Typhoon Close Call At RIAT
Typhoon Close Call At RIAT this pm.
How close can an ac get to an accident? Sooooo much alpha, soooo near the ground. Glad for him that he got away with it (and for half the RAF in the corporate hospitality area, I think we were all a little taken aback at the proximity).
Fair decision to knock-off all of the low display and vertical manoeuvres after that. Indeed, I was kind of surprised that he did not go straight home after monstering the base height. I’d love to see a replay just to see the nose down angle when it all went wrong, as well as the clearance from the deck as the sink rate was finally arrested.
