[far queue]

Ha ha, had to laugh at his mates scattering as he headed for them :shit:

O.M.F.G.
Im guessing that video clip is genuine, and not a CGI kind of trick?
Bet hes one of the most gifted traineee pilots that failed to pass out of training....Im assuming hes now a civilian? heheh.

[Hitcher]

That pilot didn't have big balls. If he did they would have dragged on the ground.

[DangerMice]

and you just know he was singing highway to the danger zone in his head...

[Geeen]

That was cool, I bet his mates needed new undies tho :laugh: Good find

[Toaster]

Well those balls would certainly have grass burn on them now.

Fantastic effort that man.

Argentinian air force pilots?

They didn't exactly do that well in the Falkland Island dispute did they?

The British pilots made a few of them try to fly even lower than ground level, maybe he learned his tricks then! :shutup:

Actually....the argentines did remarkably well considering what they had and what they were up against. And yep - they learnt a lot about staying low and hitting fast.


Wish it was on video somewhere.....remember hearing about a Kiwi Skyhawk passing over a kiwi warship......wingtip down over the middle of the boat...but between the funnel and the mast. Lower than the top of the mast and funnel...

Those Skyhawks' were pretty upmarket and well appointed aircraft that could punch well above their weight from all accounts!

What a frigging waste of money for stuff all advantage just to appease the Labour peacenik supporter groups. (was there an actual "real" reason for doing that?)

I recall a yarn about an NZ Skyhawk pilot late 70's I think....who was summoned to the CO's office and awarded a trophy for being the luckiest pilot around at the time. The trophy was a short piece of aerial mounted on a block of wood....the aerial was shorter than it should have been when mounted underneath the aircraft.

The yarn went on to say the pilot was doing "touch and goes" except on one occasion he left his undercarrage up, and it was only the ground effect that kept him of the tarmac....

Then again it may only be an urban myth....because surely he would have noticed something?

[2Seat_Terror]

There was a Strikemaster that wore it's underside aerials down during a touch-and go (wheels up) and got away with it... :eek5:

That's alright. They will have their chance to redeem themselves in the upcoming Falklands War #2.
