Watch: Pilot demonstrates a near vertical take-off with a huge Airbus in Berlin. (It was a stunt)
An incredible exploit in choppy weather.
A number of pilots come out during the ILA Berlin air show to perform their most daring tricks and showcase their aviation skills. One such pilot performed the daunting feat of an almost vertical take-off in a large Airbus A350 (video above), sans passengers, of course.
Among the other aerobatic acts on display (video below) was that of a Kawasaki P-1 plane performing nerve wracking stunts in mid-air on a particularly stormy day. As the description of the video puts it: “Typical German April weather with weather changes within a few minutes caused a very interesting flying display of the 4-engine Kawasaki P-1”.
