And a more modern take ...

Back when gliding was a new thing.

I was at Farnborough in 1996, and one of the standout performances was by the Sukhoi 37, which the pilot had literally standing on its tail. It was a beautiful looking jet too.

Sounds like the pilot managed to communicate very well considering.

They used that method to teach you to fly a perfect 360 when I was learning. If you can feel your wake as you close the loop, you're good.

It's fake. Story here DragonAir 737 Caught In Typhoon? No, This Is A Fake Video

I've been following his channel too lately. I wouldn't mind having just 10% of his energy and can do attitude. I think I'm more of a Project Binky man.

Thanks for posting, there are some great videos there, I'll be working my way through them. I suppose everyone has seen Henry TrikeLife's channel, but if not, it's worth a look also.

I notice the military guys were the first to run away from the scene.

What type of battery?

Its amazing how much damage an airliner can take and still keep flying.

My first solo was in a PA38 at Archerfield and as I waited for clearance to line up, a warbird pulled up behind me . I don’t know what it was, but it looked big. I’m glad I wasn’t aware of that photo at the time!

Good move Phil. If you'd played the polite english gent, you'd probably both be dead now.

They burn the thrusters on the ISS from time to time to keep it up there. Here's a demo of what happens when they do.

Very entertaining.

How to spend millions of dollars in just one second.

Lucky to get out of that alive.

Fixation perhaps. I did a driver training day with Paul Stokell at Morgan Park where they teach you ( among other things ), the skill of looking through the corners, not at the wall rapidly heading your way. The reason is of course, that you tend to steer in the direction you're looking.

G'day Colin. So whats this about a divorce?

Oops

At the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike, "My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor." "Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies. "There's a diagnostic computer down at Aldi. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about It. It takes ten seconds and costs five bucks. A lot quicker and cheaper than a doctor." So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Aldi. He deposits five dollars and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits. Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout: "You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping at Aldi" That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled. He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample from himself for good measure. Joe hurries back to Aldi's, eager to check the results. He deposits five dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results. The computer prints the following: 1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9) 2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7) 3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab. 4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer. 5. And If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better. Thank you for shopping at Aldi.

He was very lucky!

Inspired by the R-101 thread, I thought I'd put up this link to a fascinating free doco on YouTube about Lady Grace Drummond Hay and the 1929 circumnavigation of the world by the Zeppelin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4jq7oRxw-g Here's the lady
