He could have tried another approach.
One day during flight training in a single engine.
I asked the instructor what is the max. dive angle
and speed can this plane do? I did read warnings on the sun visor.
The instructor slammed /pushed the throttle full and the plane into a vertical dive.
From I think was about 42k with full flaps. WTF? We were at the time viewing stall
speeds and recovery scenarios. We went from 48k to over 191k in under 18 sec.?
As he recovered flaps. Just crazy!
btw. This is one recovery option. Just need a little altitude.
btw2. The planes list max speed was 175k. Later I found out
it can take on 250k.
So, to all the next contestants out there.
I feel a vertical dive into structures will result in more damage. IMO.
btw3: Don't forget. Never fly on light tanks when you are doing these thangs..
Always start fully loaded with fuel. You may change your mind and need to get to
a friendly border. South btw.
