Thanks for posting it Dice. Don't know why it doesn't come up on the site today because I still have it in my e-mail inbox and I just viewed it again.

Sorry guys, it's fixed now.

...apparrently a few years back we adopted a british male voice to replace betty. Cause everyone knows them Wankers are pretty little men.......seriously Dart jokes are good. but atleast get the airframe correct.

This is a Canadian CT-155 BAe Hawk.

I too was wondering when they decided to add the male british voice....(bitchin bloke) lol I have seen alot of lawn dart hud footage and this didnt strike me as an F-16 right from the start.

Kind of reminds me of the time a Buckley ANG F-16 blew his engine on Take Off and the bird augered in about 25 yards from my range. I know this was not a viper, but it still gives me the willies thinking about a bird loosing it on their take off roll. For some reason, somebody thought it'd be a good idea to put the range just off to the side of the primary runway at Buckley. Luckily, the only casualties were the Pilot with a badly sprained ankle, and a couple of our cops who got a lung full of some nasty fumes when setting up a cordon. Nothing serious though and all where discharged fromt the hospital that night. It could have been much worse.
