mvsgas Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) No need to feel doofus, is not that big of a deal. Did you guys give names to the jets? I ask because we always did. 2001 was balls one, F-117 808 was bob and so on. And then there are also the panels, it was never 4305, it was the bath tub. 4409 was the donut, 3308 was the lox panel, etc. Edited January 5, 2019 by mvsgas 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.

mvsgas Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Something is going to come up. Terrain following Radar (TFR) Most F-16 do not have TFR. The AN/AAQ-13 can provide TFR capabilities to some F-16, but it is not block specific nor country specific. There are also many different systems that work similarly as TFR and some may work in tandem from TFR. There is Predictive Ground Collision Avoidance System (PGCAS), Auto GCAS, Digital Terrain System (DTS) this basically has a digital information on the area you are flying but will not account for building and other things that change ( this also has many subsystems). Lastly there is Combine Altitude Radar Altimeter (CARA) As you can see, there are many systems and many versions of those systems. I'm sure there are even more that I have not heard off. 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.

mvsgas Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Keep in mind this not the same as TFR and are not related.

And then there are also the panels, it was never 4305, it was the bath tub. 4409 was the donut, 3308 was the lox panel, etc. We did name some of them, but only between us conscripts. 658 (80-3658) was Bleiebarnet (Diaperchild) or Hangardronninga (Hangar Queen), mostly due to an insane ability to chuck fuel out of the vent-hole under the wing on EVERY goddamn startup for a while before it was taken in for 200-hour maint, or because she spent an insane amount of time in the hangar with minor snags. ECS, Radar, various electrical faults and all the other fun things that comes with the amout of flight-hours she had (4000+). 666 (80-3666) was The Beast for obvious reasons. 279 (78-0279) we called Aircon (ECS-issues on deployment) 659 (80-3659) wasn't named, since that would incur the Wrath of the Crewchief, which wasn't someone you messed with. There were others as well, but we mostly went with the tailnumber. Panels were named, yep. Bathtub and LOX we used, but instead of the Donut (which I take is the ring just before the nozzle) we called Fiseringen (basically sphincter). Apart from that, the only other we named was 2408, which was the panel covering the EPU fueltank. We rarely called it that, and usually went by the connector-number which I can't remember from the top of my head.

The CJ's pre-Block52+ lacks both the attachments, the wiring and the plumbing needed, plus the structural modifications needed to fly with them. Source: Plant#4s post on this page: http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=11015&sid=6d0eb86074e4ac04d912c4790e6ec8d8&start=30 Mind you, I'm no expert on the later-model Vipers, as I only worked on the AM/BM with the MLU M2-upgrade which is said to bring the cockpit and avionics up on par wit the Block 50/52s. There's been other upgrades since then (think we're at M7 at this point), but just what they entail is unknown to me.

mvsgas Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) I don't know for sure but you can hear the pilot talking about it. Sound like they thought the centerline tank move because they felt the aircraft moving like they went to jet wash. In real time it is a flash. I can't see it in real time, it look like 1 or 2 frames, that F-14 was moving.

It sounds like they dismissed the idea of it being jet-wash and thought one of the stations may have popped of the jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjordmonkey Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 It still remains to be seen which version of the Block 52 we'll get in terms of which weaponry etc we actually end up with.

mvsgas Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Your right but I was not posting it about the weapons possibilities for the upcoming DCS module, I just have not see it before. Most other photos of the Iraqi F-16 only show AIM-9 loaded.

mvsgas Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) At around 1:50, you can see a typical F110 first start of the day. That cloud is not smoke, is fuel. At around 8:08, during the gun strafing, check out all the dirt and dust that get thrown up by the vibration. At 9:43, look at the aft transparency of the cockpit, you can't even see through it.
