There is only one thing I can say.
That chap is a :mad: :mad: !

How did the PIC get away with it?

I must figure out exactly how much laxatives I need to add to the rest of the crew's meals, in order to make them all run to the toilet at the same time...

It's a pilot thing! In eight years I had to stop three seperate E3D pilots from trying to do the same. Children and playtime springs to mind, still it looked good none the less.
:eek:

To be honest I think the pilot should have his wings taken away.

If he does it with nobody else on board then good effort, bit of barnstorming, bit of balls, sod the taxpayer, don't get caught etc.

But to do it with other people on board bang out of order.

Flaps down?? Doesnt look like it.
Gear down?? No
Landing approach?? Hope not.
Takeoff?? Flaps and gear up at that height?? Doubt it.

Showing off??? Likely

F*ck me! Balls of brass, brains of concrete!

Are the French doing air to ground refuelings now? How long would it take to top off a LeClerc or whatever the crunchies are driving now?

While I've always had 'D' envy as compared to the anemic TF-33s of the USAF, I am now glad that none of my bus drivers ever spoke of doing that! (Thought of it probably.....)

Wonder how many careers will be brought to an end through the advent of the 'on-line video'?

The driver had better not have pi$$ed off any of his back seat pax, else the date/time/location might accompany this clip when it lands on the desk of his boss - who will no doubt greet him with a rather terse "Expliquer ceci à moi!" :\

Close to the ground: Alpha Jets

Is it downloadable? Right clicking and save as only saves link, not file for me.

Nobody knows where it happened or how.
I have been told (and I am not saying it is true) that it was near Moussoro in Chad.

Same place as the Mirage F1 video then of them taking off in unbelievable fashion and nearly failing.... then showing them going low following a dirt road in Chad. In the end they top off with fuel from a French KC135F

I was just about to mention Holland, the cowboy B52 chap.

It's all fun and games until the BoI and the funerals.

Two's in 28th Nov 2006 22:35

These clips should be a mandatory part of every met brief on at least a monthly basis, then the "what harm could it do, brigade?" might begin to get a reality check. Even before the funerals it is criminal negligence, plain and simple.
