Birdstrike IFE

Interesting piece of HUD footage, looks like maybe a T-45 at CRP. IP does a great job of handling the IFE, remaining calm while the stud starts to stress, transfering control to unload the front seater so they can focus on a re-light, making a timely decision to unass the jet and even gets a call off to the tower first.

Bonus points for the use of "jeepers" as an expletive. Nice solid piece of aviating.

Hope those guys didn't get hurt.

Here's the correct one...enjoy

[Stiffler]

That was wacked. Interesting stuff.

I love Tower's reply..."Huh, you're breaking out to the north?"

I bet the fireball clued him in a few seconds later.

Anyone know the outcome, both guys make it out OK?

[Guest Rainman A-10]

That was some nice work.

[ClearedHot]

I can play it but can't save the video. Anyone else able to save it?

What is the automated voice saying? I can't understand it. Dude, that video is the only one I have seen that has an ejection and ends with the plane actually crashing. Crazy.

[Beaver]

They gave that plane a hell of a lot longer than I would have.

[Hacker]

"T-6 N-L" (no idea what that means...)

and "Gear Not Down"

[VL-16]

That IP did a nice job of keeping his cool while trying to calm the student down as well...impressive. On the other hand....****ing birds !

[Guest cb03t]

The stud sounds like he was saying the same exact thing, T-6 N-L, when the automated voice starting saying that. Do you code a bird strike like that in other a/c? Or would you just say bird strike/engine failure? Sorry, dumb/curious cadet here!

[Gas Man]

Great job. Watch their speed, I'm guessing their max glide is somewhere around 130. It stays close to that the whole time. Good show.

[Guest waxgoblin]

that website has some cool videos, i like the AC130 one

I did some detective work/research. I noticed the smaller runway numbers and longer pitot tube, so I figured it was a Canadian Forces Class A. I "googled" some terms.

Turns out it was a RCAF Hawk at Moose Jaw during the spring of last year. Ate a seagull at 800' after a touch and go. The British student had minor cuts but was drinking in the mess that evening. The Canadian IP wasn't so lucky, broke his femur in two places and his pelvis. Several months in the hospital.

Too bad. he deserved to walk away from that one.

They took it down, I got it this morning from that site.

[Guest cb03t]

My favorite part of the C-130 vid is the guy calling it a "highlight reel".

[Guest lakefisher]

I uploaded it to a file sharing website. hope it works. they delete it after 30 days or so, the site says. choose the free download option.

Wow...the "Marine Sniper Kills" one is great!!

[Guest KoolKat]

Thanks fish, that worked...took me a good 8-10 seconds to figure out what the fux was going on with that site, but I got it!
