http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Dr2ZB36p9Y #6 is my favorite... id give anything for a ride in a fighter.
I had a front row seat for the 2 F18 flybys on San Francisco Bay. I was on one of the boats out there. This MIG flyby would have been interesting to see. It is a real picture. Image Unavailable, Please Login
A few stills on the subject. The Jaguar looks like it might have been a still from #4 on the videoclip. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
This one is fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S61zLcMFp1A&feature=PlayList&p=3557583982684D6A&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=30 There is a truely amazing B-52 low fly-by, where the pilot clears a ridge by 20 feet at 600 mph. Unfortunately, I can't find a version of it without a later video where the pilot later crashed prepaing for an airshow, killing all aboard. Regards, Art S.
The crash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjv4eTZCefY And more of the same guy.......Bud Holland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQa4PpIkOZU
Why has he got three feathered engines? the a/c doesn't really look that damaged.....regardless I wouldn't want to be that low on one engine
we need some airliner love on low pass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26H-WzIe858 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgusXzo6omU&feature=fvw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMaR66OZyrw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-755XPYcnM
I wish there was video of the Dale Snodgrass F-14 flyby where he performed a low level, high speed turn around the boat. Here is a still. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I have posted this before. It's Ranger in the Indian Ocean. Look how flat the water is. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Holland ws a menace and should have been grounded way before this happened. His DO/OG Commander was on board in the jump seat, too. There is no lift at 90 degrees of bank. Only what you are getting off the rudder, and that is not enough for a 350,000 lb aircraft. Taz Terry Phillips
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxOh7SGSIQQ The famous German F-4 low fly by video.......... As an 8 year old kid I still remember the RCAF CF-104 ripping overhead the parade square during armed forces day in Germany at probably 50' AGL and in full burner.......military jets today are sooooo much quieter.......
I agree 300%, Taz. Holland had done a lot of dangerous stunting in the B-52 and should have been grounded long before this final incident. I have been told that he brought airplanes back with rivets missing in the fuselage skins after playing games out over the desert. His airspeed BEFORE pull up was slightly over 160 Knots and bled off quickly as he pulled into a tight climbing turn with wings almost vertical. he would have needed at least 20,000 feet to affect a recovery. A predictable result. Stopped frames of the descent show the guy in the right seat ejecting too late and I think striking the vertical tail. A totally ego-driven stupid STUNT.
That New Zealand Air Force 757-200 is almost vertical, brilliant pass!!!! (former Transavia Holland 757)
I was at Fairchild when this crashed, staying in the BOQ just to the left of where he went in, you can see buildings in the video.. he missed the buildings luckily or more would have been killed. I was working offsite that day. I was amazed of how much of the plane went into the ground and how little was left...
