Absolutely STUNNING AFTERBURNER TAKEOFFS! F-16 Fighter Jets At Night!

Folks, this is surely some of the finest night-time full-afterburner fighter aircraft takeoff footage witnessed in recent times. HD video also includes pilot and crew preparing to launch their F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets into the night sky — departing McEntire Joint National Guard Base, South Carolina, headed for Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia.

(FYI, this event marks South Carolina Air National Guard’s 169th Fighter Wing's largest deployment since the summer of 2018 when they supported an Air Expeditionary Force rotation to Kuwait.)
