VIDEO: Jet Fighter Flies 0-15,000ft in 45 Seconds
A cockpit-view GoPro video shot by a Turkish fighter jet pilot shows his F-16 reaching a height of 15,000 foot in just 45 seconds from the moment it starts rolling on the airfield.
Behind the controls of the General Dynamics F-16 B Fighting Falcon aircraft was Turkish TAI Test Pilot Murat Keles and rear-seat pilot Murat Ozpala.

No stranger to taking to the sky at speed, Mr Keles was the very first Solo Turk pilot – the solo aerobatics display team of the Turkish Air Force.
After 20 or so seconds the F-16 gains enough speed on the airfield and in a matter of seconds after that the same airfield looks like a toy model far beneath.
