ITALIAN C27 SPARTAN BEING FLOWN LIKE A FIGHTER JET AT RIAT 2022 4K

Forget The fast jets!! The Pilot of this C27 Spartan from the Italian Air Force has no perception of gravity. This is one display I never miss on my annual visit to The royal International Air Tattoo. As if going inverted several times during the display then watch the Landing and imagine being on board.

[@emmeXXtreme]

"you can't fly a c27 like a fighter jet" some italian Pilot: hold my Chianti

[@MrJpbmusic2005]

Italians always put on a great display every year....especially the RSV probably the only time we'll get to see a flying Tornado in the display

[@acward2007]

Great filming. Wow, impressive flying but testament to how strong the airframe is and how powerful those engines are.

[@viper29ca]

Engines are the same that are on the C130s.

[@viper29ca]

@@autogyro333 Clearly in a military role, it wouldn't be doing too many loops and rolls, so that assessment is pretty much false.

[@kerbalairforce8802]

The stress on this empty plane flying like this is far less than the stress of flying it normally with a full cargo load

[@scipio10000]

Why the surpsrise? It was originally designed by the same guy who designed the G55 fighter plane. ;-)

[@gdwlaw5549]

Crap pilot I guess

[@f22aerialimages77]

My favourite display of the event. Unbelievable manoeuvres in such an airframe. Respect to the pilot... And any passengers!

[@mark261166]

How could anybody not be impressed with that. Great video.

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thank you.

[@walterF205]

Always a big pleasure to see the Spartan. So much quality.

[@DafyddPhillips]

Couldn't agree more!

[@nan91jp65]

Incredible flying and lovely respect with both flags and waving for the crowd. Fantastic

[@RedkoNikola]

Охренеть! Если бы не увидел, не поверил! Крепкая машина! Ну и пилоты просто КРАСАВЦЫ!!! Полное восхищение!

[@Armafly]

Displaying the flag of the other country demonstrate also that these amazing pilots are also great gentlemen.

[@Ecthaelyon]

Had to be Italian... Bello, molto bello!

[@insanepolarbear]

What a machine! That pilot knows what he's doing.

[@garywarren5048]

One of the most impressive peices of flying of any aircraft I've seen. Camera on the pilot would be awesome

[@scottgorman7166]

That was incredible. Probably a jet jockey snuck into the cockpit and fired that baby up. Those pilots did a outstanding job. Popping the hatch and flying the flags.....the best! My flag is different but we all know the pride in waving our flags. Again thank you for being there and sharing this cooler than cool aircraft show..

[@Justforalaugh]

Wow didnt expect that. Thats the best pilot i ever did see

[@CanyonWanderer]

What an ACE pilot and obviously the Spartan can handle all that, impressive

[@bigboost2641]

Certainly one of the stars of the show for me, some of those maneuvers were seemingly impossible on the airframe! The crew were absolutely amazing.

[@DafyddPhillips]

Agreed 😎👍

[@DaniloProduzioni]

Italian ……

[@lmo1131]

none of those maneuvers put more than 1g on the airframe.

[@neilfoster814]

@@lmo1131 Agreed! And superb energy management too. I've seen a C130 looped, all done at 1g.

[@vascoribeiro69]

@@neilfoster814 You can't loop at 1g. A wingover you can.

[@thats_my_comment]

That is AMAZING!!! I didn't know an aircraft like that one could even do those maneuvers... WOW!!! The skills of those pilots are one n a million they fly it like it's a small RC plane yet it's a 70,000lbs. plane...!!! It's just Remarkable!!!

[@HybridGt2052]

I watched this when i attended on the Sunday, definitely in the top two displays of the day, absolutely incredible.

[@alessiosem2238]

This pilot is an Ace. Period. If you watch it live you understand what he and the aircraft are capable of.

[@cccchrismetzzzz]

It's crazy to see an aircraft with propellers pulling off those moves! Very impressive!

