Outstanding job and video. He maintained a constant airspeed of about 240knts through the whole event. And what a great support he got from the ground.. Interesting listening to his breathing pattern, three short but deep breaths at a time

Thank you for sharing this

Not a pilot but I have always been told that flying one of those without power is like flying a rock, not much lift. So I can only say to this pilot:thumbup::thumbup::beer:

I love how everyone in the video sounds freaked out and nervous....

...Except the pilot.

Good job. I wonder what V/G is in an F-16? In the old 172, it is 68 KIAS.
