Thrust-Vectoring F-16
|
USAF #86048
NF-16D Block 30
The F-16 VISTA (Variable stability In-flight Simulator Test Aircraft) was designed to demonstrate the tactical utility of thrust vectoring in close-in air combat and the use of integrated control of thrust vectoring in flight. The aircraft has demonstrated a steady angle of attack of as much as 86 degrees and a transient angle of attack of up to 180 degrees. In other words, the aircraft can fly backwards for a brief time. The VISTA was later re-designated as the NF-16D, transferred to NASA and was used in the MATV and AVEN test programs.

Callsign of the day
Callsign "Dudley"
First assignment to Hahn AB in 1986, several of us new guys were being dubbed for the first time. The first suggestion for all of us was a loud, enthusiastic, alcohol amplified "Butt-Plug!!!" (thanks Trevor Albro!)
After a few other cringe-inducing suggestions, Dudley (after Dudley Do-Right, a Saturday morning cartoon character) was settled upon - my last name being Wright.
