Waaro?

Nou, hiero:

After what seemed like an eternity, it tailslid,
then oh-so-gently pitched forward
in a lovely (& completely unintended) hammerhead/ Su-27 "Cobra"-stylee manoeuver.

Fuel came out of the intakes in big clouds of vapour. I was pretty sure that wasn't supposed to happen.

The CWP lit up like a Christmas tree as various systems tripped offline... SPILS.... CSAS.... Pressurisation (!!?)....

Enneh: hij zat bij het drie-en-veertigste...

Daar beschrijft hij toch echt een tail slide, al noemt hij het een kobra.

Ziehier het verschil:

Kobra (bijna horizontale manoeuvre):

Tail Slide (vertikale manoueuvre):
