How low can they go? (Spoiler) you can only tie the record.Also, no pictures of aircraft about to do gear-up landings.
>>64999129you do realize helicopters are aircrafts?
>>64999155And they can only tie the record.

>>649991290 because all of them will land one way or another
>>64999166It's possible to crash below sea level. I'm pretty sure the USAF has managed it.
Happening tomorrow near me. Mite b cool
>>64999129About 50cm below sea level if you start counting from the hull
>>64999769>Death valley get very hotYea, what's up with that? Shouldn't it be cooler down there?

>>65000034I'm going to dig a 50 foot hole at the bottom of death valley and crash a plane into it. what then, huh?
>>65000044I'll dig a 51 foot hole and crash into that, what now bitch

>>64999166They could fly through a cave if it was big enough.
>>64999155
Any videos of a B52 doing that?
>>65000813not exactly...
>>65000829recoverable
>>65000813The best we got is B52 doing this
>>65000718That sh1t is so cool it's even better that it's normal over there.
>>65000905Piled it in seconds later just beyond the ammo dump. There is a video of the same guy just missing a ridge line by about ten feet.
>>65000914I'm trying to find the video of a Vulcan flying between two hangars. It's potatovision but it exists.
>>65000829Someone in that pic had already pulled the handle you can see the hatch/cover.
>>65001087Yeah, that's the co-pilot (they didn't make it)
Pic Related, Buccaneer stretching the upper limit of its maximum altitude
>>65000760naval aviation is so fucking coolimagine screaming 30ft over choppy Atlantic waves towards some Soviet battlegroupthen you punch the afterburner, the whole plane shudders, your controls invert, you lose wing-in-ground effect and you've left the scream of your own engines far behind youonly the thrum of the fuselage is left as you head in for death and gloryyou wake up the B-61 and prepare your last pull-up maneuver

>>65001120Buccaneer pilots climb to give the landing gear somewhere to go.
>>65001130Frog never flew suicide missions with their naval aviation, BUT they had a land based nuclear bomber that was designed to do a no return strike into Russia called the Mirage IV that involved doing exactly what you described
>>65000996posting the legendary video : https://youtu.be/3oY4iqXxy2k
>>65001206I thought the carrier-based Mirage IIIM was nuclear certified?
>>65001216can't tell if you are trolling or if you really believe it lmao
>>65001219honest questionthis is all way before my time
>>65001234npnp, the mirage 3M is from the Metalstorm game. Frogs carried the nuke using etendards and super etendards before the rafale. No mirage ever took off from a carrier. There was a small time window when they did use a gravity bomb with the etendards before adopting stand off nukes
>>65001209insanity>>65001252many thanks

>>65001275suddenly not knowing where you are is one of those bad things that might happen
>>65001206IV didn't really have the range to get home. If ALL the nukes were in the air then anywhere flat and long enough would do. The Brits knew the same, there homes wouldn't be there to go home to.Weren't there Nuke Skyraiders with a one way plan.

>>65001569I have the Spit pass saved as oh F* oh F* he was told to make it low. I like how he is climbing over the presenter.
RAF Buccaneer pilots were a different breed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24CaLD8l0OEdescribing taking part in the Red Flag exercises in the US: >"and we descended to low level, say to about 100 feet initially... And as we came into the CAP area, we've got a Combat air Patrol ahead of you, we descend down to oh, about 10 feet, something like that, about 550 knots...">"but we found that, you know, at that height, we were leaving dust trails, so we climbed to 20 feet..."
a classic
>>65001275chad is literally one of the flattest countries on earth, there's endless expanses of nothing and fuckall in every direction for longer than your fuel will probably last. I would feel pretty safe just turning on the autopilot and checking my phone.
Look at footage here : >>64945465

