The low camera perspective amplifies the drama and compresses the perceived distance from the man to the plane. It was probably higher than most people would recognize. Still pretty intense having something with that type of power come within 50 feet of you.

[LTF]

If I was in that situation, I would have reached up, caught the plane in mid-air, threw it to the ground and then beat the living shit out of the pilot.

But I'm full of badassness.

[MontysDouble]

Good vid Nana.

I'm surprised that the Wake Vortex didn't blow him overInteresting point... although I think that the major source of vortices are wing tips- this might explain the camera shake as the cameraman is off the centre line closer to the wing tips.

In the middle there is almost no turbulence, next underneath the wings, hell freezes over.

^^^ Photo looks legit to me.

Notice the lack of winglets on this older aircraft? Modern designs frequently use winglets to reduce wingtip vortices (dangerous for following aircraft) and decrease drag- increasing fuel efficiency to boot.

Exactly thats why there's a 2 minute separation between Category 3 aircraft on take off ( usually called Heavy; Boeing 747, 757 ans Airbus A340 and A380's).

There is a 7 Minute separation on Approach and Landing for Cat 3 Aircraft or any aircraft following a Cat 3 Aircraft

look real

sorry mcm

Poor quality but some pretty low flying. Watch them fly by the roadside stands in the end.

Ok.. I'm thinking on this... If the Plane was following General Aviation rules, he would be flying at a speed no higher than 250 Knots Indicated Air Speed (KIAS) below 10,000 Feet MSL (mean Sea Level). that is around 460 Kph or 280 Mph.

I didnt see any Flaps extended on the plane so he was flying above maximum Flap operating speed. which is around 110 KIAS (200kph or 120mph)

it's hard to tell but I would gues he was cruising around 140 KIAS (260kph or 160mph)

140 KIAS / 600 = Mach 0.23 at sea level

there has to be some compression of airflow around the aircraft not to mention the cushion effect of air being displaced between the wings and the ground at that speed.

I could be wrong, but there was very little effect on the guy after the plane passed... he sould of been blasted by a jet of air from the nacelles of the Harrier as it passed...

Look at this Picture of a Low Flying Jet, notice the Wake on the water behind the pilot

Watching it back in super slow-mo you can see his jacket puff up as the jet passes over-head.
I was trying to work out if it was just a very good splice... but it still seems legit.

That very much looks like the wake of a ship with the plane shopped into it. If a plane would even leave such a wake, it wouldnt be starting under it but behind i think.

Isnt worth 1000/2000 all about shopping?

:omg:

.

[Afronaught]

It's Possible it's Photoshopped...

I have some Video taken of some Mirages flying at high speed about 10 feet above water, you can clearly see the wake on the water better I'll have to search on my backups for it though and post it.

[FuriousZ]

here are some on water and land, from exhaust and barrier blast. there are wakes but you can see they affect the surface water, in your picture it looks like something plowed trough it.

I didnt see any Flaps extended on the plane so he was flying above maximum Flap operating speed. which is around 110 KIAS (200kph or 120mph)Do you mean 'above minimum no-flap air speed'? :shrug:

In truth I'm no aviation expert- I was going to go for a chopper licence a while back, but decided against it. I do know a bit about helo flight and aerodynamics, plus a little about fixed wing from my RC model experience- your average MS Flight Sim expert certainly knows more. :shrug:

Am I to understand that you guys think the video might be fake?

:omg:

Dudes, that's not some random internet video. That was shared with me by a friend who works for Boeing Integrated Defense Systems. Until recently he was a courseware and training developer, instructor, and analyst working on the Air Force's "F-22 Raptor", providing training to the Air Force maintainers.

That video is real, those dudes are real and it's a pretty regular occurrence on the base.

[Nanabunga]

in your picture it looks like something plowed trough it.

Agreed.

Shopped or not, that is probably the wake from the carrier the aircraft is about to land on...

FFS, it's about a mile long and 100 feet wide. Caused by a plane, I think not.

z7Kg4oR87e4&NR=1

At 0:24 the second two of the three jets coming over the tarmac are a good example of what the harrier did. Watch the third plane, it's about as low as it gets and none of those people on the ground were blown over or harmed.

I'm not saying its Fake, I'm merely just trying to Analise the vid. All aircraft Civil and Military have to Follow General Aviation rules. All Airspace is Controlled by:

1 Taxiways on Airport - Ground Controller
2. Runways and Airspace up to 1500 AGL (Average Ground Level) and 5 NM From Airport - Tower Controller
3. 1500 AGL to 9000 MSL (Mean Sea Level) (depending on the country some are at 12,000 MSL and Higher) - TMA (Terminal Movement aria) Departure and Aproach Control
4. Higher Altitudes - ARTCC Center Controllers (IFR Only)

granted that there are Special rules areas for Military flights, but Military Airbases Have only certain Military Air Traffic Controllers, Only IFR Clearance, Ground and Tower Controllers. TMA and ARTCC are Controlled by Civil Aviation.

[Afronaught]

An Example:
http://tfr.faa.gov/save_maps/sect_9_2814.gif

That purple boarder is The TMA for El Passo Approach all aircraft flying within that airspace will be controlled by the TMA.

Also Notice the Restricted Arias, That is for Military Traffic only.

Also there IS a NOTAM that a section of that Irspace is Closed to traffic for an Airshow.

All aircraft Civil and Military have to Follow General Aviation rules.

Hmm... :think:

"The different requirements for airline, on-demand, and personal flying are delineated within particular parts of the Federal Aviation Regulations (the FARs can be accessed online at www.faa.gov) which govern all flying within the United States except for the military."

"General aviation is not the scheduled commercial airlines and it is not military aviation. Pretty much all other aviation activities...fall under this broad heading."

"General Aviation is everything other than the airlines or military, it is correct to assume general aviation must therefore embrace a wide range of activities; many of which are conducted for hire."

"Military aviation, in contrast to the oversight of civilian flying by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), is controlled by major military commands - Army, Navy, and Air Force."
