This is what going to Tehran might look like in a few months.

at 3:58..."say plan"

"let's egress!" haha

I can't tell if he got to deliver his bombs. Lots of missile launch tones. The Iraqis really threw a lot up at them. I think a couple of times you could see missile smoke trails in the HUD video.

As scary as all that is, I'd give a you-know-what to be a 22 year-old Lt graduating from pilot training again. Except for that whole UAV thing.

I'm not all that familiar with the F-16 HUD and it looked like he had A/G symbology up at one point, but from his speech at the first of the video he said he was carrying Mk-84s and the video certainly never showed a conventional delivery. Also - at some point in the video I heard a jettison call over the radio.
We have lots of F-16 pilots on the forum so hopefully someone will pipe up soon with a accurate account of what we see in the video.

I was told that "ET", the pilot of Stroke 3, is a volunteer fire fighter in Austin, TX

He actually did have CCRP up for a bit, and at one point brought CCIP up for a quick high altitude released bomb (HARB) attack. Whether he hit anything, who knows... He also brought the LCOS gun sight up for a bit, but I'm guessing he accidentally thumbed the A-A switch on the throttle to ACM during his twisting and turning in the cockpit...