>>65001677absolute madlad
>>65001405>IT'S STAR-SCREAM!!!
>>65001930Someone allegedly lost a wing tip.Vulcans nuking America was an interesting exercise thing, after the second successful one they decided to stop inviting us.
>>65001694Yeah, a classic blunder.The pilot didn't hit the sign from flying low, the retard hit the sign while showboating a T&G on a highway.
>>65002022it's a wonder it didn't get sucked in
>>65001275>he thinks the mirage F1 has a ground following radarThere's an EF-111 that claimed a maneuver kill on an iraqui mirage F1 that was trying to follow it while it was using the terrain following radar.The mirage F1 doesn't even have fly by wire, all the flying in the video was manual.
>>65002011I saw a Vulcan irl, sadly didn't also hear itbeautifulwere they running across the Atlantic all the way or what
>>65000027>>65000028They. REALLY. Lived.
>>65002084>were they running across the Atlantic all the way or whatNTA but during Exercise Sky Shield II four Vulcans from 83 Squadron flew from Lossiemouth, the other four took off from Bermuda and made simulated bombing runs on targets within the US without being detected (using lessons for effective jamming learned by Bomber Command during Exercise Ardent 10 years earlier)
>>65002122I wasn't a fan of the ending, though. The yacht and helicopter thing was kinda dumb.Supposedly there is a alternate ending floating around out there, but I haven't seen it.
>>65002161>Exercise Ardent??Ultimately the main learning opportunity for Bomber Command was the effective use of jamming. In particular, they learned that the trick to use against jet-powered aircraft was not to attempt to draw the fighters away from the bombers, as had been the case in WWII, because the jet fighters could quickly reposition against the bombers when the jamming aircraft moved away. Instead, the jammers should be used to draw the fighters into the air in advance of the bomber's arrival, timing it so the fighters would run out of fuel and return to base just as the bombers appeared.very interesting
>>65000829
>>65002062Even crazier then
>>65000714I live under an occasional flight range and have gotten zoomed by fighters a couple of times. Not quite that low and on pavement but about as fast. It's intimidating as fuck and absolutely glorious as a taxpayer.
>>64999129Pretty low, like 10-15 feet.
>>65003150I would like to point out that i'm reasonably sure this is Mehi from @studyjuche narrating this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmqI6NMR-X0And that you should like or subscribe to her for her sake. She seems to be a good person.
>>65002259there is something so elegent about that fat fuck in flight, its like a manta ray.

Convair proved that the b-58 could do low level bombing missions and was developing a terrain following radar, but unfortunately that wasn't enough to stop macnamera from cancelling it in favour of the f-111.https://youtu.be/yFPgur_cUmA

>>65004688torpedoes?
>>65004697Starting from the second wave, yeah.
>>65004707you'd think they would drop them from a mile out or something... ballsy pilots
>>65004688For as insane as modern warfare is, there's something special about even air-to-sea warfare having just about involved making eye contact.To say nothing of shooting at each other with rube goldberg machines and doohickeys because someone worked out that if you set up a gear ratio just right you can make your sights stay aligned with your gun traverse, or that somehow an exact ratio of movement of a capstone against a wheel in enough different configurations hooked up together allows you to calculate your firing solution for the ship's guns.>>65004732The further out you are, the more your alignment matters and the more time the ship has to react and avoid your munitions. Remember these things aren't guided, they'll just scoot off in whatever direction they happen to be facing in when they hit the water. The maths to do longer ranged shots is also hard enough with all the mechanical computers that a submarine had to help out, with a plane you gotta eyeball it.
>>65004755you can eyeball it with a submarine too, but it's harder to get into a firing position where it's easy to eyeball itI think many things in WW2 were done wrong for the technology of the timelike, if I wanted to sink convoys I'd build 100 long range torpedo bombers not 10 submarines

>>65001411Aussies allow this? Based
>>65019217Im a burger but i love these old RAF mad lads. Massive respect
>>65017569>…and one Union general!
>>65001130>your controls invertwut>you lose wing-in-ground effectat 30' in a fighter you never had it
>>65020517>wut> In the simplest analytic model, leading- and trailing-edge control surfaces generate rolling moments by changing the effective airfoil camber of the wing. At high dynamic pressure, the control deflections and torsional flexibility of the wing complicate this simple concept by changing the local angle of attack across the wingspan as it rotates in relation to its elastic axis. For trailing-edge control surfaces, the changes in airfoil camber tend to dominate at low dynamic pressure; but as dynamic pressure increases, their roll control effectiveness tends to be reduced because of reduction in local angle of attack. The limit condition for this effect is referred to as aileron reversal and has typically forced the control designer to consider alternate means to provide roll control in this part of the flight envelope.http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20050204120.pdf
>>65020035That's Chuck Norris.
Can't find a better quality version but have a Lancaster flying under the Sydney Harbor Bridge
>>65020754okay but you're not flying the aeroelastic f-18 nor are you flying a subsonic aircraft faster than it was designed to go. the controls still work in the same way.
Bump
>>65000718The first time I saw this video I could feel my ass puckering in fear.
>>65019375They occasionally do low altitude training in Brisbane, and have done similar flyovers as part of the city's Riverfire festival. Brisvegas doesn't have a whole lot else going on so the air force puts on a show.>>65024670You really don't expect a plane the size of the C-17 to be able to move like the C-17 can.
