Forum: F-16 Procedures

Here is a trip down memory lane. Starting an older F-16. Fun to watch for the non-rated people. Found this by accident. Was looking for something on jet fuel starters.

Kind of confused … that jet has a GE 129 in it? My Bad, it has a 110-100 in it as the RPM indicator is range marked at 106%

Can I show you a BUC Start … that is old?

That vid's been around the pattern for quite a while. And it's only old if you consider Greek Block 30s old (which some are I guess...). It was done in a HAS somewhere on an Aegean island base. Pause it when the DED closeup shows the lat/long and look the numbers up on Google Earth.

VarkVet is most correct. You haven't seen old 'til you've seen the BUC check in the original coupe.

Damn I didnt like BUC cks on an engine run. Later when I taught F-16 engine run in the FTD it was a source of amusement.

Oops, they forgot to pull the LOX CB. Wink

Man, that brought back some memories to an old pointy head!!

Now if you wanna talk old, how many of you (pointy-heads) remember having to put the Flight Control Test box behind the seat before you could run the Flight Control Bit?

I think it is the same video that has been posted here before, this one seems to just be a shorter/clipped version

The longer version. Someone reposted it, before it was removed for TOS.
