Red Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Fan-bloody-tastic. I remember seeing the Mig29 OVT display and thinking yea thats pretty unbeatable, but when yo take the aircraft used into account this performance is right up there with the fighter jockey's stuff
Thruster88 Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Pilots can do all that in a cessna 150 at a fraction of the cost. 1 1
tillmanr Posted July 28 Author Posted July 28 And I would suggest a fraction of the planning and skill.
facthunter Posted July 29 Posted July 29 Bob Hoover's routine is more planned. The main thing I'd be concerned about with this demo is overstressing the Airframe, particularly the T tail and effect of negative "G" on the fuel and oil systems, A beyond vertical banked turn is not hard to do but it cannot be sustained.

red750 Posted August 4 Posted August 4 It's a video clip that popped up on FB. Maybe not everyone has seen it. I thought it was interesting that he bounced it on the road, intentionally he said, before landing. What's your beef? 1
Jerry_Atrick Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Blimey! It has been years since I have been to a RIAT... and still is one of the best airshows I have seen. My daughter was born in late July so I always had to go to parties my partner mysteriously schedule on RIAT weekend.
facthunter Posted August 5 Posted August 5 I don't believe contact with the road achieves anything.. Nev
Garfly Posted August 5 Posted August 5 And, heck! I've seen an old Thruster in Cowra do better than this!!! 3

Red Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Was present at the show that year and I've yet to see this dispaly beat for shear manouvrabilty displayed, though as I tried to say before its part pilot ability and part what the aircraft is capable of performing and structuraly withstanding 2
