I just found few cool looking clips for Gattling Gun in action and video of about 10 plane Crashes that most of us seen before;

Where was the gattling gun action?
Sorry here you go: http://www.big-boys.com/articles/iraqfootage.html
I’d hate to be on the business end of that thing…[wow]
Some of those images were pretty cool though [:D]
Crashes like those are pretty sad and rather hard to watch.
However I noticed in one of them both jet fighter pilots managesd to bail. That was rather nice. But for the most part the pilots all ended up in a fireball. The weirdest crash was the bomber crash. I wonder what happened there?
Another crash, the one involving the vertical take off aircraft, appeared to go wrong from the start. However the pilot, instead of aborting takeoff, continued on and did himself and his crew members in. Bill.
B-52 crash happened when pilot try to do low and slow fly-by and entered a steep left turn. (Which my mom always wants me to fly that way, hehehehe, slow and low). Well with a BIG airplane like B-52 that was a unfortunate end of flight.

The B-52 pilot had always tried to be a hotshot too and frequently violated regulations. Theres plenty of articles and stuff on the internet describing the pilot and his disregard for the regulations.
Is it just me, or do the Russians seem to have unusually bad luck at airshows? I’m thinking all the way back to the Tu-144 (aka “Concordski”) crash at Le Bourget up to recent fighter crashes. However, as these often-seen crashes show, the Russians have a right to their frequent boast of making the best ejection systems in the world.
As for the Frecce Tricolori crash in Germany, where so many spectators died or were horribly burned, most people knowledgable about aviation were just wondering when that accident was going to happen, given the Italian team’s reckless reputation.
The one that has me puzzled is the T-6 crash, where the guy comes out of a simple aileron roll with a bad yaw which results in the airplane swapping ends and going in. Wonder what his problem was? Probably violated one of the first three rules of aerobatic flying, at least as taught to me by my (not coincidentally, late) instructor: 1. Don’t get slow. 2. Don’t get slow. And, no. 3, of course, is the big one: Don’t get slow.
As for the gun footage, some of that nightime stuff that keeps getting repeated in the clip looks suspiciously like it came from the episode of “Monster Garage” where Jesse James destroys the failed build with a mini-gun mounted on the back of a truck.

I remember hearing about that B-52 pilot. His commanding officer was the only on who would fly with him, and the crash was in preperation for a show.
I have a question about that last crash scene. What’s the story behind it? I’ve the pictures over the years but never heard the complete story.Allen
Those ARE tough to watch and it is nice to see chutes. RIP guys/gals.
As for the gatlin gun, remember that only every fifth round is a tracer. That means for every cool little streak of light from the muzzle, there are four more bullets that you can’t see. Now how cool is that?
How come it does not suprise me that the clip comes frmo Dillon Aero?
