does he change his/her mind on landing? It seems like the wheels start to go up, just as he goes past the camera?

Actually not, because if you are lucky enough you might get some amazing footage that goes viral

That section of the A15 is traffic light controlled precisely because of the proximity to the R/W 20 Threshold. Why do you think there is a fence there that denies sight of the Threshold?

What would happen if the jet lost a donk and went in short? What would happen if he had to throw the approach away and overshoot with 'burner?


But hey, 'amazing footage' and the fawning appreciation of a bunch of Herberts on the Internet trumps Flight Safety every time huh? I mean you obviously know better than Professional Aviators rolleyes

Do you also run red lights at level crossings?

Flight Safety and Professional Aviator don't need a capital wink

Him being there wouldn't affect the jet - if he is going to pile in due to a problem or switch to burner then a car is unlikely to make any difference. He might think twice about roasting him with an afterburner though hehe

Love the way it looks like he gets the gear up and then pushes the nose down.

Old school piston engines.

As far as I'm aware they were filmed at a private airfield in California and all persons were there by invitation and I would hope aware of the dangers they were exposing themselves to and had worked out escape routes if necessary.
