shep854 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The first time I've ever seen (or even heard of) a C-119 doing an airdrop through a belly hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this interview, one of the F-14 pilots who flew in "The Final Countdown" tells how he flew close enough to the B-25 camera plane for the cameraman in the tail position to touch the Tomcat's refuelling probe with his foot!

wendist Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Some take-offs and landings during a road base exercise. There doesn't seem to have been any work done on the aircrafts while on the ground. At the end we get a glimpse of some, presumably not so happy, motorists that got stuck while the exercise lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the discussion they mention that very hard to land the plane because the ground clearance of the airscrew is very small, and longitudinal stability is bad.

Yes it was short coupled but the ground clearance for the prop was greater than for example on a Spitfire. Maybe not physically but the attitude (degrees from the horizontal) was lower in the Spitfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That short fuselage does look like nosing over and flipping is a real risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
