Description: A Thunderbirds F16 Pilot must eject. After take off and a steep climb into a long inverted roll, he comes back around and runs out of sky. Notice how close he is to the ground before letting her go.

the1bigace ::: Favorites through hard work and a random selection from a fleet of pilots from the USAF America is an equal opourtunity thing, you may not be elite when you step in but you will be when you leave. 07-09-10 00:00:51 __________________________________________________
the1bigace ::: Favorites if he can read the switches lol of course. its not like the plane is attached to the mind. If an F-16 pilot hop into an F-15 he just has to get used to a bit of control changes. its no like you need a 3rd arm to pilot a mig. Russians arent that diferent from Us lol 07-09-09 23:56:52 __________________________________________________
boostfiend ::: Favorites In the case of Chuck Yeager - he used to test fly many aircraft that Americans had never flown. In many cases, beyond the limits of even the manufacture. Granted, he was one of the best. 07-09-02 08:05:40 __________________________________________________
kirkjamestkirk ::: Favorites Is flying an unknown aircraft as easy as driving a new car for experienced fighter pilots? Could for example a western pilot jump in a mig-29 or Su-27 and fly it? 07-09-02 07:29:02 __________________________________________________

crashrescueff ::: Favorites The official cause of this crash was pilot error. The pilots altimeter was set to msl(mean sea level).It was supposed to be set to agl(above ground level) there was approx. a 100' differance in the two. On top of the loop he calls out his altitude which was too low for the manuever msl. 07-08-28 19:01:37 __________________________________________________
