Great video. Always fun to see what real pilots can do with a plane.

Interesting, they mentioned a lot of the pilots were former Air Force. These were prototypes so that must be the Airbus corps of test pilots. It's too bad so many of these planes will wind up in the hands of ab initio computer clerks who can't come close to flying them like that.

I was wondering how often an Airbus pilot gets to handfly a plane like this VFR , in formation.
Way cool!

Yup, but from what I read the difference is Boeing demonstrated taking the plane to a 60 degree bank, and 30 degrees nose up. Neither of which Airbus lets you do in normal law.

In either case, it seems to me that it's Boeing's turn now. :popcorn:

That Farnborough 787-9 video is really good. I heard Boeing got reprimanded by the airshow organizers for that touch-and-go then steep bank turn. The wingtip was extremely close to the ground when they started that high bank turn. I bet Airbus must have had a fit. :lol:

I liked the comment someone made below the Airbus video. "A 787 video would be far more interesting, because of their smoke show. SMOKE ON!!!" :coffee:

Very clean.
The Euros have set the bar pretty high with this.
Let's see what Boing will do to respond :popcorn:


Maybe they could do a barrel roll over Seafair . . .
