For those that know the CF-18 like the F18 it is capable of high alpha at 70-90 KIAS with both turbines operating. However, if you look close at the performance and the photos you will notice the right yaw and that the right turbine shut down. The photos show the tail cone is closed indicating no thrust or A/B...
I'm happy the pilot made it out. As far as the stupid comments, a buddy of mine was at Ramstein AB during that air show disaster and some chick in front of him asked "You think they're dead?" Yeah, them and about some 40 odd people on the ground.
if we were going to slam someone we should slam KARA
now guys lets leave ernest a bit of a break he doesnt understand the power of a f-18 and its abilities so we cant thrash him so badly but anyways with that being said what ernest said about him being to low is wrong as well and its to show how much power to weight ration the f-18 and with that being said it was designed to be a carrier based aircraft and how well the plane performs at slow speeds around the boat is exactly what is needed and while doing the high alpha/ slow flight demo it shows its ability around the boat. Ernest watch an f-18 tactical demo or a blue angels airshow on youtube make sure you have audio of the annoucer because he will explain what the ac is doing. ac-aircraft
malheureusement celà arrive encore trop souvent
I cant believe Ernest would question the pilot and his actions.......give ur friggin head a shake!Highly trained and experienced people........
