That's like 50 mill down the drain.

happened to me on BF2 about an hour ago! :P

No, the harrier had a problem with the vertical thrust... it put a column of hot air straight down, and then the same hot air would be sucked back into the intakes, making it harder to maintain the same level of thrust... I probably explained it wrong.. I just remembered it from the NOVA video on public TV about the new JSF having to use measures to prevent the same thing happening to it...

or else it might have been one of these: http://www.pulitzer.org/year/2003/national-reporting/works/national1.html

useless show-off 40 year old English planes, ditch them all!

pre (guest) - October 3, 2006, 22:22

English plane? what other kind of plane is there?

Deleted0001 - October 4, 2006, 23:07

Shit! What if that had happened just some meters closer to the bathers...

NO COOL

Vilxan (guest) - October 11, 2006, 20:35

I like it how the pilot landed on top of the plane!

Guest (guest) - October 15, 2006, 00:31

Think this is the one from lowersoft air show couple of years back, looks very similar!

mbandgeek - October 17, 2006, 22:36

last day as a pilot or first? Maybe both?

Everyone knows Harriers can"t hover well too close to water.Thats what happens when you don't know your Aircraft.

shit it happens

Lowestoft guy (guest) - December 30, 2006, 17:46

i was there when this happened, it was at an air show in lowestoft. i think the pilot broke both his ankles

"In August, an RAF Harrier slammed into the sea as the pilot parachuted to safety in front of thousands of spectators at a Suffolk air show. The cause of the crash is under investigation." this is directly from the link that arleas posted. I dunno if lowestoft and suffolk are the same or if it happened more than once... lol

I actually saw this in real life. And the main reason it happend was that he was running out of fuel. So snootsnoot, the water had nothing to do with it.
