Is This You???
Hard heads
They certainly are fast enough, up near 300kts, but the crew are not supplied with helmets. That's a lot of V squares with a rooster impact!
You got me - Mach 0.715
Yeah Okay, I said about 300kts, but to be exact it's 284 KIAS, if my Jane's all the world aircraft book is to be believed.
An average speed of 210 may be right, but we're talking about worst case scenario, where the TOT is only reachable at near full throttle, an impact with suicidal chickens who jump real high and are wearing their own helmets. Taking into account the chicken's forward airspeed (with a 10 knot tailwind at a 25% downward gradient as it jumps off the hill) then you can easily see a 300kt impact.
Besides, I'd love to see a Nav sortie take place at that exact speed with the stud changing his mind every few minutes "we are late- go faster"" soon to be followed by "oh no, we're early - go slower!" , and "Lookout Captain - Kamikaze Chooks!"

If someone can host a 23 meg AVI, I have one of some spectacular low-flying by (I think) the French AF. Drop me a PM or something.
Dunno if I can mail it out though... anyone know what I'm talking about and where to D/L it?
While we wait, some amazing air footage of a local piece of pride and joy.
And another film clip, something for the fast jet drivers out there to try to copy.
Cheers,
Fred

FT,
The first Mpeg is huge (42MB). Perhaps you ought to warn eveyone of it's size!!! It took me a while to download and I have Broadband.
As for the movie, very slick yes, but how on earth did Seweeden ever win the eurovision song contest with songwriting like that on the Mpeg?!

Ralf,
figured it'd stream. It didn't? Well, they're warned now.
Yeah, I was gonna put in a warning to mute the sound but forgot. Whoever made the music selection should be used for separation testing!
If he or she has realized the error of his/her ways and is really sorry about it, we'll make it a drop of retarded munition...

Maybe I'm going deaf
Sure, it's a huge download, but the quality is great. Terrific to see something a little bit different for a change. As for the soundtrack, at least it wasn't Billy Ray Cyrus !!

Great download more of the same please, am I going mad or did anyone else spot the one imposter in the film (the mighty Fin). As for the soundtrack, maybe I've been over here too long, but I quite like it.

Video compression
Hey guys, try compressing the videos to reduce the download size. Plenty of programs out there that do it and the quality will hold up if done properly......not evryone has the squizzy broadband and my "one's and zero's" are delivered by camel out here.
Some of the pics and general themes here are repeats of the old thread on page 12 (currently may move slightly as posts go up) "Shocking example of low flying" also worth a look is "low flying Omani Jags" further back on the posts.
Good Better Best
Never let it rest
Till the Good is better
