The Fiends: Oldie But Goodie

by Scott Wolff

Produced by “Jigga” Watts, this video shows much of what is awesome about the 36 FS “Fiends,” stationed at Osan AB in the Republic of Korea. This is one of the more notable videos produced in the F-16 community. It has more or less set the standard for video quality, editing, and music selection…but features absolutely breathtaking footage of the Fiends raging around their home station, and most notably, in the spectacular landscape of Alaska during a Large Force Exercise.

Set to the infectious tune of “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons, this is one you won’t get tired of watching.

Thanks again to Jonathan Derden for these beautiful images during the Fiends’ trip to Eielson Air Force Base outside of Fairbanks, Alaska for Red Flag.
