    Back when I used to work for a farmer in Washington state the military would do practice runs with c-130s out in almost the middle of nowhere. We'd all be just chilling in our tractors baleing hay. Then all the sudden there'd be 5-8 c-130s flying over with there back doors open. They would drop crates, people, hummers, utv's, atv's, and pretty much what every they could fit inside. It was so cool to watch because they'd drop only a few miles away and seeing the sky scattered with parachutes is an awesome sight.

    Beautiful video, imagine being paid to be allowed to fly like that as these guys do! One F15 did look like he had to overbank to get around the corner, The Tornado was exceptional but the F15 E's are a personal favourite. The sequence at the end with the C130's and the fog layer was inspired. And no cheesy music either - just as it should be.

      I hear that sound in my sleep. I was a Chinook pilot in Nam. The big “thump thump” sound plus the screaming of the forward transmission that was just above the pilot’s heads. Oddly, the sound quiets down a bit in a full power climb. At least on the inside. I’m sure all the former Chinook crews have bad hearing just like mine. Nearly deaf in the high frequencies.

      @juniors.6085 Před 4 lety +3

      @Derp 101 If you are a pilot in jet with ejector seats, thats a very different situation. If you are in a fixed wing, and your engine goes down, with a full load of passengers, youre going to have a lot of injuries, and potentially fatalities. Rotary wing, the pilot can auto rotate down, and touch down with very little impact. In Canada, pilots have to re certify their auto rotation skills every year, in order to fly commercially. So yes, as a usual passenger, helicopters are the way to go, if that engine is going to fail.

    I used to occasionally see C17's at exercises at the former Castle AFB in California. I will say, never should you underestimate a US Air Force pilot's ability to impress a bunch of Marines sitting (plastered to the floor) in the back. Vortices with significant vapor cones off the wingtips. Must have been pulling some pretty good G's for such heavy iron. Those C17's convincingly act like they are aerial sports cars the way I've seen them flown around the pattern.
    This was wonderful cinematography in a beautiful setting. Well done!

    I've worked in the aviation industry for 40 years on the maintenance side. Worked on helicopters at first. Both military and civilian. Currently with American Airlines as an FAA certified mechanic. I've been on many joyrides in all kinds of different aircraft. I see F-16s daily at Tulsa, Oklahoma. International airport.
    I pretty jaded when it comes to aircraft videos, but your videos are absolutely stunning. Keep up the good work. I'm waiting with bated breath for your next videos.

    The vivid perspective of the back drop really makes these stunning aircraft pop. Seeing the C17 like that made it look so energetic and galvanised.

      @simonm1447 Před 2 lety

      Since they have a very high wing load they offer the calmest low level flight of all western jets.
      This however affects the maneuverability, a reason why the ADV version was never a success

      @simonm1447 Před 2 lety

      @@NavySeal2k that's right. This is the planned role for the tornado, low and fast, with a terrain following radar. It's a specialist, but that makes it less capable in other roles, like the ADV role where it suffers under the low turn rates due to the high wing load.
      It's a fighter bomber, no interceptor.

    Brings back memories of Gerry Knapp, a U.S. Airforce fighter pilot out of Lakenheath, Norfolk. Gerry and his buddy were ‘bivvied’ at The Golden Lion Hotel in Hunstanton, Norfolk in c 1963/4 where I was the trainee hotel manager. Gerry and his lovely wife and I took to each other, so much so that when they got a flat (apt) across the green from our hotel they treated me to dinner there.
    It amazes me still that they would leave the hotel at about 8 a.m. for the 30 minute drive to Lakenheath and return before 5 pm. I asked them one time where they had flown that day and was amazed when they nonchalantly told me...’Oh, Denmark, Germany, Austria, North Africa and Spain !!’.
