NOTAM: Hop on in the fighting falcon for a training mission, we will spawn in at palmdale, 2 fighters can take off of one runway at once as long as they are seperated by the runway centerline, Anyway once airborne go full throttle for an unristricted climb, once you are climbing, climb and maintain FL500, once we all get there we will fly a formation of a delta, we will do brake off’s and barrell roll’s so please make sure you know what you’re doing, we will make a group chat to coordinate this, once we have done all of that and tooken screenshots we will fully nose dive into the palmdale mountains and do some low mountain flying training, then we land at KPMD. Please comment below if you can come.
You’re saying FL500; which is 50,000 feet. I just want to clarify that this is that correct altitude because it does not take “seconds” to reach that altitude in the F-16C and it is very difficult to maintain airspeed while maneuvering up there.
Taking of from KPMD RWY 22 and staying on full throttle, I reach FL500 near the Van Nuys VOR. Once at that altitude, I had to maintain a 2-3 degree AOA to maintain level flight and my airspeed did not get above 250 KIAS until I crossed the coastline.
Please consider lowering the cruising altitude.
Thank you.
