From wimp.com. There are popups, so keep your scanner & blocker software turned on. All of them are work safe. The case & the aerobatics champs are probably my favorite.

The Chase in Highdef on my 52" always a crowd pleaser for parties

Aerobatic championship, still great vid, but a bit tinted by what happened the next day after the video was shot:cry

What happened Frenchy?? Don't really know who the different pilots are, or when it was shot. The only aerobatic show pilots I've seen on several occasions are Sean Tucker & Kent Gordon (who did, imho, the craziest freaking thing I've ever seen at an airshow... hovering).

For me, the best airshow pilot was Xavier DeLapparent, he actually invented new figures and his book "The 4-minute freestyle" is a bible for airshow aerobatics.

He also did some hovering and 180 degree changes of direction in less than a second. It has to do with reinforced engines, and oversized propellers and control surfaces.

Great videos BTW!!

The link says the pilot is Alexandre Krotov, and he actually did survive the crash. There's definately alot worse places to auger than 100m from the race track's medical center. I've heard from a few that have gone over to Japan though that the medical care isn't nearly the quality you'd think, and it's horrendously expensive. One person whined that they try to perscribe suppositories for anything and everything.
