do u know abt the very first performance of the f-16 in europe back in 70s?it was just the performance of the the jet that stole the show for f-16 n later on it became one of the most exported jet.so i think the pilot on board did his best which he could do at that time to attract the buyers.if jets dont perform everything which they can do then y russian jets demonstrate amazing low speed agility in air shows?they can keep all these manouvres secret.
i have been watching air shows since i was 5.a simple loop is very common part of any aerobatic performance just like aileron roles.it is not very great n difficult but still it is done in evry performance.i dont remember any aerobatic performance of pakistani F-16 with out a loop.even K8 did all these set of manouvres during its induction ceremony at PAF academy back in 95.i dont remember the year of its induction exactly.
i m not degrading the jet but if u look at that JFT as a neutral observer its performance(in air shows)is not at par with any modern day jet
Hi,
You are right---you got to show your wares in front of the public in the air shows----if you can't do that---you got a hill to climb.
