Is the black smoke from a previous low pass?

lol :awe:

As a pilot for over 35 years, I would have to say this is one of the stupidest actions I have ever witnessed.

Agreed. +1

Note to self: Never attend an air show in Argentina.

 

[TecHNooB]

I'm sure world's greatest explosions/accidents/et al were all there on standby.

 

[MedicBob]

ummm not the brightest bunch all together

 

[Blitzvogel]

Agreed. +1

It's definitely not that funny when you've seen the video to the 2002 Ukrainian air show disaster.

Yes, skill can't make up for stupidity. One random gust of wind and and that video would have turned out much differently.

There's a reason why they don't allow any low level flying over the crowds anymore at US air shows.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Now that is my kind of air show, they even give you a free haircut.

 

[ViviTheMage]

no ty

Yup, and things like that never happen here because of it, though I bet the Rammstein disaster had more to do with it than the 2002 one at Skynliv. Pretty crazy though, and a very good example of the low speed "capabilities" of large-LERXed planform aircraft, though they become difficult and harrowing to control unless you have a straight and steady path going. Had the pilots managed to keep the aircraft from banking during the pull up, they probably could've saved the plane and the disaster from happening.

Another example of losing lift at low speed, with the lift vector unsubstantial enough to maintain flight at altitude, though I hear the main reason was a loss of an engine, which at that altitude and speed, means disaster.

Pilot ejected...in that second clip; so full of fail. You go down with your ship in that mess.

Pilot got in huge trouble for this, as you can probably assume.

No, you don't. Dying for nothing is just stupid.

 

[alkemyst]

As a coward, your reply is expected.

It's about saving more lives than your own.

I am sure in a crisis you will be one of the first to kill your neighbors for their shit.

Does that make you a coward? Or an opportunist? A survivalist?

That is terrifying.

 

[zinfamous]

lololol.

every thread and topic is now a platform for Alke to remind us that his neighborhood is killing him and destroying Ameriku.

Are you talking about the Ukranian crash where he waited until the plane was sliding along the ground uncontrollably before ejecting or the CF-18 where it went down in an open field and didn't hurt anyone?

There was no point for the Ukranian pilot to stay in the plane because there was no way to control it. There was no point for the CF-18 pilot to stay in the plane because there was no one else at risk.
