I doubt it was 'safe'.

Guys, this photo above and those videos:

and

 

are not the same event :smilewink: which makes me think it was a trained crowd teaser...BTW the crowd was applauding which means that the "control problems" were announced or even entire pilot-tower comms from the link were aired thru PA...

 

Now why I doubt it, there's no such building SW of Zhukovsky airstrip as the one seen in the photo...

 

Edit:

Left taller building, I simply don't remember it...plus you'd see a lots of aircraft parked at the other side of runway...

I do think that was a normal landing, I was looking at the video you posted Topol and I do not think is even close to be similar, just IMHO. I just wander what is the moment of inertia on the left main tire when it hit the ground? I wonder how heavy was the aircraft when it landed? I think at the least, they had to change the tire and check the left axle, or maybe even the right to make you it did not get bent. Now if Bob Hoover was flying, then I would consider it a normal landing :joystick:.

Nice low formation flying of UH-1Ds. Don't know if it was posted here... If yes - sorry. Nice music but pitty there is no real video sound.

Great, now if there was a link...;)

:lol: I just froze on mvsgas' video and forgot to post mine. Incredible mvsgas! :thumbup:

I regognized the same!

One afterburner is missing just after the minimum speed pass

I have a photo on which you can see the "normal" smoke on the left engine and the afterburner on the right engine a few minutes later you only see the right after burner for the rest of the program (saturday only, friday 19th both were on)

erm here:

 

 

Perhaps one of you guys have a better pic on which you can see the heat blur, I wonder if this pilot (Ruet IIRC)indeed finished this display with just one engine workin?

That landing was not safe, never!

[Teknetinium]

This claims to be 'safe' landing during MAKS.

 

Here's a video of it-

 

Rather a idiot pilot, Idiot decision from higher command to land like this, or failure, I say IDIOT.

Well the guy recovered the plane...and those demo flight birds usually scramble on bingo fuel which in case of emergency landing reduces the odds of reaching alternate landing strip.;)

[51GRIZZLY]

Your Photo sensor/objective needs cleaning :smilewink:

[Vekkinho]

Perhaps it's a dead engine debris...LOL! I've seen Croatian Fishbeds losing rivets during forced turns...

Slide-show of the same near-mishap landing.

Landing on one side is a well-known crosswind technique. However, this one seems quite excessive :)

 

Here's some examples:

It's very bad photograph, but what's happened with Rafale?

 

 

[RvETito]

Fuel economy? :D

[4c Hajduk Veljko]

I assume engines do not engage/disengage in afterburner exactly at the same time.There might be a second or so delay.

Correct.. Eurofighter does the exact same thing.

[Vekkinho]

And most other planes that have 2 engines and split throttle

[GGTharos]

It has nothing to do with a split throttle - it's just the electronic controller scheduling the afterburner ignition such that it won't blow out or stall the engine.

[Vekkinho]

Rafale was in a right hand forced turn as I can tell from the pics, you may also notice that the left engine wasn't running AB which makes me think that it's power was automatically reduced by some onboard Flickus to compensate for the nose dip during turn...this way right hand engine creates asymetric thrust and keeps the nose from diving under horizon.

 

Could my theory work with Rafale?!

I don't think so: (at 0:28min)

 

sorry my camera isn't the best :noexpression:

I dont know why but that bird is sexy :D

From a recent visit. Thought I'd try something a bit different.
