Very cool cobra, but I prefer this one, which just happens to one of only five privately owned cobras in the states. You'd be amazed at the quality and shear number of unique toys found in this hanger :)

Is that Jack Watson's old ship?

That Heli almost didn't exist a while ago. The Red Bull pilot almost dynamically rolled it here a while back. There was a Youtube video of it but now I can't seem to find it. Skid got caught in the grass and instead of setting it back down and working it out he just yankes the collective and it comes very close to rolling.

Easy to do in a Cobra - they're so tall and narrow. I remember slopes (8° limit, caution > 5°) and landings were challenging at first until you get used to it.

 

Some fun/interesting EP/Limits pages from my old study cards...

 

Airspeed:

 

VNE - 190 KIAS

FFAR pods installed - 180

TOW launchers installed - 170

TOW missile firing - 150

SCAS off - 100 (avoid TQ above 88%)

 

Jettison Canopy:

 

Arm/Fire mechanism handle - turn 90°

Arm/Fire mechanism handle - pull

Warning - dangerous in the presence of fuel vapors

- avoid simultaneous gunner and pilot pulling of handle
