Description
An awesome jet, but incredibly scary to fly.
Why scary ?
Pulling over 3G caused the aircraft to pitch up in what was actually a high speed stall effectively making the aircraft a falling brick, with no aerodynamics whatsoever. Once this happened pushing the stick forward and getting the nose pointed at the ground was the only way to get the plane back under the pilots control, which required a lot of altitude.
It was awesome for its speed (Mach 1.9) but scary as heck for anything else.
It also looks kinda cool, if you ask me.
Wow, I understood all that. That IS scary!
ahh ill rip your head off if u try to put me in there
Thats the interceptor F101 also used in Canada but like the RF101 more used in Viet Nam
