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
The German Bo-105 was the first ever twin engined small helicopter in the world. And because of its highly advanced rotor, this little helicopter is capable of performing stunning aerobatic maneuvers. 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
When I saw the first frames of this video I thought it was going to be lame. But after that helo went through a tunnel I thought there might be something to this flick after all. Turns out this one is great. Or at least I think so. You can expect some cool low level […]
Skiing+Paragliding=Extreme Alpine Speed Paragliding
This just shows what you can do when you take some skis, take a paraglider and let gravity do its work. I promised myself to try this crazy combination at least once before I die. Honestly, I’d like to see this stuff at the Winter Olympics. It really does add some spice to skiing.
Bike above, plane below
This is really one very very cool stunt. Stunt bikers have always wanted to jump over all sorts of things, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that this guy chose a plane as his obstacle. Perfect timing, by the way…
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.
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!
Close plane
This guy really has balls as they say. He films this Swedish Gripen as it crashes. And, by the looks of it, the jet crashes really close by. And yet he doesn’t even bother, keeps on filming. The jet stalled after a low speed maneuver at the Stockholm Water Festival on August 8, 1993. Pilot […]
Really bad take-off
Well, I have seen some very bad take-offs in my life. But this one, I have to admit, must one of the worst. I think the airplane in question is a Grumman G-21 Goose flying boat. This type of airplane has been around since the 1930s. Seems such a tragic end for a WWII veteran. […]
Jumbo drag race
Some times commercials can be really funny. Take this one for instance. It’s crazy and funny and great. Two Boeing 747 Jumbo crews battle it out in the airport using their planes. A real laugh. How would you fell if you heard “Your flight is ready for boarding” and then saw two Jumbos with two […]
