Grunherz are you going to bring Voss into every single aviation related thread on this aviation related BBS?

If yes, let me know so I can put you on 'Ignore'. Thanks.

There's a reason why they always state in the briefing, "NO BLIND LEAD TURNS".

1 spool of digital video tape - $5 dollars

2 F-15 Cs - $ 60 million USD

Playing "Bumper Cars" at 250kts and getting it on film?

Priceless.

That deserved an "OWNED" icon.

Damm, all I get when I try to open it is a screen full of code.

Checking out the home page there are several well known videos there including one described as a 'tragic mid-air'. Well it wasn't tragic, only minor injuries. The main apparently being a broken jaw when the pilot of the second Mig caught up with the pilot of the first.

I remember seeing video of one of the pilots casually walking across the field carrying his chute and lighting a cigarette. I'll bet he had something stronger later.

I belive the mig one was tragic cause some were killed on the ground..

No for sure. No one was killed or seriously injured. A few narrow escapes though. The word miraculous was bandied around for a while afterwards. It happened at the 1993 Fairford Airshow in Gloucestershire, England. Still probably the best military airshown in the world.
