Crazy French Pilots..wow
« on: July 27, 2009, 11:24:00 PM »
Sorry if this has been posted before, but this video is just nuts. I give it a 1 for musical score, and a 12 for footage. Rafales and Mirages, 2 beautiful planes. There are also some videos along the lines of this one, of french helo pilots....it's pretty insane too. If this is a repost, feel free to delete.

Yee-haw.  :O

I always like skimming mountains and banking over at the crest and pulling down the other side...can't imagine the thrill of doing it at 500mph, in real life.

Having been guilty of a few low passes myself, (there's video). After watching that, I now realise that I haven't got low enough yet. Must try harder.  :uhoh

What's a "fight hanger"?
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

I used to love flying through fighter hangars in AH, except when I augered :D But in real life I try not to get too low because if the crash doesn't kill me the boss will, :furious besides it always feels lower than it is. Having said that he could replace me and the plane the following week.

There is a guy based on the airstrip I fly out of that flies a Cardinal so low that I swear you can see the top of his wings from certain angles. But he will kill himself one day when a wheel touches the ground. He won't listen though.

Slap him in the face or stomach and have a heart to heart.  Tell him he's gonna die if he doesn't change the way he thinks about aviation.  Hopefully he gets the idea.  Flying is not a right, it's a privilege.  How many hours does he have anyway?

Pilots should start a crash bingo similar to skydiver's "bounce bingo" (bet on who will be the next to die, the person who guessed right wins the pot).

Sometimes, seeing their own name on "the list" works better than sermons to make people realize that they are doing something wrong or are pushing the limits.

He's been told but isn't listening. You can only do so much. His family own the land on which the strip is situated. He has an less than a couple of hundred hours. Maybe one day, he'll do it in front of a vacationing FAA inspector. He has an FAA private certificate and the aircraft is N registered. I'd love to see that ramp check.
