2012 Raytheon award video F-15's

[Gnarly Gnu]

Some sweet air machines.... the GoPro cameras seem to work real well when there is no propeller involved.

 

"For a year, F-15 fighter pilots used mountable GoPro Hero cameras to capture footage that was compiled in a video to commemorate the 67th Fighter Squadron winning the 2011 Raytheon Trophy for outstanding aerial achievement."

How the hell do you pull a 6g turn and still manage to lift your head up to look around?

 

Hats off!

Great footage and music. Imagine flying like that. Wow.

 

 

[Ultralights]

I watched a SBS doco on the RAAF pilots. There is a kiwi/aussie ex RNZAF now RAAF ,who is a top hornet fighter pilot.He goes to the physio alot to have his neck fixed up due to the strain of pulling G's and looking for bogies at the same time.
