Ah, as they say. That-s Hollywood! Ah, the closest I got to flying was flying gliders, Schweitzer. I LOVED it, I was practicing my maneuvers, getting ready for my solo but unfortunately it never happened (my regret) having a little one and not having free enough time changes ones directions. Oh boy would I love to go up in a fighter jet but again probably would never happen. ( but I still want to ) I remember bugging my instructor to get us in a dive. Schweitzer? A dive? Well, we did. I believe it was a spiral dive. I wanted to learn how to get out of it. Wow loved it. After we got out he let me have the controls back. I pulled up so quickly even he was surprised. Now I know what facial distortion kinda feels like ha. 20m 20 hind sight if only I knew back then how much I-ve learned since I would have LOVED to learn flying. I remember a contest we did (for landing accuracy) with members in our small club. I got first place. A piece of note book paper. That made my day. Hey, thanks for your critique, it was fun, funny.

Per Wikipedia:
-Coffin corner (also known as the aerodynamic ceiling or Q corner) is the region of flight where a fast but subsonic fixed-wing aircraft's stall speed is near the critical Mach number, at a given gross weight and G-force loading. In this region of flight, it is very difficult to keep an airplane in stable flight. Because the stall speed is the minimum speed required to maintain level flight, any reduction in speed will cause the airplane to stall and lose altitude. Because the critical Mach number is the maximum speed at which air can travel over the wings without losing lift due to flow separation and shock waves, any increase in speed will cause the airplane to lose lift, or to pitch heavily nose-down, and lose altitude. -

Great video and informative but never underestimate real life. 1968 an RAF Hunter pilot objecting to RAF finance cuts flew between the spans and under the bridge of Tower Bridge in London to object. His tail probably missed the span by feet but skilled pilots (unauthorised) can perform stunts that nowadays would never happen. Well actually even then the pilot was quietly retired but my point is a lot more things are possibke than are permitted.

Hi, What about a jump jet turning the thurseter forwards to slow the plane down. Like I watched a documentary on the Jump Jet. And the test pilot was flying with another test pilot. When he was infront of the other Jump Jet and he did that maneuver. And the other pilot thought his plane was faulty. But was told what he did over the radio.

Holly Hunter did a great job voice acting that scene in Incredibles, her tangible sense of parental panic when her children are being threatened was so well portrayed. She's trying to remain calm and professional but someone is going to kill her babies and she's on the ragged edge of losing it. So well done.

Very interesting and she is an experienced mine field of information.
The snag I can see is the Dunkirk scene and flare, I haven-t read or scene British pilots of that era having tinted visors or goggles. So yes the modern helmet does but her argument there is flawed.

The incredibles jet would have gone into a compressor stall and flamed out long before it some how managed to out fly surface to air missles, but it was a kids movie which I enjoyed, some things must be forgiven for the sake of the characters; JMO.

Big respect for Christine. I've tried -a little bit of aviation- (sailplanes. Aviation is very demanding thing, it's not for everyone. Therefore I have big respect for her and I have had at least some minimal glimpse into it.

In all fairness, Snug, Helen Parr's friend is also an engineer who modifies civie planes to perform like military planes. As his conversation with Parr on the phone, telling her he has the right plane for her situation.
