The pilot in the firebird says it all really! I can understand his point of view as looking back on it some of the passes today scared me a little
One of the euro at the end of one of Achmeds high alpha passes. A few times he had it below eye level full power and at a 50 deg angle while blowing sand from the runway!!!
That was nothing as on one of the last flights of the day Osama was putting it through a high G routine which fell off the ball a little just in the wrong place. Mahmoud and I were sat in front of the trailer as it went out of view view fully stalled, and I thought that was the end of it. A second or so later we saw it re appear, full power nose super high with its tailpipe in the dirt, sand vortexing behind it and all the guys cheering. One of the best saves I have seen, and I would love to have had it on camera as it would be amazing to watch back. [X(][X(]
