I saw 2 airfighters (f16) earlier, now on news it was for security,because of bomb
 

WTF, earlier this day when I was outside I saw two f16's flying very low to the ground, and some other big plane above it.

Just thought it was strange, but nothing special.

Now on the news, they were escorting the plane, because someone reported there was a bomb on the plane. They are now still looking for the bomb tho, proberly fake. But still:-) Damn:)

wow that is creepy I hope that it was fake. I have to fly back on sunday.

the netherlands has F16?

yes we do and lots of them too...:)

Ive been seeing more and more jetplanes fly over recently

well, don't go starting any wars with them. :winkwink:

Enough. You might think only Bush has war toys, but we have some as well. Not enough to steal countries, but enough for certain missions. The Netherlands prefer to spend money on education, health care, infrastructure above war toys

Andre

we won't, we only have them for deffensive reasons. We are more concerned about what Andre said over here. Maybe thats because the amounts of weed that is being smoked in our country, the fumes make everyone sooooooooo relaxed and friendly :winkwink:

Yea and they train here in the US.. They were training out of the airport where I used to live in Melbourne, FL.

That would be pretty cool to see, a plane being escorted by two F16's, should of got a picture.

I just had a couple fly over my house...and i am no where near any flight path at all....in the sticks in southern california

Found a pic

damn, thats crazy

freaky

I wonder if you know, are The Netherlands planning to upgrade to the new Euro Fighters? Those things are way more bad ass than F16's.

The next generation of US planes will probably have a slight advantage on the Euro Fighter, but very closely matched. Saw something on Discovery about this the other day.

hope it will be fine anyways i see such planes every day since my office is near an airbase.. :)

Those things are fucking LOUD!!

you get to notice them especially if they fly low

This thread is useless without explosions :2 cents:

Thehun was on that plane going to the bank
Just his suport crew.

Nope I think we get the fancy US ones, the Joint Strike Fighters or something like that. There was a bit of a row about those because we don't think they should spend that much money on those, because the Euro fighters were just as good, but I don't know what happend with that story.

Many countries have F-16s

Eventually they will have to upgrade to JSF (or something else, but JSF offers best price/performance), the F16 is very old.
