Thank you for reminding me always to fly TAP! They have the world’s best pilots. They know when “racking” into a 45 degree bank on a “go around” that the left wing tip is excactly 6 feet above ground. (Not 10 feet – not minus 2 feet). Another accident waiting to happen! When this clown rolls himself – and sadly, I guess, a few innocents – into a Bud Holland fireball. All that fuss about air show safety … forget it. It will all be outlawed.

Norwegian F-16’s were built by Fokker. Except 2 F-16B’s as attrition replacements direct from General Dynamics in 1989. (Danish F-16’s were built in Belgium by SABCA, except some attrition replacements from the USANG). (From the excellent “F-16.net”)
Best regards
The “Frecces..” head on. Marvellous. Never seen before (I believe 😉 )
A “new” underwing angle on the C-47/DC-3. Well Done! The first CAT/PBY shot has “frozen” props. That will “offend” a lot of people. (Don’t know how to “fix” it (after the exposure)).
Best Regards
Without offending anybody the “Gina” was a scaled down F-86 Sabre, as I understand. So the dogfight “heritage” should be there. Was the Etendard in the same NATO competition?
Yes, the smell of JP4, and AVPIN -with a “hiss” – in August 1972 from 729 SQN Drakens. While “walking” by as the lowest member of the Royal Danish Air Force – a conscript going to dig holes in the ground etc.

in addition to the three insane tornado pilots in above, how about some mental german pilots in their F-4’s???
Please check a little before posting, ref. “RAF Tornados”: “You tube” (comments): wluc (5 days ago)
For sure these are are Belgian’s Air Force Alphajet during deployment at Solenzara air base in Corsica.”
Also the German F-4’s are just 5 posts “to the North” (10’th June).
(Yes, I know the “You tube” comments are a da…. pain to go through, but sometimes you get the real story!)
Some low flying. But the cutting and the music really “haunts” me. Very “pro”!

“HEY GUYS
it was a L-39 piloted by Eilon Krugman-Kadi
failed to pull out of a loop

(From the “Yaahoo” F-104 site.)
Very sorry about the loss, but who was the moron that blamed it on the F-104 in the first place :confused: 😡
Yes, taped this a few years ago. The story was “too much” for fiction (as pr. the old “word”). Will certainly look for the book. Strange, strange, strange ..
Best regards
Anyway, “Good Show” by the boat rescuers. I saw no life jackets on crew or passengers. Gambling in Atlantic City? You bet!

Best earguards
a sense of humour, at least 😉
Would one of the pilots on this forum please explain how that RANZF B757 recovers from that almost verticle climb. 😮
Not a (B757) pilot, but I think the easiest recovery would be via a “wing over”. That is dip one wing and recover from a chandelle.?
(works in FS :diablo: )
What’s the story of the “dollar nine teen” low over the ocean?
