MiG-29 crash on take off
Do you know what happens to pilots who try to impress the camera crew,
waiting half way the runway for a spectacular take-off shot ? Well, look for yourself at http://www.dappa.nl/crash.htm. Don't worry about any blood stains or casualties, there is only going to be material damage and a pilot with a severely brused ego. For those who are interested, we are collecting aviation mishap, accident and crash video footage for personal use. If you have another video clip for us, or if you can point us in the right direction on where to find it, we would appreciate to hear from you. Our address is . Aviation minded greetings, Iwan |

Hi Dave,
It seems to me that he just climbed out, as you can see the opened canopy at the end (not blown off by the ejection). Funny video though.... Cheers, Iwan "Dave Kearton" schreef in bericht ...

Pilots avoid taking the "Magic Ride" due potential for compression injuries to their back. This observation based on my ~ 40 years FD/CFR/ARFF experience.

I wouldn't wish a non-essential ejection upon anybody. Classic story was told on this newsgroup a few months ago, my apologies to the original poster who saw it happen and could explain it better that I. Apparently after the Farnborough crash, where one MiG 29 collided with another during a spectacular display, both ejected and left their aircraft, relatively unharmed. When rescue crews reached the pilots, who had landed fairly close together, the 'innocent' pilot was seen to be beating the living suitcase out of the 'guilty' pilot. "aaah Comrade, let me help you with your dental plan..." Wish I was there. I have no idea what a professional FD/CFR/ARFF person does at work, I'm sure that it's important. ;-) Cheers Dave Kearton |

Neither does any of the footage show them 'beating the living suitcase' out of each other. Urban myth? John |

Wasn't this the crash where one of the pilots was up on his feet and lighting up a fag before the safety crews were anywhere near him? or was that a different Russian display, er, mishap. -- James... www.jameshart.co.uk |

Very similar incident occurred during VF-211 (IIRC, might have been 24) gun
det in El Centro many years ago. F-8J, low transition, and a not quite enough airspeed prior to gear retraction. At least no video evidence for posterity. R / John "Iwan Bogels" wrote in message ...
