Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 LOTTSA Rudder trim on. It also goes to show you could likely make a brick fly with enough engine!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Does anyone know if this is real? It looks fake and photoshopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 The F15 actually generates roughly 25% of it's lift in the fuselage, so yeah, they have flown after losing a wing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC Hey, let's not go bad-mouthing the F-4! That airplane flew with brute strength and awkwardness, but extremely fast. Brought my ass home several times.

They can not glide they lose 1 foot elevation for every 1 foot forward with out engines . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeaconKC Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Whereas the F104 Starfighter would just be a lawn dart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to call the F-16 that as well, it seems the power would cut out about the time it went wheels up and had to have the nav gyro's re-initialized. That was the earlier 704 power std, when they switched to 704d it stabilized, iirc. SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
