Default plane under bridge video again....

I'd seen this about a year ago as I'm sure many here have, but it never ceases to amaze me. So for the cameo......

That video always amazes me. It looks to me like the pilot came real close to taking his vertical stabilizer off on the wall that is after the bridge (if you watch the video you will see what I'm talking about.) Looks like he should have pushed the stick forward a little sooner and he wouldn't have come so close.....easy for me to say. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I was watching the new the other day and they showed this one air race. It's somewhere in Europe somewhere and they fly really low along the water between two pylons and under bridges. Anyone see that?

I think it's like Czech or something. I read about the race in Avweb. Some Americans were competing. They start the race by flying under the bridge, run pylons in front of some gov't building and then end up back under the bridge. It's like some holiday celebration or something.

Yeah that sounds more like it. On the news station I was watching they were showing pictures of planes flying through these inflatable plyons right above this river. It looked really cool.

Correction. It was in Hungary. It was either in the ANN newsletter or the AvWeb newsletter I got today.
