as long as you post credit I dont see the problem…..

There are a fair few from school days for me,

I live on the low flying route to the north of cosford.

C130 turning round church steeple at no more than 250 feet, probably about 70 dgrees bank,

jaguars at night, hawk four ships at night.

over the school, the Yellow and dark green buccaneer at about 400 feet,

herc three ships at 500 feet look pretty cool 🙂

unexpected, even on an airfield,

F3 on missed approach to Cosford, supposedly the F3 front seater knew my boss, didnt ring a bell with him tho lol….

GR1 airfield attacks were always welcome too!

myself and 30 little cadets also got an impromptu (and VERY energetic) display from red 10 one week day a couple of years back, that was pretty cool, after seeing that I wouldnt like to try dogfighting one in anything bigger than a hawk!

Ahh nearly forgot this……….

coming back down A1 from geordie land….

get out for ‘comfort stop’ to see an MH53 shoot out of the fog and murk at 250 feet (max!). If I hadnt of just got out of the car, I would never have seen it…..

and then I got to witness part of a thursday war…also very cool. i thought it was very unsporting to get attacked not five miles out of port…:)

Perhaps not really flypast material but all pretty cool to me

regards jgs’s post,

if your not aware of and familiar with this, go back and have a serious chat with your flight instructor.

maybe they could try make it run on red bull!!

regards my last post,

I have experience flying both the C152 and the SA Bulldog.

I dont think its any good to anyone not being able to see right around your airframe as much as possible. This includes(the very important) upwards and to the side.

It is a failing in my own personal opinion that you have to bank in the opposite direction to the one you want to turn in just to make sure its actually clear in the direction you want to go, you have NO idea if your going to climb up into somebodys flight path, and you have NO idea if some is going to descend into your flight path,

why?

well you can’t see can you?

This is why this aircraft is dangerous.

The Pipers are only a little bit better you still cant bloody see upwards, although you can see to the upper side and rear/forwards.

In my cross country experience in low wing aircraft, such as the bulldog and the grob tutor, i have had more of a problem finding features directly in front of me than anything else, if they are quite close by.

I have no nav experience in high wing aircraft. Although it is obvious that the downwards view is superior to low wing types.

But of course your not enjoying that downwards view too much are you? (mind you there is bugger all else to look at, except metal.

Another note on the 152, The fuel gauges are notoriously wrong(or not working), and because of the positioning of the pitot tube, the ASI can be out by as much as FIFTY knots in a crosswind. What a bloody stupid design.

This isnt meant to offend anyone, more to critique the aircraft design
