FLIR

From AvWeb:

This is an F-16 on a visual landing to Aspen, Colorado at night. The right half of the view is the pilot’s normal visual path to the runway during darkness — in other words, totally black. The left side of the screen is the Forward Looking Infrared [FLIR], which paints the heat signature of the outside terrain for pilots so we can see at night as though it were daytime. … You have to love FLIR … takes all the fun out of night VFR!

Well I’ve never landed an F-16, but it sure looks like that thing drops like a rock, doesn’t it? They certainly weren’t flying a standard traffic pattern. Kind of a dogleg/straight-in/slam/dunk kind of thing.

Sounds like they’ve done that Pre-Landing GUMP check a few times too.