[@hunormagyar1843]

And it's not just some small single prop stunt plane.... It's a f*cking cargo aircraft.

[@rockatanski0218]

Italian pilots are the best in the world

[@caribbaviator7058]

I'm not sure if taking risks makes you best in the world.

[@carlobrotto7132]

​@@caribbaviator7058 It depends on how much of the risk you take but mostly of how good you are in handling that , which makes the best pilot .

[@etalon1956]

These boys know what they're doing great flying and wonderful bird

[@viper29ca]

I got to see this live in Halifax, NS, many years ago. They were showing the Spartan and the C295 off to the military as a replacement for our SAR Buffalo here in Canada. Of course they chose the C295, (mistake I believe), but to see an aircraft that size of this, be able to pull off those maneuvers. It's crazy!

[@jb6027]

Yup, they picked the wrong plane alright. How many years behind is the RCAF C295 project now? When the USAF dropped their C-27Js, the US Coast Guard was happy to jump on them!

[@robshirewood5060]

The Canadian SARTECH's are some amazing people i saw them in action once. They do superb displays and ground displays too. I applaud them and the CANSAR system, wish we had them in the UK, our government butchered our Maritime Patrol and SAR services.

[@jackaubrey8614]

Someone forgot to tell him its a tactical TRANSPORT. Brilliant bit of flying and **very** impressive aircraft.

[@melino55]

Lo sappiamo benissimo che il velivolo e' un "trasporto tattico" ma in tempo di guerra magari quella maneggevolezza e capacità di manovra potrebbe evitare l'abbattimento! Credo che se fosse un velivolo americano sarebbe stato esportato in molti piu' paesi.

[@robshirewood5060]

@@melino55 I think that is very true such capabilities can save lives in many scenarios. It seems much more capable than the C160 Transall too, it would be good to see a four engined version in comparison to C130. Stay safe, all the best from UK

[@melino55]

@@robshirewood5060A four-engine C27j...in fact i would say then a ...C47j i don't think it will efver builtfor many reasons, the main one i would say is economic.The philosophy of this machine also derives from that of the G,333 and G.91 light fighter, winner of the NATO competition in the 1960s (but not later adopted by the USA). In practice aircraft that could also land on short dirt runways, practical and robust. A cordial greeting from Turin, Italy

[@robshirewood5060]

@@melino55 I agree, but one can dream. A nice new C47 I like the idea. The G91 was a lovely aircraft, especially as you say for the tactical operations, much like the Swedish aircraft, and our Harrier (sadly missed). I loved the lines and form of the G91 my great uncle was from near Rome (married to an English aunt) and he said it has the class of a Ferrari ,Italy has had some beautiful designs often overlooked. The C27 is another one. I wish the RAF had some. I return the friendly and generous greeting to you from UK. Stay safe, all the best.

[@Noname-xi7xi]

@@robshirewood5060 The G91 reminds me of the days when safety was not yet in the "aviation vocabulary" and airshows were incredible, especialy when flown by the Frecce Tricolori. The G222, from which the C27 Spartan takes its origins, was even more impressive and they had to ban some manouvers because considered extremely dangerous (Barrel Roll with one engine inoperative)....scary to say the least. Today airshows are more appropriate and safe but some things are obviously lost, which is the price to pay and I don't regret it but, if you watch some old videos from the past, the G91 did some pretty cool stuff with 313° Gr. (Frecce Tricolori). Cheers mate.....

[@fotomakr]

Good filming - first saw a C27 pulled that level of maneuvering at the Paris Airshow in 2011. Real shocker then.

[@jabs767]

When I saw this display back in 2011 at Airshows Downunder in Avalon, Australia, the scariest part was when i examined the still images later and saw large areas of 'oil-canning' between the frames of the fuselage when under positive 'G'!

The crew must have massive confidence and trust in each other and in the airframe to attempt these sorts of maneuvers in a two-engined mail van. :) A hugely impressive display, the simulated combat landing was amazing, just fell out of the sky but touched down light as a feather. Awesome flying.
