The massive size makes the flying speed seem very true to scale. And the flying skill involved in doing aerobatics while keeping an eye on the jets next to yours is something else. What an amazing display.
Totally agree on the skill level. I'm sure I could fly an airplane and do modest aerobatics. I'm sure I could fly an RC aircraft. I _cannot_ imagine flying an RC jet doing formation aero.
"Wünderbar!! Ich leoben et" (yea, I know)!!! Looking at these birds in the air, one starts to ponder "where did the models on the ground, go to" 🤔??? The BEST RC demonstration, propeller or jet, old or new, that I've witnessed 😲, EVER!!!!
Uh ... yeah. Me too. Kudos to the builders and the pilots. I mean .. shit! Three RC extremely high performance jets flying in formation, with smoke, and inverted? And then nailing landings? I'm stunned.
These three pilots did an amazing job. One that has never flown r/c planes in close formation like this can barely imagine how much training and talent you need. This level of formation flying with $50k models each is not something you see every day. Thanks !
Your right. I fly rc, my brother does and he is a pilot. We tried formation flying in RC and it's very hard. Trying to match speed and turn radius is very hard from the ground perspective. It's fun though!!
@@acb9896 irl referring to actually piloting a jet in the seat. Though this might be "IRL" it is certainly incomparable in terms of risk with flying in the seat...and this formation flying is also in no way comparable to real skilled formation flying of "IRL" seated pilots.
WOW.... I am modeler for almost 50 years ant that was one of the best modelers show I ever saw! BRAVO!!!! Hat down to pilots. I would like to see them in real and I put that in my bucket list for my life.
@@TugIronChief Since this was flown and filmed in Germany, It's the LBA (Luftfahrt-Bumdesamt) that makes all the rules and by god are there many rules. As usual we Germans go a bit overboard with all the rules and regulations so there's basically no way you can fly anywhere that hasn't been approved by the LBA before. These planes being 90kg must have a Transponder so that nearby ATCs can see what they're doing. These Pilots must've also completed countless exams and slowly gone up the ladder of weight classes to get to this point. There is no real way a Buffon could pick one of these planes up and smash it into a car or house.
Wunderschön, super Show, meinen vollen Respekt den 3 Piloten an der RC, Starfighter F104 , meine schönste Zeit im MFG2 von 1984-1992 , habe an diese fliegende Zigarre selber schrauben dürfen und kannte die Vikings. ,,,,, Ich teilte ich auch Freud und auch leider Leid.
Hi good aftrnoon,,, here lm enjoing your amazing video with those special aircraft RC,,, incredible way to fly,,, congrautlations,,, your friend Oscar de Pachuca HGo Estados Unidos Mexicanos,,,
I saw these impressive models years ago at the Jet Scale Model Championship in Herrieden/Germany. I was really impressed and can only say that the video doesn't come close to reality. My work colleague, who was there, was stationed with the Bundeswehr at the location when the original F-104s were repainted and prepared for departure. He's seen the originals many times and was just speechless at the level of detail.
Mein Gott! Als Pilot würden mir die Daumen von Anschlag zu Anschlag zittern! Für mich unbegreiflich, wie man mit solchen Modellen und dann auch noch als Team so viel Routine erreichen kann. Hut ab auch für die Kameraführung.
