F-16 demonstration pilot uses cockpit camera during air show — and the result is stunning

The Air Combat Command F-16 Viper Demonstration Team put forth their usual brilliant performance last week when they flew in the 2018 AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

The team from Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, specializes in demonstrating the capabilities of the F-16 Fighting Falcon, one of the service’s prized fighters.

While performing in Oshkosh, the team’s commander, Maj. John “Rain” Waters, put together one hell of a cockpit video specifically for your viewing pleasure.

Waters, who has over 960 combat flight hours in the F-16 and the MC-12W, recorded the entire eight-minute flight from start to finish.

The video provides some of the best aerial views you’ll ever see. Put it on full screen and enjoy. We hope you’re not prone to dizzy spells.
