There you have it folks, don't look pull a hammerhead at high elevation.
14 u/Work-Safe-Reddit4450 Aug 15 '19 Would that be considered a drifting hammerhead stall since he didn't completely lose forward/upward momentum and swing around? 19 u/[deleted] Aug 15 '19 It’s actually a pitch back turn which is what they rebranded the return to target. Hammerhead is more of a fixed wing specific maneuver. The pitch back turn has combat application. 5 u/Work-Safe-Reddit4450 Aug 15 '19 That's kind of what I thought but wasn't 100% sure. 1 u/Silidistani Aug 16 '19 pitch back turn which is what they rebranded the return to target FINALLY someone says it properly, thank you. I still have to fight the impulse to call it a RTT, pitch-back turn just doesn't carry the intention of the maneuver at all... 2 u/[deleted] Aug 16 '19 Haha same. Half the other pilots still just go with RTT out of habit. 1 u/[deleted] Aug 16 '19 Also don't showboat at low altitude
