This photo shows the VIO-POV.1 digital camera mounted on the glare shield of the USAF West Coast F-16 airshow demonstration aircraft, also known as "Viper West". The production I did for the Viper West pilot, Capt. Russ "Spicoli" Piggott, also included a camera looking over his shoulder. The "over-the-shoulder" view gives you the feeling that you are in the rear seat for the ride.
Nothing beats the pilot's point of view while tearing up the sky.

This is a video frame from the U.S. Air Force F-16 Viper West Flight Demonstration Team at the California Capital Airshow 2008.

I did a three day shoot with the team and edited a video that gives you the view as if you are flying in the back seat during the flight demo. This version is the first of two.

The second version will have many more camera angles, including the cockpit camera angle facing back looking at the pilot and the HUD (Heads Up Display).

Watch the video!

Fly with Capt. Russ "Spicoli" Piggott, Viper West, during an "all out" airshow demo at the 2008 California Capital Airshow. The cockpit camera angle is as if you are riding in the back seat. Viper West is the U.S. Air Force F-16 West Coast Aerial Demonstration Team. The F-16 "Fighting Falcon" is commonly called the Viper by its pilots.

The Viper West Team, one of two F-16 demo teams in Air Combat Command, is attached to the 388th Fighter Wing, and is home based at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.

F-16 Fighting Falcon with Smoke Generators - Fort Worth, Texas

The F-16 Fighting Falcon airshow demo with AIM-9 smoke generators kicks butt. Watch the F-16 do aerobatic and combat maneuvers with the smoke system emphasizing the extreme high angle of attack three dimensional flight sequences.
The smoke system uses a Sidewinder/AIM-9 design. The missile body contains gasoline(avgas) and a special oil that vaporizes when injected into the hot chamber that is fueled by the avgas.

The video was shot at the Fort Worth, Texas Airshow.
