This one's great for you Tomcat lovers. It was shot by a Tomcat buddy of mine who is flying the U-2 now.
The shadow of the jet appearing at the :38, :54, and 1:20 is a nice touch.
I love it. The Turkey is down after the trap. ;) Catch the big thumbs down from the RIO?

First one gets my vote for Best Soundtrack in an Aviation or Foreign Porn Film...


Yeah...Pags, thanks for getting those up there. Great flying.

I have to say, after seeing that second one again, I am making a promise to myself.

Never fly with anyone associated with a group called "The Crazy Boys".:D

In the spirit of RI's, here is a PAR approach into NAS North Island from the cockpit of a P-3C:
You really posted that in your own thread titled "Best Aviation Videos?"
I was riveted.
Agree.....P-3's are awesome and all:D but the only P-3 video that should go into "Best Aviation Video's Of All-Time" should be one doing a gear-up or one fukcing away an abort and running out of runway.......bogey, I was just waiting to see the youtube video of a P-3 actually going missed approach, that would be exciting......in the spirit of RI's of course.

I remember seeing this somewhere on here in the past. One of my favorite aviation videos. Music is kinda crappy though.

Yep. Svetlana rocks.

And she looks hot... although I've got to wonder what the hell the point of wearing chutes is, especially down low doing the crap they are. Kind of like wearing a helmet on a motorcycle doing 150mph down the interstate in traffic. What's the point?

You wear the chute because you can convert all that speed into an altitude where you can get out (What kind of fighter guy are you?). Or you climb to a safe altitude at the first sign of trouble. Like you blow a jug and still climb to altitude before it stops. I saw Eldrige jump out of his Corsair at an Air Race when it caught fire. He climbed, shot a freon bottle and as it lost power and continued to burn successfully jumped out. He was the only guy wearing a chute in the entire race! That was because everyone thought they were useless at the altitudes they flew. I understand they are now mandatory at Reno.

The helmet won't save your brain housing group at 150mph, it is for when you skid to a stop and hit the curb at 30 mph.;)

I love that "crazy boys" video...some great flat hatting (or maybe cars on the road need to be rigged).

Awhile back there was a video on here of some guys in mirages doing low levels that was a pretty awesome video.

Halon? I'm pretty sure the air conditioning wasn't the problem.:D
I did mean to say halon, good catch. Back in the day there were some systems that used freon. They smothered a fire just fine.
