F-16 Viper Demo with Cockpit Radio Communications 2025 - Maj Taylor Hiester

This was a challenging show to fly. With the field elevation and temperature at the airport in 90F+, the density altitude was near 10,000 feet. The airplane is making significantly less thrust, burning almost 10,000 pounds per hour less in afterburner less than at sea level. It's rare to feel the F-16 shake or buffet under G but you'll be able to hear the vibration in my voice here. This makes for a longer, more lumbering performance which is unique.
