Week on the Web (1-7 September)

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0) |

So many questions arise from a video on the Flight Blog about a low flying fighter jet flying over a man who doesn't seem at all bothered and gives a thumbs up. It can't be real. Can it?

He remains on his feet despite the jet blast. Some say the aircraft's a Mirage, others say a Harrier, and a Super Hornet is another suggestion. Let us know your thoughts.

A Handley Page Victor bomber aptly nicknamed "Teasin' Tina" gave shocked onlookers more than they bargained for when it accidently took off during the Cold War Jets day at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome.

The Cold War bomber apparently took off as the co-pilot (who was an engineer and not a pilot, cue the "engineers can never be pilots" jokes) accidently hit the throttle when the aircraft was meant to just taxi down the runway for a photo shoot. See footage of the takeoff.

The Flightglobal Image Store launched last week features thousands of historical and modern images, including our extensive technical cutaway drawings with options for potential shoppers to purchase images in their preferred format and style, whether it's on canvas, framed or even as a jigsaw.

Don't forget to follow Stefan on Twitter... He's going to be busy over the next few months. Why not guess where he is from the clues he tweets on his travels. Use the hash tag #wheresstefan and tell him which event he's at and in which city and you could win yourself a limited edition Stefan t-shirt.
