The F-16 crosses the wake of another jet in Hawaii, the breathtaking high-altitude maneuver

In an exercise by the US Air National Guard filmed and shared by technical sergeant Philip Cowen, it is possible to witness the passage of a Tulsa F-16 Viper from the 138th Tulsa flock in the wake of another plane flying over Hawaii. In the images the close maneuver of the jet to the air flow is visible and the immersion to its inside that almost completely obscures the view of the pilot. The maneuver, which was carried out by flying over the Pacific Missile Range Facility on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, is part of an air-to-air exercise in collaboration with the US Navy to validate weapon systems.
