Not an F-16 HUD. F-16 has automatic flaps so pilots do not call "flaps downs." F-16 does not have voice warning system that calls out altitudes. Aspen's runway is too short.

It is a Gulfstream. This is video of their new Enhanced Vision System (EVS).

The video can be seen here: http://www.gulfstream.com/product_enhancement/evs/

Still cool video though

That's better...

(Although I'm surprised that an F-16 can't land at Aspen -- what is the minimum runway length needed to land an F-16?)
