Flying an S211 fighter Jet over Melbourne
Stephen Gale of jetworksaviation.com.au asked if i would like to go in his Marchetti S211 while he practiced some aerobatics for an air show next year. He told me it wouldn't be very comfortable. Both wearing out Bremont Martin-Baker watches and sitting in Mk19 Martin-Baker Ejection seats, we experienced up to 4G and i even got to fly it for several minutes myself! Truely the most insane thing i have ever experienced. Thank you Steve

You lost your driving license by overspeeding. Now you end up on a plane. That's quite interesting life to have. ❤️
Very sad news about Stephens tragic end yesterday. Great guy and great pilot. Rip.

Very amazing guy, miss chewing the fat at the hanger. Hope youre coping ok mate @petersilk
So,awesome thanks for sharing. I see this plane fly out of Essendon on most days living under the flight path. Great footage
Sadly, this jet crashed into Port Phillip Bay following a collision. The pilot, Stephen Gale, and his passenger, a cameraman, died. The other aircraft managed to return to Essendon.

Of course this was not during the filming of this video, but the exact same jet and pilot were lost.
Will do this one day myself.
This may be a bit pedantic, but S211 was never a fighter jet, but a military trainer. The media has been calling it a fighter jet, which calls into question the accuracy of their reporting.

The media? accuracy reporting? That's what they call an oxymoron 🙄🙄
Did you end up losing your license? How long did you lose it for.?
