Heinemann's "hot rod". The US Marines kept ordering these long after the Navy stopped getting them. They went "low-and-slow" better that any other jet in the inventory at the time. The AV-8 Harrier eventually replaced the A-4 in the USMC* inventory. Not shown is the twin seat version, the TA-4F.

DavidB-AU Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 A 360 from the cockpit of an RAAF C-17A Globemaster flying at low level over Brisbane on Thursday. This was a rehearsal for Riverfire tonight. I was in one of the city buildings looking DOWN on it as it flew past! 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted September 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 28, 2019 Not a pic but yesterday returning on the 16:25 KL1074 AMS-MAN I had my first aborted landing - I enjoyed it immensely! We came in low over Denton/Bredbury with low cloud cover and patchy rain. Turbulence was much lower than expected with just a little roll present occasionally. We went lower and power was applied pressing us into our seats - then back to the glide path over the pub at the end of the runway. I did think we were still a bit low at this point. Then more power whilst descending over the runway. Must have been a few 10s of feet above it now. The plane was pitching quite a bit - then nose up with full power. The Pilot later explained "that wind shear was the cause and that we wound try and have another go if the weather improves - if not we would be off to another city." So a low tour around Manchester and we landed without fuss 20 minutes later. Obviously I am no expert but wind shear did not seem to be a problem but height was. I wonder if they had that pressure/altitude thingy set correctly to show Manchester's runway to be at zero height when coming in? Kev. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind shear causes vertical height fluctuations, so depending on the type of wind shear you can gain and lose altitude very quickly. This can lead to an unstable approach and a subsequent go around which from your description sounds likely. Whilst it’s not impossible I think it highly unlikely the go around was caused by an altimetry issue. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those photographic angles are quite misleading - but you're right about the altitude and the relative proximity to structures. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted October 2, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 2, 2019 Seen flying over the Grosmont Station area on 26 September, I'd be grateful for an identification please. I know it looks to be from the De Havilland 'Moth' stable, but that's about the limit to my knowledge. Thanks in advance for informative replies.
