cowpuc Posted April 11, 2016 #3 Posted April 11, 2016 AMAZING!!! Flat out, irrevocably,, unbelievably AMAZING!!! :clap2::clap2: I cant ever remember what day it is half the time and these folks are landing jets and prop job airplanes with one wing missing - JUST AMAZING!!
uncledj Posted April 11, 2016 Author #4 Posted April 11, 2016 WOW ! That prop plane landing is beyond belief...!!! I was at an airshow once where they actually flew a F22 backwards. It was amazing.....The pilot flipped the plane over, and "coasted" backwards for about 10 seconds, flipped it over again and took off.....was a speck in the sky in a few seconds.
M61A1MECH Posted April 11, 2016 #5 Posted April 11, 2016 That is one amazing airplane, I worked on them for about 7 years between the Air Force and McDonnel Douglas. Watched them do Viking take offs many times. A Viking Take off is where the pilot pulls the aircraft up vertical as soon as it lifts off the runway. When the F-15 beat the soviets in the time to climb record, the aircraft went down the runway at full afterburner lifted off and then went vertical and broke the sound barrier while in vertical flight. I believe it could probably fly with both wings gone, the engines are that powerful.
Flyinfool Posted April 11, 2016 #6 Posted April 11, 2016 Here's another one! More info on this HOAX. There is a reason it is unbelievable.............. But the F15 is real.
