http://www.aerophotointernational.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nearly no exhaust visible :-) Tree huggers ;-) What I wonder: Is it possible to "flip" with a jet-fighter? Means stinging vertically in the air, taking all power of the engine at peak and let it slide backwards until it flips over the elevator. Or will this suffocate the engine? |

Don't know if a flip is possible, but this russian in his MiG comes pretty close. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2VUq...eature=related -- Cheers, Bert-Jan |

The problem with doing it in an F-16 might not be engine suffocation, but the flight control system deciding that it knows how to fly a plane much better than a mere human, and no way will it let the pilot do *that*! -- Dave not-me should be djw401 and there's no need for any wossname |
