Rafale near miss

[Tarnished]

I've just been sent a 5mb .wmv file of a Rafale getting closer to stooffing than anything I have ever seen.

I have the technology to get pictures on here but don't know how to do video.

Anybody care to either tell me how to get it hosted or have me send it on for you to do the necessary?

Regards

Can someone let me know if it works?

Almost the same thing as the Typhoon at RIAT.

Second link works fine Tarnished.

Perhaps he fancies himself as a buccaneer pilot

[Tarnished]

If he had lowered his hook, he could catch fish (with the right lure of course)

Reminds of a video I saw some months ago of a USAF F-16 (Thunderbird, I think) doing a loop.

He started the maneuver too low (or perhaps didn't pull hard enough on the backside), and the aircraft pancakes in. The pilot ejected a split second before inpact.

Can anyone post a link to it?

what was all that stuff about typhoon being the only jet that could recover from such a situation? bad way to prove a point but looks like rafael is every bit as powerful and agile as the eurojet

[southside]

So, whats the difference between that and what happens every Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning in the Plymouth sea areas? That wasn't a near miss at all. The RN Hawk pilots do that weekly.....and with more gusto.

southside, difference is, the Hawks are within intended parameters.

As Austin Powers once quipped: Fook me!

Yes, either that or it's pilots are just lucky fookwits.

THIS chimp was fooking lucky IMHO.

Certainly, he missed although I'll bet he still drowned his drawers.

Whilst browsing a certain army site yesterday I came across these 2 very close calls:

Mirage

Delfin

The Delfin clip takes a little while to load but is worth the wait. Click on the still image of the Delfin and the clip will begin to download.

Pedantic mode on:

The Mirage one is not a close call, its a crash.

Can't view the Delfin one.

Pedantic mode off.

Southside,

Yeah and FRADU can even bounce Hawks off the Sea as well....and land in 40kt crosswinds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[maxburner]

Just watched the Mirage video clip. Nasty! This flying lark seems awfully dangerous, I'm glad I only do battle with the M6. Come to think of it, the M6 is far more deadly than any plane.

Ref the Mirage clip, Trust the French to find a new and novel way to lay down their weapons

Another driver who experienced ground rush. (Hope the guy walked however - did hit the deck kinda hard!)
