RE: Visiting Manaus - FigueiraJet 2011
about the freedom I mentioned before, there where only 5 thropies..Most flights, Shortest landing,Lowest pass, Most radical flight and biggest bag all decided from the pilots vote.
The biggest bag thropy was won by this Bae Hawk: Turbine quit while doing a low inverted pass and the plane stalled while trying to reach some place to land. This was the only crash of the event, even if the jet flying was non stop.
Interesting to mention that this was one of the only two turbine runs wich resulted in a flameout, considering the extremely hot and humid conditions! By the way, the turbine in the Hawk was a old Modellbau USA 750.
