too risky.. I would personally try that with a vstol like harrier , at least you would have a nozzle down the plane that pushes you up :-/

those planes are not designed to fly like that, at high altitudes (without engine failure) you may try that as there is plenty of distnace to cover up but just some meters above the ground , thats stupidty..

Probably not any safer in a Harrier, TBH. Single engine flat out with little cooling and a relatively high change of foreign objects. In this type of aircraft if the engine fails you will most likely lose the aircraft regardless of the phase of flight. They don't make good gliders even when they have flying speed.

Engines in planes. Tsk. It'll never catch on.

Yeah .. whoever took it had all the right kit and the luck needed to get a "once in a lifetime" shot ... and with the number of newsagency's carrying it I guess he/she is making a few bob out of it as well 

 I wish ......

Thats an amazing photo!!!!

But cant help wondering why the health and saftey lot didnt move that 200ft speaker out of the way,It all seemed to be going fine until then I know fighter pilots are good but to make them fly through speakers..........
