Is this the most impressive F-16 or you have seen something better?

This one wins it for me. Anybody can have fancy paintings on their planes. Only a true Balkan pilot will carry his football feud up above the clouds in a fighter jet.

Is that supposed to ba a fighter jet dressed as a priest???? The neckless around the cabin confuses me.

They are fight-jets for air demonstrations

No. Greek flag, thunder, Vergina-Macedonia Star and with big letters it's written ΖΕΥΣ [ZEUS]

Extra paint means extra weight. Extra weight mans extra fuel for the same distance. Not smart, but looks cool.

The Zeus team and their F-16 is the reason I wanted to be a pilot as a kid.

This one that's been turned into dance floor by some nice grannies?

Are you still stuck on 06? Hard age! Many people never made it to 7. Try more.

for me what makes a fighter impressive, is the pilot in it, not the painting

[-]

ThimitrisApithanos@reddit (OP)

It's two different things. The pilot, the specs is not something you see on a photo. Maybe some special tech features on design but not enough to judge.

My question is about how impressive it looks.

Zealousideal_Belt702@reddit

if you call something beautiful that includes your own flag, you probably are just seeing it more beautiful because its yours

i'd give it an 8/10 for looks

there are better cases that for me look like 10/10

ThimitrisApithanos@reddit (OP)

Can you give links of 10/10?

So this is the guy that wakes me up early in the morning as I am relaxing in Greece.

They can't fucking leave us alone in summer and they do it in touristy areas too. Every day instead of relaxing this shit. I don't understand how it's allowed. Can't they train in spring or fall instead of summer every time?

Unfortunately F16s are very sensitive to weather need excellent conditions to be airborne. This is something that the Ukranians found out the hard way while the Russian fighter jets are much more versatile weather wise. I don’t know how the Mirage and Rafale fair in bad weather.
