With that LED-covered RC aircraft, I expect
there'll be a spike in UFO sightings wherever
it goes!

Smart of him to color-code Port, Starboard, Fore,
Aft. It would be interesting to see it fly in real
darkness, not just at dusk!

I have a picture in my head of Spitfire getting
into some REAL MISCHIEF with one of those!!!!!!

"Well, I APPRECIATE your switchboard's all lit up
like Christmas, Constable, but just LOOK at it!!!!"

I guess WE all know what YOU'LL be
asking for at Christmas!!!!!!!

Sorely missed Harrier display :

by **Saracenman** » Sun Apr 12, 2009 8:57 pm

not my favourite a/c by any means, but i can't help but love the Harrier for what it can DO! B-)

Here's something for Wedgy ......

A very short landing - then some very interesting air vortices into the engines as it reverses

How to make use of the full runway

by **Saracenman** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 8:38 pm

i think you're right Danf - it's an early one too, without wingtip tanks

it's a new one on me i must say!

Well, you can see it was one of those "interim"
aircraft, and I guess your fellows flew it, too!
Part prop era, part jet.......

It's that canted-up tail to get out of the jetwash
that gives it away.....

Too close for comfort...

needless to say the display was somewhat curtailed after that.

by **Mayfly** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 9:10 am

that was at RIAT,.... 3 years ago?

by **Hihonyr8811** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 11:03 am

I think their reaction on the second video says it all really.
I've seen the first one loads of times but not that second one :-o

That's gotta be fake - 2 fixed cameras - unconvincing 'That field' - 'that field' ... - able to restart the engine to make the turn - and finally absolutely NO cars on the road .... Nice try

Try this one ......

I've seen a C-5 Galaxy do that at mildy on a damp day, very impressive.

that reminds me - i still have some Buccaneer footage that beats that - needs some fiddling before i can post it though

still on the lookout for some famous Buccaneer footage - on exercise in the US desert - Murkin a/c flying low, and then a Bucc flies BENEATH them, kicking up sand =))
