The ultimate circling approach

Wow.

Was a go-around not an option? That seemed like a high-risk maneuver at 100' given the circumstances shown.

Even though I tilted my head during the video to get the same sight picture (for full effect of course), I can't say I'd try that one with passengers onboard... even with Thunderstruck playing in the background :)

Two people making decisions....

Which made the crazier selection?

1) Circling 100’ off the deck in an ancient 727 with terrible power response times...

2) The guy video taping under the ancient 727 doing aerobatics...

Or did it just look like that?

Or is that the new MSFT flight sim program?

PP thoughts only, not a pro pilot...

Best regards,

Maybe easier to stay low over the water to avoid SAMs than climb over the city?   Safety is an extremely relative concept in Mogadishu i'd bet :lol:.
