Default F16 Laser Guided Ordiance - FLight Path\'s Video

This might be a stupid question or maybe a depends depending upon what type of system you are using, but what could be classified as a typical route to release laser guided bombs in terms of a flight path.. ie altitude.. airspeed.. line of sight.. etc... .

We were watching this video of a F16 bombing run over Fallujah, Iraq and some couldn't believe if it was real because of the quick swing the camera takes over the intended target.

I guess my explaination wasn't clear enough so I'm seeing if anyone may have a more technical answer !!

Actual delivery windows are classified for LGBs. The video is real, and the particular model of tracker set shown does indeed remain space stabilized to where it's locked to as the aircraft passes the target.
