Steve Davies Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Short clip of Harrier GR7 doing tactical departure at Kabul, or wherever. Work safe if your speakers are turned-off. http://media.putfile.com/low-one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jpilot Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I had to play that one a couple of times to really appreciate it. I love how the guy says he's not going to flinch, but ends up ducking. Great clip, Steve. Jp- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egochecks Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Nice. How far off the ground do you think he was? He looked no more than 20-30 ft. Thanks for the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperStallionIP Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 After looking at the video a few times, I would say that the belly of the plane is no more than 15 feet AGL. Pretty wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton Bigsby Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 EDIT - I should say that's probably either Kandahar, or Basra. If pre-OIF could be Kuwait. only reason I don't think it's Kandahar or Kabul is the total lack of mountains. anyway, whatever, it's impressive. [ 08.

Steve Davies Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 And I suppose if it really was Kabul the exhaust flux would have set off all the mines in the overrun, too! I have some nice screen grabs from the vid. Will post them tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitteEinBit Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Nice! I'm sure that was Kandyland (Khandahar) because you can see the mountain to the north of the field when the aircraft passes and I remember being on the ground at Khandahar and seeing those guys take off and make their turn out at what looked like no higher than 50ft. That was pretty bada$$! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerkDerka Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Upon second review I finally saw the mountain you're talking about Bitte. (Missed it on first post) Definitely Kandahar. HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xtndr50boom Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Originally posted by Stuck: America. **** Yeah. Cheers, Stuck Don't mean to burst your bubble guy, but those are RAF Harrier GR.7s in the video. Not USMC AV-8Bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on who you speak to, that incident is characterised as either superb flying, or downright dangerous flying! I can't make-up my mind as to which!
