    Wow. Cool Eurofighter pic

    It's caused quite a stir, seemingly the pilot get VERY close to ground during a display flight practice

    Whether he misjudged it or intended the loop to get THIS close is uncertain but causing much discussion in the flight forums

    would it help if i told you that i knew one of the people who wrote some of the software for the eurofighter and they used to design it in the morning, go to the pub at dinner and have a "few" then come back and write it

    Holy crap! It's gotta be a mistake - noone's that crazy to fly that close to the ground. The warning systems must've been going absolutely berserk!

    wow a photoshop veteran using paint to point something out... ive gotten sad

    anyway
    the RED = points of intrest (shadow and the turf being thrown around because of the thrust)
    the BLUE = flight path
    the GREEN = heat & THRUST from the engines, clearly explaining how the grass is flying up

    It's quite normal to turn off/down the warnings and limits for display flying. OTHERWISE the cockpit woudl be louder with all the alarms than the outside

    LOOK at the feckin photo and READ the first post.

    This was a LOOP, NOBODY goes that close on a loop.
    You're confusing tail-stalls with modern direcetional thrust. EVEN they arent' allowed THAT low !!!

    THIS is NOT what was intended and is already causing a stir !!!

    it's called EMPHASIS !!

    it was to have you go LOOK at the pic and see for yourself actually how close to tthe ground he is

    simillary the other caps were to emphasise those words to get you looking at the sitaution rather than posting an inane comment, everyoen knows that show pilots try for the maximum impact and usually also know they are constrained within strict display regulations

    one thing is sure: eurofighter lives to its reputation of being a highly manuoverable aircraft.
    All we've got are bloody heavy F-14s, F-15s, fragile F-16s.

    However the neu F-22, and F-117s (stealth) should be a happy sign for us.

    But the truth is that the Russians with Su-30, Su-35, MiG-25, MiG-31 and Su-33 are way, way ahead of us.

    That was in Cyprus.

    I like the British Eurofighter pilot who summarily dispatched two Septic F15s who thought they'd have a bit of "fun" "shooting down" the obviously inferior European 'plane.

    Why is it that anything that is even vaguely interesting is a "photoshop" these days?

    "Oh look, a low flying 'plane."

    "OMFG Muz be teh photoshopperz!!11onehundredandelleven!"

    Sure. Because no one ever flew a 'plane close to the ground before did they?
