F104 doing touch and roll ?
 

Found this video of F-104 doing touch and roll :eek: At first I thought it was a RC 104.

Wow, gutsy move,, I like the stunned looks on some of the other pilots faces,,

Edit: They banned it after a different pilot was killed doing it. :(

Lieutenant Colonel William "Bill" Ongena was an Belgian Air Force pilot and flew on F-104G starfighter. "Bill" Ongena was one of the few and the first to be able to perform a "Touch-Roll-Touch" in a F-104G. A maneuver deemed impossible even amongst F-104 test-pilots. Lieutenant Colonel Ongena unfortunately died in a car accident near Bierbeek after his active career in the Belgian Air Force.

What was the purpose of the maneuver ??

Vin .
Most likely it started in the O club with "Hold my BEER and Watch This.......

LMAO :cool:

Thats funny! Some serious cojones on that pilot!

Just have a look at this page, unfortunately in french :

It is about the belgian F104 aerobatic team The Slivers : the same thing but 2 at the same time, one from the left and one from the right above the runway !

I saw them when I was leaving in Belgium, at that time.

Enjoy !

My boy takes off his Habu edf the same way, I away wanted to try it but I like my jets to much
