This is nothing. I was watching video of the fires in Colorado, when they have a shot of a C130 carrying flame retardant in a 70 deg dive, parallel to a sheer mountain side of the Flatirons less than a wingspan from the ground.
A panavia tornado making a low pass like that is nothing. The Herc on the other hand, that's a whole different ballgame. At a fully loaded weight of just under 80 TONS, the herc is no prom queen. As for the pilots, they're not crazy . . nope. They're at the very front of the wackadoodle line. These nut-bag loons volunteer to fly through hurricanes !!!! The fighter jocks will simple make u-turns and head back to base.
