Man, found this morning looking for ideas for a FS movie ,this is WOW, the commentary for the air display is just classic
its about 10min long but really worth it



check it out if you can

Chinnooks are awesome, I saw one crusin round stonehenge when I was in england.

Dunno if they realise that it's a helicopter not an aeroplane though????

That commenter really annoyed me, talked such drivel in that video.

However, Chinooks really are cool. I always used to hear them fly over in England and they produce such a distinctive noise. I've also been inside one on the ground at an airshow, reminds me very much of the C-130.

Reminds me of the top gear commentary ,most just chit chat and stuff to make you laugh ,it made me laugh big time and i was pretty hooked enough to watch the whole ten min ..
id love to see one working for real ,
pilot and crew have balls of steel mucking around like that

I've been in Chinooks a few times they are not bad to travel in.

They fly over my house every day. As do T4s, Awacs 767s etc. Also see a lot of F15s and F2s.

Then you are located in Japan Mr Grumble?

Yup. From Tauranga, but been living here (Japan) a while. Including a stint working for the Japanese Air Self Defense Forces.

Interesting stuff - would be great if you could post some RW shots of some JASDF a/c sometime if you have any ...and some info on what you did if you feel inclined.

Will do. Can't post any close-up stuff. F2 is, (according to the pilots) a bit crappy. They have some nice AAM tech though, and are just installing the latest (PAC3) version of the Patriot, mainly because the main AWACS base is within missile range of North Korea (and incidentally, less than 3 clicks from my house.)

I also spent some time living on a military base in Saudi Arabia as a teenager, just prior to the gulf war. Got to see English Electric Lightnings, Tornados, F5s, F15s.... and on one memorable occasion, saw Israeli F15s scream in over an unprotected area just to prove to the Saudis that they could (never made it to the media). Saw them testing a patriot (bloody loud that was!).

I heard the japanese F-16 has a stealth coating and a few other gadgets as well. BTW those IF-15s you saw what year was that?

WOW, awesome chopper, I'm going to download one now and try the same routine, the commentator is funny

yippee so im not the only one that though that its bloody funny

best one ive come across is or can be found at HOVERCONTROL under the file name bbch47v11
