Guys stop joking avout this f16s only do this when they're really distressed
you can't park there
More [crashes] to come


I thought that said F-150 and I was trying to figure out why the fire is so far away from the road
Youβre supposed to pull up when the ground is in front of you lol
More to come.

F-15 pilots had a nickname for the F-16: the lawn dart
That was also the German nickname for the F-104, and i'm expecting somebody to barge in and inform us that the F-35 has been called that for a decade now.
The F-104 had the best nicknames, all related to how it loved to kill it's pilots
The Italians were still flying them up until 2004.
Introduction date: 20 February 1958 (United States)
---
31 October 2004 (Italian Air Force)
The Italians took possession of theirs in '62 and lost 147 of them in accidents over the next 42 years. They were crashing just over 3.25 of these a year for almost half a century. That's some dedication to killing pilots
You'd think they'd give it a hardcore nickname like "the (fucking) death machine" but instead...
Spaghetti Starfighter (Italian nickname for F-104S-ASAs.)
Zipper; "Missile With A Man In It"; Witwenmacher "Widowmaker" (Bundesluftwaffe nickname); Flying Coffin; Ground Nail; Bullet & Blades; Badmash "Wicked One" (Pakistani nickname for F-104As), Eiko "Glory" (Japanese nickname for F-104Js), Spaghetti Starfighter (Italian nickname for F-104S-ASAs.)
The Luftwaffe also called it Sargfighter, after the German word for coffin.
Bad news, everyone: The pilot survived
just mean the pilot has the opportunity to bring down another plane.
The stress of having to face a foe that can punch back has Amerikkkan sailors jumping off ships and Amerikkkan fighter jets falling from the sky.
