Messerschmitt Bf-109G Airshow demo
The Messerschmitt Bf-109, sometimes referred to as the Me-109, was the backbone of the German Air Force during WW II. Only a few survive to this day, but the few remaining airplanes are really quite a sight to see.
Speed and noise
I just love high speed passes. In areas of relatively high humidity, as the aircraft zooms by at high speed, water vapor condenses into droplets, resulting in spectacular images. Check out this F-18 Hornet as it zooms by.
Magic Carpet Ride
Have you ever wondered what it would be like on board a US Navy F-18 Hornet? Come along for this magic ride. Great on board camera footage combined with a really spectacular soundtrack. Steppenwolf – Magic carpet Ride.
F-16 freaky low flyby
This Viper pilot really managed to entertain. You can quite hear the “Wows” and “Uhas” as he takes his F-16 Falcon on a really low flyby at high speed. Great stuff!

Sea Knight overboard
A US Navy Ch-46 Sea Knight comes in to land. Only problem is the pilot doesn’t really do it well. Consequence? The helicopter falls short of the helipad and hits the drink.
Proximity alert
These two Puma helicopters were trying to do a nice formation pass over the crowd. In terms of proximity, they were flying at the limit. And when they went beyond that limit, all hell broke loose. Their rotor blades collided sending both helicopters in uncontrolled spins to the ground.
No reaction
A Russian Sukhoi Su-27 pilot tries to do a Split-S maneuver that ends in tragedy. He virtually plows the crowd with his jet, as people run scared in all directions. What is amazing is not the crash itself, or even the great fireball. Check out the soldier that calmly watches the scenes unfold and he […]
Point Mugu Airshow F-4 Phantom crash
Things started out quite well with this demonstration. Until the last jet peeled off. Engines seemed to flame out, listen to the commentator saying all there is to be said and then look out for the BANG. That about sums it up.
