Carrier car launch

This is a 20 year old Citroen Visa Gti commercial. Putting a Citroen Visa alongside the Dassault-Breguet Etendard is not really the greatest of ideas, but overall this commercial is quite funny. Especially the submarine at the end. Only the French could come up with such a weird commercial.

First insect-sized robotic fly

Robert Wood, professor at the Harvard University has created the first insect-sized robotic fly. This video shows just how such a thing was possible. Next time when you see a fly buzzing around be careful… you never know, might be Big Brother watching you LOL!

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 […]

2005 Moscow Military Parade

This is some great footage from the 2005 Moscow Military Parade. Must have been quite a sight. 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 […]

Extreme rough landing

Guess this is every passengers nightmare… a very rough landing giving you the scare of a lifetime. The aircraft in question is a BAe 146 and it hits hard. Not the most skillful of pilots, but then again human error counts for more than 80% of aircraft incidents and accidents. I’ve done some bad landings […]

RC indoor aerobatics

It always amazes me to see what this pilots can do with their small radio controlled planes. This is just another example of having a great time with a scale model. Guess you really need some skills to perform this type of aerobatics.

Hogs in formation

The Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single seat close support aircraft designed for the USAF, better known by its nickname: Warthog… or simply Hog. This is one really amazing airplane, a tank in the skies. Built around a 30 mm Gatling gun capable of firing 3900 depleted uranium armor-piercing shells in one minute, the […]
