Watch This Dutch F-16 Pilot Try To Kill An American F-15 In Mock Combat
Published on Jun 3, 2015
Go Pro images from the cockpit of a Dutch F-16 Fighting Falcon. After taxiing and taking off from Leeuwarden Air Base the F-16 is flying over the Frisian landscape. Flying over the North Sea - it gets refueled by an American KC-135 tanker aircraft.
Now the Dogfight training starts with a US F-15 Eagle. The GoPro cameras film the one-on-one dogfight between the two, with the associated maneuvers. After the training, the Dutch F-16 returns to Friesland.
Dutch F-16AMs and American F-15Cs had at it last April during the Florida and Oregon Air National Guard’s composite deployment to the region as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve. The awesome video below gives us an in-the-cockpit look at what it is like to spar with an Eagles high over the North Sea.
The F-16’s bubble canopy gives its pilot a spectacular view of the world around them and the 30 degree incline of the ejection seat allows for enhanced sustained G tolerance. The F-15 and F-16 are fantastic Dissimilar Air Combat Training (DACT) partners, especially in the 1 vs 1 environment depicted in the video above. You can learn all about how the nimble and tight turning F-16 fares against its much larger and heavier Air Force cousin during such fights in this past Foxtrot Alpha feature.
