Danish F-16 Pilots Air-to-Ground Precision Training
Published 2 years ago
A compilation video coming in from Denmark, shows the Royal Danish Air Force utilizing their F-16 'Fighting Falcons' in an Air-to-Ground demonstration in late 2018.
The F-16, designed and engineered by both General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin, is a single-engine multirole fighter aircraft that was originally developed for the United States Air Force in the later 1970's. As demonstrated in the footage provided, pilots are trained in both laser and GPS controlled systems on the aircraft.
For those of you wondering, the projectile at 0:17 is a training round used during training exercises to validate the integrity of the GPS systems on the aircraft. This allows ground control to relay the systems accuracy to the pilot before utilizing live munitions.
