Aerobatic Teams

Old video of aerobatic teams performing at MAKS 2005, the Moscow Air Show. You can see teams like Red Arrows, the Russian Knights, The Swifts, Blue Angels, Frecce Tricolori, the Russ Squadron and Patrouille de France. Great action from these guys. Check it out.

Jurgis Kairys Cobra at takeoff

You probably know who Jurgis Kairys is. He is the Lithuanian pilot flew his plane under a bridge while inverted. Here he is, taking off and pulling hard on the stick resulting in a maneuver similar to the one performed by the Sukhoi Su-27 jet: the Cobra.

Pilots

I actually don’t know if this is a commercial or just a short film. Anyway, it features John Malkovich, two Spitfires and a blonde. Great combination. I especially like John Malkovich’s line: ” There are no real pilots anymore…just people in nifty uniforms who operate computers…” Hilarious!

Bo-105 The Flying Tiger

The German Bo-105 was the first ever twin engined small helicopter in the world. And because of its highly advanced rotor, this little helicopter is capable of performing stunning aerobatic maneuvers. This, I believe, is an old promo video made by MBB, the company that produced the Bo-105. Anyway, this pilot is amazing, flying between […]

Soaring over the Alps

I saw this and brought back some memories. Been two years since I last flew a sailplane. Anyway, here is some beautiful soaring footage taken from a DG-500 sailplane over the Alps. Some aerobatics and a great soundtrack make for a cool video.

Dune of Pyla paragliding

This sand dune in France, called the Dune of Pyla is a 3 kilometer long slice of paragliding paradise. And by the looks of it, it is tonnes of fun. I really enjoyed this vid, it’s funny and crazy. Besides, I’ve just added a new place to go on my vacation.

Plane vs Truck

Jurgis Kayris is a Lithuanian aerobatic pilot and an aircraft engineer. He has won over the years numerous aerobatic championships, created a series of breath taking aerobatic maneuvers ( one of which is the Kairys Wheel ) and also helped develop the famous Russian aerobatic Sukhois: Su-26,29 and 31. He also developed his own aerobatic […]

Skyward – the movie

Here is a great paragliding video I found. 7 minutes of intense paragliding aerobatics combined with a great soundtrack. Lots of helicopters, a croquette and many many more really cool action from these guys. Enjoy!
