You guys are funny…
*Autofarting at 550.
550 of anything is fast. Unless that Soviet battle group is 100000000 somethings away.
For comparison. 550 km/h is about the time I consider lowering my landing gear in most jets.
That was an Tarantal class Corvette.
In the Viggen as well…
Now, why would anyone be cruising around on fartkontroll? It’s used for landing!
I’d guess if you have bowel problems some control would be nice?
Not a problem in the Viggen as it is a single seater with a very effective aircondition pack…
I was loitering for join-up, then we pushed towards the enemy and I kept it on just to make form easier. Probably not the most fuel efficient cruising speed (or altitude)! Either way, we made it and more importantly, some of our RB-15s made it.
229th White flight(Snark and Sleipner) maintain a vigilent watch over the approach to LZ Alpha and Bravo after bravely clearing it! Multi-ops night with a few different squads and a lot of helicopters!
There be a video, I am preacher 2 and the video was taken by Preacher 1 @Freak was Preacher 4
Absolutely outstanding video of teamwork and skill!
Very nice! Love to see missions like this!
My first landing in the Harrier, good job I jettisoned the fuel pods first or it may have been nasty
Nailed it.