Exactly. The "Missile With A Man." The NF-104 almost killed Chuck Yeager and he had to eject. The 104 killed famous test pilot Ivan Kincheloe at Edwards during testing. Everything I have read says this was a very difficult aircraft to fly just as you said.
When I was deeply into RC, back in the early 70's (40MHz had only just arrived in Australia) there was absolutely no way that we'd have considered that 1/3 scale turbines were going to be a "thing" in the not too distant future. Amazing. :)
Absoluter Hammer!!!!! Spitzenklasse;!!! Die Dinger lassen sich bestimmt sehr schwierig fliegen, haben eine Gleitzahl wie ein Klavier.😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍 Viele Grüße aus Germany
Im 61, when i was a younger man i would have loved one of those. One could be forgiven that they look and sound like the real thing. Well done lads, fantastic.
Ich habe am F104 S - TF104G - F104 ASA - F104 ASAM gearbeitet. Sie können sich nicht vorstellen, was für ein Nervenkitzel es ist, sich selbst mit diesen Modellen im Maßstab 1:3 fliegen zu sehen. Du warst fantastisch, ausgezeichnete Fluggenauigkeit. Der Sound war so real, dass ich mich 40 Jahre zurückversetzt fühlte. Glückwunsch an alle 3.
i thought they were real! this display of authentic starfighters in 1/3 scale is unmatched in the r/c world. the pilot skill and r/c model engineering are superb. all i can say is 'HORRIDO!'
F104 the most beautiful fighter ever. I am perhaps one of the lucky few to be trained (not on the 104) by one these excellent German Airforce Pilots. What a gentleman he presented himself!
I've seen several videos of this team and these planes and its always amazing, but this was the most flawless one so far. I love that they chose the F-104. Its such a unique plane with those tiny wings.
WOW ...that couldn't have been flown more professionally if it were actually piloted by human pilots....! Well done , expertly executed !! I am truly amazed !! Wonderful !!
Outstanding. Unbelievable. Only who flew or flies RC jets can imagne how difficult this very particular flight display has been. Unbeatable when it comes to RC plane performance. GREAT!
Great show and awesome jets! I used to do virtual team aerobatics a while back. I've often dreamed of applying it to, then pretty new, 1st person R/C using large scale aircraft (which you've got here👍) and each pilot controlling from their own cockpit using VR. Could lend itself to some really precision flying (?). Has anyone there considered trying "semi-virtual" air demonstrations?... Blue skies, all!
Very impressive. While electronics are getting smaller, RC models are getting bigger. If you want to take a flight, all you need is a horse saddle. I wonder when someone will make a 1:1 scale model.
Amazing skills...love the single low level then up to climb out to right into the triangle formation bang in formation...brilliant timing and tight formations.
Most amazing as per comments below. What does concern me however are the lack of safety barriers not only for the pilots, but apparently for spectators as well. In the spite of the tremendous pilot skill, if something was to go awry mechanically in these 1/3 scale turbines , it could lead to a fatality or even worse in. the environment pictured in the video!
So cool. Great show, highly skilled pilots and beautiful F-104 airplanes. Please leave a booking contact. It would be fantastic to have this pro demoteam in Belgium!!

