Manny moons ago, when the F-16 was introduced to the Danish Airforce, there
were an airshow, where a replica of the first Biplane used by our Airforce
"sort of" flew formation with the Falcon. The oldtimer was allmost falling
appart from overspeed, while the F-16 allmost stood on its engine, to be
slow enough, and still it did at least twice the Groundspeed of the old
Biplane, quite a sight to wach )

Realy nice video, can't have been all fun, to fly those dinosaurs )

They did and F15 with a mustang at Fairford air tatoo last year and I
was in the carpark with the camera still in the bag.
I was anoyed to have missed the shot, but they looked great together.
The Red Arrows did a formation with 3 spits and a hurricane, and that I
did get:

Excellent shot. The size difference is amazing, and concidering how
small the camel looked compared with the spitfire, just think how small
it is to the f15!
