Post by: mars01 on February 09, 2006, 12:17:27 AM: I finally started putting the footage together from this Event.

It's the first time I ever heard a Hog live let alone two of them.

This is the start up and take off of Sky Boss and 310.

Post by: WindX on February 09, 2006, 02:12:16 PM: and thanks for the great video! Cant wait for the next one! BTW Mars... arent you the one who owns the Pitts bipe? If so was that it that you panned the shot to in the background? Looks like an S2. Those are awesome planes and the one in the vid is beautiful!!! Would love to have one! But I think my fav of all time is the starduster. (http://starduster.com/grfx/SA100.jpg)

Yeah I'm a sucker for the Bipe too, it's a 2B. A cheap gratuitous shot :D, but I couldn't help it 8). I can't wait for the 06 season to start.

Furb you looking for the one to AC/DC?

Post by: Wolf14 on February 10, 2006, 04:47:25 AM: I dont mean to be picky but can these be posted without the negatisation?

I am all out of acid atm and dont see getting any in, anytime soon, in the foreseeable future. So I cant really enjoy the vids much and I'd like to see them in real light.

Post by: FiLtH on February 10, 2006, 07:03:56 AM: Thats a nice looking shot of the corsair StarofAfrica. There are some cars and planes that make me feel like I do lookin at a beautiful woman. Where's the tail pipe?

Asilvia, TC is the guy to see if you want to get some Corsair time. He's a guru with them.

He's also a Trainer. Look him up, he's well worth spending time with.

I also have a few hours in the Hog. Feel free to give me a shout if you see me in game, I can give you a few pointers if you like.

cheers,
RTR

WTF is negatisation? The films are exactly as they came off the camera. They are as clear as the origainals would allow. Also there is some degradation due to making them intqardnet friendly. Also as you can see it was overcast the first day. Sunny the second so you'll probably have to wait for day 2.

That is a great shot star! I have some cool shots of when the Jolly Roger flew in. I'll post that film soon too. Right now I am working on the A10s.

Post by: Hoarach on February 10, 2006, 05:55:14 PM: Was fun at that event seeing a lot people from AH get together.

Sadly that b25 pilot had more balls then the hog pilots. B25 was so close to the ground and buzzed and opened the bombbay in the process buzzing the field real nice. When the hogs tried to buzz the field, they flew a lot higher than the b25 so wasnt a very good buzz by.

Seeing mars in his pitts was way cool. Going from taking off to straight up after going maybe half down the runway was shocking to what that plane can do.

Big thanks to TwrATM for getting us behind the ropes. He got us to the runway where the planes taxied to and took off and is unforgettable experience.

Post by: Morpheus on February 10, 2006, 11:08:46 PM: I think he's talking about the one where we flew in to the air port for a low pass with what's his name in his Pitts, Rob. Over Long Island sound then back in for the pass. In the un-edited version you get a nice shot of my leg. :)

Btw I miss summer. :(

Post by: mars01 on February 11, 2006, 11:07:27 PM: Yeah,

That is the frist time I have ever expierianced prop wash. LOL

That is in the works morph I just cut the source of that the other day and the A10s! Maybe I'll finnish those tomorrow.

Just as an aside Hoar, I know the guy who usually flies Skyboss aka
Triple Nickel. He's in his middle 60s and said that he's at a show to
show what the plane is capable of, not what the pilot is.

Title: Finally Corsairs Over Connecticut 05 Films
Post by: Glasses on February 12, 2006, 01:30:16 PM: Did they drop flaps and go vertical at 50mph like they do in AH with little or no Torque effect? :D
Title: Finally Corsairs Over Connecticut 05 Films
Post by: mars01 on February 12, 2006, 05:16:55 PM: Crap I didnt know they were dead I'll take a look at what is going on. This was a free sight so something might be up?

I played them with media player but the colors are orange, reds, blues,.....it looks like it was shot with an infared camera.

Post by: Hoarach on February 14, 2006, 08:50:49 PM: Just got around to watching the films. Those hogs appear to have flown a lot slower then on the last day when there was 4.
Title: Finally Corsairs Over Connecticut 05 Films
Post by: Morpheus on February 14, 2006, 09:03:16 PM: They were flying like girls on the first two days. I wanted to see some high G turns, rolls, loops. Something!

It was still fun to see them though. :)

Yeah, I hear they are doing it again this year, so hopefully they get the six or more they were supposed to and these guys are more comfortable and willing to open them up some. I guess they still have to abide by the FAA 200 or under rules. Twr might know better tho?

I have some Day2 stuff comming soon, More hog passes and some B25 passes. Also A10s made a couple of cool passes too.
