Fox news just said a few min ago the pilot of the F-16 was a woman


Odds that she was just trying to ask for directions?

Please do not lump Top Gun and F-14s into the lowly level of an F-16....

I used to think that too. My brother flew F-16's... He went to Miramar and went head to head with 3 F-14's and came away with 3 kills.

There's a guard base about halfway between Shaw and Columbia that also has 16s.

Hope it wasn't the 2007 LSU Mech Eng. graduate. He flies in the 157th.

pilot should be terminated dishonorably. Thanks for being a douche and costing us a $100 million or whatever aircraft and committing homicide on at least one very wealthy and taxpaying American citizen.

If this happened 100 ft above ground, it is absolutely the F16's fault unless it was in final approach or takeoff.

There is zero reason for that low of a position by the jet.

Maybe he was "buzzing" some friends. This doesn't look good

So you're certain that under no circumstances would a F-16 pilot have a mission profile requiring unusually low level or nap of the earth flight? I think you're jumping to conclusions about the pilot hotdogging.
