The initial take-off when on a plane can be a terrifying moment. Despite it being a scary few seconds, it is always very safe. However, one plane is filmed on camera taking off at a very
steep angle. Yet the plane isn’t a normal passenger plane and is actually taking off for combat. The video shows the plane taking off like it normally would. However as soon as the wheels
leave the tarmac, it changes course into a very quick and steep upwards flight. As it reaching dizzying heights rapidly, it then turns almost back on itself when it’s fully in the air. It’s
certainly only a flight for the strong-stomached. Imgur users were just as scared of the flight action. One wrote: “11/10 would vomit.” Others went for a much more tactical outlook. Another
commented: “Rapid ascent to altitude is combat tactical manoeuvre to stay within airfield defence zone. Very effective again man pads or ground fire.” Another plane was recently caught on
camera attempting some very dangerous manoeuvres. It was filmed making an emergency landing on a busy motorway. The terrifying video shows it narrowly avoiding hitting any cars before coming
to a stop. Nobody was reported to be injured.
