The photo above was taken in Masirah and this long distant shot was taken at Clark AFB in the Philippines.
This crew were stunting and on take off, gear up, nose down, Christ what was that?
What that was happened to be contact will a noise abatement bank on the airfield perimeter taking out the nose wheel and one set of mains. The runway was foamed - those were the days - and they set up this approach. Usain Bolt would have nothing on the speed this crew feathered the props, jettisoned the crew door and ran like hell.
