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

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 […]
Helicopter ride through the city of Rio de Janeiro

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 […]
