Chino Warbirds 2012
Here's a clip of some fly-by stuff, not BoB but purty darn cool!
Crank it up to 1080 HD full screen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtVaacHWQ1c |
I grew up just a few miles away from Chino..
As a kid I would be out feeding the horses and a P51, F4u, B25, P38, etc would fly over my house all the time.. As a kid I just figured eveyone had WWII planes flying over thier house.. I use to ride my bike over to Chino and watch the guys restore the planes. It wasnt until I was much older that I realised how lucky I was! As a mater of fact, when I decided to move in 2006, one of the biggest reasons to not move was Chino! ;) It is about the only things I miss about CA! ;) |
Many thanks for posting.
NZ also is the home of Peter Jackson's WW1 aircraft creations. He of movie fame and Dam Buster remake. And something to do with Lord of the Rings...:cool: Has the NZ Air Force been disbanded? Best Regards, MB_Avro |
They might as well do just that Avro, there's no fighter wing now hasn't been for a number of years since they mothballed the Skyhawks. A lot of the pilots I believe went and joined the Australian Air Force. About the only thing NZ Air Force has now is a Transport wing and maintainence unit, if the pilots want single engine flying they fly their own or pilot for someone else at air shows( apart from their red checkers display unit which I believe is also used for pilot training). Our A/F is mainly used now for transporting troops, coastal servailance, search and resque and transporting VIP's. But yes they are finally mothballing their Hewey's and getting some modern helicoptors. On the bright side we do have a couple of very good air shows, one at Wanaka and the other at Omaka (both in the South Island). Both run every 2 years, Wanaka was at Easter this year and Omaka Easter next year. Omaka is very WW1 orientated (son and I went last year and enjoyed it enough to book our accommodation again for next year) here's the web site for you to have a look at.

At one stage the running joke was that the most effective fighter force in NZ was the Alpine Fighter Collection's bevy of restored Polikarpov I-16's :D
In reality New Zealand has no aircraft carrier and no immediate local threats requiring any sort of fighter commitment. |
Your'e right there Galway, but we've got a few Spitfires a hurricane,Corsair,Yak3,P51,P40's and a collection of WW1 stuff. We can still frighten the hell out of a lot of seagulls.

Very true, also about 4 -SE5a's , Mosquito, Fw190. By the way the Fw190 was supposed to have flown in the 2011 Omaka Classic Fighters but had trouble practice day, It took off and we thought good it will come back across the Airfield with a high speed run shortly but no. It dissapeared into the distance and was over 30min before it came back and landed. The word was that it had landing gear problem and there was a possibility that it might have to have wheels up landing. From what the rumor was is that a relay operating the landing gear solonoid was faulty and after the pilot had called for help on the issue the relay was able to be by-passed and he got the gear down and locked. That was the end of the Fw190 display for the weekend. They have everything going sweet now and are all set for Easter 2013.
Yippee I'll be there |

Typhoon Documentary
Nicknamed the Tiffy in RAF slang, the Typhoon's service introduction in mid-1941 was also plagued with problems, and for several months the aircraft faced a doubtful future.However, in 1941 the Luftwaffe brought the formidable Focke-Wulf Fw 190 into service: the Typhoon was the only fighter in the RAF inventory capable of catching the Fw 190 at low altitudes and, as a result, secured a new role as a low-altitude interceptor. Through the support of pilots such as Roland Beamont the Typhoon also established itself in roles such as night-time intruder and a long-range fighter. From late 1942 the Typhoon was equipped with bombs; from late 1943 ground attack rockets were added to the Typhoon's armoury. Using these two weapons, the Typhoon became one of the Second World War's most successful ground-attack aircraft. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qexMo...eature=related Interesting documentary. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. |
Very interesting. Thanks for posting this up.

