Lo llamaban el avión plátano… y terminó humillando a todos

#MotorHistory #BlackburnBuccaneer #MilitaryAviation They called it the banana plane. It flew 20 feet above the ground and disappeared from all radar screens | Buccaneer Nobody saw it coming. Literally. Nevada, 1977. The most demanding combat exercise on the planet. The best fighter pilots in the world in F-15s patrolling the airspace. The most sophisticated air defense systems available. And an aircraft that had been called the banana plane for thirty years, flying 20 feet above the ground at 6,000 kilometers per hour, disappearing from all radar screens. It wasn't invisible. It didn't have stealth technology. It was the aircraft nobody wanted, that the Navy never defended, and that the RAF accepted with resignation. And in two weeks in the Nevada desert, it made the most sophisticated air defense system in the world seem to have forgotten a fundamental variable.
