derammo Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I ejected from a 29S in level flight just above the tower for laughs and it flew away... it has been circling for more than 25 minutes now (no control input or auto pilot involved) and hasn't crashed yet. Is that a record :)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derammo Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Wow. This is one stable aircraft even without a canopy! It finally stopped flying up and down in altitude and settled like this for like 20 minutes. Finally ran out of fuel and crashed after 38 minutes and 19 seconds without a pilot.

oniellnz Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I had that happen in an IL-2 once. Got all controls knocked out so bailed. The plane kept circling for over 30 minutes, with the 88 still taking pot shots at it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Shaken, stirred, snap frozen - twice, turned into a snowman and shaken some more.

mwd2 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I think the pilotless MiG-23 that flew into West Germany years ago has you beat. Pilotless MIG Flies Into NATO Skies, Crashes July 05, 1989 BRUSSELS — A Soviet jet fighter flew over three NATO nations Tuesday, after its pilot ejected over Poland, and crashed into a house near the French-Belgian border, killing a teen-ager inside. Officials of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, headquartered in Brussels, said U.S. F-15s intercepted the MIG-23 soon after it entered NATO airspace and accompanied it until it crashed. They said the Soviet plane was carrying only conventional weapons. http://articles.latimes.com/1989-07-05/news/mn-3104_1_nato-air Playing: F-16C Intel i7-13700KF, 64GB DDR5 @5600MHz, RTX 4080 ZOTAC Trinity, WIN 11 64Bit Prof. Squadron "Serious Uglies" / Discord-Server: https://discord.gg/2WccwBh Ghost0815 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
