This is an amazing clip of my favourite big jet - the Special Performance version of the 747. Shot at the MCAS Miramar air show this year, it shows several passes of the jet in clean config getting lower and lower. Given that it has no high lift devices deployed, I presume its travelling at at least 200kt?
Beautifull! An impressive aircraft. He seems to keep the bank angle AND fly straight with a good rudder imput....great for the crowd!
Having just watched it again, I think they were shallow turning passes, so ignore my previous! Still a beautiful aircraft though!
And here's what you get when you stretch the 747SP....another graceful display by this icon of the sky
The last part is amazing Max, the 747 SP goes amazingly close to the ground. Some seat if your pants action there if ever i saw it!
