Another goodie, but as it's dated from last year it may have already been posted:

Fighter Pilot (Operation Red Flag)

Just enjoyed a great 48 odd minutes watching this one

Yes I saw this on the big IMAX theatre at the science museum in LA a while ago. Very impressive on the big screen.

A Sopwith Triplane comes in a tad too low, landing gear catches fence, plane crashes. Pilot is fine, plane is getting fixed:

...and a nice belly-cam footage of a SU-24 doing bombing practice:

Two simple but effective fix's on the U2 .. little piece off string , basically there to tell the pilot hes still flying forward ( only a 12 MPH) at that alt between going to fast and breaking up or to slow ya fall out off the sky , other simple fix is the maps and mission data taped on cockpit roof as a sun shield ! Technology aye cool.gif

This plane started it's life with Pan Am, and it's nice to see they acknowledge her history and she still carries a "Clipper" name (There is one painted on her side)...

Mainly for Star Wars fans:

This is an awesome footage of the fictional "Frankfurt Imperial Starport", must have been weeks of work put into it:
