Mirage F1 low level action in Chad
These pilots probably have the time of their lives in Chad. No restrictions, no nothing… just man and machine in a great playground. The Mirage F1 is a very rugged airplane suited to the conditions in Chad where it performs aerial reconnaissance missions. These missions are known as “leisure missions” since pilots have quite a […]
Warthog power
Built around the 30 mm Gatling gun, the Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is one of the most amazing aircraft in the world, and also one of my favorites. A rugged airplane, the Warthog or simply Hog is a true tank in the skies with one mission: to bring hell to the enemy. It can launch […]

Stars of the event were the Sukhoi Su-27s and the MiG-29s belonging to the Russian Knights air display team and the Strizhi ( Swifts ). Great in cockpit footage showing formation flying and approach to the parade. Best […]

Airbus A319 going ballistic
An Airbus A319 pilot was falling behind schedule this particular day. So he really really wanted to take off as soon as possible. Only he took off a bit too quickly… wonder what happened to the coffee of the passengers ha ha ha… Really cool takeoff.
Huge RC B-52 bomber
This is one really huge radio controlled B-52 bomber. Of course, it seems a bit natural since the B-52 is a huge plane in real life, so once you shrink it down to scale it still dwarfs other RC aircraft. Makes everything else look like a cheap toy.
