Looks like he was slow, nose up and went into a stall spin. Apparently the right engine flamed out.

And it had to happen during that song didn't it? :rofl:

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

Yep, just let the Nose up slow speed pass get away from him, at least he would have known that he had an issue as soon as the nose slewed hence the succesful punchout

F22 Raptor at Farnborough - fairly impressive flying.

BBC

At about 1:50 and 2:45 there are some "how do they do that" moments.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

hmm I wonder what the score would be Typhoon vs Raptor....I do know from wiki that the typhoon did beat 2 F15e's

Lucky man.

One of the few years I never got trade tickets for free :(

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

Thanks. :)

I'm happy that the ones of The Blades came out quite good!

Towards the end of the afternoon, the cloud started rolling in more (as you can see) so I'm a bit disapointed with the Red Arrows and the Vulcan.

Still - I got to stand under the wing of a moving Vulcan when they towed her out!:)

Gutted - you could have seen the Raptor!

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

Yep, still not seen one live.. Will have to do with sitting in the back garden watching the ocasional spitfire and ever increasing apaches :(

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

What is the deal with those Apaches? We've had loads over our way!

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

Excellent pics. I just wish I could have gone.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

They gotta train somewhere.. We get them from the west either high up over the south end of the vilage (following the chilterns) or they come in just north of the chilterns on a lower altitude then bank left to go north from the top of the village. Also get a lot of Pumas, Lynx following the same route quite often

I've been to a hotel up north where sitting on the balcony, Tornado jest would fly past below your point of view.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

2 spitfires and 2 hurricanes in formation heading back towards duxford way just passed overhead about a minute ago