I can't even imagine how much harder flying RC formation is than IRL. And the F104 is just an all time favorite fighter.

Brilliant I'm a 65 years old man and own loads of RC stuff but these pilots are the best - credit to them - what a display 100 percent performance
Just one of these incredible models would be a sight to see, here there THREE of them and they’re flown in formation! Just wow.

Amazing flight skills. Enjoyed it very much. Thank you

Now this is an amazing video! Incredible flying by these three pilots! Low passes, inverted, formations, they do it all!
Amazing, 3 rockets with tiny wings. The most difficult aircraft to fly flown to perfection

It took NO IMAGINATION AT ALL to think they were real! The speed and sound reinforced that feeling too! Just amazing, as was the skill of the pilots!

Tolle Maschinen, super Flugshow und kein Absturz. Die ‘Vikings’ der Marineflieger haben vorgemacht wie es geht.
Unglaublich große Jets und davon noch drei, die realistischen Flug präsentierten. Hut ab!

Spectaculiar flying skill by these gentlemen. Eye opening.
Impressionante. fantastici. se non l'avessi visto con i miei occhi che sono radioguidati non ci avrei mai creduto!
The most impressive R C video I’ve seen yet. INCREDIBLE !!!
Ausgezeichnete Fliegerkunst, meine Herren. Einfach toll!
The F-104 was a cool looking aircraft and these superb models are even cooler.
I've seen several videos of this team and these planes and its always amazing, but this was the most flawless one so far. I love that they chose the F-104. Its such a unique plane with those tiny wings.
AWESOME. About the most impressed I've ever been with R/C aircraft, let alone flying as a team.
Absolutely amazing! Fantastic paint scheme. The size of these models adds so much to how they look in the sky.
Great job and beautiful models
Wow amazing. These pilots are top notch. They certainly put a lot of time, energy, and money into them. One of the jet engines cost over $8,000.00
Thanks for the info. I was curious.
@@jacksonmacd Another comment mentioned that the plane is worth US50K each. The controller would be expensive as well. André
WOW ...that couldn't have been flown more professionally if it were actually piloted by human pilots....!
Well done , expertly executed !!
I am truly amazed !!
Wonderful !!
Very Impressive...!
SUPER SUPER SUPER SHOW ! BRAVO ! BRAVISSIMO ! ♥
Unbelievable. Pretty soon, they'll have to file a flight plan, or, maybe, they do !!!👌
Outstanding!!!
Great job these Pilots are fantastic, it's obvious they get in lots and lots of practice. The planes are beautiful, and performed perfectly.
That will just about do it, . Very professional looking aircrafts, And No talking, Good luck from Texas ,usa.
Das Beste, was ich bisher gesehen habe!

Einfach Spitze was hier geboten wurde. Ganz große Klasse
Magnifique et très réaliste bravo
Love how the RP is just so relaxed in his sandals.
The widow maker just back in action.
Top Gear & top RC pilots
👏👏👏
Spectacular and really the nearest to a real airshow! Thanx. Next move is to get the real F-104 and make it radio control.
Was für ein Display.
Tausend Dank, echt Klasse.
Geile Teile! Und eine super Darbietung der Piloten! Top!
Positively incredible jets, flown with such precision and captured on video exquisitely! What a show!!
😎👍🔥
WOW! That's amazing! 😲
What engineering, what flying, what filming.👍👍👍
The best R\C models flying I have ever seen, well done you guys are experts 👌👌
Fabulous 👏🏻👍🏻I watch these all the time and this was one of the best. Thank you.
Totally wicked!! The authenticity is amazing.👍👍
Now, let's bring in 3 Migs and have some real fun.😁
Unbelievable, what a great job in every way, you guys really made the grade.
Congratulations and thank you very much.
Thank you very much 🙏😎
Absolutely incredible I remember the Starfighter 60s
Unbelievable formation flying for models. Incredible.
Incredible F-104 Formation Trio!! This reminds me of a former Starfighter Trio called the, "Starfighters!" Excellent performance. 🔥👌
ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING RC thingy I have seen
Very impressive. While electronics are getting smaller, RC models are getting bigger. If you want to take a flight, all you need is a horse saddle. I wonder when someone will make a 1:1 scale model.
Sebastian Fuchs... Besser als die Luftwaffe jemals war
Great skills flying together and great work on the planes...
Genial!! Da wäre Franz Josef Strauß begeistert.
Fabulous, realistic ground ops! 👍👍😊
Amazing skills...love the single low level then up to climb out to right into the triangle formation bang in formation...brilliant timing and tight formations.
Now these are big bois toys. I'm glad yall keeping RC alive. Nice job guys.😊👍🏽
Die "Vikings" hätten es nicht besser gekonnt - tolle Modelle und eine spektakuläre Flugformation mit den F 104...
OMFG!!! THAT is IMPRESSIVE!!!! Great job!!
Never seen such a great show,this is next level 4sure...
That’s insane !
WOW! those guys are good.
Beautiful aircraft and amazing flying skills! Kudos!

This is getting ridiculous! A person could easily ride these. Beautiful models btw
Amazing stuff!!
Holy crap, very impressive
2:30 damn bruh that low roll wow
Wow das war eine brillante Vorstellung 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That was SWEET!!! Thanks for sharing!
Great video 👍👍
Es wäre schön wenn man zusätzlich den Blick aus dem Cockpit zeigen könnte, also die Pilotensicht am besten mit Höhen und Geschwindigkeitsangaben
Top! Beautiful special color, what a performance!!!
Really impressive
Absolutely increadable RC flying!...WOW
So much to say. Beautiful aircraft, skilled pilots and so much more.
So cool. Great show, highly skilled pilots and beautiful F-104 airplanes. Please leave a booking contact. It would be fantastic to have this pro demoteam in Belgium!!
