Do any of these videos work? I can’t get them to -__-
Nevermind, found a few that do…
Just click on the forward “Play” button in the upper left of the screen when it comes up.

Mike, I know how to watch videos
They just weren’t loading on Quicktime right, is all…
Some nice stuff there, too
Thanks for the link, Mike! I’ve been looking for that first one (405: The Movie) but could never find it online…
Fade to Black…
Man that is absolutely awesome. Some funny, some downright chilling.
My favorite is the flyby with the Spitfire, although it does have a warning about the language. [:D]
That guy was scared to death. [(-D]

Glad you found it finally BlackWolf. That video is a classic. [(-D]

WHOA!!! I had not seen that F-15 midair before. That alone was worth a peruse through those links. Did a little snooping and came up with the following on that incident, if anyone’s interested:
6/20/2003 -LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. (ACCNS) – Officials investigating the March 17 midair collision of two F-15C aircraft on the Nevada Test and Training Range, near Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., have determined the accident occurred when one of the pilots failed to coordinate his flight path with that of his lead pilot.
The mishap pilot ejected and sustained minor injuries before his aircraft was destroyed upon impact with the ground. The aircraft was valued at $31,015,194. The lead pilot sustained no injuries and landed uneventfully after assisting with search and rescue operations. Damage to his F-15 was determined to be $479,632. Both aircraft were assigned to the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron, at Nellis.
According to the Accident Investigation Board report released today by Air Combat Command, the pilots were participating in an Air Combat Maneuvering training mission when the collision occurred. ACM is a basic combat fighter pilot mission in which two aircraft team up to engage a third aircraft simulating the role of an enemy aircraft, or Bandit. The mishap pilot, who was designated the supporting fighter for the engagement, misjudged his leader’s position and failed to coordinate his flight path after taking a simulated shot at the Bandit.

Thanks for the info Wolf, I was wondering what happened to the pilots on that one. Good to know they’re safe. The low flying Jaguar was also a good one. Still have one of the pics you posted of presumably the same a/c? as my wallpaper.
Thanks BlackWolf.
It is always good news to hear that the pilots survived in a video like that.
I am afraid that the midair collision of those two helicopters in that one video was not good news though. I hate seeing footage like that. [:(][V]

Even though I’ve seen the 9/11 attacks over and over, I couldn’t help but watch again. After viewing it, I’m rather emotional and just awed. (pause) I just can’t fathom that it happened, but I saw it when it really occurred. I still can’t believe it. My hatred just boils. I know, this is probably O.T. Hopefully the administrators will let it slide this once. After all, emotional topic, even though it wasn’t meant to be.
I was going to comment on how beautiful the Merlin engine was, but it seemed rather unimportant after watching 9/11 footage.
Hey, Mike -
Thanks for the links, mate! They’re excellent viewing. Pretty awesome displays…
I’m with Eric - watching the strikes against the Twin Towers still angers me - I remember vividly watching it live here in Oz - still amazes me that some people can have that much hate in their hearts.
I know what you mean Lee. [V]

Thanks for the link Mike… cool stuff here(and not so cool[:(]}
[bow]…[bow]…[bow]
Whoaaaa…thanks Mr. V…
it bewitches me how even one person cannot be in awe of aviation…
hours and hours of sheer tranquility…& seconds of sheer terror.
