EADS Bf109G4 crashed yesterday

Listen to the engine after the first turn, a hair raising experience indeed, given the low alt the pilot is flying at. He landed it on the belly, wheels up, to minimize the damage.

No news about pilot's health, but looking at the photos, it doesn't seem he got injured as the aircraft is mostly intact. Hope his back is as new as well.

LOL,

looks like the typical Clod belly landing.

Btw, what made you pick engadin as your username?

Visited the valley some 8 years ago, loved it, learned the name, sound good to me for a nickname and here we are :)

Wooden propeller? That would help save the engine.

They just need to find out what porked it to cause the failure.

Sweet Supermarine. I usually don't see these so it's a rare treat to me.

~S & Enjoy!

The only airworthy Shack...

.. at the SAAF's museum does it's regular ground run.
My camera audio is not that good.. but those engines, when they synchronised, made the ground under my feet shake - what a buzz it was.. 50m from that thing at full tilt.
This is a small sample of 15 minutes or so at max...!!??
Propellerheads.. enjoy with loud speakers

Life inside a P-63

I know we can all search youtube but I thought this was cool because its rare, a different feeling than other warbirds, enjoy the whine of the gearbox and driveshaft.

Not anymore unfortunately. :(

Date: 10-JUL-2003
Time: 1310
Type: CASA 2.111
Owner/operator: American Airpower Heritage Flying Museum
Registration: N72615
C/n / msn: T8-B-124
Fatalities: Fatalities: 2 / Occupants: 2
Other fatalities: 0
Airplane damage: Written off (damaged beyond repair)
Location: 2 miles SE of Cheyenne airport, WY. - United States of America
Phase: Approach
Nature: Ferry/positioning
Departure airport: Midland, TX (MAF)
Destination airport: Missoula, MT (MSO)
Narrative:
The airplane, a Spanish-built version of the WW2 Heinkel 111 bomber, was en route to an air show and was making a refueling stop at Cheyenne. The tower controller cleared the pilot to land.
The airplane was observed on a 3-mile straight-in final approach when it began a left turn. The controller asked the pilot what his intentions were. The pilot replied, "We just lost our left engine."
The pilot then reported that he wasn't going to make it to the airport. Witnesses observed the airplane flying "low to the ground and under-speed for [a] good 4 minutes."
The right propeller was turning, but the left propeller was not .
There was no fire or smoke coming from the left engine.
The pilot was "obviously trying to pull up.
" The airplane "dipped hard left," then struck the ground left wing first.
It slid through a chain link fence, struck a parked automobile, and collided with a school bus wash barn.
The ensuing fire destroyed the airplane, parked car, and wash barn. Disassembly and examination of both engines disclosed no anomalies that would have been causal or contributory to the accident.
According to the Airplane Flight Manual, "Maximum power will probably be required to maintain flight with one engine inoperative.
Maximum power at slow air speed may cause loss of directional control."

CAUSE: A loss of engine power for reasons undetermined, and the pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control.
Contributing factors were the unsuitable terrain on which to make a forced landing, low airspeed, the fence, automobile, and the school bus wash barn.

Il2M3 and 190A5 flying "in cockpit" video

Not sure if this has been posted already since video is a couple of years old and I haven't been around for awhile. Havent seen an in cockpit video in 190 before.

A lovely & unique restoration by BHHH, given that MJ755 is a very original airframe and still has many of those original parts and skins

The MJ755 looks fantastic. In my opinion, it is definitely one of the most beautiful planes ever made.

Let's Fly a 4.15m Mission

Nice!

Gotta love speed and explosive firepower! :cool:

I agree wholeheartedly. It's a worrying trend, the over-reliance on automation. I remember struggling with stall recovery in flight school and the instructor emphasized feeling the aircraft. Now, it seems like that crucial hands-on understanding is fading. Makes you wonder what else is being compromised in the name of efficiency. If you want something that might bring the joy back to flying, I've heard Crazy Cattle 3d gives a good, simplified but fun experience. Maybe worth a look.
