mutley 4,487 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 How low and slow can you go! This month we would like to see low and slow fly-pasts with a high nose-up attitude. You've seen the thing at airshows, an F18 flying at an impossibly low speed with nose at 45%. Low and slow Airbus or Boeing or maybe a bi-plane upside down? No matter what so long as it is close to the ground and near stall speed. Good luck, the contest finishes at 23:59 BST March 31st 2011 Please check out the rules before posting.

simi_av8r 0 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 oooooh, this could get interesting. I have some ideas too...and since i always fly low-n-slow anyway, it's sure to be good fun too!!! Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Great shot Rosario, but I fear you need to go lower to win this one :th_smiles73: Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Ok How low can you go. Here are my opening shots, Airbus Display pilot overcooks the mighty A380 at Farnborough! Cobra!, The incredible Mig 29 doing what it does best! Not Russian around!! 25ft at 100kts,And at 250 tons the worlds biggest land based, prop driven aircraft!! Link to post Share on other sites
ShrewsburyFC 215 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Heres my 1st entry, F-16 and Apache Display Team: 2nd entry, Extra 300, extreme low pass: 3rd entry, Kawasaki T-4, practicing inverted low level flying. Good luck all! Shrews :001_th_smiles89: Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Ladies and Gentlemen, if anyone needs a haircut, now's the time. (I was just over 60 knots at the time. The Kodiak's stall speed, full flaps, is 59 knots). And another one. The beach goers are getting a good show. A wake up call for the entire hotel. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnar18 0 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 My first contribution this month will be the Cessna O-1/L-19 «Bird dog» This little aircraft is known for it's low and slow performance. I've seen it in action - using full flaps while flying at about 50 ft AGL. It was quite impressive. My #2 shot - the Surfing Cub ...and my last Link to post Share on other sites

SEATAC 400 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I left stats on the top of the screen so you can see that I flew this Tomcat as low and as slow as I could without crashing. 9.7ft above sea level and 115 knots. And my second entry is the Morane Saulnier. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 This was a very, very scary competition! Canberra, East Midlands, airfield height is 306ft AMSL Now, to scare the life out of Joe - Vulcan, Southampton, airfield height is 44ft And finally, the most scary one of all, a British Airways 707 crew decide 'How low can you gooo?' All shots are FS9. Add-on details are : JF/UK2000 - British Airports Sceneries - http://www.justflight.com/product.asp?pid=19# and http://www.justflight.com/product.asp?pid=21 (I think) JF/PSS - RAF Vulcan (with UKMIL repaint) - http://www.justflight.com/product.asp?pid=310 Flying Stations - Canberra B2 - http://www.flyingstations.com/ Captain Sim - Legendary 707 - http://www.captainsim.com/products/b707/ Link to post Share on other sites

ddavid 149 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Is this what you mean? I guess I'm at zero feet AGL, definitely close to stall speed - and look at that tail dragging! Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
mike H 456 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 pic2 fs9. After spending all week Chasing Hurricanes at 29,000ft. The crew thought they would have ago at flying Low and Slow. Counting Pylons instead Link to post Share on other sites
jankees 917 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I may come with some shots later, but meanwhile, watch Love the last one... Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I may come with some shots later, but meanwhile, watch Love the last one... Brilliant!

mike H 456 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Nice set of videos jankees :icon_thumbup: The nearest I have come to experiencing low flying was sitting next to the pilot in a Jet-ranger (helo) flying at about 50 feet over water at over 100 mph. Just Awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
pacinka 0 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Ahhh, I can finally show my true flying style... Good luck to all! 1. I was surprised I could actually do this! (I used the PMDG 747 for maximum realism.) 2. The engines seemed slightly dirty... 3. I went off the runway and burned the grass, but at least I survived! Link to post Share on other sites
