Notes:
(PHOTO 1 of 2) see photo 2 above, Cobra manouver. Riat 06.This photo is another one in the sequence of photos during the cobra manouvre. It is not the last in sequence, the aircraft in fact "rotated" even much more backwards than this (!) but this photo is showing the wing tip smoke going just everywhere without any logical direction because of that "crazy" and physics defying "rotation" of aircraft (almost) on its own centre of gravity ! Friends, note that 10 photos of the sequence at 3 frames per second means that during this manouvre, the aircraft , for approx. 3 seconds, flies.....BACKWARDS !! That is air rushing into engines, wrong way round (through exhaust nozzles rather than intakes !) This, I am told, at least up to now, is not possible in western type of engines (I stand to be corrected). Interesting, this is not where the engines need most power, instead, that is during the vertical tail slide and recovery from it !
