There’s something quite mind-blowing about this Cargo plane pilot who forgets he’s not in a fighter jet, pulls off a maneuver you’d expect from a plane half the size.
The legendary C-27J Spartan military cargo plane is a powerful beast, often referred to as the ‘mini-Hercules’ due to its sheer power, which makes its ability to act like a tiny fighter jet even more impressive.
The cargo airplane performed at the RIAT Airshow and showed off its aerobatic routine in the form of extreme tight maneuvers and barrel rolls.
Check out the impressive display above and be wowed by the cargo plane that seems to defy all expectations.
