Strapless F16 Video
Sorry to hassle you folks however,
I'm looking for a video that was on here a month or so back. It showed an F16 rolling inverted with pax falling against the canopy, discovering that his straps were not locked.
Hilarious but elusive, anyone know how I can find it on here!
Much appreciated in advance.

I was about to say the the same thing -I haven't done much aerobatics but I was taught a HASEL check which included a check for lose items.
The last thing you want is someone's left overs punching a hole in the canopy.
Emmmmmm. and this is the Thunderbirds!

How many loose articles fall into the canopy during that video!
On the inverted pass after he rolls inverted and a multitude of junk falls on the canopy it looks like he gives the finger to his wingman. A setup perhaps.
(Not too bad of flying, inverted that low and giving the finger to his wingman during an airshow.
)
Its not necessarily all from the same flight but most of it appears to be his own crud. I can't believe you would need to fly close form aeros with a checklist strapped (or not) to your knee.

Background Noise...
those pilot chaps do strap more than just a checklist to themselves...maybe a map, approach plates, etc. maybe the poor fella had to nav his way to the airfield....There's not too much space in those FJ cockpits. And velcro can give way from time to time, heaven forbid, and flight books can dislodge from them there pockets. Its not a perfect world...
