[@michealpallett5708]

I slaute you for great display what skills

[@raidazz1]

These dudes are ice cold! Great vid!

[@waterattack]

Brilliant video!! Thanks!!

[@abudabi2222]

Great Flying well done!

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

When you need your MRE's to be speedball dropped on your OP by a cargo plane that could dogfight a P-51 while weighing as much as a Bradley

[@andresgarcia-sl4ez]

Excelente avión, por eso los EEUU están interesados en incorporar a sus plataformas aéreas al Spartan. Que duda cabe que esta nave aporta logística en cualquier país y en cualquier terreno.

[@walterF205]

Pecado que el deseo de los generales del ejército americano bien fundado de las óptimas prestaciones probadas en Afganistan ha sido mortificado por el balance financiero de los EEUU, avión destinado a la reserva en el desierto del Mojave. Qué derroche. Perlas a los cerdos.

If I won that big lottery prize....forget Gulfstream's, Pilatus, exec jets.....I want one of these as my mobile home!! 😊

[@poppetrurazvan3900]

i am worried abou the wing ticckness.

[@poppetrurazvan3900]

combine this obtaining a lot of thrust. gravity earths crust in flight air dinamics and space ultrasound emanation te most important propeller sound and dinamic=equal thrust even antigravitational levitation=trhrust=fuel eficiecy. best regards. for papa my papa only...

[@poppetrurazvan3900]

Ultrasound air friction earths crust emanation cristall heat generator baterry passive screening= emanation= shield.Do not forget the ballistic chute. 😕

Acrobatic maneuvers on the edge of stall over the city with transport aircraft? Uffff... I think they are foolish.

[@visualegon]

Antrax I have no doubt about skills of Italian engineers nor planes. They are top class. I have no doubt about crew. They are pros, we can see that. But in my opinion organizer of this show is stupid. These machines are flying on the edge of its abilities. One mistake, bird strike, technical fault and you are on the roof of the family house. I can not imagine an airshow over the city anywhere in Europe. For example at NATO Days in Ostrava Czech Republic, display flying over populated areas is prohibited. Maybe they are flying like that in Roma over Terme di Diocleziano but I did not see there not an Extra 300.

[@flanker0ne]

For sure there is a lack of urbanistic legislation on those African cities. If a plane, with his configuration of weights, is able to do those maneuvers, that means that exist an abbundacy of engines power. In the evenience of an engine failure, for sure, there is enough thrust to recover from a dangerous attitude.

[@Noname-xi7xi]

@@visualegon Yes, I see your point and mostly agree, Ramstein has taught some lessons, hopefully. The plane is amazing, coming from the earlier version the G222 which was also outstanding and the crew is the best of the best, coming from the 311Gr. Repearto Sperimentale but, as you correctly stated, anything could go wrong at any given time and probably there would little margin to improvvise. In Europe in general and Italy in particular, safety is a major concern and sometimes it is so tight that the whole display looses some of its magic; I can assure you that over Rome, that kind of stunt, would have been impossible.

[@7maccas]

Those fools didnt do any walkaround checks before getting in and taking off!!!

[@albertoarcudi8431]

Invidia

[@MichaelOZimmermannJCDECS]

7maccas YOU are the fool here ;-) those pilots value their own life, therefore have checked the plane before take-off.

[@Noname-xi7xi]

How do you know if a walk around has been performed, the video has several cuts for obvious reasons.

[@sudmudmud357]

@@Noname-xi7xi they do all that before flying... it not like getting into your car and going to the supermarket... they are idiots just to fly without checking

[@Noname-xi7xi]

@@sudmudmud357 How do you know they haven't checked, how do you know if they had done it prior in the morning? You are the tipical armchair warrior who has no clue of what's happenning around him but is always ready to judge and preach on things he has never done or seen. These idiots are test pilots who fly around the world to perform and demonstrate the capaibility of a specific aircraft, they are able to fly in different enviroinments and are challenged on a daily basis with things you probably can't even immagine. They might not be perfect as human beeings since none of us are, included you but I'm quite sure they know their buisness, they know what their doing and are pretty good at it too. Why don't you bitch and whine about aerobatics display teams then, they too don't do a walkaround before their display, are they idiots, incompetent pilots or what? Now please, just go back to your PS and stick to what you normaly do, whatever it might be that you do in your mom's basement.
