I think this belongs in the 'dont do this' folder for both pilot and cameraman :-o

Would of loved to have been there though , off to one side obviously

Great post mate.

Not too suprised the cameraman chickened out!!!

by **Spitfire** » Mon Mar 08, 2010 7:52 pm

As sometimes happens in YT the video played in chunks as it was loading and at 0.32 it stopped where the cameraman had decided to look up as the plane went over - and the frame is just full of the left engine nacelle :-o

'Kin 'ell indeed

utterly amazing aircraft........

Just lovely!

Not too sure where to put this :))

Did this deserve a permanent grounding? certainly broke the rules of 1000' minima .........& we have no idea what if anything they have done before - certainly put a smile on my face!!!! & It was well received by the crowd.

Bit harsh, but rules are rules. I wonder if the ruling would be the same over here.

I think they'll be back on the line Monday...........

I dont see a problem with that flypast at all B-)

"nearly tragic consequences" , Where was the near crash ? =))

by **Mayfly** » Sat Mar 20, 2010 10:33 pm

It's the problem utoob causes unfortunately once out there for all to see - it can't be played down or kept quiet - personally I would like to see a really sh1ty posting for 3 years - assuming it's their first 'offence'

by **Dan4th** » Sat Mar 20, 2010 11:39 pm

Too much money invested in making them good.

Nothing wrong with the pass.

Wrist slap only..........

I see they place orange markers down on the ground - presumably for a reason??

David, they certainly do acknowledge the photographers, a friend of mine actually recieved some wonderful pictures of him flying his 100 Sqn Hawk through the Mach Loop a few years ago. The photographer had contacted RAF Leeming and forwarded the shots to him, he then rang the chap and actually had one of the shots looking down on him as his laptop screensaver!

The orange banners let the aircrew know where the "FANS" are.

Do people just go up there randomly or do they know when flying takes place?

Thank You Snail!

Here in Bangor we get KC-135 flyovers
and sometimes the choppy-copters over
our downtown parades, and it/they are
always impressive! I think the tanker guys
are obsessed with getting as L-O-W as
they can manage! Also as LOUD!

Here's another thing I found that I thought
