Any Books That i could read about the F-16
-
Read the manual in the docs folder. And as for reading material I loved “Vipers in the Storm” by Keith Rosenkraz(Spelling)
-
I think when you fire up BMS, you get the main startup with the buttons…there is a button for “Documentation and Manuals”…two buttons under “Launch”. Lots of reading there.
EDIT: Oh yea, Vipers in the Storm is a good read too!
Good luck!

would recommend googling for the ‘Dash One’ - not much in the way of plot, and some of the writing is a bit dry, but after the first 5 pages or so it really takes off!
-
I can highly recommend Dan Hamptons “Viper Pilot, a memoir of air combat”. Also, (not about the F16 but a great book about the early Wild Weasel missions in Vietnam and a good (concise) history of the Vietnam War) “The Hunter Killers” also by Dan Hampton.
Enjoy!

perhaps search for public intelligence F-16-1 instead.

Osprey Combat Aircraft 61 - “F-16 Fighting Falcon Units of Operation Iraqi Freedom” by Steve Davies & Doug Dildy is another great read about F-16 operations and the roles of the different blocks (strikes vs weasels etc.). OIF is the most recent large scale conflict against a state with modern SAMs, and reading about tactics in the book is good for when learning in the simulator.

Thinking about buying VITS, but the reviews seem hit and miss. It seems to have a lot of personal drama in it; I just want a good book about sorties in the Viper, not a story about a pilot and his home life. Worth a buy, those that have read it?

Nice necro troll Yama…. well played. :mrgreen:

I suggest the book of Don Hampton. Sure, there are always some autobiographical parts about familiy, education and anecdotes.
Hampton described a lot of combat missions in the second and third Gulf War (1990-91 & 2003).
