VFRguy Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I have been trying to fly under that very tall tower over in Paris. I had to configure the plane to the Superman mode to prevent the flight from coming to an end when I crash. I come in from the grassy side (wheels up) and lined up really good. I hit the opening with plenty of space all around. Just as I get directly under I hear a really bad sound. The plane is forced to the ground with the wheels extended and I exit the other side bouncing around and finally jump into the air. I have tried it with my two ultralight planes with the same results. The “ARCH DE TRIUMPH†let me fly through OK. Some of the bridges let me through some will not. I found out that the Golden Gate has a small window to fly through. I guess the other bridges have a small window as well (or else I am a very poor pilot). I like Under Flights because you get away with something that would send you to jail in real life. People have been flying under things since day one. They are fun. I also like buzzing cars and trucks. Scares the hell out of them. 9/11 took the fun out of flying into buildings. VFRguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFRguy Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 I just did it in a Cirrus SR22 in full throttle. I don't know what to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFRguy Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 The Cirrus SR22 went through 3 times OK at full speed. My beloved Baron tried 3 times at slower speeds was a NO GO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsproles Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) I have flown under the new bridge beside the Hoover Dam. Approaching it from over the lake is fun. You get the impression of height as you go over the dam wall.
