F/A 18
About 15 years ago I saw a RAAF F/A 18 perform at Ohakea in New Zealand.
After takeoff it flew out to sea. It returned from behind a hangar
travelling slowly down the runway on its tail. The hangar obscured our view
of the transition. It continued down the runway at perhaps 30 mph and 50
metres high. After about 300 metres it rose and continued vertically with
the pilot giving a commentary over the PA once the engine noise had reduced.
It was very spectacular and noisy.
Does anyone know of a video or picture of this feat that I can download?
