campi Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 During an airshow at the waterfestival 1992 in Swedish Capital Stockholm. In front of the eyes at over 300 000people. This HAPPENED... Thank the Lord almighty...... Nobody died Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediteo Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I've seen that video before. Didn't that pilot plow another one into the ground?, or maybe that was the test pilot earlier. The old news on TV4 certainly raises some memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klinger Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Was that a flight control computer glitch? That 'cobra' manouvre is way out of the envelope for a Gripen. Glad no one was hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted August 2, 2008 2. Administrators Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Looks like it Kling, there should be no way for the pilot to input a manouvre (sp?) like that. I've got some footage somewhere of the Gripen crash during testing (although I'm not about to post it), but that was down to pilot error on landing (I think) - he got away with it too... ~S~ Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
