Pretty cool landing in the mountains at night

I know this is not really our type of flying but its pretty cool technology of a steep VFR landing into Aspen, CO.

Hopefully I posted this correct Zane.

I think it's been posted here before...FYI it's not an F-16 like the title says. There may be comments on the you tube about it now. Was some test flight for the equipment or something on some biz jet. Still a cool video to see again though. :D

That is the Gulfstream test airplane from about 5 or 6 years ago. Our boss is looking at upgrading from the G2, several of the used 4's and 5's we are looking at have the HUD with enhanced vision. Maybe, possibly someday I'll let you know how it works.
