Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Doh! Glad the Su30 crew got out, and I hope they're unhurt by what is a pretty major screw-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimpyboy Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 The prize for best accidental (and fatality-free) engagement should go to the Russian gunship crew brassing up the media at a demonstration: Mind you, it was against the media, so no jury would convict... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick4350 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Many years ago in either 1978 or 1979 I attended an airshow at the Oakey Army Aviation Base, we were being entertained by various aircraft doing aerial displays and one of those aircraft a Pilatus Turbo-Porter that had been borrowed by someone who had too much to drink as we were told over the loudspeakers. The pilot was doing touch and goes showing how the aircraft could do extremely short takeoffs and landings until the aircraft came in really fast and hit the ground when the fixed undercarriage decided it would retract for a change and it stopped dead in its tracks in a cloud of dust not more than 150 feet from the audience. Wish I took my camera that day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone thinks that dog fight should be thrown into the garbage? This incident says - "no", because according to the published data ... the ammunition consumption of the Su-35 in this incident amounted to 5 (Five!) shells!

Now one can only sympathize with the pilot, there is a wide range of articles according to the current legislation. I don’t remember exactly, maybe I’m mistaken, but in some of the wheel bay there was a switch for firing a "training-combat" cannon, which the technician had to switch, and the pilot had to check the position before landing in the cockpit.
