Stunning aerial color photography makes this a
book that, once you open it, you’ll find it hard to set back
down. From training flights to deployment, this volume follows the
training of a Viper “driver” and addresses the many
challenges of learning to master this versatile fighter.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon, known as the Viper by
those who fly and service it, requires a special breed of pilot
to put it through its paces. In this informative and breathtaking
volume, the author captures the lives of the Viper drivers in their
own words.
A great plane needs a great pilot and you’ll
see how these extraordinary airmen acquire their highly specialized
skills through intensive training at Luke Air Force Base, home of
the 56th Fighter Wing of the USAF Air Education and Training Command
located just outside Phoenix, Arizona.
If you are interested in high performance military
aircraft, air force history or airplanes in general. this is a book
you’ll definitely wish to add to your home library.
