Jul 28 2009Russian Pilot Ejecting From Plane At Mach 2

Wow

Holy shit!

Did they wreck that 65 million dollar plane for a movie?

I wonder why it has to be photoshopped?

No way, that's gotta be photoshoped.

thats nothing, I once eject at mach 1 million and skydived in space, using the suns gravatation pull as a sling shot to launch me back to earth, all while texting on my phone...

while texting did you not look to see where you was falling and end up in an open manhole?

that is awesome....if true....need to see the actual video to belive is not photoshoped, the highlights are all wrong...anyway if the russian pilots were given enough vodka from the producers im sure they were willing to do it...why not....

How is this photoshopped?! Looks legit to me, the only odd looking part is the envelope around the cockpit being broken, but that's just what happens at mach fAcking 2... Flying at that speed with no canopy must have been insanely loud though lol.

it aint fake this sites got a few more shots and speaks to the pilot who describes what flying at that speed without a canopy is like:

Follow the links and you'll read about:

Plane flying without canopy at mach2
2nd Pilot ejecting

But not at the same time!!! Those russians may be mad, but not that mad...

Dudes, full flaps? Full nose down trim on the elevator? This plane is flying at minimum speed. And there's no way in hell any aircraft can fly, controlled, at Mach 2 without a canopy. Shock waves would form on all the projections, stuff would get torn off, the vacuum effect alone might even suck everything right out of the cockpit.

5. STOMPY - Thats funny!

Where's Daisy when you need him. Clearly this is Photoshopped, the shadows are all wrong. It reminds me of that time in, oh never mind. Daisy is the master.

But seriously, my mother always told me, "Son, don't eff with the Russians because they will pull your head off and poop down your neck." True story.

Out

On Edit: Fish wont let me use the F word anymore or the S word. What a friggin' gyp!

@#5

texting wouldnt work in space.

I almost believed your incredibly daring story until you came at me with that ludicrous bullsheiss.

@11 exactly, wtf the pilot should hav di3d flying at mach WITHOUT a freaking canopy

Why does it look like someone SHOT the plane with an ejecting pilot from another plane not pictured below that one? THAT my friends would be a dangerously expensive scene & an example of how good helmets are these days

@12 - did your mom play duke nukem? because she totally just ripped off his line:

"I'm gonna rip your head off and shit down your neck"

Nothing on Snopes about it yet. Looks awesome, but I will remain skeptical.

old!!

www.englishrussia.com - was on there a few days ago.... come on keep up :D we all have access to the same blogs as you guys hehe :P

In Soviet Russia sound barrier break you!

Maybe he slowed down when they did the Ejection seat shot, i would i mean come on.... you never know, and run the numbers before saying that the vacuum effect could tear off every single instrument in the plane... you can't proof that if you don't run the numbers, and the stress levels that material can withstand...

I don't even like driving over 65mph with the windows down. There's no way I'm going to fly without a canopy.

I will fly without a can-o-pee's though. Cause I don't like eating my vegetables.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
that was for you #11 -_-"

yah, me thinks the SFX dept could do it a little cheaper.....but wouldn't be as fun!

i once ejaculated at mach 2.

I hit a satelite and knocked everyone's sky TV out for 3 hours, and destroyed the mars rover.

on the + side, i filmed it and sold the footage. it became the funeral sequence special effects for spock in wrath of kahn star trek 2 - trek harder (with a vengence.)

@25

It was also used in Star Wars Episode 2: Electric Boogaloo.

and was the reason why the dogs were so grumpy in K9 and turner and hooch

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max is racing some guys, and hits the nitrous. Unfortunately the floor of his car comes loose, and also the car dies.

This true. I was second pilot that ejected in that picture. The G force from flying without canopy was bad so that it started to push insides out all my orifices. I now can poop standing up.

I hate it when Daisy is right.

You guys aren't educated in the matter so... you don't know what your talking about. I hate uneducated assumptions...

Looks like the Russians just pwn'd the US in badassery.

Look at the tailplanes guys.

Sorry, but she's not going at mach 2, she's probably at a minimum control speed.

The jetblast on the aluminum skin would ruin that plane and certainly make something like this incredibly cost prohibitive. Oh, and there is the whole risk to the pilots deal...geeze.

Ain't photoshop grand?

what movie was it for?

(inside the cockpit...s?)

Pilot 1: Gary, I'm pregnant. It's yours.
Pilot 2: Oh God no Eject EJECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pilot 1: (shits, weeps)
Pilot 2: (shits, weeps, SOARS)

Do not confuse VFX with SFX. There IS a difference. Shooting this ejection live-action, using an actual plane, pilot, stunts, etc... is a Special Effects shot (SFX). If you were to fake it all digitally... THAT would be a Visual Effects shot (VFX).

didn't heard about 3d animations, special effects and compositing xD???

i can thrust at mach 2.

My grandpa told me about a guy who ejected at mach 1 at the base he was stationed at and he broke every bone in his body. I don't think that it would be physically possible to eject at mach 2 and survive.

Now THAT'S how you make a movie.

CG is for pussies with money.

I bet that guy screamed "AAAAAHH Motherland!" As he ejected, then he stuffed his pilot suit full of doodoo butter.

In Soviet Russia there is no sound barrier because all sounds are equal.

Ejecting at Mach 2 is possible, but bloody dangerous. Someone survived an SR-71 disintegrating at Mach 3.18, but it's not a recommended thing. AFAIK, ejection tests are performed at low speed and without canopies. If you look at the photos on Englishrussia, you can see there's no backseater. And in the comments section of one of those pages, someone linked this: http://forums.airforce.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=11847&d=1212005118.

At first I thought this was a photoshop job, using that pic, but now I'd say the first pic is simply that ground test, from another angle, with the gear lopped off and a background shopped in.

Flying without a canopy, and perhaps even the ejection stuff? Not necessarily fake (although perhaps done many years ago as part of the testing run for "Bort 801").
Doing those things at Mach 2? I give that 99.99% chance of fakery, at the very least.

Bull Shit

#1 Can't Fly without a canopy at above the speed of sound.

#2 A person ejecting into mach 2 winds would be pulverized

#3 If its for a movie why would the need to fly at mach 2?
