This is pretty wtf (warning, possibly graphic and Jihadtards). Posted over at Jalaopnik earlier, I'm not sure how long it'll last on YouTube before somebody gets offended and pulls it. I thought poo poo like this only happened in Hollywood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTmRZn98XxI&t=16s

Any comments on who's fault this was? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvcN-0PikEU From a purely uneducated standpoint, I'd say the pilot of the biplane is at fault. Is it even legal to fly that low in a populated area? Granted it's over an airfield, but jeez...

So this is a pretty cool vid...HOLY gently caress JESUS (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ZXmhAM4DiNU#t=84) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXmhAM4DiNU Pilots out there, how close was that? Because from a lamens point of view, I hear about ATC making GBS threads itself when planes get too close to one another, and I swear I heard about a story where ATC was getting flack for allowing planes within 1NM of each other. This is A LOT closer...

I'm moving to New Zealand. These videos are sort of old but apparently they have actual P-40's flying around with operational .50 cal's. I'm not sure if they're owned by the military or if some very happy greybeards are running around making fake strafing runs on some very scared cows. Either way, it's loving awesome. Those fuckers have to be loud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTYGDVrZQPI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3T5QkFg6cw They sound like mini A-10's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO3gE7VA0Hs

MrYenko posted:Air shows are almost always propane-fueled machine gun simulators. These guys: http://youtu.be/niJ82YCiuYU are the only ones I know of to arm a WWII fighter with actual, live guns and ammunition. And even then, they showed six M2s on the bench, and the airplane only had four onboard for the test.) I also don't know that they've ever flown it armed, or fired them airborne, if they have. Just found some pics and can confirm that they were blanks. It still doesn't make it any less badass (ok, well, maybe a LITTLE. But still...)  You can clearly see that they are blanks in this photo

Well this is frankly terrifying to watch http://visir.is/myndband-af-flugslysinu-vid-hlidarfjallsveg/article/2014140109540 Hotdogging pilot buzzes racetrack and wings into the ground at high rate of speed. Kills both passengers but somehow survives.

Saw this on the Aviation sub-reddit today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4D6GxkPMgs I'm assuming that the seawater mixed with the massive amount of poo poo that was expelled out of the pilots and co-pilots anus's left a pretty nasty smell in the cockpit.

Spaced God posted:Actually they had run out of JATO bottles. Fat Albert's last JATO was the last JATO in the entire Marine Corps Man, that sucks. I never knew that they had a limited supply of them, although in hindsight I suppose that it's obvious. The last time I watched Fat Albert had to have been close to 20 years ago, too bad my kids will never see that.

If you accpet that the minimal number of new fighters Canada needs is 65, and that we shouldn't spend more than $9 billion purchasing a new fighter fleet, the F-35 is now out of the running thanks to the Canadian Dollar.
