Ken Cartwright Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 At least that's what is says in the description. I just saw this posted elsewhere, and had never seen it before. It looked pretty intense, and I can only imagine what the Bronco pilots were feeling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roym Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I'm sure I've seen this before but it was listed as more recent than 92. Was during a coup i think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GW8345 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Everything I've found on the web says this incident took place on 27 Nov 1992 during an attempted coup in Venezuela. https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-tactical/venezuelan-f16-shoots-ov10/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Rockwell_OV-10_Bronco https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/16565/watch-this-crazy-video-of-a-venezuelan-f-16-gunning-down-an-ov-10-bronco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SERNAK Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Talking about low-level dogfighting! That Bronco never had a chance against the F-16. I noticed that they (the pilot) frequently downloaded the landing gear system (unless the video was produced combining different scenes. BTW I do hear some English words....?), perhaps to produce more drag for a manoeuvre but eventually the F-16 took it down with the Vulcan cannon. We don't see these kind of incidents very often.

pollie Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Impressive flying by that Viper pilot. So low and so slow, could have easily taken himself out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alternative 4 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Viper's moves look like an airshow demo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR Brush Brutalizer Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Why is the Chip'n'Dale sea plane trying to dog fight the F16? Oh, its actually the SEA DUCK plane from ducktales. This is like Bulgaria buying "1" F16 and ITCHING FOR WAR. JUST TRY US BUDDY! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
