It was my pleasure, Mover!

C.W. You are right about your fight against an F-15 with a FWS pilot and his awesome flight time. But I personnaly think the F-15C combine the best of F-18 (low speed handlings) and F-16 (high energy and high g's). I think it's still a beast. Good interwiew, thanks.

See my comment below...

My respects Sir. Thank you very much for this interview. Your career is very fascinating!! It's a privilege to hear some insight of the two greatest air power in the world. I do have a great admiration for aggressors squadrons. I remember seeing my Dad discussing with an 527th TFTAS F5E pilot at Dijon when he was piloting mirages 3B in late 70s. I hope you've writen some BFM, BVR tactics manuals in your squadrons. Fly safe. Very respectfuly.

Adjustment too 6 to 9 minutes... I like what you did there Mover.

Thank you very much for the kind words, it’s very much appreciated.

Cheers.

Cheers Bunky! Ah that’s a bugger, that would’ve been a nice one to have in the logbook.

Aircrew Interview Right?! I did get 6.1 hours in the TA-7C Corsair II with VA-122 back in 1990 as a midshipman. But it was no Viper!

Cheers!

Cheers Danny. He does indeed.

Cheers 🤙

@@Aircrewinterview ok, part 2 is the Hornet. Thanks!

The viper name comes from the pilots who flew the F16 in the past who viewed the aircraft like a viper snake on the way the it looks and it stuck with pilots to this day.All F -16s worldwide adopted the viper name but the official and original name is the fighting falcon.

Thanks mate.

The US Navy's aviation force has more planes than all the European airforces combined.

We so massively out match the entire world...it's a total joke listening to them and their concepts that they think are some how equal. Nations with 6 subs that talk about there NATO commitments. Countries with their entire strategic lift capability of 5 heavies. Lol, carriers with jump ramps lololololol. Lots of cases where ANG pilots smoke airforce. It's not the same with ground units being as leathal.... But reseves ground units bring awesome loads of technical support, stuff we don't want to waste time with... Like how to do NBC stuff, or medical stuff... All we we want to do on the line is kill you. We want to kill you so fast no reservists have the time to make it into theater. But the airmen of the reserves major gift to battle is the tanker fleet. All regular commerical pilots that will though on a uniform and fly the gas that keep the air up in the air... Those guys are the back bone nobody sees that keeps these massive air armada's fed.

Yeah those Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 Turbofan Engines on the Block 52 and the General Electric F110-GE-129 Turbofan Engines on the Block 50 are definitely pretty similar, but I'm glad to hear your feedback about them!

Yes that's correct the Twin General Electric F404-GE-402 Turbofan Engines power the Charlie and Delta Model Hornets. The General Electric F404-GE-400s are on the older Alpha and Bravo model Hornets.

Oh look it’s the human Wikipedia

Fighting Falcon is the name USAF leadership chose and is still the official name. Decades ago, pilots decided Viper sounded cooler so that's how it's known amongst the crews.

Did anyone abuse you?
