Robert S 75 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 The F16 has anti-missle and other sophisticated defenses, but against a simple bird... The pilot keeps his cool, loses the engine (flameout), climbs for maximum altitude, turns to look for a safe place to crash the jet, then ejects: Note: the warning sound right before ground impact sounds like a cheap video game: "Game Over" sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc-XiO4ojzk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
