Viper VS Sabre

Postby BigTruck » Tue Oct 14, 2008 8:57 pm

A terrific surprise, I didn't know this was coming, the Viiper was doing his demo and out of nowhere (came around the skyscrapers) a Sabre shows up and they do a beautiful pass together.

I have no idea, like I said, I didn't even know it was flying in the show, it just showed up out of nowhere...could be though, Ive seen the paint job here on SimV before as a texture for one of the aircraft...

F-16 is from Hill A.F.B. in Utah. I got to see a lot of them back in the day. I was told they were one of the elite F-16 units.
