joey45 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Close call. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Donut Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Wow, that could have been a lot worse. Thank goodness both pilots escaped without serious injury but I imagine a changing of underwear might be needed. We see the pilot in the video raise the canopy and signal that he is having engine trouble but it looks like the other aircraft started rolling just as he did that. I am surprised that the aircraft would be set up to take off like that in a trailing formation considering that they have conventional landing gear and therefore, limited forward visibility. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT"

_Randolph93 Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 He should of have yelled through the radio to ABORT TAKEOFF! But it looks like it would have been too late anyway.. .
