That little pickup truck sure gets some miles on it! I'd heard that the event was at high altitude & it just threw people off - high wing loading & not enough air |

well the plane is an L39 and the place Swartkops air force base South Africa - these L39's normally fly well - this one had a flame out just after take off and the speed was just to slow to bring it back - the problem with jets are that they are expensive - lots of sensitive mechanics and you need experience - but boy once you master it they are a blast - the risk is also much higher than planes as they often catch fire when they crash or its almost always a total loss. I have built, flown and crashed a couple!!

Not suckie pilots. I believe that video is of the World jet masters a few years ago. From what I remember from other threads is that there was some really bad cross winds and downdrafts at one end of the runway. I also believe it is a week long event or longer . that video captures about 20 or so crashes. Take 100 flights a day x 7 days. not that bad. Probably could make a video just like that from 1 week at joe nall. Especially if Sleepy is there !

| Re: Turbine planes that hard to fly?
Turbines are not harder to fly, but they are much more sensitive and are challenging. Due to turbine lag, the pilot needs to apply the throttle 3 to 4 seconds before he needs it. Plus, one little bubble in the fuel line puts out the flame  Add to that the glide ratio on most jets is the same as a rock and it makes for a fun day at the field!

| Re: Turbine planes that hard to fly?
I would like a Turbine someday. Turbo-props look just as cool. Here is the song info: Rammstein - "Sonne" or Sun in English. A really cool video:
