Nothing like the sound of that Rolls Royce Merlin engine. |
I thought that guy was gonna lose his head. |
Those are both awesome someone posted this the other day F1 Mirage low level and some more more low and fast |
|
It is a British Harrier. I paused the video trying to check for squadron marks, and the nose is from A GR7 I think. IF you pause the video right as it goes overhead, you can see that it has 2 probes under the nose, in addition to the FLIR on top. Looks like he is carring a DECM pod on the centerline station, and I'm not sure what is on stations 2 and 7. Might be Rockeyes..... |

I can't say their superiors would be too happy seeing those vids... The video of the Mirages in the desert shows one actually pulling up to avoid hitting a tree/scrub. A tad TOO low. |
Nah, if they were too low, they'd have crashed. That's why they go out to Djibouti to do that sort of thing: They're not allowed fly that low in Europe. Annoys the natives, and puts too much population at risk if they screw up. NTM |
This is the most impressive, though the video quality isn't as good as some of the other. www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/Supersonic%20F14%20flyby.mpeg |
| Back in '95, while deployed on the USS Wasp, we had a flight of Sea Harriers come onboard. One pilot was British, one was a US exchange pilot (Marine Corps of course!). When they did their pre landing fly-by, they did it below deck level, about 200 feet off the port side, at 100%. THe Captain wasn't too happy about the disregard for NATOPS, but the British don't fly by NATOPS, and the Marine was flying under British rules. |
