A switch to another doc for the while. Have some more of that Lanc doc in the pipeline. MW here is something more up to date on Red Flag. Last night they had some stuff on Jetstream which I made into 4 min clips... a bit on the B17 too.

I had another look at the ending... hey, it wasn't my fault! Yippeeee!

MW here is the one Lanc clip I missed out....

The Battle of Berlin, corkscrew evasion and how horrid is was to fly on a raid.

Good video Roy, some good footage.

Royzee617 · 02-24-2006, 05:29 PM

More Red Flag.

Gnomey · 02-24-2006, 08:09 PM

Interesting one Roy.

Royzee617 · 02-28-2006, 03:22 AM

Red Flag encore.... F16 Aggressors, F-15Es etc. Once again too much talking heads yakety yak... some treats coming this week though as we journey back in time to WW2....

BTW I have been wandering around the web looking at some other forums.

We are so lucky with AWW2 that we can post chunky files. None of the others let you do more than post pix.

FL350 forum was quite good with people positing refs to vid clips. Might link them here in due course.

Good stuff Roy, thankfully less talking in that one. Look forward to the WW2 ones.

Viggen lands - turns around then departs the way it came...

Saw this routine at the Farnboro airshow years ago... awesome beast. Big engine, big thrust reverser, big AB, big brakes and no chute.

Gnomey · 02-28-2006, 02:21 PM

Good clip Roy, considering it didn't have a chute that was impressive stopping...

Royzee617 · 02-28-2006, 04:18 PM

Made for short runaways (aka roads) and minimal groundcrew jobs like repacking chutes and arrestor gear.

pbfoot · 02-28-2006, 06:56 PM

the beauty of thrust reversers

Royzee617 · 03-01-2006, 08:26 AM

Great notion - wonder if they use em in combat - ho ho. Harrier-style!

But it's an extra maintenance job and you are lugging more weight around. Poss have to adjust aerodynamics and trim etc.

Real treat for you today - the new to the UK Curtiss Hawk 75A at IWM Duxford.

This is a bit of an experiment - edited out some of the talking head stuff.... even tho it is Stephen Grey the cut cut is irritating.

Also I tried to take a screenshot... not obvious how to do this on the PC. You get the player but there's no still from the video... so I had to snap the LCD screen with my digicam, upload that to the PC and PS it. Argh! Hence the lower quality - a still from the wmv, maybe over the w/e I will try one with the higher res vid.

Good video Roy, enjoyed that one.

Royzee617 · 03-01-2006, 09:34 AM

Thanks. Tell your friends!
