As a former FAF Jaguar pilot myself with some flights in Central Africa.... nice video, thanks. I just have some classical photos myself, taken from the inside of the aircraft - we were not modern enough in those days.

We had

1. ventral tanks lost on the water over very still and mirror-looking african rivers....

2. a wing-tip SRAM lost during a turn...

Always funny, good for the memory (I'm now a peaceful airline pilot) To the readers still in business : please be careful, really, I had a couple of AF mates disappearing in huge fireballs over the dunes.

I think if you are alone with your eyes and hand (not even thinking about a radalt at those heights of course) should not be a problem.

My idea is that disaster strikes when lads get involved in competition, specially with pictures to be taken.

Happy flying to all.
