Tu-154 landing

The Tupolev Tu-154 is a Russian built medium-range trijet airliner. The mainstay of Russian airlines for several decades, the Tu-154 has carried about half of all passengers flown by Aeroflot and its subsidiaries, or approximately 137 million passengers per year, and has been exported and operated by at least 17 foreign airlines. Join the crew […]

Mirage 2000

The Dassault Mirage 2000 is probably one of the best looking planes in the world. Admire its stunning beauty in this great French Air Force video showcasing the qualities of their jet fighter.

Speed is life

Taking a jet down on the deck guarantees an adrenalin rush like no other. The aircraft feels tight, close to the ground you realize just how fast you are going, your body fills with joy and the feeling becomes addictive. They say speed is life.

Iraqi river run

Ever wondered what it would be like inside an Apache attack helicopter? Ride along these guys as they follow a river somewhere in Iraq. The gunner doesn’t really seem to be too impressed by this… guess this is just another day at work.

Helicopter low pass

Step inside the cockpit as this helicopter performs a low level fly by over the fields. Gotta love the helicopter for giving its pilot the possibility to entertain himself from time to time with some low level action 🙂 I think this helo is a Robinson R-22 but I’m not really sure.

Monster taking off

It’s a very hot day and this Russian Ilyushin Il-76 Candid is full and ready for a 3000 kilometer trip. As it reaches the holding point, the pilots prepare this monster for a very long takeoff run. And boy, it’s gonna be a really long one… the plane takes off right at the end of […]

Long landing at Innsbruck

This Russian pilot comes in to land at the Innsbruck Airport, missing the touchdown point and finally touching down 2/3 of the runway later. Guess some days are better that others…

Kings of Chad

The French really do know how to make good videos. I’ve said this for quite a long time now. Anyway, check out these cool pilots and their Pumas doing some really crazy stuff over the deserts of Chad. That low pass over those three soldiers is really scary. I bet if I were in their […]

Phantom low

There is a saying: “Given enough thrust, even bricks can fly… the F-4 Phantom is proof of that!” Check out this German F-4 Phantom as it pushes the limit further down with every pass. Must have been quite a spectacular sight, especially that last low pass.
