Olham 164 Posted January 15, 2011 Good old "Phantom" - some find her ugly, but I like that craft. On the ILA 2005 in Berlin, the Sukhoi Flanker performed the "Cobra/Z Maneuver" and the Eurofighter pilot let his craft fall uncontrolled from the sky, until he suddenly powered up the engines and rushed off - all of which the Phantom could not do. But the two guys did what the old lady COULD do - they came in flat, and then they zoomed up in a very steep angle on her two engine flames with afterburners on. A roaring thunder - like a goodbye show of an old 50s design, that has served long and successfully. Quote
