mrvr6 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 that was ace! is he a frustrated fighter pilot? lol i know nothing but was the stall warning being a bit twitchy when he landed? it looked fine to my untrained eye? i assume it was more than brakes that stopped it that quick can the herc reverse the blade pitch?

GrahamS Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Is it me or did the co-pilot look a tad nervous? Brilliant Thanks for posting. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charley420 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Going almost vertical with the back door open, look out below for falling change and jolly ranchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) very impressive I did wonder - the audio sounded continous but the overhead weather changed from what looked like solid overcast to clear blue skies in a second or so. Was the video a compilation over two days? Edited November 27, 2011 by JohnT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phat trev Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 A Mad bit of impressive flying! Saw the USAF Herc flying at Farnborough on one of the trade days! I feel they are putting the C130J through its paces as the company has stiff competition from Airbus there is still a lot of life in the aircraft yet!

pte1643 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I remember a trip to Lyneham many moons ago, with the Air Cadets ('81-ish?). Fg Off Public Relations (or whatever his name was) said you can't tip a Herc' onto its side, as it will fall out of the sky. We'll, judging by that the newer ones are a whole lot better. Crazy flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyP Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 i Shot that was working for LM at the Paris show, it was the last C130J display flight they were going to fly and really wanted some onboard footage, so we got a couple of in car iPhone mounts and stuck them in the cockpit, its actually a composite of 4 different flights (only had the 1 iPhone heh) which shows how well wayne and steve choreographed the flight each time. glad you all liked it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 A truly superb piece of flying, would love to have been onboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnley63 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Really enjoyed that, can't believe it was complied out of 4 separate displays - great airmanship. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davec_24 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Very nice, rolling off those steep climbs semi-inverted looks particularly impressive with such a large aircraft. As for the stall warning, I suspect it goes off well above the stall speed to give adequate warning; these systems are usually around to give the pilot warning so he would know about it well before it arrived. Also it looked to me like he was deliberately doing a short-field landing with minimum stop-distance (looked like reverse-thrust on the props, too) presumably to show that feature off - that could mean a slower "over the hedge" speed than usual.
