We just put one of our REDs (#107 'Chewie') up in an Alpha jet. 500 knots and 5 G turns, shooting to a RED drive tethered down below the seats with a bit of padding. Not one dropped frame! Can't tell you what we're working on just yet...

Must have had some serious mountings - don't like to think what a 5x heavier Red body would do untethered in a cockpit!

Wow, having had some experience with this I'm surprised you didn't get any dropped frames from the vibrations. Did you get down among the weeds or was it strictly regular altitudes?
I'm guessing down in the weeds for added fun, but who knows?
Either way, I'm sure you had a ball!! :)

Thanks Mike. We were covered in the end, and hope there will be more shooting ahead.
And yes, there were some weeds to be down among. More to come...

with 500 knots, you really have the mark!!