RAF P-40 Kittyhawk found frozen in time deep in the Sahara
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...esertWreck.jpg
The almost perfectly preserved Kittyhawk P-40 is an aviation time capsule that has remained unseen and untouched since it came down in the Sahara in June 1942. It is thought the pilot survived the crash and initially used his parachute for shelter before making a desperate and futile attempt to reach civilisation by walking out of the desert. The RAF airman, believed to have been Flight Sergeant Dennis Copping, 24, was never seen again. The single-seater fighter plane was discovered by chance by Polish oil company worker Jakub Perka exploring a remote region of the Western Desert in Egypt. The location is about 200 miles from the nearest town. Most of its cockpit instruments are intact and it still had it guns and ammunition before they were seized by the Egyptian military for safety reasons. There are also signs of the makeshift camp the pilot made alongside the fuselage. No human remains have been found but it is thought the pilot's decomposed body may lay anywhere in a 20 mile radius of the plane. The RAF Museum at Hendon, north London, has been made aware of the discovery and plans are under way to recover the aircraft and display it in the future. A search will also be launched in the slim hope of finding the remains of the lost airman. The defence attache at the British embassy in Cairo is due to visit the scene in the near future in order to officially confirm its discovery and serial number. But there are fears over what will be left of it after locals began stripping parts and instruments from the cockpit for souvenirs and scrap. Historians are urging the British government to step in sooner rather than later and have the scene declared as a war grave so it can be protected before the plane is recovered. Andy Saunders, a military aviation historian, said: "The aviation historical world is hugely excited about this discovery. "This plane has been lying in the same spot where it crashed 70 years ago. It hasn't been hidden or buried in the sand, it has just sat there. "It is a quite incredible time capsule, the aviation equivalent of Tutankhamun's Tomb. It is hundreds of miles from anywhere and there is no reason why anyone would go there." Mr Saunders said there was evidence the Ft Sgt Copping survived the crash as there evidence he used the plane for shelter and tried to restart it. But inevitably he would have walked to his death. "Once he had crashed there nobody was going to come and get him," he said. "It is more likely he tried to walk out of the desert but ended up walking to his death. It is too hideous to contemplate." Flt Sgt Copping was the son of a dentist and came from Southend, Essex. In 1942 he was a member of the RAF's 260 Squadron, a fighter unit based in Egypt during the North Africa campaign. By June of that year the Allies were retreating from 'Desert Fox' Erwin Rommel and his German forces. On June 28 Ft Sgt Copping and another airman were tasked with flying two damaged Kittyhawk P-40 planes from one British airbase in northern Egypt to another for repair. During the short flight Ft Sgt Copping lost his bearings, went off course and was never seen again. Ft Sgt Copping's name appears on the El Alamein war memorial. It is not thought that there are any immediate family members of his left in the UK. Captain Paul Collins, the British defence attache to Egypt, confirmed there will be a search carried out of the area around the plane in the hope of finding his remains. The Kittyhawk was an American manufactured plane used by the RAF in its desert campaign.[The Telegraph] |

At least it wont need sandblasting before the paint

A cheesy 80's music vid with the nicest looking Swedish fighter: J35 Draken
With actual pilots singing too if I'm not too desinformed... :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh97ixM1fv8 |
Cheers!
Drakens are a cool looking plane! |
If you're a Mig 21 fan as I am you'll love this. Music is perfect for the subject!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zL6iONasIM |
nice found !
The 21 is one of my fav too |
With all those talking about perf measurement downto half a knot and arguing about how many feet wider was that type of plane turn radius, here is a wonderful document of how it really happens when all the talking is over...

Ah yes, the "aluminum overcast".
If you have not stood next to (or rather under) one you cannot get a real grasp of the scale of that aircraft. It is simply amazing. |
One of the very few USAF aircraft that has the piston engines are facing the right way. :)

High above the horizon... in the dark of space*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=VBnkbeGLGk4 One though to J.Adams The best book I have read on this story is this one from Thompson, one of the test pilot of the NASA (ex-Bell) . In this book you have the detailled retranscrition of radio com during the last tragic flight of Adams. A thrilling read when his plane departed at hypersonic flight during re-entry (I am in a spin... I am in a spin) - nothing he could hve done with such primary flight ctrls ~S *far far away from our digressions...

37 min of REAL COLOR FOOTAGE OF THE MEMPHIS BELLE OVER GERMANY
Hi,
for those still in interest with Aircraft Vid and able to pull out their eyes out of the visor of their favorite mount, here is the original COLOR video of the Memphis Belle story. This footage was filmed during the doomed days of 1943 where the Mighty eight soared to its legendary status as we know it today. The film gets you aboard the Memphis Belle during a mission over Germany without fighter escort. Enjoy the shear beauty of the Belle and the gruesome terror of the Luftwaffe's Bête (beast). 17and 24 against strays of attacking 190 and 109. All this in COLOR for REAL and during 37 min! Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML_uU...eature=related |

This was covered when the aircraft was first discovered earlier this year.
The aircraft was flying alone on a ferry flight to a repair depot to fix it's landing gear, which were stuck in the down position. It was seen to fly off course and was never heard from or seen again till this year. The aircraft has since been looted and vandalized by local Arabs and is probably now a total loss. |
Japaneze Kamikaze - color footage
Hi all,
Here is one the best story telling on the subject I have seen so far. Color footage, complete description of the events and mention of the sociological roots and background that led the Japan toward this extreme measure. The only thing that I can think against it is the fact that they seemed to have choose deliberately to put aside the atrocities committed by the JA that marked a trend toward the disrespect of human life among their Generals as a way to speed up their career. Anyway, fantastic footage and a very mature comment. You can see color archive of a flight of Betty carying Aka being intercepted by F6 Hellcat !! part 1 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vzz_...eature=related Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRRjG9V4t1k Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=yxss-MGLDPk Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=P6ClLyVHF6g Enjoy ! ~S PS: To all that keep posting their encouragements or simply thanks, please be sure that I do appreciate your encouragement even if I do not reply :) |

