Due to the large number of aircraft during departure time, many fighters used the taxiway for their final checks

Airbrakes extended while the F-16 loses energy and comes to a rest. The airbrakes on the F-16 reduce their deflection automatically during landing so they won’t hit the ground on touchdown
