Just to pile on to the other commenters about the fact that it can be a 1 G maneuver, here’s a pretty clear demonstration of that. Watch this clip fully inspired by the piloting of Bob Hoover.

“Got yer nose!”

Someone more knowledgeable correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe they are IFF (Identification Friend-or-Foe) antennae.

Me, too. Had a ‘76. Was that gold color but had faded on top to a silver, so it was a nice gold/silver two-tone. Took it to Earl Scheib for a $99 orange-peel black paint job and enjoyed the hell out of that car for the last two years of high school, until.... Approaching the NY State Thruway tolls, ran over a truck…

Dude, pretty sure that’s a Lamb-OH MY GOD! WHAT HAVE I JUST SEEN! MY EYES! MY EYES ARE MELTING! GAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Is it me, or does it seem like there’s no way in hell that the Baltic Ace could carry 1,417 cars. I’m not doubting the number, it just doesn’t look like the ship is even remotely big enough. Mind boggling, I say, mind boggling!

Admittedly snarky and unnecessary. Hope it helps, regardless.

Y’hud?

Sure looks that way, doesn’t it? But then it doesn’t move at all. Weird. (“I see dead ground handlers.”)

“...the comparison gives a great sense of just how huge these two aircraft were.” Or, how small the A4 is/was. That thing is tiny relative to most other of its ilk.

I can feel the brain cells disappearing...

Clearly this video is not a complete recording of the full process; it’s obviously been edited. For one, I didn’t see any usage of this:

Very cool shots. Any idea what those features are underneath the root of each wing?

Be sure to hit Tony’s Bada Bing in Tipp City. Say hi to Millie and Lori from the Mystery Trip guys.

Flipped the lid on the air filter cover.

Eyewitness reports confirm that at the time of the accident, the driver was a man’s name that some may have recognized as one “Leeroy Jenkins.” Mr. Jenkins could not be reached for comment.
