For anyone who's interested in this sort of thing, this is a cockpit video of a US Navy F/A-18 from launch to arrest set to "Magic Carpet Ride". If I wasn't mightily impressed I wouldn't have bothered posting it, but I was :ok:

Cat shot with his visor up. That looks like a smart idea. I'm surprised he didn't have his mask off as well...

[Ultralights]

thats a keeper, makes me want to go and get my top gun dvd out and watch the intro with the volumn up real loud!

[Fox3snapshot]

I guess if you are going to spend that much money on make up and manicures, visors up and gloves off for the video will have to be the order of the day!

Bloody neighbours :{

its time like thesei praise some smart developers for building units to commercial/industrial standard! Love my 12In Sub and 5.1 sound system, but not as much as my 2 ft thick solid concrete walls! in 3 yrs, NEVER herd a noise from the neighbours! and vice versa!

[swh]

Is that a 500/1000 lb store thats dropped or a fuel tank off the port wing ?

:hmm:

[Capn Bloggs]

Looks like a "dumb" Mk 82 500lb berm to me.

[bekolblockage]

To paraphrase Pete and Dud: "I've got the horn".

[Eastwest Loco]

Way kewl!!!

Thank you

EWL

[muddergoose]

Great vision, great music, did you love the Hammond sound in the organ... Brilliant!

[Dookie on Drums]

Pure horn that!!:ok:

Yep, the music was just perfect for it as well.....couldn't help grinning ear to ear:O

Anybody got anymore links like that??

[Hempy]

Anybody got anymore links like that??

I have the original but its 54 meg and my host only lets me have 50. I compressed it to 6 meg to make it a reasonable download size. I do have a short one I found on the net of a F-16 pilot punching out but its pretty well known

I'll never fly for the Blue Angels again :( (2 meg) (http://www.users.on.net/~drew.dickson/Aviation/Punchout.wmv)

p.s from the outside

http://www.users.on.net/~drew.dickson/Aviation/F16_crash.jpg

Crashed during a demonstration at Mountain Home AB, Idaho. The pilot, Capt. Chris Stricklin, misjudged the altitude required to perform a split-S manoeuvre and started the pull down at only 1,670ft (510m) instead of the required 2,500ft (760m). The error most likely resulted from using an incorrect airfield altitude. Capt. Stricklin ejected only 8/10 of a second, at an altitude of 140ft (42m), before impact

Some good ones here. (http://videos.f16techs.com/) Make sure you check out the chopper video set to AC/DC's Thunderstruck. Excellent video.

Also, try this (http://www.teambanana.co.uk/b52crash2.wmv) one to watch a very big model B52 prang- very similar to LTCOL Hammond's prang in the US years ago!

There is another good page around but I didn't bookmark it and now I can't find it.

[AT502]

Got some more....................?????

For those of you who have Shareaza installed, try doing a search for "Van Halen dreams", file type "video" - you should turn up the full version of the blue angels film clip :cool:

With a decent adsl connection (512k) it will take somewhere in the order of 1 1/2 hrs to download the 64mb file :ok:

giddy up!

[elemenohpee]

i've got some tomcat videos but unsure how to post
any sugestions

[Gnadenburg]

I work with some ex-RAAF pilots and they have some good videos worth seeking out- Hornet and Mirage stuff around the Northern Territory.

The Mirage is exilarating to watch-low level up the Daly River or in dogfights using it's unbelievable roll rate.

The Hornet is a bit ho-hum after watching the Mirage. Looks slow and cautious in the low level scenes but the gun camera stuff excellent- versus F15's and zippy F16's.

[Ultralights]

any way of getting some of those mentioned Mirage vids up on the net?? for our downloading and drooling pleasure?

[Chimbu chuckles]

Here are some excellent ones

airviolence downloads (http://www.airviolence.com/download.php)

Look under the bushflying one for some great footage of a supercub waterskiing onto riverbanks to short to land on....much more too besides.

[Gnadenburg]

Have asked around and the video of the Mirages is at the RAAF Museum at Pt Cook in a video presentation. Not sure how you could obtain it.

If the same as the one I watched, Darwin based Mirages with a background of 80's rock and roll music-quite well done and without corny Americanism's.

Israeli gun camera footage from the Six Day War was tacked on to the end of the version I saw aswell. Low level strafing and dogfighting. More srafing than dogfighting:} The Egyptians caught with their pants down ( or at morning prayer ).

This link, thanks to Skylark3 over on the African Forum, shows a little of the Transafrik B727 operation in Angola. Not military, but not for the faint-hearted either. Its about a 4mb download...

Wow Herc - that is amazing.

I would just love to hear non-hushkitted JT8D-15s bellowing again.

The old 727 is just the best looking aeroplane, with the 757 a close second.

By the way, have you seen the very pretty Heavylift 727-100 in fresh new paint at CNS? There is also a very impressive looking C130 in their colours that seems to be based there.

Thanks and best regards

EWL

[Herc Jerk]

Pretty good... for a jet;) And those JT8-Ds are partially responsible for some of my hearing damage. What? Mr Boeing sure built them well- that vid is ops normal, i have photos of them there in the rain and the place turns into a mud bath.

BTW haven't been to CNS for a few weeks so i may not have seen it, but you're not thinking of the Bristol Frieghter that has been at CNS and in BNE recently? Both big beasties with the same slim-line design but i think the Bristol outweighs the Herc by 20t or so...

HJ

[Eastwest Loco]

Herc

It was a C130 - I know my Bristol Freighters mate. A Fat Albert is equally easy to pick.

Best

EWL

[topdrop]

It's actually a Shorts Brothers Belfast, not a Herc.

Well butter me on both sides and call me Barbara topdrop.

So it is.

I will blame the excellent red served MEL CNS is J class on QF for my incorrect call.

[Herc Jerk]

Lamentably i may claim no excuse other than a tenuous grasp on an ailing memory...

or maybe the crew meals on DJ?;)
