They were here and gone in instant. I told my father I was really impressed with the speed of the jets. As he stood with a big grin on his face watching them vanishing in the distance, he said, “ Thank God they are ours.” From then on I have always thought that exact same thing when I lucky enough to see them.

Great breakdown! I think in this mission, the pair of planes have to fly closely, although such a formation is at the cost of some safety and situational awareness. The reason is because they are going in to a rather tight crater: over the first ridge, on the way down, they have just a few seconds to find, buddy-lase, lock on and drop the bombs on the small ventilation shaft, then they have to pull up to climb out immediately, before they run out of room towards the bottom of the crater and smack themselves onto the rocks. All this requires the two planes are tight-knit and highly synchronised like one plane. If they stayed 500 feet or a mile apart they wouldn’t be able to accomplish.

However, after doing a little digging online, it does appear to be accurate that the "paddle switch" that is depicted being pulled in the movie would allow a 33% "over-g" from 7.5G to 10.0G in an emergency. Personally, I'd probably just pass out at 2 G's and call it a day, lol 😆

One thing I never realized until I read raven one was that the pilots are the ones who actually plan their strike.

Flew another couple of miles then boom in the ground. 20 years later the fjord had the lowest level ever and my dads cousin found the jet engine! He brought some heavy machinery to the edge of the water and to this day he has the busted engine in his shed.

So... in 1985 when the first movie came out, I was living on Homestead AFB (my father was an F-4 command pilot at the time) and it came to the base theater. On the first night, the theater was filled with a bunch of Viper and Phantom pilots (USAF was going through the final transition of those aircraft at that point in time) and the calls of "Bullshit!" floating through the theater as the maneuvers were made in the Tomcat were legendary. That being said, I feel that the maneuvers made in this movie were somewhat more realistic, though procedurally I expect they would never happen without pilots losing their wings.

The way to hit that target is with 3 B-2 stealth bombers and 6 MOPs. At night. In the weather. Minimum force composition is 1 B-2 and 2 MOPs. If you're going to use F-18s, an 8 ship with 4 GBU-31V3s (.....or V5s???) each. Plus a whole lot of support assets. From a level delivery in the 20s, or if you want to go in low, a 5G toss from 5 miles out. And the bridge? Wouldn't they see that in mission planning? Here's a hint: Go over it.

I’ve done 10’ over the ocean on an Ex300, DA-40 and Cessnas. You have to be focused 100%. You can’t grip the yoke/stick hard. I LOVED the story of the guy that saved his life after he changed attitude due to the slowdown. Can a 16 hold knife edge flight? I know the EX-300 takes hard rudder, but that plane weighs as much as a shopping kart Compared to jets. I wanted to be a pilot, but my granddaddy (WWII combat vet) told me to get my schooling and never join the military. He used to say he had seen enough bloodshed for all his family.

How can you have high Gs when you're not in a circle, but just going up?

I know what you meant about the "knife edge". There is ALWAYS lift created by the wings so long as there is enough thrust to allow the wings to create enough relative wind with respect to the angle of attack (alpha). So long as the angle of attack (alpha) does not go beyond critical, then the wing will keep flying. In General Aviation aircraft, the critical "alpha" is somewhere between 17 degrees for a Cessna and a little more or less for the thinner wing of a Mooney. In short (or in pants as Ralph Machado would say) the average AOA where a GA aircraft wing might stall is at about 17 degrees or so. There are other authorities than in the FAA Book on Federal Regulations and the AIM (Airman's Information Manual), now renamed as the Aeronautical Information Manual plus the Aviation Handbook for Naval Aviators than there were named years ago due to a change in how the Pentagon allowed "persons" to become " re-gendered". The "Airman's Information Manual" was the mainstay for all post WWII GA pilots. Now the name has been changed to become the Aeronautical Information Manual so as not to offend the many different genders the Pentagon was forced to accept due to certain political parties. Thus, the Pentagon has recognized that there are more than two types of human beings who wished to become Airman or Aviators. Some are men, some were men, some are women, and some were women. But in the end, they are all "persons" of some sort under somebody's re-interpretation of the natural law that was in existence since "MAN' came into existence. Tell that to the drill sergeants during WWII, Korea and the Viet Nam War how they would treat our applicants to our fighting military today. I'd like to see the difference on a KZitem channel. It would be "fascinating" as Cdr. Spock would imagine. And he was from the future.
