The jet, the flying with wings extended and tucked, the perfect carrier landings, EVERYTHING was an honor to watch. Amazing plane and pilot. Hope this plane lives forever without a scratch.
That is so cool. We had Tomcats on my Carrier USS Independence CV-62. Used to love watching the Tomcats during flight ops. My job was in CIC and we had an incident with Libya in 1984-1985. They sent two Mig-23's towards our task force and we countered with two Tomcats on CAP. Our pilots were able to lock from more than 20 miles out. The Migs bugged out and RTB.
I have never watched a model pierce the air so perfectly. Absolutely stunning all around! That isn't nice work, that is perfect work! Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful. It's like looking at a bird of prey: sleek, fast, and shaped for maximum functionality, everything designed and built for optimum performance. It's a "thing", but it looks "alive". Very cool.
just pulling you leg mate , yes the wind was a nightmare , and cross wind at that , I dont usually use the dslr for video hence no wind muffler .It will land very slowly though even on a calm day seems to have an inordinate amount of lift . Steve said that there was very little difference in the characteristics with the wings folded too .
