Internet Video Thread

Happened upon this video while looking at the Space section on Google News. The song is ok I suppose (a bit too emo/whiny for my liking), but the topic and video are very appropriate for this forum.

 
Watch in HD and fullscreen. You'll love it:

That runway's scary. Slightly short, you're in the trees!

Well, there are plenty of them (short runways, and tress of course) :) Just grass. The friction is an advantage for landing (it seems he did not brake at all) but can be a disadvantage for take off. That's why he pulled the yoke from the beginning of the take off roll (to raise the nose (gear) as early as possible).

But if you are afraid, I think I have the perfect airplane for you which will even make it into your backyard easily: the Piper Super Cub...

Courtesy of the early spinglike weather here in Sacramento, and the return of the pidgeons, I give you:

One more musical vid, quadrotor drones perform a tune from Agent 007. I especially love the percussion part!

Boeing 767-300 take off in Boston (Logan International). It's my favourite airport and city (beside Chicago) although I've never been there in reality for now (only in MSFS and Google Street View :lol:). The General Electric CF6 creates epic noise levels. Watch in HD and fullscreen and turn your speakers up...


Another epic HD wing view take off (either Boeing 737-300 or -500). This time in Milano, Italy...
