Re: Plane Spotters Corner
CF-18 crashes at an airshow practice and the pilot ejects at 90'and survives.

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?

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

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
F22 Raptor at Farnborough - fairly impressive flying.
BBC
At about 1:50 and 2:45 there are some "how do they do that" moments.

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!

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

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