This is the moment a Hercules airplane flies very low over a road near Beccles in Norfolk. The aircraft is thought to have been rehearsing for the flypast for the Queen's birthday.
Oh no, driver gets terrified(nope), frightened(nope), worried(nope), concerned(nope), is somewhat ambivalent(nope), fails to see Hercules fly past at a comfortable altitude.
I remember seeing a C-130 swoop over the highway once and I was thrilled to see one- it’s one of my most favorite military aircraft I bet this is probably in the UK- I hear the RAF can be seen practicing in the countryside
It’s Norfolk, in the UK. Probably RAF Marham. Yeah, I grew up there. There’s very little in the way of unoccupied space, so you get to see a lot of military flying!
Did not see it until your time stamp, I kept jogging forward as the music was annoying. They is low, we have them fly over our house constantly most days, they perform loops/laps to drop (what I assume are Paratroopers) out of the back.
I remember visiting my uncle when I was a kid in the 70s when he was at RAF Scampton. The scream of the Vulcans taking off and landing really was something. (As was the Lanc gate guardian at Scampton) I used to live close to Swanton Morley and remember lots of Tornado low-level passes over our house. And that was nowhere near the sound of a Vulcan.
Ringshall School is a few miles from Wattisham airfield. In the early 70's you could see the pilot's nose hairs when Lightnings and Phantoms flew over our playing field. Donya would have soiled her undies.
I live on what used to be a very busy low flying route in the Yorkshire Dales and we used to get a Hercules, and sometimes two Hercules over our house at about 200ft.........at midnight..or thereabouts. It blanked the telly out for a second or so. We got so used to it, that once they stopped we missed the "Midnight Herc". These days we get those US hybrid Osprey aircraft, often in pairs which create a shock wave that travels well ahead of them with their giant propellers. They are quite intimidating machines. Low flying no longer commands the priority it used to.Things change.
Things have changed indeed. When I was a wee lad I got to see a Concord take off. There I was, holding my yogurt and watching it take off and my hand gets wet. I look down and some of the yogurt has vibrated out of the cup and onto my hand. That impressed me. The 747 can't do that. Nope. Concord can.
Personally I hate it when the idiot pilots fly their Hercules in 2 or 3 at a time over our house at around 11:30PM in the week... they shake the houses they are so low, wake everyone up, but they don’t care..
Let’s see: -More than 1 minute of nothing happening on a 1:11 video -Ten seconds of outro -About 1 second of actual airplane -No frightened reaction from anyone -Clickbait title Yep, I’d say this video earned a well-deserved dislike.
I had one come along the Swindon to Lyneham rd once at low level,i thought my car was falling to bits started pushing things to see where the noise was coming from lol. Then it flew over the top,they just follow the rd from swindon.
So at what point was the driver frightened. You could have made the title even more click bait by given it a title like, naked driver gets frightened by low flying airgraft.
Something about C-130s man... I live next to the US Air Force Academy, and one day I was just eating my breakfast at 9am and one those fuckers was low-flying, in a 90 degree bank angle, wings totally perpendicular to the ground and then it flew mere hundreds of feet over some residential neighborhoods. Real shit ladies and gentlemen.
Yea jesus he got frightened!! He almost hit that tanker and afterwards swayed all over the road, hit a tree and the driver was flung out but hit a bale of hay and survived while the car went on fire ina huuuge explosion and burned down a whole field and the fire was close to threaten the city but the firebrigade was lucky to just stop it in time. Yea dam the driver got really frightened alright.
Interesting video, I checked the exact location, looks like it is descending when you see it 00:18, and then it passes over the parachute centre, then as is goes over the driver, it has just started climbing again. I was thinking there must be a runway behind and to the right of the road, but there isn't. It's junction of A146 and B1127.
He's just done a practice tac approach, gear down, at Beccles Aerodrome Rwy 27, which ends just over the hedgerow to the left of the road. The B1127 actually cuts the line of the old WWII runway just before you get to the modern Heliport and Parachute centre. Therefore there is indeed the other half of the runway over the driver's right shoulder, now the karting park.
Jees, he must have needed to have pulled over at the next available lay-by and do some deep breathing exercises after that encounter! I'm sure his boss was sympathetic and gave him the rest of the week off, on full pay!!
Wrong, they fly hat low all he time where I live and their airbase is miles away in another county, Hercules pilots are incredibly reckless with their low flying.
So if someone was flying a drone legally and keeping below 120m and this thing just appears flying under 120m and has a collision you can bet they will blame the drone pilot not this nutty stunt.
@@ecotic9715 The reason I commented was because I saw an aircraft like this flying this low 10km along from hunstanton and the nearest raf base is marham.
Try paying attention while driving then. Take a look at the road sign of the 1st exit he took, says something right there about him heading toward an airfield. Some people man -.-
