I cleared final. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. Do not crash. Do not

crash. do not crash. Oh man, it's fun while it lasted.

Hi, I'm Matthew Burchette, and this is an F-16 Viper version of Behind the Wings.

You know, now we're actually here on the flight line at Buckley Air Force Base in

the Colorado Air National Guard Area, 140th Wing, 120th Fighter Squadron.

Go Cougars. And I'm here with Lieutenant Colonel Craig "Lobo" Wolf.

So tell us a little bit about what Buckley does and, especially, what you do.

I'm a part of the 120th Fighter Squadron.

Wow, that is cool. I just touched a fighter pilot.

Don't quite look Top Gun-ish, but I've been doing this since 1994.

Buckley Air Field and the Colorado guard was

here long before that. Started out at Lowery Air Force Base in 1923, and then

moved out here and it was a National Guard base all the way until 2000, when

So we're standing right here in front of a Viper can we go take a look at it?

Hello. Oh, that's really cool. So this is what they consider a big mouth.

That's true. So the version that we fly here is the General Electric engine. And, with the

big inlet, it allows more air to be sucked in and then turned into speed.

Speaking of speed, what is the top speed on one of these little guys?

once you start adding on all the targeting pods and external tanks and

whatnot, it gets it pretty dirty, and we have some speed limitations.

Okay, so it's like when I put my bike rack on my car.

Looking at the size of this thing, you guys are carrying nukes aren't you.

Well, Matthew, now I know you know better than that. However, I'm glad you asked because this

is our most frequently asked question when

people get a tour at an air show of the F-16. And they're like, "Wow, is that a bomb?"

This is considered a drop tank, I mean you can drop these, if you need to?

Right, so the drop tank is exactly that. We prefer not to drop them. However, if

they're in the event of an emergency, and we wanted to increase our range and make

the airplane a little more streamlined, we can drop them. And then, in a combat

situation, if you were engaged defensively, and you wanted the

airplane to be more maneuverable and lighter, than you would drop them at that point.

It's just a simple push of the button and both tanks fall away.

Alright, so this is the cool stuff right here, the AIM-9 and the AIM-120.

Now, this is like the close in kind of weapon, yeah?

The AIM-9 is a heat-seeking missile and  does have a shorter range.

It's hard to see, but it does have a little seeker in there,

infrared, and it looks out for that heat source.

And we kind of aim it, and then it goes after where it sees that heat source.

The F-16 truly is kind of a jack of all, because we can mix

it up with the different missiles, the different bombs. We do have the speed to

get from point A to point B, but you know we don't always have the same amount of

on-station time or the amount of firepower,

but we kind of get a jack of everything, the master of none.

Well, this was really cool. Thank you for walking us around this really cool bird.

What does it take to actually fly one of these things? It can't be easy getting ready.

So, Matthew, the airplane itself is actually really easy to fly, but as you..

Yeah, but using it as a weapon is the challenge. So the next step

is to do the mission planning, and then we'll do the flight briefing.

And then, from there, we'll go down and get our life support equipment on and our

safety and egress stuff. And then we'll walk out to the airplanes. We get started

up working with maintenance to generate the airplanes, and then it will taxi on

out, take off, go down to the bombing range, what would it do the tactical mission.

Come back. We'll land, and then we'll go in, and we'll

debrief the mission and learn something from it.

Alright, so all of that is happening right now?

Oh alright, well, it looks scary from here. I'm a civilian.

What do you expect? Alright, so we're here at Airbursts Bombing

Range, which is south of Fort Carson. And the F-16s are flying over.

Pretty soon, we're actually going to have A-10s. You know what, why don't we get out here

and take a look at some of this stuff, if we can. Do you think we can go out there?

Yeah, let's call and make sure the range is all safe, and then let's go check it.

So now the mission is over, these guys have dropped the bomb, they've

hit the target. So they're flying back to Buckley, which means we got to

jump in the car and race them back to Buckley. We will lose that race, but then

Right, that's where it's time for us to go back

and try and figure out why this isn't sitting in the target.

Well, you know what, we're going to head back to Buckley, and we're going to  sit in

on the debrief and see what went right, see what went wrong.

Controlled area. It says "Squadron Vault." That's where the debriefings take place.

Actually, Matthew, that's where the classified squad

debriefs takes place, so we're not  going to go watch that.

Alright. Well, then, what do you do after a mission then, if you're not in there?

Well, after the classified debriefing then, it's on to the unclassified debriefing.
