I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
I understand the "WHY" they did it, but it is really hard watching an F-16 fighter being used as a target!!! Next to the F-86, the F-16 was my personal favorite. It had a remarkable beginning and the cost to build was just as remarkable. Great video though!

Wow - I feel old. I remember when these jets were first stationed at McConnell AFB. We were really excited to get them there, but sad to see the F-4s leave. Then the 16s left and some came down here to the 162nd FW, and some went to the Boneyard. And now this
Now they've turned their attention to the "Electric Jet" maybe they'll leave what's left of the Phantom force alone?

I'd like to see a forward facing camera view; that would be cool watching ACM sans lé pílote!

Let's hope! I hated seeing the bright orange on the few F-4s I saw flying here during testing for the QF program, knowing what their fate would be. Apparently this will also be the fate of the older 16s ---->
Although I can't complain too much, what with being able to see fully restored Rhinos flying around all weekend once a year during the Heritage Flight hosted at DM
