Jessica Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Low flying? Nope, never happens. Any flying which appears to be low is merely a figment of the observer's imagination, or can be put down to optical distortion of the atmosphere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6m5KkcKJmk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blogs On Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 One of those nutters flew underneath a Skyvan on finals into Salalah, I know it happened as my old Pa was taking photos of the approach between the "drivers"!! Surprise, sudden onset of turbulence and PIO does not make for a tidy arrival! I think it was the same guy who later lost the back end of his Jag during a live drop on the range as he had exceeded the safe release speed of what I believe was a thousand pounder and needed to land by "rocket assisted parachute" care of Martin Baker! Nice videos Jessica, that is what is called flying in ground effect! Sorry for the drift. More Hercules building bits please! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
