What’s your favorite flyby? Mine is #3 [Tomcat]

Dupe!
If any of you ever got to 11 mile or Antero for ice fishing you get to see em Fly bye real low over the ice both jets and the big C-130's and the choppers.
Really cool to see the F 17A this past year come right down the lake so close you could see the pilot looking at the fishermen.

we got a thumbs up...
Just saw one of those Monsters flying over 11 mile canyon last Weds. I could see the rivets around the wind screen. I bet all those fishies feel really safe. At least until I show up..
Noo wonder I can never catch anything on that lake - the fish are too damned scared to come out and take the bait.
Airplane noises seem to attract birds, so it might work for fish...
Move to one of the subdivisions near Buckley Air Base and you will get your fill of low level fly byes, especially on the NG weekends.
Go to YouTube and search "P-51 flybys", but this one is good too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8_5Q...eature=related
this may have been linked in one of the other fly-by threads we've got. I don't remember seeing it and I'm too lazy to look back through all of the post to verify, &, this might not even be real but it makes for good viewing..so....
Not exactly a fly-by, but a "trick take off" of an F-35.
Supposedly, the story here is:
AN UNINTENDED LOOP AT TAKEOFF? ONE OF THE BEST AIRCRAFT VIDEOS EVER!
Well...I would say there's nothing about this the pilot enjoys. If he could have ejected at 100' upside down and lived, he would have.
Looks like the afterburner kicks in while still vectored for vertical takeoff.
Lockheed would call this a "software malfunction" and do a little more "regressive testing." Good demo of power-to-weight ratio of this aircraft! And talk about stability control ... If he didn't come out of the loop wings-level, probably would have been bad news; maybe taking some of the carrier with him!
Flying through your own exhaust can lead to equipment malfunctions, too! As in "flame out."
The F-35 is a single engine jet fighter...at zero airspeed it has the aerodynamics of a Steinway piano. This is the most unbelievable piece of flying you will ever see in your life!
This is how a supremely-trained US Navy pilot, with ice running in his veins instead of blood, fully regains control of his $70 million fighter jet, after a problematic vertical take-off attempt. Watch as the rear vertical thruster goes into after-burner to cause the problem.

Wow, that's scary. It must be faked?
For what it's worth, I heard that video was from a video game.
