It's just a model

If you took out the first minute of video, you would never know it was a model.

This may have been posted here before but I thought it was way cool. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Wow that was really cool. What a nice landing.

PS Notice the contrail from another plane.

Model or not, I know what I'd do when I see that silhouette directly above me. That was impressive.

Now I'll have to dig out the video showing it turning into a large, smoking, hole in the ground. That looked real, too.

That's bad, I hope no one was hurt on the ground... sad, I'm sorry for its builders....

I saw the real one crash on TV several years ago. They said this pilot was the Air Force "stunt" pilot for the B52's. He was practicing for a show and was about to fly over a weapons depot (A big no-no in the forces). He tried to cut it too sharp, the wings lost lift and he AND his crew plowed into the ground. It's a shame. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Yep, slow speed, swept wings, and sharp turning manuvers don't mix well... Something about tipstall.
