Great thrust vectoring shots

Absolutely superb video.

I saw a MiG-29M OVT at Fairford in '06 displaying; it is really something to watch. The rotating freefall is spectacular, as is the 'boomerang' that he does just after takeoff. I got a couple of photos, but don't really have a long enough lens for the really interesting stuff:

Homer,

Good vid. It's easy to forget that Dryden played with this stuff years ago. I hadn't read much about the X-31, but researched the HARV (F-18 based hi-AOA / post stall experimental) a while ago. I wonder how many country's programmes benefitted from this data.

P.S link of the HARV doing some post-stall stuff
