F-16 Viper Ground Show & Demo 2022 Charleston Air Expo

Описание: Rebel flies her third air show ever at the 2022 Charleston Air Expo/Titans of Flight. Shot on Saturday, April 9.

The Viper Demo Team is the US Air Force's single ship demonstration team for the air force's premier 4th generation fighter jet, the Lockheed Martin/General Dynamics F-16C Fighting Flacon, known by the pilots as the "Viper". The Viper Demo team is based at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, where the air show took place. This was Shaw's first air show in 6 years.

The new demonstration pilot is Capt. Aimee "Rebel" Fiedler. She is the first official female Viper Demo Team pilot, and only the second female single-ship air show pilot in the history of the USAF. In this video, she flies "Venom", the specially painted demo jet. Unfortunately, the lighting was pretty poor due to the cloud cover.

I was right in front of the F-16s on the ramp, so I recorded most of the ground show and included it in this video. The De Havilland Vampire and C-17 were flying at the same time, so I had to switch between them. This is a low show due to the cloud cover, but on the bright side, there are 5 high speed passes and a wall of fire on the 4th one!

Enjoy!
