Koldkillr Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Okay so back in the 1990's my father took me to a airshow at the Santa Fe New Mexico airport. At this wonderful little airshow first we saw a two ship f-14 flight take off they caught the runway on fire that was pretty cool; however, we saw the coolest thing we ever saw. The announcer got real quit and said listen to the sound of the avenger cannon this was great but then the planes did something i thought impossible they were flying straight and level then did a rudder turn stayed almost flat and were flying backward for a short time then whipped around and flew straight again. has anyone ever seen anything like this? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] There is no kill but overkill.
Aginor Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 No. Perhaps an optical illusion by flying some weird maneuver, I can't imagine what kind of maneuver though. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
Koldkillr Posted September 6, 2015 Author Posted September 6, 2015 Something like ? Kind of they did not do the 360 as fast but they did do a rudder turn and fly to almost stall then swung around and flew straight. the announcer said something about the dual rudder allowing them to do this. I calld my dad and brother to see if they remembered it and they did so I know I'm not crazy just never saw anything like it before or since. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] There is no kill but overkill.
Gliptal Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I've seen a C27J do a 90° only on rudders (that plane is freaking amazing), but a full 180° on the A10 I'm sure violates some rules of physics.
kolga Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Something like ? I believe that is a spin and an optical illusion caused by the camera aircraft's movement. :) "Long life It is a waste not to notice that it is not noticed that it is milk in the title."

kolga Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 P.S. Shouldn't this be in the f-14 section? "Long life It is a waste not to notice that it is not noticed that it is milk in the title."

Koldkillr Posted September 11, 2015 Author Posted September 11, 2015 P.S. Shouldn't this be in the f-14 section? no b/c its about a a-10 doing a maneuver [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] There is no kill but overkill.
Harzach Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I still don't fully understand the maneuver you are describing. Particularly the "flying backward" part.
Koldkillr Posted September 11, 2015 Author Posted September 11, 2015 the a-10's were flying straing and level then they went into a slight dive they did turn using rudders until they were facing the opposite direction they were just flying however the movement was still going in the direction they were initially flying. aka flying backward [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] There is no kill but overkill.
kolga Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 no b/c its about a a-10 doing a maneuver Oh, sorry, i got confused by f-14 part :doh: "Long life It is a waste not to notice that it is not noticed that it is milk in the title."

Gliptal Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Basically a 180 degrees sideslip? IDK, are you sure you're remembering correctly?
=4c=Nikola Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 That's not possible. Do not expect fairness. The times of chivalry and fair competition are long gone.
Zabuzard Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Maybe the camera was held 90° in the wrong direction (:D) and they flew straight up, heavy rudder and fell down again. You can find this maneuver under the term Hammerhead or Stall Turn:
Evil.Bonsai Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 More than likely it just appeared that way from your angle. Tail turned and pointed at YOU made it look like it was pointed AWAY from you (thus the backwards part)
