This just popped up on reddit so I don’t take credit for finding it but it’s interesting nonetheless.

How cool would an f16 look with blue lights flashing…

From the article…

“Usually we spend about 35 minutes in flight,” said Lt Col Kleppe. “But because of the special cargo, the pilot gave a little extra, so he was there in less than 25 minutes.”

…and broke every window along the way :open_mouth:

So @BeachAV8R, you need to get an F-16 too! :slightly_smiling_face:

If they started using F16’s for medical flights, I would almost certainly be looking to change my career path from corporate.

Pretty lucky for the civilian and great PR for the military. Win-Win :slight_smile:

Next is to deliver the medical equipment inside a GBU! That way they don’t have to waste time landing. :grimacing:

Get an American F16 to drop a Cbu and they could do multiple hospitals in one pass :joy:
