deathmonkey Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I think its a Mirage F1. Anhedral high mounted wings with low aspect ratio. Tail plane is horizontal (if harrier or jaguar they would be anhedral). Side air intakes with single exhaust port. It also has a nose mounted pitot tube at the very point unlike a harrier and jaguar. The jaguar has a slightly boxed nose because of nose mounted equipment. The aircraft in the video also does not have the FLIR on the nose in front of the cockpit that the harrier, both uk gr7s and American AV8-Bs have. Wow. Work on aircraft? I worked on Jaguars and thats about as much as I knew about them! that is defo a B52 Stratofortress. just out of curiosity can the planes programme a set height to fly at? B52, good one Do you mean autopilot? Are you pissed? Er... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 just out of curiosity can the planes programme a set height to fly at? Yes they can, but not that low! Modern jets have TFR or terrain following radar so they can fly at a set height over the ground up hills and down dales. And that film is no Jaguar, having spent years working on them, they cant go that fast! Hell they even have to have 1 engine in reheat to inflight refuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk136 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Saw this one a few weeks back, not quite as quick, but in sheer size- its impressive!! Suprised it didnt tip the little single engine planes over! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYfhC9ft_hk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 And that film is no Jaguar, having spent years working on them, they cant go that fast!

Swampy442 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Yeah LBM, they struggle to reach the sound barrier clean (no external bits like tanks, missiles etc) Having seen them taking off in hot places like Oman fully loaded with drop tanks, sidewinders, other friperies it was a case of full power, full reheat, take off, gear up, disappear over the horizon then sloooooowly pull up. Jags were powered by the same engines that power the BAe Hawk only reheated, 5000lbs of thrust (8500lbs in reheat) 1 Tornado engine kicks out 17,500lbs in reheat, and a Harrier 21,000lbs! I love Jags too, bitch to work on but lots of charm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I like both of those. The first one looks more like a Harrier than a Hornet though . Pretty sure its not a harrier. Harriers have big fat round underbellies lol Edit: Yip looks like a hornet to me... http://www.flightglobal.com/airspace/photos/berniec/images/23235/usn-f18-hornet.jpg I still say it's a Harrier . Harrier! the SINGLE tail plane gives it away and the rounded air intakes.....lol.....AND the sloping wings The tailplane has no anhedral and there's an underbelly tank, so I don't think it's a Harrier. Too much smoke for a harrier/F18. Im saying its a Mirage F1. Still a brave bloke stood there!! Heres a Harrier low pass for you Mirage I'd say. I'd also say oh my giddy aunt. Defo not a Harrier. Thinking about that - the Harrier boys were doing things like this not so long back in the sandy places, but the bosses told them to stop after vids got put on the net. Surly if that were really the bloke would be sat on his arse from the movement of air around the plane!!!!! He did not even move . Look at the sea in this vid I'm going with either a Mirage F1 or possibly a Sepecat Jaguar. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh95/SuperHornet69/MirageF-1Colmar273.jpg (That's a fecking huge drop tank!) http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x126/ScotRanger/SepecatJaguar-7.jpg The second video is brilliant! that aint a harrier its starscream. I think its a Mirage F1. Anhedral high mounted wings with low aspect ratio. Tail plane is horizontal (if harrier or jaguar they would be anhedral). Side air intakes with single exhaust port. It also has a nose mounted pitot tube at the very point unlike a harrier and jaguar. The jaguar has a slightly boxed nose because of nose mounted equipment. The aircraft in the video also does not have the FLIR on the nose in front of the cockpit that the harrier, both uk gr7s and American AV8-Bs have. that is defo a B52 Stratofortress. just out of curiosity can the planes programme a set height to fly at? I don't what the hell you guys are going on about but it's definitely a plane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
