Great videos there Pujgnie! The last part of the 3rd video, now THAT'S low flying

[Jigsaw]

Got to agree with Thumper there, brilliant

A lot of you must remember family/air days of the 70's etc....Lightning's, Bucc's, Phantom's, 4 or 5 Vulcans appearing behind you etc etc. If only I had films of them.....sigh.

[Saracenman]

[Xplumberlives]

Thanks Darnforth, love the AC/DC and especially the nose wheel popping up after the tactical landing!

[Thumper]

Another great show piece I never got to see gone

Great video that but I think the music at American Airshows would drive me insane!

You are insane!!!


Just being slightly pedantic. its RATO not JATO.

[Xplumberlives]

He's right you know!

[Thumper]

OK it would drive me more insane

Indeed, them be rockets on that Herc!

[Dan4th]

Low Level Lightning, who knew 16 tonns could be so agile!



This has to be one of my favourite youtube videos of all time

[Dan4th]

no sound on this, but I thought people
might find it interesting...........

I've never really seen the benefit of tiltrotor aircraft - surely it combines the worst factors of both helicopters and fixed wing?

sm

[Dan4th]

Well, maybe some day they'll get it right!

Plus, this is a tilt-jet, so no ungainly props
in the way. Not bad to look at, either.......

Danf.

[Saracenman]

i till think the Fairey Rotodyne was the best way forward with this type of concept....



yet another promising British machine killed off by Westminster politics

[Dan4th]

Coming soon to an airfield near you:::::::::::::::::



Danf.

[Saracenman]

or not - not if the current round of defence cuts carry on

sm

[Dan4th]

Nah, I think you'll see 'em, just maybe not
as many as you'd like.....

After all, a nice chunk of the aircraft is/will
be made over there, right?

Could you list the WORST factors of both helicopters and fixed wing aircraft?

Bearing in mind that with a tiltrotor you could at least walk away from a grass landing and look as if you meant to land on that surface!
