Flying a Fighter Jet Over 500mph Just 250ft Above the Ground! | Fighter Pilot: The Real Top Gun
Ойын-сауық
Student Pilot Danners the school's only female student. She's sent out on a sortie to learn how to handle the jet at dangerous low heights and make it to a target on time. She is given a target that she’ll have to fly over exactly on time, with only a five-second margin of error. To make it there she’ll be flying at 500mph just 250ft from the ground - a height that is littered with hazards Danners will have to work hard to avoid. Watch now on ITV Hub: bit.ly/2Z6jPgp

I am ex dark blue , flew Seakings, Jet-streams and Canberras , and I consider her better than I ever was . I could feel my own stress ( recently retired after 43 years flying ) just watching this. Time for a pina colada on the beach to debrief. Well done that pilot !
She is a legend, just dead jealous as it must be been such a buzz. Then again she made it look easy which it's far from. Good for you Danners!!

Legend - no. Just a trainee pilot who wasn't selected for fast jets first time round.

I wonder how old she is because I thought the maximum age to apply for a pilot is 26 and it sounds like she’s got a lot of experience

Probably different requirements for someone who’s already a pilot and changing aircraft types

Falklands War (1982): Argentinean pilots flying EVERY DAY at 16 feet and 559 miles. Evading waves, sea salt stuck on the front of the cockpit (due to flying so LOW). Daily South Atlantic bad weather. Joining the danger zone with only 2 minutes over the target due to limited fuel. No radar, HUD display, early warning systems or self deffense weapons, just old 30mm neumatic cannons that usually got stuck due to the cold weather. Evading Harriers, Sidewinders missiles and the most advanced Destroyers and Frigates antircraft defense systems. A massive technological difference between both sides, but flying jets like riding a wild horse with pure instinct and balls! Results: Effectively delivering their "presents" over the British fleet. Damaging and SINKING ships (30% of the total British Task Force). There is enough material for MANY Hollywood movies. Those PIlots are the REAL Top Guns. Anyways, nice recruiting advertisement :)

She's one hell of a " DORIS", gud on ya lady
back in the day you did this with a map and a watch at 450 kts
I was nervous for her.
I wanted to join the Fleet Air Arm (love Harriers) back in the mid-1990s. What put me off was I shared a house with two girls; one of them had a boyfriend who graduated a year earlier. We knew each other and he joined the Royal Navy and explained their application procedure. I thought "f*ck that, I'm never getting in" so I didn't bothered applying. I couldn't apply elsewhere because I only ever wanted to do one thing so I wouldn't have been satisfied.

failed part one of the selection procedure - he who dares wins and he who hesitates loses. That may have saved your life

In the Middle East countries women aren’t allowed to drive cars but in places like the US and UK our women get to fly fighter jets

Unfortunately, I will disagree with you, as before only 1 country was, even they are flying the commercial plane. Have you been actually to Middle East?
