The unmistakable sound of the Viper leaving Oshkosh in style.
A 148th Fighter Wing “Bulldogs” F-16CM Viper powering through a spectacular missed approach at the conclusion of the NORAD intercept demonstration at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023.
Configured in a full combat-style display loadout with what appears to be AIM-120 AMRAAMs, AIM-9 Sidewinders, external fuel tanks and the centreline pod, this jet looked every bit the part as it climbed away and closed out the show with authority.
This was one of those moments where timing, light and pure Viper presence all aligned. ✈️🔥
