understand people who post these videos with music. Half the experience is the sound!

At least Viper West F-16s aren't painted like fairies.

@KatiushaVN4 So basically in your spare time you watch videos of fighter jets you think suck?

[KatiushaVN4]

F-16 sucks

I take this video on my side, because I know someone, who makes his job here and often times I am full of fear - when I look to it

@JetMechMA - The ground crew members turned their backs on the pilot and marched a safe distance away to the side of the taxiway then they turned around and marshaled out the aircraft just like they do at every airshow they perform at. You can't see any of this on the video because it was outside the view of the camera but you can see the pilot return the salute as he taxis out for his performance. These guys are awesome. God bless America and all the servicemembers who defend our great nation.

Hats off to the entire Viper West team for another outstanding airshow performance. Viper West is considered to be the best of all the military single ship demonstration teams and this video clearly shows why. The ground crew members are hand picked from their units to perform with the team and are the best of the best aircraft mechanics in the US Air Force. Their choreographed routine shows us all of the required steps to safely launch these awesome aircraft.

Awesome video!! It's rare to see a video that highlights the ground show and flight demo where you can hear the awesome scream of the F-16 motor. For anyone who doesn't know, the Viper West ground crew is performing a series of required checks to ensure the aircraft is safe for flight. They are in constant communication with the team commander and check hydraulic pressure, emergency power unit status, brake functionality, and they remove all of the ground safety pins prior to takeoff.

Unbelievable. I didn't see anyone marshall him out of the spot. They turned their backs on him and walked away. I just can't get over this video. This is NOT the US Air Force. Doing preflight AFTER engine start....so dangerous. And then turning their back on the pilot before he leaves. Just unbelievable. It's like this, "OK sir, I'll be disconnecting right now. Look for me off to your ... wing tip. Then you take your position, begin marshalling on HIS cue. Nice crisp salute and thumbs up.

[JetMechMA]

Here guys....here's the sequence in case you for got it,

1) Kick the tires.

2) Light the fires.

That's it. preflight and THEN start engines. It's like a firecracker.....for safety, light on fire and GET AWAY ! For God sake, watch that Navy video of a guy getting sucked into the inlet of a less powerful engine. The Air Force is usually more level headed than that. I can't believe it. I guess recruiting is down and they have to endanger Airmen at air shows to attract new recruits.

[JetMechMA]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.......WAY too much pre-flighting going on after engine start. Since WHEN? Since when did the AF get silly and start endangering Airmen for show? God help us.