This may have been posted before but just in case. There's some good stuff in there. |
Here is a new one, slightly different from all the others.
The story tells us the fascinating project of the Daedalus flight in 1988, a recreation of the legendary flight across the Aegean see by man powered flight. You can find inside good stuff about lifting theory, easily explained and the importance of modern computer sciences (Computational Fluid Dynamics - CFD) in the quest for the most efficient design. Myth : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daedalus Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZjH...feature=relmfu Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhlt...feature=relmfu Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdwL...feature=relmfu Enjoy ! |
An aircraft is a vehicle that is able to fly by gaining support from the air, or, in general, the atmosphere of a planet. It counters the force of gravity by using either static lift or by using the dynamic lift of an airfoil, or in a few cases the downward thrust from jet engines.
Although rockets and missiles also travel through the atmosphere, most are not considered aircraft because they do not have wings and rely on rocket thrust as the primary means of lift. The human activity that surrounds aircraft is called aviation. Crewed aircraft are flown by an onboard pilot, but unmanned aerial vehicles may be remotely controlled or self-controlled by onboard computers. Aircraft may be classified by different criteria, such as lift type, propulsion, usage, and others. |
Hi all,
here is a new video about the how to fly and fight in the P-39. I selected this one as there is a good share of info about tight turning an airplane, fly in formation, stall, spin, rudder use during acrobatic flight, firing pass etc... Enjoy !

Today I suggest to come down with an F16 pilot above the Serbian air defence hit by what appear to be a SA3 (modernized).
There is not much to see in this vid but more to ear. Please take attention to the radio chatter and the remarkable markmanship of Hammer3. Understand also the nervous tension of his wingmen with some of the voices switching to little girl tone as much depicted during WWII. Copying and pasting two good comments, here is the resumé of the action... Enjoy ! Originaly posted by Tani: In this video Crack 73 is a SEAD (suppression of enemy air defense) escort and Hammer flight appears to be a interdiction or BAI flight SoA: 1:36 Crack 73 fire AGM-88 at an SA-6 bearing 100 2:05 Crack 73 detects anti-aircraft artillery radar on RWR 3:08 Enemy Radar/emitter in active mode warning 3:10 Hammer 3 detects SA-3 north 3:20 Hammer 3 taking evasive against SA-3 launch, heading 060, gets hit, probably left 3:33 Crack 3 taking evasive 3:58 Crack 3 fires an AGM-88 at the SA-3 which ambushed the package, at, bearing 154 for 24 miles 4:02 SA-3 launch on Hammer 2, Hammer one tells his wingman to brake (probably seeing the missile) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orv8-...eature=related |

It's a typical BlitzPig landing.
We have done it that way for years in IL2, and now in CloD. It's called a combat landing. Come in hot and sometimes under fire, usually out of ammo too, dragging your foe behind you. He thinks he is going to get an easy kill. MUHAHAHAHA!!!! Either the flak pops him or it's a great set up for a drag and bag as the bad guy dumps a bunch of speed to try to get a hit on his "easy" target and suddenly finds himself being the trophy in the cross hairs. |

Dramatic footage include a double canon Mig kills in color. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KTe4lHLlcs There is also somewhere the original footage from where many of the sequences shown in this episode of Wings were extracted (look on Youtube for USAF doc There Is a Way - F-105 Jets _ United States Air Force 1967 Educational Documentary).

Columbia Space Shuttle Disaster
What about the tale of Man flight without that of the space adventure ?
Truly linked to the legendary flights of a Bleriot, a Lindberg or les aventuriers de l'aeropostale, the space flight program bear the foot print of our legendary heroes: each step still stand on the pioneering side. Columbia was a disaster that still have much to tell on that. You might hve some interest watching this 50+ min documentary of her last flight... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhoAisKO6ZM PS: regarding Alpha's post on the Mosquito, one of my best read on that subject was this one : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Night-Flyer-...ref=pd_sim_b_2 Highly recommended! |
(WWII) The USN Navy in color: The fighting Lady (Yorktown)
Hi,
For those that didn't get a chance to view that classics, here it is. The footage is stunning (heroic and real), in color, with on board camera. You will see USN planes during strafing, dive bombing and also some well known guncam. My favorite sequence might be the shooting down of a Japanese H8K by a horde of hellcats (who's talking abt Dogfights)!! Here is the most interesting comment I hve found on this documentary: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036823/reviews?ref_=tt_urv It's 1hr long.

I've always wondered what really happened and of course, the industry (and news) finds revelations all too boring and would rather report on what Miley C. is wearing. Now, I'm hoping that the industry 'self-corrects' to avoid this. Though apparently, current events say otherwise, unfortunately. |
