There could be others, but I know the Harrier had that and the speed was about right for them). He was pretty high, probably in the 1000' or so AGL. Very few of the ridges were above him, which means he was still visible to any radar threat looking at him. Which probably means that his Sq Co knew the photographer was going to be in the back seat and warned the pilot not to commit any "sins" on film.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-67311877329172394502014-05-03T19:40:02.016-07:002014-05-03T19:40:02.016-07:00Yep, I'm pretty sure the push over as they cre...Yep, I'm pretty sure the push over as they crested the ridge, took care of any weight problems they might have had.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-60961810437363537912014-05-03T15:23:35.331-07:002014-05-03T15:23:35.331-07:00I would think so!I would think so!OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-79957743801554776902014-05-03T15:17:21.621-07:002014-05-03T15:17:21.621-07:00Low and fast is always exciting!
