AVIATION THE BEST AND WORST
AVIATION THE BEST AND WORST, I havent made a music video for a while and I have lots of plane shorts so I knocked this up from most of the footage and put on Guns n Roses November Rain as the soundtrack I have also written up an extensive video info section so read it before you make any when did this happen type comments AIRCRAFT IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE Boeing 747 This Video is very widely distributed a 747 taking off just before the end of the runway and passing less than 100 feet over plane spotters Another B747 Performing a crosswind landing Another B747 Landing at St Maarteen Airport The Airport has one 2345 meter long runway 09/27 and the 747 is landing on runway 09 in which the threshold is only 80 meters away from a beach the end of the runway only 2 meters away If you want to see more amazing videos of this look up the airport on YouTube Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe the worlds first turbojet fighter aircraft which first flew in 1941 with piston engines and 5 years later with jet engines The only two countries that used this plane were Germany and Czechoslovakia respectively the Czechs retired these planes in 1957 Boeing 777 Performing a Crosswind Landing Lockheed Martin F 35 Lightning Joint Strike Fighter VTOL Vertical Take Off and Landing Australia wishes to purchase around 100 JSFs to replace the aging F18 Hornets and F111s Extra 300 flown by Peter Besenyei a world renown Hungarian Aerobatics Pilot in Japan 2006 He also participates frequently in the Red Bull Air Race Sukhoi Su 31 The Pilot is Svetlana Kapanina a world champion aerobatics pilot F/A 18 Hornet Carrier launch catapault RA 5C A5 Vigilante A High Performance Supersonic Jet Bomber made for the US Navy Boeing B 17 Flying Fortress Takeoff from Seat overlooking engines 1 and 2 on the port wing Filmed during Takeoff on a shitty day Unsure of the next aircraft but apparently the pilot is Peter Besenyei Beyond stupidity but Bloody Amazing! Aero Commander Shrike In the cockpit with Bob Hoover at the controls In a barrel roll there are no forces acting on the plane If performed correctly of both acceleration or gravitational load forces That is why the iced tea was able to be poured even though the plane was upside down An Amazing pilot and video! F 14 Tomcat Performing a high speed low altitude pass of a carrier The speed was probably around 550 600 knots or 990 to 1080 km/h subsonic that was not a sonic boom but still producing a very loud 120dB+ sound Look at the water! Grumman S 2 Tracker it barely has enough speed to rotate let alone cope with all the drag obtained from flying into the wave but it still manages to climb out F 14 Tomcat Another Tomcat performing a high speed low altitude pass of a carrier The speed was probably closer to 650 knots or 1170 km/h barely subsonic that was not a sonic boom probably even transonic if you notice the large cloud forming called the Prandtl Glauert singularity Boeing 707 Filmed during its flight tests The pilot Tex Johnson performed during this flight a barrel roll much to the dismay of his employers However the military were viewing the flight and they were so impressed at the manoeuvring capabilities of the passenger jet and signed a contract with Boeing to produce military aircraft Tex was not fired for his stunt just asked not to do it again McDonnell Douglas RAF GR7 Harrier The Harrier in High speed flight very widely distributed video of it passing just meters over the heads of the military personnel on the ground C 130 Hercules The famous Angel Flares F 22 Raptor A tail view of the newest most high tech plane in the world The Raptor has performed brilliantly in its tests apart from some minor flaws Extra 300 Not much I can say about this one
