The sound is off by a bit, you can hear it end about 3 seconds early as well.

Vimeo link, since it won't let me embed- https://vimeo.com /47239551

French Navy's version of a cruise video- Random interludes and crappy music aside, there's some great footage. On a similar note, French AF Rafales-

Apparently Thud's aren't the only aircraft capable of destroying large glass buildings during graduation ceremonies... Forty years earlier- http://69.199.231.171/wiki/index.php/Supersonic_F-105_Flyby

Great video from the back of an offshore powerboat racing safety/spotter helo (as-350). A bit lengthy, but there's some awesome flying and scenery, including multiple deployments of the swimmer to collided/sinking vessels (2:50, 5:30).

Pilot was pretty dang lucky to walk away from this... http://www.klewtv.com/news/local/Legacy-Air-Show-Idaho-pilot-crash-Buck-Roetman-159295495.html

If that wasn't low enough for you...

Not to detract from a few of the gems just posted... but how did these two didn't end up killing anyone else or themselves is beyond me. Note the guy who just ducks under the TR at :24 and of course the whole pack that almost gets mowed down shortly there after.

A bit of a different perspective-

Some great HD aerial footage of the USNTPS fleet-

Phenomenal HD F4F footage- While we're at it, some other warbirds. The P-51 sound on takeoff is awesome! Don't know why they had to cut in with music.

Spectacular low level out in Yuma. (best watched in full screen HD)

Nope and it really isn't even taken into consideration. There are many AF pilots with a degree in "basket weaving."

Even worse than just wanting to get in the fight, is watching your unit get ready to deploy while you'll still be in middle of training. Like you, at some point I'd like to deploy, otherwise I wouldn't be particularly good at the job I signed up for. Being down in the mud was one of the primary...

While we're on helos... some HD porn. EC Tiger- X3- Civilian SAR- Eurocopter's channel, well worth checking out if you have some time. http://www.youtube.com/user/EurocopterEADS/videos

OH-58's dropping some interesting "ordnance."

From what I can gather, the problem they are running into more than anything specific is with the "initial production while testing" methodology. Once they identify a problem, which is understandable and expected during testing, they have to ground the fleet while they redesign and fix dozens of...

I appreciate the lecture on the differences between a blog and an article... but if you got over the semantics of a quickly typed post and read the source, you'd see it's pretty much just a summary of an independently written and researched report. Obviously reading the original is better and...

Interesting article highlighting some of the serious technical issues they've been having-...

Icelandic CG-

I will say the drone I saw in the video looked like it was made out of cardboard... Maybe one of these days we should allow them to shoot down a mockup with everything done wrong and let the Chinese/Ruskies spend the next decade trying to figure out why tinfoil doesn't make their jets stealth.

"Officials" have confirmed what they've been parading around is (or rather was) in fact our drone. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/12/08/iranian-tv-airs-purported-images-downed-us-drone/?test=latestnews

Not all military, but it's an awesome video-

AF has just announced cutting all their demo teams with the exception of the Raptor and T-Birds. Makes perfect sense, since the F-35 is going to "replace" the F-15, F-16, and A-10 anyway, why not start prematurely like they did with the rest of the fleet...

Add the AF to the mix... The punch of a 20MM for messing up small craft would be nice, but they could always just get the 60G external mounts. They can be both set to fixed forward and released in seconds. One can make a pass with both GAU-2's or Gau-18's, while the FE and gunner can still break...

...and anytime you think you have uniform problems, just remember it could always be the Air Force.

Saw these on another forum. Not sure what it's for, but it certainly looks interesting.

For inquiring minds.... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6554713845142828957

Some Phrogs conducting a mock raid from onboard-

Posted this over in the general mil pic thread, but it belongs here. Some crazy German 53 pilots over in the 'stan- The dude in the car at 3:16 must have needed a serious change of underwear... I don't know why, but Europeans seem to have a totally different definition of "low" than we do.

In keeping with the current trend of "..... Alaska" shows, the Weather Channel has a new show about the Coast Guard Air Station up in Kodiak. It's on at 9 and 11 EST Wednesdays. Surprised no one's mentioned it on here, or maybe I missed the thread. So far I've been favorably impressed, they...

This is the Embraer propaganda video and it mentions something about a FLIR pod, not sure if it's for targeting as well.

Fixed- Raw footage- Looked like he either wasn't belted in or that seat didn't stand up all that well.

If we're going on looks alone the Super T wins hands down. If that's not enough, internal .50's should seal the deal. FF to 4:20 for some BFM. It may not be relevant but who cares, it sure as hell looks like fun!

Another awesome video, a really low Rhino show from NAS Oceana this year. With that sort of weather I have to imagine there were some ridiculous vapes.

...and the STOVL mafia moves in. Despite being taken so personally, most people aren't arguing the capability or MEU's are totally useless. It's awesome to have, but it's simply not worth compromising our air superiority for the next half century to retain what is essentially a niche capability.

People wonder why I love helos... (starts getting good around 1:10) English-

Total shot in the dark here as per usual, but it would seem without a RADALT it's lot easier to say "well that looked like 500/300/100ft to me..." than when the actual number was staring you in the face from the HUD tape. I'm sure someone who knows will chime in, but even if he had one, at the...

Oddly enough this found its way to baseops first, but I figured it would be appreciated over here. VR-202-

If you want to know one of the things that's seriously wrong with this country, see above. I will rarely give the Europeans credit for anything, but this area of their legal system is one of the few things they've gotten right. Using this logic we should probably never let a plane leave the...

Excellent quote, never heard that before. Unfortunately these days it seems more like "we're sending you in to fight, but only after we declaw you."

At first thought stealing a tank sounds absurd, but once you're in and rolling what's the gate guard going to do... yell stop? His M4 would be about as effective as spit balls. This was also linked to that video. Talk about another crazy thing to steal and drive on the public streets...

Both of these are HD and best watched full screen. I believe they were shot with a Contour HD. This one is from the WSO's perspective, but it's an awesome view of Chicago-

Sort of like all the people in the early to mid 00's who forgot to read the fine print and found out the hard way every enlistment is 8 years. The only duration you "choose" is what portion of that you'd like to be active vs. IRR, but that's not important since no one ever gets called up from...
