Jake Di Vita Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Extremely badass. Number 3 was my favorite. Would love to check that out in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasOPM Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Wow! Those are amazing. When I was growing up my neighbor's brother flew A-10's. We lived in a valley next to a lake and he would pop over the ridge, drop down below the tree level and power out of the valley with no warning. I used to love that!

3quartertime Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Good stuff. Being involved with aviation for most of my career I've seen some cool stuff in person and on video. One memorable one is an F-15 doing a low pass over the runway here in Indy and about half way down the landing area he pulls back, fires off the burners and goes straight up until he was almost out of sight. We were probably too close cause we could feel the heat! Another is an old grainy video a Boeing rep showed at a training class years ago of a Boeing test pilot doing a barrel roll in a B707. It was before the web so the video might be somewhere out there, but the neat part at the time was that it was kind of a long story told in the industry. ( commercials aren't supposed to be able to do acrobatics!). Lots of guys didn't believe it cause they didn't see it. The Boeing guy blew us all away when he showed the video proving it had been done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3quartertime Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Great Find!!! Yea that was it. It didn't have the commentary from the pilot when I saw it. The Boeing rep kinda told the same story thou... Too cool. Probably not super impressive to a non aviation type as fighters and stunt planes do rolls all the time. Commercial aircraft are not built to handle attitudes like that. In fact crashes have happened because a commercial will get in an unusual attitude and the structure will start coming apart. Not good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Santiago Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 All nice!! The lowest, fastest low-level I was in was a CH53A at 5 feet at 170kts over a lake. I was the crew chief, not the driver. Here is what the old BUFF could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is what the old BUFF could do. Sorry, only 1 BUFF, and it ain't a heliccopter. I've seen tree debris stuck in radio and ECM antennas on the belly of a B-52 one time, after landing. No, I wasn't flying And one crusty old stan/eval pilot who could dish out (think partial barrel roll) a BUFF 160 degrees or so but, without taking it over all the way (he swore he could do the full roll but thank god I wasn't onboard if he ever did). There is no film of any of that of course. I did have some low pass footage for a few B-52s clearing a ridge somewhere, pretty low, 50 to 75 feet maybe, but its on tape. Let me see if I can find it.
